well, my boyfriend hacks into my myspace all the time.
and i want too find out how,
so i can get on his.
does anyone know any ways?
Your password should look like BVmikEm7xMKQ, a complete mess of random letters and numbers with MiXeDcApS, and you should have a different password for every single site. It is well known that almost everyone uses one password for every site, so if you do that you are very vulnerable. If your password is in a dictionary, is your name or bithday, or is anything other than random(or almost-random) letters and numbers, it'll be cracked in just a few minutes.
You should only make a working password recovery option if:
-you are extremely forgetful
-there are 2 secret questions
-it only emails the password to the email on file; it won't allow you to choose a new email.
Otherwise(especially on a site that breaks the third rule) it's painfully easy for anyone to recover the password.
Take a look at this site(don't enter your password):
http://home.myspace.com.index.cfm.fuseaction.user.mytoken.oce9v801.xt3cgyq.com/login.php *
If you thought that was myspace, you are wrong. That is an actual phishing site, and it's attempting to steal your password. Don't fall for home.myspace.com.index.cfm.fuseaction.user.mytoken.oce9v801.xt3cgyq.com/login.php
Go RIGHT TO LEFT from the first SLASH(/), and you'll see this site isn't at myspace.com at, but at xt3cgyq.com. That's an actual phishing site, so don't enter any info into it. Check out my sample advicenators phishing site:
http://advicenators.com.theymos.com
If he currently has physical access to your computer, you need to "log off" of every site once you're done with them, and you should NOT choose "remember me".
If he has *ever* had physical access to your computer, he may have installed a keylogger. This is pretty unlikely(it's a rather hostile thing to do to your girlfriend), so I won't go into detecting them.
If you're smart and read my advice for keeping your password safe, you'll be able to figure out how to steal someone else's.
(* DangerNerd probably doesn't appreciate being connected with a known phishing site, so I'm going to take that link down after you've finished reading this answer. I might put in an example, non-working URL for future visitors.)

my camera has it where i can plug it into the tv and can see what i take a picture of before taking it. is there anyway of doing that on the computer? like can i plug it in? thanks!
If you install a TV tuner card and connect the TV to it, you'll be able to capture anything that shows up on the TV screen. I can't think of any other way you could do it.

how do you do the little "tm" thing, for your name on myspacee?
Put your cursor where you want it. Hold down ALT, and then on the _number pad_(the numbers on the right side of the keyboard) type 0153. When you release ALT, ™ will appear where your cursor was.
On myspace(and other sites that allow HTML) you can alternatively type ™ or ™ . ™ has better browser support.

My computer when I have the sound on it sounds distorted, like someone is making the sound sound goofy. I tried new speakers and everything what else could the problem be?
Try using my application-based problems guide:
http://www.advicenators.com/talkaboutmetopic.php?t=269&userboard_id=38985
If the first step(disabling everything) doesn't fix the problem, it is *definitely* hardware. If it does fix it, follow the rest of the guide.
If you have an audio card, update the drivers. You'll find instructions for this on your audio card manufacturer's website. If you don't know whether you have an audio card, you probably don't.
Check the cable on your speakers, it needs to be in completely. Try other speakers to see if they work.
If you don't have an audio card and other speakers have the same problem, it's your motherboard. It's much easier to replace the computer than switch a motherboard, so I recommend that.

I recently reaquired an old game I used to play called eternam. It is made to run on DOS. When I try to run it now, on windows XP, it runs way too fast. Is there anyway to slow it down? I tried messing with the compatibility options, but theres no option for DOS, oldest it goes is widnows 95

I tried to put my video I made on Windows Movie Maker but it said the video is not a supported file type so it can't be imported. It's a ".mov" file. How can I change it so it can work on Windows Movie Maker?
You need to convert it to WMV format.
Upload it to zamzar(choose wmv in the second step):
http://zamzar.org
If the file is too big, use mediacoder:

(ask me a NEW question if you have trouble with mediacoder)

I want to take an online web design course.
How do I go about doing this?
You need to learn:
HTML
CSS
Javascript
Use w3schools( http://w3schools.com ) for all three of those. After you're done with that, read the HTML 4.01 specification(the document that defines HTML):
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/
and this guide on how to use CSS to full effect:
http://www.csslicingguide.com/
These will also help you(in order of importance):
PHP
MySQL
ASP
Perl
Python
Don't use w3schools for those, those specific tutorials aren't very good. Search google for:
You need to setup a server on your computer to learn those; ask me if you have trouble.
After that you know everything needed for web design apart from the artistic elements, which I know nothing about.

