Sorry, lots of work here. Ok, so you made all tests and found errors in the file system. 1. How old is your computer? 2. Did you buy it brand new or used? Meaning, will you be able to call Alienware's support people as yrag suggested and tell them how your system is behaving? If so you should also tell them that you used the above tool to test the hard drive and found errors in the file system e

That either means that you run other programs while the check is going on or, if that not the case, file system on the hard drive has been damaged. If you have run other programs while the test was going on you may want to rerun it and letting it run it's course before using the system. If you only opened IE and ran the test you should run the "Generic Drive Tests" too.

That's good. Close that window to get back to the previous selection window and tell the online tool to do the "File System Check" and after that the "Generic Drive Tests" too.

"I have just reformated my hard drive because my pc started to glitch. now whenever i turn on, reboot, return from stand by it mostly freezes my computer, and when it returns my computer is super slow and the graphics are messed up!" Hi Gamanade. Your description leads me to think that there is a risk that your hard drive may the culprit. If the hard drive surface is damaged in one or more places your sys

Yes, IETab is quite handy when checking compatibility. If you design web pages I must recommend the Web Developer extension. It's the hands down most useful extension I've ever come across when it comes to construct web pages. https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=60&application=firefox

Ever since I heard that Google is part of DARPA's spyproject LifeLog I shun everything Googlish, only using the search engine now and then to check difference between results. And just how many so called "ex" NSA employers are now working at Google? More about LifeLog in this article from Wired; http://www.wired.com/news/business/0,1367,58909,00.html (this is the article that exposed the LifeLog project to the

Very interesting article Brad. From what you write I see that your biggest problem is that you haven't decided what you want to do. You have to decide if you want be content providers, or, creators of the tools that content providers use to make cool stuff. It's either or, you can't have both in this case. Imagine if Adobe had decided that "hot dang, this Photoshop application is making it

Master Z71: What you are encountering is very likely one of the extremely bad flaws in IE. As DigitalDanes points out you can, most of the time, use Ctrl+scroll to change font size, you can also use Ctrl together with + and - to change the text size on most webpages. Or go to View > Text Size and change the size there. People who make webpages has over the years learned to set the font size on their webpa

Bash2cool: You must input the ip-address of a webserver where you can put your web-page files. That means you need to find a server for hosting your web-page if your school doesn't provide one for the project. There are a few companies offering free web-site hosting. To get it free you have to put up with them showing ads on your pages. Here are a couple free hosting providers: Tripod

Bash2cool: you can download a fully functional version of Dreamweaver that will time out after a month or so. Enough time to get up and running learning the basics with the many great tutorials out there. I would advise against Frontpage since it doesn't generate code that works well with other browsers than IE on windows =\ If you want to start with webpages you want to start making pages that are easy to crea

The only thing that works is to uninstall IconPackager and delete any files (you can keep the different icon folders and their content) living in IconPackager folder =~( Then you may want to try and reinstall an earlier non-beta version if you still want to use special icons.

Yes. Life after death is certain. It's the way we (our souls) can grow and learn what is good and what is bad. Let's say you kill (a very bad thing) someone in this life, then you will, in your next life, at one point, be the victim of a murderer. Just so you will understand that killing other beings is not a good thing. This is what I am certain off. Pay attention to

So far so good =D Feedback from my sytem (XP Sp2, P4 3.2GHz, 2GB Ram, ATI Radeon 9800XT): a. Overall very fast and it feels quite stable for being a beta release. b. It took a while to find the "Apply this skin" button etc. since they are not in a very intuitive place. c. Loading new skins was confusing since no matter how many times I loaded a skin it didn't appear with the rest of the skins in the

Lo The Phlash Please explain what you are trying to do. Are you testing the Vista skin or are you running the Vista OS? If you are testing the Vista skin you can't get it to look transparent without it being updated to use with WB5.

Microsoft will be around for a good while. Companies will never use an "online OS" environment because of the major security issues and I myself can't see me using it either. Even though Microsoft has been doing things wrong in the past when it comes to userfriendlyness of their OS and applications, I feel, from what they have shown of their coming Office and Vista products, that they may finally be starti
