Would a site like [1] be aviliable in Qatar. (I read about internet there, but not sure about a site.) 24.10.79.27 00:53, 25 April 2007 (UTC) ( User:Teak the Kiwi on IP)
I want to use a Wi-Fi service but my Mbps for my network is too high and I want to change it to 1 or 2. How can I do this? Thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.189.57.235 ( talk) 01:44, 25 April 2007 (UTC).
Im trying to limit it so I can make it enough amount for my Nintendo DS to procees for Wi-Fi. Right now my Mpbs is 54.0 and I was told to change my Mpbs to either 1 or 2 or 1-2 or something but I dont know how to change the settings can someone PLEASE explain to me how? The router is built-in the laptop not wireless
Well this is what was said at nintendowifi.com:
"The Nintendo DS has a transmission rate of 1 to 2 mbps (megabits per second). Most routers transmit at a much higher rate, but are able to adjust for devices that transmit at a slower rate. Your router may have this as a setting that might need to be adjusted.
Look through your router settings for anything that indicates transmission rates. If the router is set to accept high transmission rates only, this will need to be changed to accept all, or for some routers, changed to specifically accept the 1 to 2 mbps range."
I just want to know exactly where do I go to adjust the settings to a suitable transmission rate.Where do I find the router settings? The router is BUILT IN the laptop by the way. Do I have to go to the Control Panel or something?Thanks
I use Word 2004 at work, and for whatever reason, it will crash on me every so often. The only pattern there seems to be to it is that it usually crashes when I try to save or print, but it's random as to when it crashes. Sometimes it'll work happily for days at a time without crashing, other times it'll crash multiple times in one day.
I'm using an iMac G5 1.6Ghz with 512MiB of RAM running Mac OS X Tiger (either 10.4.8 or 10.4.9, I think). Can anyone explain why Word keeps crashing on me? -- Lumina83 02:16, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
My current computer is frustratingly slow, and I want to get another one eventually. I'm looking to use either Ubuntu or Mac OS X, as Windows Vista doesn't appeal all that much to me.
I mainly use the computer for web browsing & email, playing music, viewing pictures & videos, and playing the odd freeware/old DOS game. Also, I mainly prefer to use freeware and/or open source software.
I don't want to buy a computer that's overkill for my needs, but I also don't want a computer that'll be slow and laggy like my current one is. Any recommendations? -- Lumina83 02:16, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
I recommend making your own computer from parts (newegg.com is the cheapest and most reliable source i've found), as it is much cheaper, and allows you to have much more control. From the sounds of it, you don't need much, so you should be able to go fairly cheap. The laginess from your current computer sounds like it's to do with multitasking, so go with 512MB of RAM and a multicore processor, such as the Core2Duo. a 1.8GHz C2D is probably suitable for your needs. You probably don't even need a graphics card unless you want to mess around with Compiz and Beryl (the former is very much worth it, the latter i've heard good things about), so go with something low end, like a GeForce 5200. As the person above me said, never buy an ATI gpu for Ubuntu, or linux in general. Their driver support WILL make you cry. If you need help, check the contacts info on my user page, i'll be happy to chat about it with yah -- Phoeba Wright OBJECTION! 06:37, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
A small note: ATI and Linux are happy again. I finally got everything working and open source on my 4 year old Radeon 9200! Something to do with AMD being so desperate. -- Zeizmic 13:23, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Whenever I try to watch any of the CBS videos at http://www.cbs.com/innertube/, nothing comes up. My PC won't play the videos, and in fact, my DSL modem drops my Internet connection and I have to cycle my modem and turn off my PC in order to get my connection back. I'm running IE 7 on an NVIDIA HP 19 inch GeForce 6150 LE. I'm running Windows XP on a Compaq Presario AMD Athlon 64 3800+, 986 MHZ. Corvus cornix 03:31, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
SCGT seems to run into issues every time I try to start it. To start, can anyone confirm that it is compatible with XP? Guroadrunner 06:37, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi again. This is regarding your question ". Is the error a bluescreen or some other error? DDR and SDRAM are specific types of RAM. --h2g2bob 13:13, 24 I do not know the color. What appears on the screen is generally white letter print in black and white monitor. When i see that i immediately reset computer, click del tab and set up. I also try fixing the thick belt like that connects the parts inside my computer and some wiring then goes perfect. Windows XP will appear. I just hate to see DDR SDRAM at DIMM(s):1 that sometimes appear. It makes me freak out because i do not know if i will replace my memory or bear with it. You know i can't call technician or whosoever beacuse of my long hours in work and I am just living alone. Reason why i depend on you answer guys so i will not be fooled by any computer knowledge person. Follow up question: Can i use the memory in my compaq Pc to replace my athlon PC? Thanks guys!

Distress call! Suddenly yesterday, my Windows XP computer could no longer reach Google. It doesn't even get ping responses, but I can reach the map and news sites and similar. The hosts file seems to be in good shape, the firewall is deactivated and my other computer has no problems. I am most grateful for ideas. — Bromskloss 08:04, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Is there some kind of program (for Windows, Im not asking for some exotic bash scripts) that can move all files from subfolders to its folder. Example:
Books Book001 Book001.opf Book001.prc Book001.nfo Book002 Book002.opf Book002.prc Book002.nfo
I would like to move all .opf, .prc and .nfo files to the "Books" directory. Actually, I need only .prc files but anything better than manually visiting each folder to grab its .prc file would be nice. Of course, Books directory usually has a lot of subdirectories.

Wikipedia is the largest singular work in the English language, as well as in Esperanto. Does anyone know what other languages it could hold this title? A reporter is wanting this info for their article. -- Zanimum 13:27, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Is there a program similar to Google Maps that can enable me to print a map showing a route through various cities? Ipmin 18:04, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
When I boot my computer, programs come up, how do I stop this from happening? 68.193.147.179 19:14, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm setting up a Liferay site. My browser refuses to save passwords for it; I can see the passwords in the Firefox preferences dialog, and it remembers the usernames I've entered (I get a drop-down when I click the username field), but it won't fill the password field. I recently went from Liferay 4.1 to 4.2.1, if that makes a difference. grendel| khan 19:20, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
How do you add a shadow effect to screenshots? 68.193.147.179 20:29, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
What is a popular and high resolution paid screen shot software? - 68.193.147.179 20:32, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
How do you get an image into the best resolution? - 68.193.147.179 20:34, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
You typically want to set it to 100% zoom level. You definitely don't want less than 100%, but there are cases where you would want more. If your screen is at it's resolution limit (say it's set to 1600x1200 pixels), you might want to go with 200% zoom, especially if your pic is small. You could also go with 300%, 400%, etc., but always stick with a multiple of 100%. If you have a program which can do pixel interpolation, then go with the highest zoom level you can get.
