Hi guys... sorry I am asking a bunch of questions... if i reinstall windows... (because mine is screwed) ... do I have to save all my information somewhere else?! also, does reinstalling windows = formating it?... gosh , my pc is completely screwed...-- Cosmic girl 01:52, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
yes it is. but if your cd burner still works youre in luck. first burn all of your documents/crap to a cd. any pictures in your computer. most files that youll need will be saved to your desktop, my documents and its subdirectories. other such things you need will be any mp3s you have on your computer, and file sharing directories. i dont know what you use your comptuer for but think of all the things you use it for. next find the cds that came with your computer. restart it with the cds in your computer. you may have to change the boot order for it to load from the cd instead of your hard drive. im not going to get into all of that htough. yes this is called reformating your computer or reinstalling windows and will completely reformat your harddrive and install windows on it, fresh as the day you got your computer 24.193.235.5 03:22, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
I have ABSOLUTELY no clue what is 'reformating the hard disk' much less, how to do it =( . --

Also, if you go to a DOS window, you can type in FDISK to bring up the disk format utility. The same warning applies, however, as this will wipe the disk clean, so be sure you've saved anything you want, first. Be sure to view the current format first so you can use the same format (such as FAT32), when you reformat. StuRat 20:42, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Thank you guys =), I think I'll just go with the windows cd procedure, because I don't know how to open a DOS window... yeah...pathetic, I know. =) :p -- Cosmic girl 01:25, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
thanks a lot!!! =). I'll let u guys know how it all goes.-- Cosmic girl 19:15, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
If you format all disks and then reload Windows, no virus should be able to survive that. StuRat 06:21, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
Upto how many degrees do laptop users open and keep their laptop and use (on an average)? For example, you may say most of the users use their laptops having opened 135 degrees (distance between keyboard and monitor). Or you may say that the distance between monitor and keyboard is 120 degrees. like that.
hello, i apologize in advance for this question, as i know it will probably get no responses and is pretty long. i am a senior IS&T student at temple university, and i am regretting that i never studied abroad. my last semester is the coming spring and i only ahve 3 classes left. i am looking for a university that i could study abroad at that has classes that may be similar to these so i could try to sell it to the computer science department. i need these 3 classes:
330. network architectures: This course covers the operation of computer networks and internets. It provides the background to enable students to evaluate alternative approaches to client-server computing and n-tier software development. To accomplish this the course includes communications technology, computer network technology internetworking using the TCP/IP protocol suite, client-server protocols, client-server computing, network program component models as well as issues involving security, privacy, authentication, intellectual property rights, and social changes related to computer networking.
342 net app systems: The objective of this course is to provide further depth, beyond CIS 0309, into the development of network deployed systems. Its emphasis is on distributed, multi-tier architectures. The course is divided into 3 parts. First is the theory associated with protocols, architectures, middleware, and database transactions. These include such topics as HTTP, SOAP, DNA, Multi-tiered architecture, Web Services, .NET Framework, .NET Remoting ADO.NET and COM+. The second part is a deeper knowledge of the ASP.NET and VB.NET languages beyond CIS 0309. This would include (1) application system design, construction and packaging via .NET assemblies, server controls, and custom controls, (2) component and data distribution via COM+, XML, SOAP, Web Services and .NET Remoting, (3) database transactions via ADO.NET, and (4) report generation via Crystal Reports. The third part of the course is a project that the student will perform in the design and programming of a distributed application.
w381 information systems implimentation: This is a capstone course where teams of students implement the information system for which they developed specifications in CIS W281. The teams create the database, programs, procedures and documentations necessary for their project. Techniques of modular design, program development, testing and integration are employed. Emphasis is placed on writing documentations, oral presentations and project management.
i know these courses are very specific but perhaps any university with a wide variety of computer classes could find a match that is somewhat close. i know this is a pretty specific question, so even if you have a lead or know any good schools id be interested. some of the places id like to visit would be london, melbourne/sydney, rome, spain, japan. but i can only speak english : \ thanks 24.193.235.5 03:18, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
I was just trying to figure out what kind of bandwidth speeds would be required to make downloading movies as easy as downloading music is today. I could use some help.
My internet connection today is ~2.5Mbps. I know from experience that it takes me about a week or more to download an 8GB file (about the same size a dual layer DVD). To try to verify this I calculated that 2.5Mbps = 0.3MBps and 8GB = 8000MB. After simple division I get that it should take 7.5 hours to download that 8GB file with a 2.5Mbps connection. That's not what real world experience indicates.
What am I doing wrong?
I know right off the bat that I didn't take into consideration the upload speeds of the servers I'm tapping. How would I go about that?

I have my video in Vegas. Up until now, I've been rendering as .avi-Pal DV-"good" render quality... then I have been using Nero to burn this avi file as a DVD with their "make DVD-video" option.
I was just wondering, is .avi-Pal DV-"good" quality the best one to use if I want to burn as a DVD?

Good Morning,
I have a few questions,
1. How much peripheral can you connnect on one IDE channel?
2. In windows XP, when you view some pictures in the thumbnail view, windows creats a hidden file, my question is what is the extension of this hidden file.
3. What is OS X and on what type of computer is it used on?
4. What is the difference between a password protected file and a password encrypted file?
Thank you,
Hi, is there any software that I can use as an alternative to using Windows' Sound Recorder? If so, where can I download it from the net? THANKS Jon
(Im writing from India) In today's world, is offering fixed wireless service any cheaper than offering fully mobile service? If there are no differences between costs incurred by the operator offering these two technologies, why are still fixed wireless been marketed in India even today? Companies playing gimmicks here? Thanks
I have an error dialogue when I try to print. It mentions not being able to print to LPT1 port. Help me and thanks Debbie-----------
We also need to know if this printer and the corresponding printer driver software were previously installed and working on that computer. StuRat 19:55, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
If I SSH into a Unix computer and set an environment variable, and then export it, the variable only lasts for the duration of the SSH session. If I disconnect and connect again, the variable is gone. How can I set an environment variable that remains even after the SSH connection is closed? JIP | Talk 17:32, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
export
, of that shell's child processes). If you want a process created later (and not a child of your original shell) to get those settings, you need to put them into your .profile or .bashrc. If you specifically want later ssh sessions (when you reconnect at some later time) to have those same settings, the smartest idea is to use
GNU Screen - the first time create a screen session, set your environment variables, and when you're done you detatch from the session (ctrl-a d). Then you log out of ssh. Next time you ssh in, reattach to that same session (which has been persistently hanging around waiting for you) with screen -r

Talk 17:40, 26 August 2006 (UTC)I have a simple problem I'd feel stupid asking a real-life IT expert whom I'd have to pay to fix. I have Windows 98 on my computer, and recently installed ArcSoft PhotoStudio. Upon doing this, the colors on my screen have been lousy, and I fiddled around in the "display properties" settings, and now I have only a choice between 2 colors and 16 colors. Where can I get the 256-colour display back from? It doesn't give me that choice. Thanks, kind IT folks. -- Dangherous 20:13, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
