    Which Messenger is Best

    I cant imagine not using Skype. Its great for work, its great for home, if you have friends or family (like I do) across the country, its great to be able to see their faces. Skype is my #1 fav.
  3. Even if you dont want to spend the time to learn how code works, you should still try and do as much of it as you can yourself. search the net for code snippets that can help you get started, then write the rest yourself, compile, run it and see how it works. If you have errors that you cant figure out, then come to us with that. You will learn a whole lot more that way. _ parker216 tech mod

    Best backup software ?

    Ahh, I see! In this case I would just use ACRONIS Backup & Recovery to back it up to another HDD or Flash, DVD, ect. Then reformat your original drive. I cant remember, but ACRONIS B&R 'may' have a quick reformat operation built in to the application itself, you just run it from a disk. Dont quote me on that because I may have it mixed up with something else. But, you can always use a W1ndoze disk to reformat after your data bakup. Then, you set you HDD up with an OS and your apps, then partition off a place on the HDD and put your backup data there, so you can map it to your various apps that would use that data. Thats what I would do, and in fact, usually have done in this case. P.S. - Word to the wise, back up and check that your data is readable BEFORE you format, 'cuz there aint no going back, buddy! Unless of course you make a Full Disk Image. Even then, I would check it out to be safe. Especially if that data is sensitive or important. _ parker216 tech mod
  5. WOW freak, Great Info!!!!!!! I agree with 99.9% of what you have posted! I am an Admin for my company, and I have fixed problems with a cleaner *ONLY* because a a dead register in the registry was somehow linked to another like a child/parent situation. I could have done that manually, and what you have added is correct. The only true way to clean a registry is to: A)make backups so you can write over the corrupt registry, or, B)reformat and lay a fresh copy of W1ndoze down. Once again, great information that many people should read. thanks for you post! _ parker216 tech mod

    noobroom.com

    well, hey dude, if there's no way to get into it or get an invite, then there's not much of anything that can be done. it sounds like its one those "to be one, ask one!" type of deals. you just have to keep asking folks you think might know. if someone here knows about it, then they arent talking. thats for sure. do some research on the website itself and see if there is a contact address for the webmaster. you can usually find this info out easily. _ parker216 tech mod

  11. Little Johhny's parents got a phone call from the lifeguard at the community pool. He stated that one of them must come and pick little johhny up right this moment! When Johhny's father asked why, the lifeguard responded, "He has urinated in the pool." The father laughed lightly and said, "Well hell, I'll bet you have urinated in the pool at least once in your life haven't you?" The lifeguard said, "Maybe, but not while standing on the highest diving board!!!!!". Johhny's father quickly went to pick him up.

    One Tough Woman

    An old cowboy walked into a whore house just outside of San Antonio, Texas. The Madam looked at him with a smile and said, "What's your pleasure, cowboy?" He looked at her and said, "I've been out riding the range for 6 months, and I need a stiff shot of whiskey and I want a mean, tough woman." The madam poured him a whiskey shot, and called out for a girl named Bertha. The cowboy looked at the girl and agreed that she would do, and asked for some beer in bottles. They get upstairs and immediately the girl gets undressed, and sticks her butt up in the air! The cowboy looked stunned at the sight of a butthole staring him in the face! He said, "Whoa, I didn't want anal sex!". She said "I iknow you idiot, I was hoping you would open a couple of those bottles of beer before we get started!".

    Best backup software ?

    I am going to assume that you mean back up all of the apps (and apps only) from your old computer. with that being said, I am going to offer you a list of products, then give you my personal favorites that are tried and tested by me. I am a systems/network administrator so I use these on a weekly basis, and I am very familiar with some of them. Best Backup Software Top 5 - per PC MAGAZINE 1. ACRONIS Backup & Recovery - (The Very Best In My Opinion) 2. GENIE Backup Manager 3. NTI Backup NOW - (Dont touch this with a 10 foot pole! Trust Me!!!) 4. Paragon Backup & Recovery 5. REBIT - (I Dont know anything about this software.) Top Disk Imaging Software 1. Acronis TrueImage 2. Norton Ghost 3. Paragon HardDisk Manager Suite FREEBIES 1. EASEUS 2. GoodSync 3. AllWay Sync Of all the Apps listed, my personal favorites are ACRONIS Backup & Recovery (APP Backup Software). For Imaging software, it's a tie between ACRONIS TrueImage and Paragon HardDisk Manager Suite. These Softwares will offer you the best in user easiness and capabilities. They are the 2 apps I use for the backup and disk imaging. You can find both of these here at CyberPhoenix by searching the Apps forum. Of course, you can also use the built-in W1nd0ws back-up manager. Usually, manufacturers will include a backup app when they ship the pc. Check your old pc to see if it has such app. NOTE: Once you have your new pc loaded with all of your apps, you should really think about using ACRONIS TrueImage to back-up your entire drive to a CD/DVD/HDD. It will save you a world of headaches later on, if or when you have to reformat because of viruses and malware. TRUST ME!!!!!! Good Luck! I hope this helps you! _ parker216 Tech Mod

    USB

    Go to this address: go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9775982 This is MS FixIt. It will scan your system and find (hopefully) the problem you have. Also you could go to 'Device Manager' and uninstall your usb. then reboot and let Windows install it automatically when it finds it.

    Problem With My Burner(Writer).

    @Half Monk, is this a new pc, or an existing pc? did you do any upgrades (hardware, or software) prior to the malfunction? Did you add anything to the pc? I know this might sound stupid of me, but have you checked its cable? do have another data cable you could use to do this with? also, check to see if it set to be the master or slave, if it is hooked up with another drive. since you have 2 HDD's, it could be worth a check. Let me know bro! _ parker216 tech mod

    Problem With My Burner(Writer).

    @Half Monk, have looked to see if it is being confused with something else trying to use the same resource? If the resources for the drive is being used by something else as well, it would cause intermittent use. Im going to lookup what resource your ROM is supposed to use, and maybe go from there????? To be honest bro, Im stumped, with everything else youve tried to do I cant think of too many other things it could be. I'll repost when I find something. _ parker216 tech mod
