Computer


Posted Sunday September 23 2007, 2:02 pm

Yesterday when I turned on my computer, it didn't log on, it said, "We cannot load your profile because it may be corrupted. Please contact your administrator." Or something like that. Well, this is a family computer and we have no administrator... So now when I log on, it's like a temporary profile thing. This means that all my files and everyone else's is gone! I have this McAfee program thing where you can backup and restore files, but I don't think I did that, so I'm not sure how I can fix it. What can I do? Or should I just bring it to a store to fix it? (I really need some of these files and I'll be really mad and sad if I can't get them back! ='|)

The Sims 2 For Mac


Posted Saturday September 22 2007, 2:04 pm

I just got a brand new mac mini computer. I also have the Sims 2 but I can't play it anymore on my old computer because there isn't enough memory. So, I tried to install the sims on my new mac and it's like not working. It said to free up space on my hard drive but that's rediculous because this new computer has twice as much memory as the old one did and I was still able to play it on the old one. Is there some special step by step process I have to follow in order to install it? Help.

downloading infrarecorder


Posted Saturday September 22 2007, 10:55 am

http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/?page_id=5

To download I clicked on Zip archive (Windows 2000/XP, 3.17 MiB), and it went to a page.

A box poped up to download and i clicked open.

WinZip opened and I clicked on the button that said USE EVALUATION VERSION.

Then it opened on Winzip page with like 100 lists of things =/

Here's a screencap of it:

Burning on Windows Vista


Posted Thursday September 20 2007, 6:14 pm

O.K. So I have Windows Vista 2007
I downloaded Limewire onto my computer
I downloaded the songs from Limewire onto my computer

I saved them onto Windows Media Player, which it does have stored on because it actually plays the songs on there.

I clicked burn on Windows Media.
It said it burned it. I TEST it to see if it did so, and it didn't.

I made my own list on another program that I have to drag the songs, and then I clicked burn there. It supposedly burned and popped out, so I tested it and I heard nothing.

I really need to know step by step how to burn downloaded music (preferably off of limewire) onto Windows Vista 2007 b/c nothing is working and it's ...

Quicktime Movie Maker


Posted Thursday September 20 2007, 2:43 am

Is there a "Editing program" like Windows Movie maker that can edit QUICKTIME (.mov) files???

Because ive tried uploading quicktime videos into windows movie maker, but it just doesn't support it.

So is there an editing program that is available for free download off the internet that can edit Quicktime videos just like Windows Movie Maker?

Thanks!!

Extracted Files Directory

Okay, I am having troubles with this software, and their tech support contacted me in response to my problem, sending me an attached .inf file. They said to "place the attached .inf file* in the extracted files directory".

The problem is, where is the extracted files directory located on your computer?

Laptop Skins


Posted Wednesday September 19 2007, 1:27 pm

I've been looking for a laptop skin for my Toshiba. It's a standard 15.4" laptop.

I have looked in stores like staples, target, and circuit city. They did have a few skins for sale, but I did not like any of the designs. I have been searching the web for laptop skins, but the only ones I can find are over $20. Does anyone know any web sites or stores that I can get a laptop skin for cheaper than that?

Do you think I would be better off just covering my laptop with something else? If so, suggestions?

Thank you!