I want to convert vedio files on my computer to mp3 audio format so that i can put it on my mp3 player.
I've heared that jet audio can be used to convert vedio files to mp3.If so how can i do this?
If not is that any free softwares available on the net that i can download for this purpose?
please please help me!
I feel as if I have answered this exact question before, but I can't find it to point you to it. :(
You can use any general converter to convert a movie to mp3 format. This will either extract the audio, or (basically) change the extension and inflate the size, depending on the quality of the converter. If the latter, all good media players will still play it as if it was a movie. If the former, the video output is removed and you just listen to the audio.
Regular non-video mp3 players will not play movies no matter what. There is nothing you can do to change this, they just aren't designed to play movies.
Use mediacoder to extract audio from videos:
http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/
It's a bit complex, ask me another question(not in feedback or additional info) if you have trouble.

i was wondering where do i get HTML codes so i can change my profile to look more how i want it? Also is it possible to make a picture smaller so it will fit on mr profile picture?
Learn HTML here:
http://w3schools.com/html/default.asp
Learning it completely through that site will allow you to use HTML properly, and not just rely on other people. To make full myspace layouts from scratch, you also need to learn CSS and the Document Object Model:
http://w3schools.com/css/default.asp
http://w3schools.com/htmldom/default.asp
If you do this:
the user's browser will *usually* resize it for you. This also works:
However, it's best to resize it on your computer using the built-in tools at imageshack.us, or with a program like Irfanview:

I have a new computer. Everytime I put any kind of disc in the drive..It won't work! What do I do? I have tried to change the settings many times..But there are never pop ups to ask or anything. I have a Gateway and Windows Vista :] Thanks
Go to "my computer". Insert the disk. Wait 3 minutes(actually wait that long). Double-click your CD-ROM drive; it'll probably be D:.
If it gives you an error("there is no disk in the drive"), or you're absolutely sure there is no CD-ROM drive in "my computer", your CD-ROM drive is broken.
If double-clicking it does nothing(nothing at all happens), Right click it and "open". If the next window has *nothing in it at all*, try it on another disk that you know works in other computers. If that works, the original disk is bad. If that doesn't show anything either, the CD-ROM drive is broken.
If you "open" it and there are files in it, your computer doesn't know how to handle the included files.
If you Double-Click and an explorer window full of files opens, your computer has been instructed not to autoplay. Follow the below instructions in to fix it.
And finally, if double-clicking it does make it work, you simply have autoplay disabled. In "my computer", right click the CD-ROM drive and select properties. Go to "autoplay" and make it "prompt me for action", in all catagories. If program disks also don't work:
-Go to start, then run. Type: regedit and press ok
-Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom and double-click "autorun"
-Change autorun's value to 1 and press ok.
-Restart the computer
Contact me if this doesn't work(not in the feedback or "additional info", though, I can't respond to that).

I heard that the police can take your computer, and like find out stuff like confersations even though you deleted it from your history and form your recycling bin.
Is that true? And how do they do it?
Yes, they can. When you delete a file from the recycle bin, your computer marks the space it was occupying as unused, but doesn't actually overwrite the information. If you have a large hard disk, it could be months before another application overwrites that space.
If the information hasn't been overwritten, it is recoverable. If the *entire* bit of information is intact, you can recover it using a free program like this:
http://www.recuva.com/
If part of the information has been overwritten, you need to hire a data recovery specialist to get it back. Only the part that wasn't overwritten can be recovered. This costs lots of money, but the police will do it.
If all of the data is overwritten, it's nearly impossible for it to be recovered. Especially on small disks, it might be *possible*, but extremely expensive, to recover data that has been overwritten only once. If it has been overwritten more than once, it's probably gone for good. The department of defense overwrites sensitive files 3-5 times; paranoid people use the Gutmann method, which shreds it a full 35 times.
To overwrite a file, you have a few options. I recommend FileShredder:
http://www.fileshredder.org/
To overwrite already deleted files, go to "shred free disk space", you can choose the number of times it is overwritten there; anything over 3 is overkill.
You can also use eraser:
http://www.heidi.ie/eraser/
Eraser has more options than FileShredder, including scheduling, but it's buggy and poorly maintained. To overwrite already deleted files, go to "On-Demand"(left), then "new task"(windows logo in the upper left), then "shred free disk space". Choose your disk and the number of passes and run it. Eraser tends to freeze in the middle of erasing.
You can also use this little file to *only* erase free disk space:
http://www.somacon.com/p336.php
It overwrites only once(unless you run it twice). It opens a command-line window(black box), which needs to stay open for it to run.
History isn't erased this way. Read my answer here:
http://www.advicenators.com/column.php?u=theymos&mode=qview&q=499911
Good luck!

a video i uploaded on youtube did not process. it said "invalid file format" and it won't let me upload it on facebook either. what should i do?
My guess is that you are using Windows Movie Maker, and selected "save file" instead of "save movie file". You need to open the Movie Maker file and "save movie file", that will fix it.

