Hello. Every week, according to my antivirus software's Full System Scan, I receive a few low-risk tracking cookies. I have installed the latest antivirus software. It has been two weeks this has been happening. I examined my Full System Scan results, finding that the last cookie's source was not disclosed. I searched my Interent History, discovering that I have not been on those websites or email addresses that the tracking cookies originated. As you might know, I am a registered member of Wikipedia. When I first registered, I knew that I must enable cookies to register. Is being a member of Wikipedia allowing tracking cookies in any way to be installed onto my computer? Is there any way to block these low-risk tracking cookies from installation? Thanks very much for your response. -- Mayfare 01:40, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

You will have to produce an mpeg4 video. Software to do this pis fairly thin on the ground, but there must be some around that will convert an mpeg2, or video to mpeg4. GB 10:37, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Help to set up my G4 Powerbook for wi fi much appreciated. Think it is ready for me to add an airport extreme card - but what software do I then need to connect to the web ? Currently use Orange France as my ISP. 90.27.174.30 10:58, 21 April 2007 (UTC)petitmichel

We want to create a website for our association. Want to know the procedures (Just how to proceed , amount, etc.,not the programing side) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sasthaanand ( talk • contribs) 11:23, 21 April 2007 (UTC).
Well, just to summarise I think on the previous answers, you need to decide on what your requirements are because there are various options.
Anyways, first you will need a host (where your website will physically be stored and other computers around the world will connect to) - and so you visit a host's website and it will list their various packages and options. Now the other key element is a domain name. On its own a host would have your website set up at an I.P. address like
http://192.???.???.?? - which is not ideal. But the good news is that most hosts help you with the domain name registration process - and then once a domain name gets registered to your organisation the host will also help forward the DNS servers to their webservers i.e. Joe Public will type in www.yourdomain.com --> which will connect to a DNS server --> who has been set to forward the web broswer to
http://192.???.???.?? (your webhost).
So typically you will want a host to do all this for you - so you have to do some shopping around, and you'll start to know what to look for - you'll find some hosts can only register domain names with certain extentions like .info and .com - and you might want a .org.
The other option as someone else mentioned is a free webserver, where typically they'll allocate you an address at
http://example.yahoo.com and they might have to put (sometimes discrete) banners on your site - (I can think of a few already: tripod.com geocities etc).
So to recap, you find a host that offers the package you want, you then go through the process of asking it for a certain domain name - all the good ones are taken, especially on the '.com' extension. So if the exact domain name is important you need to be prepared for that - you might have to go back to your collegues and say "sorry, we couldn't get georgebush.com" or "freetshirts.com" - and then you'll probably try "georgebush.tv" or "georgebush.info" or "georgebush.net" or "georgebush.biz" and so forth - until you've come up with something.
Then your host will probably take a day or so to let you know if they managed to reserve the domain name, and set it all up - then they'll send you your account details - and these are typically your account details for the server you're hosted on.
A few of the good hosts (e.g. startlogic.com among others) have a system where you can upload your own creations, or use their tools and templates to easily create your own if you have no experience and knowledge of html.
Typically you'll be paying an annual fee for the domain name (through your host).
And your host will charge you a monthly fee for the hosting services.< br/>
If you fail to pay your annual domain fee you will lose the domain.
I hope this has been of some help. One more thing: it may help to find a host from your country if it involves a foreign country domain name like co.uk or .net.us or .co.za and so forth - you'll find the major american hosts don't usually deal with those - but largely the American ones come in the cheapest and offer some nice packages.
Good luck.

