    14 wonderful words with no English equivalent

    Having been born in 1966, I have never seen them, except in the US on old (ancient/antique) cars... I thought that would get someone to reminisce... actually, that was quite often used by US soldiers back in the 70's and 80's (of last century), always had me chuckling... It is the World...

    Literally Wrong

    no it does not... this is inheritable wrong, what it states is that there are actually only TWO objects being compared and that there is more than ONE difference between the two... to clarify: 1&4 is one object and 5&3 is the other... the difference of 3 is singular, in this case... thus the...

    I/O device error when trying to create a system image in Win7

    No, the DiskWizard is there for transferring from one drive to another for the purpose of replacement of the first drive (or for setting up the newly drive)... so it would be best to use a program such as Acronis 10 Home (see Linney's post for the link) or Paragon Backup & Recovery 12... Ben...

    Dell Inspiron 530 Will Not Power On.

    Don't know if this is still valid for the problem, meaning OP may have it already fixed, but most PSU's out there today have a circuitry that prevents power to components when it detects a loss of power. To reset the PSU, all you need to do is to remove the power cable and hold the PWR ON...

    Addressing more than 192GBs of RAM...

    These WS are custom build, and we use Supermicro Server Mainboards Dual Socket CPUs... as to the HP, well no wont touch them if I can help it... ;) HP sells these with the max 192GB of mem, if you want to install Win7 as the OS, with the launch of Win8, I am assuming that HP will follow up and...

    Boot Sector Virus??? - Windows 7 Black Screen

    For a BOOT sector reset, why not boot into an XP or Win7 DVD, and do a System Repair (Command prompt for XP)... on XP: log into the Windows that is installed, then issue FIXBOOT and FIXMBR one after another. Win7: pretty much self-explanatory. alternatively, you could boot with any Live...

    Open .XPA file extension attachment

    Firstly, this is in the wrong Forum to begin with, as this is NOT an eMail issue... secondly, the XPA file-extension is a container, which can house different video/audio codec information plus encryption. These can be viewed using the CCTV Software from the manufacturer of said system, you...

    Working fix for FBI moneypak rogue?

    SG, haven't tested it on my Win7 X64 rig yet, just on my work PC (XP 32bit) and there it did not detect anything (clean PC to start with) and nothing from Comodo as a false positive... but then again it is still in the BETA stage... Ben "If it works don't fix it! If it doesn't use a...

    "PcAnywhere" functionality in Windows 7?

    Goom, no and no... TeamViewer will only popup at the end of the connection, asking if you liked it to buy it, this is not a must but a little annoyance. To get you to buy it, if you click it away nothing detrimental happens... As to crapping out, well that could be related to where it...
