I have CD-Key, but no Vista CD. Can I still reformat my HD, or am I screwed?

Blitz

Ok,

So about couple weeks ago, in my system tray I have a message saying "Some Windows startup programs were blocked". Whatever, I ignored that.

Then my laptop started to crash, screen flickered, blank screen, and then my desktop would show up again, and I would get a message saying "Display ...

Thanks guys.

Things are going well. But its awesome to see so many members still posting away. Guess thats what happens when you post on a kick ass website.

Congrats Nightowl, seems like you're well settled down (Y)

Wow, lot of you guys are still around.

And yes, JdBlitz is someone different. I remember JDBlitz, cause he was a huge Colts fan from Indy....

Got it to work!

Thanks.

Hey Guys,

I'm making a Microsoft Powerpoint Presentation, and I need to play a .mp3 in the background while the slides are going? Anyone know how to do that?

Also, how do you change the settings so that the slides automatically switch to the next one, without having to click each time?

As you ...

Blitz

Ok

I just rebooted and everything is fine.

Odd.

Blitz

Hmmm

Now I'm really worried....I really need to check my e-mail. Damn

Blitz

Just wondering...Cause I can't login to either

Blitz

Ya, I just tried it again, and nothing....

Very frustrating that I can't transfer music onto my iPod...

Argh.

Such a simple task!

Blitz

Thats what I thought...

hmmm.

Also, how do I know when transfer is complete? Do I just yank out USB whenever I feel like it? lol.

Sorry, but I'm used to my iRiver, and that program was much simpler than iTunes..

Blitz

Hey Guys,

Just got an iPod Mini.

With regards to iTunes, I got a question.

When I want to transfer songs to my iPod from CPU, do I always have to fully recharge it before I can play the newly transferred songs? Cause right now, the "new" songs don't show up until my iPod is fully recharged. And I ...

Hey Guys,

I have an interview to work at my college book store, and I need some ideas. I e-mailed the manager what I should expect to say at the interview, and replied me with this:

will look as an AMS service and what sort ...

Damn...

This place has changed

Ya, my last post was in 2003, but that was like 2-3, I haven't been a regular post here since 2001....

Whatever happened to the likes of John and Brent? They were the Kings of SG when I was here...

Regular Posters included Wee96, CoolJ, HalfLifer, Banshee.....

Blitz

I think the last time I posted on here was July, 2001....

I remember guys like Minir, Brent, Prey521, Scrum, Mouse, Vegeto, Banshee.....Haha, good times for sure.

I guess a lot has happened in 4 years

And Prey, your Mets are looking good this year, but not as good as my GIANTS

Blitz

So ya, last few days, my laptop just shuts off.....Like I'll be playing CS or just surfing the net, and then it just shuts off...

Overheating? Virus?

I've had this laptop for close to 4 months, and it's been great till this past week...

However, I never turned off my laptop during these four ...

Blitz

K, so I have a Laptop.

whenever I "kick" into Standby mode, MSN Messenger disconnects on me, and I have to reconnect. So if I leave my comp for only 15 min, it will go into Standby and disconnect MSN, making it a nuisance for me to always log in....

Where can I change this? I went to Personal ...

Ok, so I just reformatted my comp.

I have Outlook Express.

Then I installed MS Office XP Small Bus. Edition, which comes with Outlook XP.

By accident, I installed/registered my Outlook, and now when I open my browser window (IE 5.0) and click on the "mail" icon on my browser icon, it uses Outlook ...

Yep, never done it before, but I think I want to now

I know its a simple task, just want to make sure I do it right.

Can someone please list the steps in formatting a HD? TIA.

Blitz

THanks Smartasses

Ya, my new Laptop is coming with a 24X CD-RW/DVD Combo.....

But right now, my Desktop has nothing.......

And I don't feel like networking the two, since I will be taking the Laptop with me shortly too school....

So if you know any sites, share the love

You Said it Brother.

The Internet is Going DOWNHILL.

I use the internet at the most, 1 hour per day, with the only uses being:

1) Downloading Music
2) ICQ, MSN, E-mail
3) Getting Sports Info (Scores, Articles)

And ya, during the schoolyear, I do a lot of online research for reports.....

I just like getting lots of input/ideas/suggestions.

Especially since you guys are all so much more advanced intellectually with this kinda stuff....

I appreciate all the replies I'm getting :)

But ya man, I have needs/wants/A BUDGET. So in the end, I'm ...

Blitz

ya, thats true

I usually just e-mail myself my reports........

It costs $30 to buy.....but I'll get it, but ya, I doubt I'll use it much when I think about it.....

Blitz

thats what I asked, if its just a USB hook up......

stupid person, heh

but anyway, it looks a little inconvenient compared to the other "normal" laptops witha built in floppy.........is it inconvenient, or am I being ignorant?

Oh really.....Didn't know that.

In the systems discussed in my other thread, for $100 more I get 512 MB DDR Ram + 40 GB.......or I could save $100 and get 256 DDR Ram + 60 GB?

Which would you reccomend?

Blitz

You Sound as if these two companies are not good for laptops?

Any suggestions?

Dell?

The Dell system equivalent to the HP system is about $200 more......

Should I go for it?

Blitz

Should I purchase a system that will give me more Ram for the buck, or more HD Space?

I don't download movies or anything, so I guess Ram........but then again, you can't really upgrade your HD for Laptop, so......