I am inexpeirienced when it comes to computers and the internet, but i will try to explain best i can. We bought our computer windows xp home edition last year around july, we were not connected to the internet at the time but everything was going fine we played games listened to music etc, until early this year, one morning we went to turn the computer on and the screen remaind blac with a message suggesting we press "r" but nothing happened, eventually we had to reiniciate the computer, we lost all our data (photos,filmes,music etc.)but the computer was back to working again except we kept getting a message saying we had to connect to the internet.Unfortuanetly the time ran out and we were locked out again and in order to connect to the internet we had to reiniciate again which we did then we connected to the internet, our problem now is that games i played before with no problem now switch off at the monitor, ican hear the game running but the monitor goes into power save, this has also happened whilst my daughter has played games on line or is on her hotmail. what is causing this and is it fixable. (we are on a tight budget)could it have been caused by the reinisiating and do i maybe need to do it again. HELP PLEASE!!! im at a loss. 89.214.29.179 14:30, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
There are various components in your computer that work together to show you the final effect. So, for one thing your computer is set to boot up with a certain loading screen where it will do a memory test and detect which harddrives are connected to it - it sets the display and so on. Technically at this point, you could have no hard drive in your machine and no Windows XP installed - and your computer would still show something when it started up. In other words if you you ever get NOTHING when you turn your computer on then you can forget about hard drive problems because then either your monitor isn't working (or plugged in), or the computer itself isn't running properly.
But you said the worst it ever got was when it just said "press r" - so this indicates that the first few things are fine.
The next problem is the monitor itself. The cord that connects from the monitor to your PC could not be in properly, or it could be faulty and damaged inside the cord - but if it's a good, solid cord that is screwed in nicely and your computer works good for a few minutes before you have any problems - then it doesn't sound like a monitor problem at all - it sounds like the hard drive.
Before we move on to the hard drive, there's still a nother possibility: The graphics card. This technically counts as the "PC" not working properly - there's a card that's plugged into your mother board that your monitor plugs into. If the card isn't plugged in properly then you'd immediately get display propblems.
My point so far has been that it doesn't sound like you've got a monitor problem - up to a point. It seems your monitor is fine for your computer to turn on, boot up, and get into Windows.
So the next problem is the hard drive - which is where all the files and games and operating system are read from. If your hard drive fails completely your computer will boot up to a point where it will try look and detect which hard drives are connected and it simply won't find it. But hard drives usually don't fail completely. They normally work okay up but just have trouble reading some of the data on its disk.
Anyways,in your case you need to try figure out which is failing: the monitor or the hard drive? If you are playing a game and it stalls and the screen goes black - but you listen on your headphones and you can hear that the game is still continuing normally - and you look at your keyboard and you can put the CAPS LOCK button light on and off (or the NumLock light on and off) then it seems like the computer hasn't stalled - then the problem is with the monitor (or the monitor settings).
However, if the game stalls and the screen goes black but you hear no sound (or the sound is 'stuck') and the Caps Lock and Num Lock lights don't respond when you push them - then it seems like the computer has stalled. - this is usually because you have hard drive failure (the hard drive didn't read properly), or the Operating System crashed (it could be because there is an error in some of the files in the operating system or the operating system just can't handle whatever it was trying to do), or the game you were playing made the operating system crash and your computer stall.
So you can try different settings on the game (settings that make your computer work less hard), or you can read up the help files for that game to see if other people are having the same problem, or you stop playing the game, - or if it's not a game then you look at re-installing the operating system, and if you still have a problem then it's probably the hard drive, or the operating system is just not properly compatible with your PC.
To help you any further you're definitely going to have to provide more information please, such as what operating system you are running, when exactly does it show a message about having to connect to the internet, what games were crashing, and detailed explanations of all the errors.
Good luck

