    Any download stops after a few seconds

    I have a rather debilitating network issue. All downloads, whether mail, http, or other protocols, stop abruptly if they take more than an arbitrary number of seconds. However, uploads are fine. Although the amount of time seems to be random, the problem is system-wide in all programs that...

    Forward slash key stops working

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A105-S361 laptop, running XP Pro (chipset v1.7). Every once in awhile - I cannot find any repeatable cause - the / key stops printing a / and instead does nothing. The ? still works and I can still make a / by using the Fn + / combination for the Fn-overlayed numeric...

    mod_perl design concept questions

    I am designing a web site in Perl, and although I have worked with perl for several years, I have just started researching mod_perl 2. Before mod_perl, a basic perl script used in this project could be abstracted as follows: • Browser hits contribute.pl • contribute.pl loads custom module...

    Flash Crashes when Initializing Fonts

    If anyone can be of any help, I would be immensely appreciative. There are a lot of people out there with the same problem, but no answers have worked for me so far. Issue: Approx 5 seconds after Flash MX Pro 2004 (and Flash 8 demo) splash screen hits "Initializing Fonts," Windows XP reports...

    Modify App Path (incorrect terminology, sorry!)

    Unfortunately tonight I have had an attack of forgetfulness. Please pardon my terminology, I will try to clearly explain what I mean. When in a command prompt, one can use commands such as 'notepad' and 'taskmgr' because the executable files are located in the system32 folder. However some...

    Disabling CD-ROM boot

    First, I'd like to say I am not just looking for instructions to use BIOS to change boot order. A colleague of mine has threatened to use a boot disk to enter into Windows and destroy my system. Is there any way to disable the CD-ROM drive so that it will not respond to a boot disk? Here...

    Update JTree on the fly

    I am using threads to create a network instant messenger program, and I need to update the contact list, which is a JTree. The Jtree is inside a JScrollPane inside a JFrame. I have implemented methods from "ChatListener" to detect the users on the network and any incoming chat requests. When...

    ATI Video Card/Onboard video adapter boot conflict

    Hello, A week or so ago, my Radeon x600 card stopped working, so I called Alienware tech support and they sent me a new one. When I installed it, it worked fine. When I rebooted the computer, and every time I have shut down or hibernated since then, it loaded the opposite adapter from what it...

    Using notebook HD as desktop boot drive

    Hello, My laptop is out for repair and I bought a convertor kit for my laptop HD so that I could use it on my older desktop while I am waiting for the laptop to arrive. Bear with me, I know very little about computer hardware. I replaced the current connections on my desktop boot drive with...

    Accidentally typed wrong product code!

    Hello, When typing the product code for Office 2003, I accidentally mistyped the last set of numbers. Before I realized it, I had pressed enter. I am afraid to register with an incorrect (but working) product code, in fear that they will see me, or someone else, as having stolen the software...

    Changing MS Office 2003 Product Code

    Hello, When entering my product code for MS Office 2003, I accidentally typed the number incorrectly, but it was still accepted. I want to change this number so that when I activate the product online, they don't think I stole the program and used someone else's product number. Anyone know...

    Possible to rotate screen upside-down?

    Is it possible to rotate the XP Pro Screen 180 degrees? I have downloaded the programs like "Bad Day" which only flip the screen, so if it were looked at from upside-down, it would read backwards. What I want to be able to do is type information or work on a web site or graphic image with my...

    Unusually Slow DSL

    Hello, I recently signed up for Alltel DSL, Tier 1 with a projected 768/128 kbps down/up. I am running ME with a SpeedStream 5200 modem, USB. I contacted Alltel because I was only receiving a max 150 k download, 15 k upload to be sure they had even signed me up for the right plan. They...
