Error Messages


Posted Thursday January 15 2009, 7:02 pm

I'm having a serious issue with some of my programs. Yesterday they were all working just fine!

When I try to open the following programs:
Windows Live Messenger
Yahoo Messenger
Mahjong Garden Deluxe
Tri Peaks Solitare 2

I get the following message:
This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

I uninstalled, then reinstalled Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo Messenger. This did not fix the problem.
I even did a system restore back to yesterday, which said it changed nothing. I then restored back to Saturday, which fixed nothing.
I did virus scans yesterday...

Transferring TextMessages!


Posted Tuesday January 13 2009, 10:50 pm

I have a TMobile SidekickID and my inbox only holds 100 messages (50 sent and 50 received, more or less) and it's full. It's been an important conversation and I'd like to keep it for reference, so how would I do that? I think I can save messages to my sim card, but I don't know what that means.
Help?

Sims 2 HELP.


Posted Saturday January 10 2009, 8:20 pm

So, I have the Sims 2 Double Deluxe for PC.
Anytime I try to play it though, it says to insert the original disk instead of the backup (1000).

I have no idea what this means.
But I uninstalled it, reinstalled it. Twice.
Then actually bought a whole new game and installed it and its saying the same thing.


Does anyone know how to fix this?!
Please helpppppppp.

computer problem - usb ports


Posted Saturday January 10 2009, 7:20 am

I had to wipe everything from my computer and start from scratch. I didn't have a Windows CD, so used a friends.. and it was pretty crap, cos it seems like I had to download everything myself anyway.
There's one thing I'm stuck on, though.
When I plug my ipod/iphone in, this comes up:

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b75/lanlanlan/4544.jpg

I tried to see if there were any available ports, but it said there wasn't.

I figured this could be the reason why itunes doesn't recognize my device.

So....
how do I rectify this problem?

Thanks guys x

myspace pose?


Posted Thursday January 8 2009, 11:52 pm

I know, lame, right? I'm not a total myspace freak or anything, you know, the type who's always on and has to have a million comments on the same kissy-face picture everyone has? But I do want a nice picture or two for my myspace, since I've already got plenty of me with my family and stuff. Basically, a, well, "MySpace Picture". Nothing exaggerated, nothing slutty, definitely nothing desperate, but something nice. Any suggestions for simple poses, settings, effects, stuff like that? f/16

disk drive keeps ejecting


Posted Sunday January 4 2009, 12:12 am

The disk drive on my computer keeps repeatedly ejecting. Every time I close it, it'll eject again. What's the deal?

The button that you push to open it, I know that you're supposed to use that button to close it again, but on this computer (it's a Vista, if that means anything) the button folds down when the drive's open. So to close it, I've just been pushing it in.
Sorry if that didn't make any sense.

Any idea what the problem could be? And if it's fixable?