I am implementing a bit of AJAX into a page on a website where users can edit their own comments without reloading the page. The comments are arranged in a table, and each table row has a <div> with an edit link in it. The edit link has a parameter, 'onclick', which points to the JavaScript function 'editcomment(x)' where x is the comment ID. Clicking this link works fine, and the editcomment() function does some AJAX stuff and opens up a form for editing. When the 'Save' button in the form is clicked, it activates the 'savecomment(x)' function which gives the server the updated comment text and then replaces the original comment with the new one. However, this whole process can only be carried out once: once I've loaded the page, clicked on the edit button and saved a new comment, clicking on the edit button again does not work. Using Firebug I have found that JavaScript is apparently not finding the 'editcomment' function, dispite it being in the page header, and dispite it finding the 'editcomment' function the first time you click the edit button. Also, the edit button HTML is never changed by the AJAX process - the comment is within a <div> with a specific ID, and the save function edits only the content within it - the edit button is not within that div.
This is an abbreviated bit of the header code. The AJAX_Handler class is just a wrapper for different browsers' ways of handling AJAX.
var currentobject; var currentcontent; function editentry(object, edittype) { if (currentobject > 0 && currentobject != object) { // Another entry is being edited right now - restore its original value before doing anything else document.getElementById('entry' + currentobject).innerHTML = currentcontent; } if (currentobject == object) { // Current active entry has been clicked again - restore original value then cancel the AJAX edit process document.getElementById('entry' + object).innerHTML = currentcontent; currentobject = 0; } else { // No active AJAX edits detected - start a new AJAX edit currentobject = object; currentcontent = document.getElementById('entry' + object).innerHTML; xml = new AJAX_Handler(true); xml.onreadystatechange(editprocess); xml.send('comments.php', 'do=editentry&id=' + object + '&edittype=' + edittype); } } function saveentry(object) { artist = document.editentry.entryartist.value; song = document.editentry.entrysong.value; edittype = document.editentry.edittype.value; currentobject = object; xml = new AJAX_Handler(true); xml.onreadystatechange(editprocess); xml.send('comments.php', 'do=saveentry&comment=' + artist + '&listenid=' + object + '&edittype=' + edittype); } function editprocess() { if(xml.handler.readyState == 4 && xml.handler.status == 200 && xml.handler.responseText) { document.getElementById('entry' + currentobject).innerHTML = xml.handler.responseText; } }
Any ideas as to what this could be? Thanks. RevenDS 15:05, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
thanks for your advice before i tried adaware and it found numouros kinds of viruses but though it says they are removable i need to buy a different version of adaware to do so. Would reinciating the computer get rid of them? I also tried altering the resolution on my game but the monitor still went black after i started playing, and as for the monitor devices i am wary about messing as i dont really know what im looking for, if the drivers need updating is this something i can do over the net if so is it free, or are they something i need to buy from a computer shop, i hope i dont sound to stupid but i find it hard to understand what is what. thankyou for your help. 89.214.5.80 17:18, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi, thank you in advance for the help. I would like to know how to get project 64 on my computer, which roms to get and where to get them. after i do install it, how do i use it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.170.44.145 ( talk) 17:45, 21 April 2007 (UTC).
i know how to get it on the computer, but they say that they won't help with the roms, which is what i really need.
Say I have a desktop HP Pavillion with an integrated NVidia 6150 LE video card. There are no graphical outputs other than a DB9 connector. Say I have an older NVidia 440MX with a TV out and a free AGP slot. Can I put the 440MX card in the HP Pavillion to output to TV and the integrated video card to output to the monitor (Both being active, they can show the exact same things or be actually dual monitor setup. The TV out is only for video.)? Thanks, as I have 0 knowledge about dual monitors. -- Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント ( talk) 17:47, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm looking for a way to get access to my iTunes (or other digital music) library on my physical stereo. Apple's Airport Express base station and AirTunes is one solution.
However, if Apple can sell a combination WiFi base station/audio extender for ~£60, surely someone sells something that just provides the audio extension functionality for less than this?
It doesn't have to work with iTunes; WMP / WMCE or even a standalone program are options.
I've looked, but haven't had any luck. Any ideas?

Hi, I tried to sign onto a forum today but it won't let me as I apparently have multiple IP addresses, news to me. It says "Our server has detected the presence of multiple IP connections from your machine, with one of the connections being an "Open Proxy" or blacklisted IP. Connections of this nature are often used in order to abuse, spam or defraud. Our server has denied you any further access until both IP addresses can be resolved or the presence of the Open Proxy connection closed. If you feel you are being blocked in error, then please visit http://www.spamhaus.org/xbl/index.lasso for information on why your IP is on a blacklist. If you are a Fastweb user, then you will need to use a different ISP to register with AVForums. This is because Fastweb have an irresponsible attitude towards dealing with spammers (i.e. they don't) and they therefore have got themselves on the IP blacklists." I checked the site they list but it doesn't tell me anything. Can someone advise me of how to fix this, as I don't have a clue. I'm using windows XP and have virgin as a broadband provider. Thanks.

