I have a Dell 4150 and Windows became corrupt. So far Dell has only been able to tell me to reformat and start over, but I need the recent data (mostly graphics files) off of my disc. I purchased an ide to usb enclosure, removed the drive from the laptop and was able to access it immediately...

Can anyone recommend a simple event sign up script - I've got 70-80 volunteers that need to sign up for staggered shifts. I'll need them to log in then view the schedule. I don't really want to do a complicated calendar/schedule program.

I bought a w2000 IBM network computer off of eBay mostly for testing Websites on different browsers (I'm a web designer) - I was going to try to learn .NET and when I tried to install IIS, it asked for a w2000 disc that I don't have (I have a w2000 license). I tried to contact IBM but they...

I've been getting returned mail notices for mail that I did not send. I contacted my ISP and they claim that it must be a virus or adware in my computer that is doing it. I use SPYBOT and ADAWARE and Norton AV. They recommended a complete reformatting of my hard drive. I dont think so...

I just purchased a used PIII machine that has Win 2000 loaded with the license, but no discs. I bought the machine to test asp and .net sites since I usually use Apache. I'm afraid when I start installing .NET it's going to ask me for the OS discs. Am I SOL or does MS honor the license?

If the old host doesn't have the backup files, it looks this poor guy is totally out of luck. Is there any process or company that you are aware of that could "DEBUG" the corruption, or are we better of starting from scratch here? As it is, I'm thinking I'm way over my head with this one.

Thanks for the replies - now I have even more concerns. The old host said there is no backup copies, and I'm thinking more and more that the files were corrupted in some way. I'm afraid that even if we were to switch hosts it wouldn't work. Here is an exerpt from the homepage saved in .asp...

A potential client came to me with this problem - his host went out of business and he transferred his entire site to Yahoo Bus. Svc. Bad move, since his site was written with .asp and YBS doesn't support it. He asked me to try and get the homepage up and running at least - problem is, when I...

I'm guessing that you have your main page in a seperate folder than the supporting pages. It's a pain, but if you are uncomfortable with includes you can initially put all of the files in the same folder - if you want to move it later, DW should update all of the links - just remember what you...

I did a clean reboot the second time I tried to install, and still no go. I tried to uninstall, but there is no trace of the program when I add/remove programs. I tried to uninstall the IIS and that just hung. If I did a clean reboot and it still doesn't work, will turning off script blocking...

I attempted to install vb.net for a class. Installation failed and now all installations fail. The first attempt prompted me to install IIS and FP extensions. I did so. The vb.net cd prompted me to insert the studio.net prereq cd which tried to install the .net framework. At the end of the...

My group wants me to password protect an area of the site and they would all like unique passwords. I have not yet learned how to integrate databases with a website (althought that is my next move). I can set up a database in Access. I have all of the Macromedia aps and I know FP, HTML...

I have never done an ecommerce site before, and I was wondering if anyone had any general suggestions for hosting, etc. It is for a nonprofit organization, and I have to keep costs down. All I need is the ability to accept MC/V. Any suggestions would be welcome.

I know that there are some services that you pay either a minimal amount they are free with ads. I don't think I could write one on my own yet... Any ideas for a good chat service?

I just took over a site hosted on Geocities Plus (no indepenent domain name, no ads, with supposed FTP ability). I use Dreamweaver MX to maintain other sites, but have done them from scratch. What I want to do is download the current site from geocities, then continue to maintain it, keeping a...
