How come when I use FireFox, and have en.wikipedia.org in the allow list, it still blocks popups from Wikipedia? And the funnier thing is that I've had this problem before, the I turned popup blocker off. It's blocking popups when I disabled popup blocking. (And no, it's not a toolbar blocker or anything. It's firefox's blocker). --( Review Me) R Parlate Contribs @ (Let's Go Yankees!) 01:32, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
The very first "splash" screen for Windows Vista with the moving progress bar is misaligned on my monitor. It doesn't affect anything else, more of a cosmetic problem, but any ideas what I could do to fix it? Everything else is fine and I've tried the auto-align button on the monitor (Gateway 21-in LCD widescreen). Thanks 68.39.175.57 04:12, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
My problem is that whenever I start a 16-bit DOS based application on Windows XP the OS starts up the NT Virtual DOS Monitor (NTVDM) and the CPU usage of my system shoots upto 100%. Thus the system becomes very-very slow. Can anybody explain this??
Would there be a way for Windows to be installed onto a cd-rw (or at least copied onto one) and be able to access AND write to that cd-rw? Like running a cd packet writing software from inside the windows install that would enable windows to write to the cd disk? Think outside the box 12:05, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
My wife wants to back up her photos to DVD. I showed her how with the Finder but it's not easy enough. She just wants something that she can drag and drop a bunch of files into and it will start burning to a DVD. When it has filled up that DVD, it will ask for the next and so on until it's done. We don't need to make movies or anything fancy. Just something that makes backups of data. That's it. So, can I get some recommendations for some software for this? FYI, it's a PowerMac desktop model. Dismas| (talk) 14:09, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
Is it possible for a 4 GB file to be compressed to a little over an MB? I'm asking 'coz I got this file by email, which when uncompressed, takes up as much as 4 GB space. The file is of .mdf type, and the compression used is RAR. Thanks for any info on this.-- Seraphiel 15:01, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
I've recently discovered that, despite the troublesome nature of Pdfs, there are many people who claim to have created software to convert PDF documents to Microsoft Word documents. I'm seeking such a tool that I could run automatically from a program I'm writing, so it would have to offer a command-line interface, or -- better yet -- a programming API. Can anyone suggest software along these lines of high quality? I can spend up to $500. In any case, there should eventually be some comment in the PDF article about the possibility of conversion, and how good a conversion you can get. -- Ryguasu 17:29, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
in jsp when we want to go from one page to another page after fulfilling certain conditions we use forward() or send Redirect() function in our code, what are functions are used in case of php when we want to go from one page to another page?
I'm currently writing a copyright report for a certain college project, and I'm interested to know what, if any, copyright applies to the Verdana font. Any help will be much appreciated, cheers. 81.77.170.61 21:58, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
I'm wondering what software do steel mills worldwide typically use for the operations planning systems? Or does it appear to mainly be done in house with their language of choice? Thanks. Mathmo Talk 22:27, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello. In the system tray (lower right corner with the clock on Windows XP), my modem shows the following message whenever I turn it on:
I clicked the message and tried to repair the connection. Windows unsuccessfully tries to renew my IP address. However, my Internet is fine. Should I be concerned? -- Mayfare 23:56, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