How do I type onto a PDF file? 68.193.147.179 22:44, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Seems like the other people aren't answering your question. As far as I know it is possible to make PDF files where it will automatically allow you to type something in - but I haven't encountered these in ages - if they exist. To be able to type over a PDF document that would involve editing the document - which is something you're not supposed to do with a PDF format - it's one of its features. However, if you load the PDF file into the program that generated it (eg Corel Draw, Photoshop, Freehand etc) it is usually able to import an editable version of it. So you could try an image-editing program such as those ones - but there's always a 50% chance they won't be able to import the file.
One Solution: One thing you can try is opening the PDF, and
Right, all these methods involve getting an IMAGE from the PDF document, which you have a higher chance of being able to edit. Then import it into your image editor (even PaintBrush is worth a try) and you can then try typing over the image.
Good luck, and I hope this helps.

How do I take a YouTube video and put it onto my iPod Video? 68.193.147.179 22:45, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Is there any particular reason that anyone can think of as to why a disc drive would play cds fine and play some dvd's fine whilst not playing others. Some dvds when put in, just lead to a kind of clicking sound for a minute or so then just stop and seemingly arent recognised at whilst other dvds start straigt away (all dvds are same region by the way). I cant think of a reason why some would play and others not. Any thoughts would be appeciated. Rickystrapp 23:01, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
At the school I go to there are hundreds of computers with really fast Internet connections in this one building. What type of internet service is this? Im assuming its very different from a cable or dsl connection like I would have in my apartment. How is it split up among all the computers so that they all have fast connections? Can one computer take up the entire bandwidth possible or is it partitioned in some way? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Iownatv ( talk • contribs) 23:42, 21 April 2007 (UTC).
I just downloaded Winamp and installed it on my PC, and as part of the download, I am entitled to 50 free music downloads from eMusic. But in order to get those downloads, I have to sign up for eMusic, which will bill me after my 50 downloads for any further downloads, unless I explicitly unsubscribe. My question is, has anybody had any dealings with eMusic? If I unsubscribe, will the songs I download no longer work? Corvus cornix 00:05, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Also, the edit button HTML is never changed by the AJAX process - the comment is within a <div> with a specific ID, and the save function edits only the content within it - the edit button is not within that div.
This is an abbreviated bit of the header code. The AJAX_Handler class is just a wrapper for different browsers' ways of handling AJAX.
var currentobject; var currentcontent; function editentry(object, edittype) { if (currentobject > 0 && currentobject != object) { // Another entry is being edited right now - restore its original value before doing anything else document.getElementById('entry' + currentobject).innerHTML = currentcontent; } if (currentobject == object) { // Current active entry has been clicked again - restore original value then cancel the AJAX edit process document.getElementById('entry' + object).innerHTML = currentcontent; currentobject = 0; } else { // No active AJAX edits detected - start a new AJAX edit currentobject = object; currentcontent = document.getElementById('entry' + object).innerHTML; xml = new AJAX_Handler(true); xml.onreadystatechange(editprocess); xml.send('comments.php', 'do=editentry&id=' + object + '&edittype=' + edittype); } } function saveentry(object) { artist = document.editentry.entryartist.value; song = document.editentry.entrysong.value; edittype = document.editentry.edittype.value; currentobject = object; xml = new AJAX_Handler(true); xml.onreadystatechange(editprocess); xml.send('comments.php', 'do=saveentry&comment=' + artist + '&listenid=' + object + '&edittype=' + edittype); } function editprocess() { if(xml.handler.readyState == 4 && xml.handler.status == 200 && xml.handler.responseText) { document.getElementById('entry' + currentobject).innerHTML = xml.handler.responseText; } }
Any ideas as to what this could be? Thanks. RevenDS 15:05, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
thanks for your advice before i tried adaware and it found numouros kinds of viruses but though it says they are removable i need to buy a different version of adaware to do so. Would reinciating the computer get rid of them? I also tried altering the resolution on my game but the monitor still went black after i started playing, and as for the monitor devices i am wary about messing as i dont really know what im looking for, if the drivers need updating is this something i can do over the net if so is it free, or are they something i need to buy from a computer shop, i hope i dont sound to stupid but i find it hard to understand what is what. thankyou for your help. 89.214.5.80 17:18, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi, thank you in advance for the help. I would like to know how to get project 64 on my computer, which roms to get and where to get them. after i do install it, how do i use it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.170.44.145 ( talk) 17:45, 21 April 2007 (UTC).
i know how to get it on the computer, but they say that they won't help with the roms, which is what i really need.
Say I have a desktop HP Pavillion with an integrated NVidia 6150 LE video card. There are no graphical outputs other than a DB9 connector. Say I have an older NVidia 440MX with a TV out and a free AGP slot. Can I put the 440MX card in the HP Pavillion to output to TV and the integrated video card to output to the monitor (Both being active, they can show the exact same things or be actually dual monitor setup. The TV out is only for video.)? Thanks, as I have 0 knowledge about dual monitors. -- Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント ( talk) 17:47, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm looking for a way to get access to my iTunes (or other digital music) library on my physical stereo. Apple's Airport Express base station and AirTunes is one solution.
However, if Apple can sell a combination WiFi base station/audio extender for ~£60, surely someone sells something that just provides the audio extension functionality for less than this?
It doesn't have to work with iTunes; WMP / WMCE or even a standalone program are options.
I've looked, but haven't had any luck. Any ideas?