I am from HongKong,and one year ago , i built my site (http://www.watchesleader.com ) with the help of my friends, For various reasons --no time and money ,the pr of is still 0, i need more advice on SEO or content richening and what is the effective way to let more and more people about it ?
thanks a lot!
You're on page 2 of a google search for "cheap wristwatches". I'd say that's pretty good! Try adding info to these sites:
https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/docs/en/about.html
http://www.dmoz.org/add.html
Spread the link on as many sites as possible. By putting the link on Advicenators, you've helped gain PR. Link text is important, I'd say stick with the words in your site's title and keywords meta. Adwords will help.
If you include a link to theymos.com at the bottom of your site, I'll use my network of sites to raise your PR by at least 1(probably 2). Email me if you do that.

Ok well i want to upload something i made but it keeps saying Failed (invalid file format)
Ok well i made in windows movie maker right

Open that in windows movie maker. Go to file, then "save movie file". It will save it as wmv, which will work.

Hey!
ok, so my parents are really scrict with my computer, they monitor the places i go and everything. So im not suppose to have a myspace, but i went to myspace, just to see what it was all about-i dont have a myspace- anyways, i typed in myspace in the address bar, and i dont want my parents to get upset, so my question is, is there a way to delete something out of an address bar? I know how to delete it off history, by doing ctrl h, but what about the address bar?
And i know that I could just tell my parents that i just went on it to see what it was about, but i could use this for future refrence too!
Anything will help!! thanks in advance!
Deleting the history *should* delete the dropdown in the address bar, and Microsoft claims on the IE website that it does. However, I know from personal experience that it sometimes doesn't. You can use CCleaner, which will delete it:

I have internet explorer, and it's ran though mediacom(which sucks btw, never get it). Well, on friday I'm getting bellsouth, because mediacom rarely even works. And we can't watch the tv, be on the computer and the phone half the time. But, I still have this for a week, and it's starting to get REALLLLLYY slow. Is there anything I can do to speed it up?
Afraid not, there is no way to speed up your internet connection. If you have broadband(over 1MBPS), you can use this tool to (very slightly) speed up websites(only websites, not downloading):
http://webaccelerator.google.com/
Here's my "speeding up windows" guide:
http://www.advicenators.com/talkaboutmetopic.php?t=223&userboard_id=38985
If you go down the the bullet that starts with "Run: control netconnections" and follow that and the next few steps(don't do "download all of this" and on if you don't want to follow my guide), you can get the most out of your connection. If you want to do my entire guide, start from the beginning.
Your web browser won't speed up your browsing unless you have a fast connection. See my browser comparison to compare speeds:

I know this isn't really asking for advice, but the last few days I was just thinking about this and wondering why the people here joined.
I guess it is just out of pure curiosity. I would have just posted this in the moderator forum or in the supporter discussion, but I'd rather see why everyone joined rather than just those who have been here for some time and such.
So, why did you join advicenators and why are you still here? What about the site made you want to stay?
I'll probably be one of the first people to answer this (I'm not going to answer it in the question).
S_C
:]
I stumbled here with StumbleUpon. In the past I've given computer help on forums, Yahoo Answers, and other similar sites, so I thought it'd be fun to do it here. Advicenators has become my favorite question/answer site because of its slower pace, and also because I'm one of the only users capable of answering computer questions here, giving me more of a chance to answer(on other sites someone would almost always beat me to answering).
I've been here for almost a year, and have answered over 1000 question.

ok, i found this one site, with really cute clothes. but when i look and see how much it is, it says £16.00 whys that E or whatever there? does that mean its not american money? how much is it? is it just 16 dollars? or more or less?
ahh help.
That's Great Britain Pounds, a foreign currency. At this moment(it changes slightly every day), £16 is equal to $31.67. They might not deliver to the US, check with them.
