Weird Computer..
Posted Wednesday December 5 2007, 3:10 pm
Alright well I mainly just set my computer into hibernation mode everytime I'm done using it. Well I noticed that later at night my computer just randomly turns on and same thing happen at around 6:00 in the morning. I have my settings set to after 1 minute it wil lautomatically go back into hibernation but when it automatically turns on it doesn't do that. Anyone know what's the problem? I'm always out of the house and I get uncomfortable if my computer some how turns on again and doesn't shut off after 1 minute and it will just sit there wasting a lot of electricity. I just wanna know how to stop my computer's habit of doing that.

Bypass
Posted Wednesday December 5 2007, 11:53 am
My school has a Smartfilter DA that blocks certain sights based on games. I have access to a lower administrator account and can access changing the password of a net user administrator. Anyone know how to bypass this filter and play the games I want (I know the sites dont have viruses). Or, anyone know how I can change the password (It comes up "type in new password for user", but I can't type anything in).

Posted Tuesday December 4 2007, 11:25 pm
my screen resolution is set to 800 by 600 pix which makes everything huge, i hate that. i want tit to 1024 by 700 pix but when i change it to that, it loses quality and everything is a blur, its because when i set the screen to 1024 is forces the color quality to be medium and i can't have highest color unless i use a 800 screen resolution. what to i do to fix this?

Posted Tuesday December 4 2007, 6:39 pm

Today, I got this message when I tried to access my Advicenators questions:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';' in /home/advice/public_html/qview.php on line 676
I don't know what that means, how to fix it, or if it's something wrong with my computer, or the Advicenators website? I haven't gotten this message on any other website.

A certain computer game
Posted Tuesday December 4 2007, 2:57 pm
Sorry if I'm not very descriptive but I saw someone playing this computer game. He was playing it with some friends and I manage to over hear and see a few details about it. Well I think it must be online multiplayer because they were able to meet each other, I think it's a combat/action type one because they were able to kill each other and see how many kills they got, and I think what they were playing was capture the flag on it since I heard one of them say they got the flag. What the environment looked like was they were running around and all I saw was like stone walls, secret passages, and ladders. And also they were playing on school computers so yeah it might be an unblocked site. All I want is I want to know game is that.

My Computer Shuts Down Randomly
Posted Tuesday December 4 2007, 12:23 am
My computer just shuts down randomly. I have no idea why but i'm sure it's a software problem since I left it on the temp/diagnostic or w.e the blue screen is called, when software isnt allowed through, for a few days and it didnt shut down. I know it's not the power supply since I replaced taht like 3 times already! And the temp. is fine, and I have a surge protector. What should I do? One of my friends said i should get a external hard drive, back up my system and redo the whole thing, but I really don't have the time to do that right now...I'm going through college applications. terrible timing. i have a laptop in case my main computer does die on me but for some reason i can't get internet on it. i bought a wrireless 2.4 ghz linksys for...

Verizon Contracts & a New Phone
Posted Monday December 3 2007, 11:07 am
The cell phone I have now went nuts yesterday, for lack of a better word. The keypad stopped working right and everything makes a 7 and I can no longer hit send or end.
So, this was the last straw. I am getting a new phone.
I really want an LG chocolate, the new version. I can buy it for $100 with a new two-year agreement. My question is, can I add two years to the contract I have now, without actually getting a new contract? My family has done this before; they made the contract expire two years from the day of activation of the new phone. Can this still be done?

Computer Speakers
Posted Sunday December 2 2007, 7:52 pm
I just bought new computer speakers because I thought my old ones busted. My old ones would be on (the green light would be on), and they were hooked up correctly, just sound wouldnt come out. When I go to the volume control thing, it wont let me open. It says "There are no active mixer devices available. To install mixer devices, go to Control Panel, click printers and other hardware, and then click add hardware." Well, I did all of that & It won't find my new speakers. It never came with a CD, so I don't know what to do.
Any help?
(ps. I am not too good with computers, so don't make it too hightech please.}