Where can I find a list of character based mood icons such as "=))" and ";)", etc.? 71.100.8.252 21:02, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I tried to sign onto a forum today but it won't let me as I apparently have multiple IP addresses, news to me. It says "Our server has detected the presence of multiple IP connections from your machine, with one of the connections being an "Open Proxy" or blacklisted IP. Connections of this nature are often used in order to abuse, spam or defraud. Our server has denied you any further access until both IP addresses can be resolved or the presence of the Open Proxy connection closed. If you feel you are being blocked in error, then please visit http://www.spamhaus.org/xbl/index.lasso for information on why your IP is on a blacklist. If you are a Fastweb user, then you will need to use a different ISP to register with AVForums. This is because Fastweb have an irresponsible attitude towards dealing with spammers (i.e. they don't) and they therefore have got themselves on the IP blacklists." I checked the site they list but it doesn't tell me anything. Can someone advise me of how to fix this, as I don't have a clue. I'm using windows XP and have virgin as a broadband provider. Thanks.

How do I type onto a PDF file? 68.193.147.179 22:44, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Seems like the other people aren't answering your question. As far as I know it is possible to make PDF files where it will automatically allow you to type something in - but I haven't encountered these in ages - if they exist. To be able to type over a PDF document that would involve editing the document - which is something you're not supposed to do with a PDF format - it's one of its features. However, if you load the PDF file into the program that generated it (eg Corel Draw, Photoshop, Freehand etc) it is usually able to import an editable version of it. So you could try an image-editing program such as those ones - but there's always a 50% chance they won't be able to import the file.
One Solution: One thing you can try is opening the PDF, and
Right, all these methods involve getting an IMAGE from the PDF document, which you have a higher chance of being able to edit. Then import it into your image editor (even PaintBrush is worth a try) and you can then try typing over the image.
Good luck, and I hope this helps.

How do I take a YouTube video and put it onto my iPod Video? 68.193.147.179 22:45, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Is there any particular reason that anyone can think of as to why a disc drive would play cds fine and play some dvd's fine whilst not playing others. Some dvds when put in, just lead to a kind of clicking sound for a minute or so then just stop and seemingly arent recognised at whilst other dvds start straigt away (all dvds are same region by the way). I cant think of a reason why some would play and others not. Any thoughts would be appeciated. Rickystrapp 23:01, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
At the school I go to there are hundreds of computers with really fast Internet connections in this one building. What type of internet service is this? Im assuming its very different from a cable or dsl connection like I would have in my apartment. How is it split up among all the computers so that they all have fast connections? Can one computer take up the entire bandwidth possible or is it partitioned in some way? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Iownatv ( talk • contribs) 23:42, 21 April 2007 (UTC).
I just downloaded Winamp and installed it on my PC, and as part of the download, I am entitled to 50 free music downloads from eMusic. But in order to get those downloads, I have to sign up for eMusic, which will bill me after my 50 downloads for any further downloads, unless I explicitly unsubscribe. My question is, has anybody had any dealings with eMusic? If I unsubscribe, will the songs I download no longer work? Corvus cornix 00:05, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
