Hi,
I recently installed half-life 1 on my computer... but it didn't run because it said: "your system reported only -3824k of physical memory. Half-life requires at least 16mb"... and i'm not too familiar with computers so i don't know what on earth it means... can some one help me? that would be great. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ireallyneedanewsn ( talk • contribs) 02:52, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
Er... considering i have 4 gigs of ram i probably have too much memory and it thinks its negative... but is there any way to circumvent that?
thank you very much ^_^ greatly appreciated. I just ended up buying it. 10.00$'s not too much to pay for a great game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ireallyneedanewsn ( talk • contribs) 03:35, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
Does Gnome have a KATE program? I need a text editor that can seamlessly open a file through SFTP (as though it is a local file) and display the file for editing with context highlighting. -- kainaw ™ 02:17, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
I have a laptop with windows xp and recently my hard drive started to fail. So I bought another hard drive and an enclosure that connects to the laptop with usb 2.0. I tried to use ez gig 2 to copy an image of my old hard drive into the new hard drive and the first attempt did not work because the software could not find one of the hard drives. So I goggled possible solutions and tried the one where the new hard drive is put into the laptop and the old hard drive is put into the enclosure. This time the software recognized both drives and formatted the new drive. About half way through copying the partitions the power went out in my house and since my laptop battery is messed up the laptop shut down in a couple of minutes. When I found out what happened I tried to restart the process but the software stopped recognizing one the hard drives. I think it has something to do with the other hard drive being a corrupted copy of my old hard drive. (for now I put my failing hard drive into my laptop) My laptop recognizes the new drive as a usb mass storage device and does not allow me to do any hard drive operations on it. Anyone know how this situation can be fixed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.171.16.131 ( talk) 06:26, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
Toby and I live in UK and both use Orange ISP; we each have our own orange username and password; we live 50 miles apart. We both upload files to my website (which I bought through domaindirect), using the same username and password. Or we did. Recently Toby has found he can’t do it. And I have noticed that when he has tried to upload a file (sometimes) it uploads file of size 0kb rather than 525kb. Then nobody can read them. On other occasions he is told the website is trying to connect him but it fails to do so. I am having no problems. We each have our own terrapin password. We have both reinstalled the latest Terrapin and reset to the same password. What else could we try? Kittybrewster ☎ 12:12, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
I would like to create a new partition on a computer's hard drive and install another operating system in it. But I want to make sure that if I make a mistake, or if I don't like the new operating system, I can reliably restore the hard drive to its previous state. Can someone recommend a free utility that can back up a disk drive partition to DVDs or an external drive? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.49.15.243 ( talk) 16:29, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
Recently, my son's computer was exposed to a virus. The computer pro had to remove and re-install everything. We just got it back, but now we can't figure out how to turn on the internet "tower" icon on the lower part of the screen (get it blinking) so that we can connect to the internet? Any help thanks.

When buying them directly at nic.ac they are quite expensive (£69 per year). I have heard that domain resellers are sometimes cheaper. Does anyone know of any cheap .ac resellers? Thanks, -- 217.227.118.94 ( talk) 21:02, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
ok, basicaly, i have a number of movies which format's are (according to Windows (XP)) just: 'Video Clip'. These dont go onto my iTunes (the latest one), which is very annoying, how do i get them to go onto my iTunes (and then my iPod)? thanks, -- 84.67.191.166 ( talk) 22:35, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
Which frequency range does the FCC regulate and is anything outside of that range able to be used without a license? -- Melab±1 ☎ 23:25, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
