A small black box with the time in it is appearing on my Bravia when I use the PS3 on HDMI and the PS2 on component cables. I've looked through all the menus but I can't find where to deactivate this. Does any one with a Bravia know how to do this? Thanks. ArtistScientist ( talk) 02:47, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
So, I'm obviously on the internet now. I can use AIM, browse the web (i.e. Google, Wikipedia, facebook, pretty much all websites). But for some reason, there are certain things that just WILL NOT connect, and I get "check your internet connection" and "internet is not connected" messages from them. I can't get on the iTunes store, use my iWin Games Manager for anything other than games I've actually bought previously, MSN Messenger won't connect, and when I try to download the daily free game from GameHouse, it won't play either because it thinks I'm not connected to the internet. To clarify, other than these things, the internet works FINE! It's even fast! This stuff is getting really irritating, so if someone could tell me how to fix it, that would be great... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.1.198.239 ( talk) 04:44, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
Firefox. Always. Not sure what version, but I'm pretty sure it's whatever the latest happens to be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.1.198.239 ( talk) 05:03, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
[Preamble: I made a confused question about this back on 10 August, then had to use a different place; now am back with a clearer head.]
There's an ethernet cable in my office. If it's plugged directly into my computer, then when I come in and first turn on the computer, start up a browser and attempt to go anywhere, I'm greeted by a page for DHCP that asks me for my ID and password -- and after I've typed both in correctly I stay connected all day, or at least until the computer falls asleep and is reawoken. By contrast, if the ethernet cable is instead plugged into a wireless hub (router?), and the hub in turn connected to my computer, then after just a few minutes regular browsing becomes impossible: I'm instead served with the log-in page and must again type in my ID and password, which gives me a few minutes, until I'm instead served with (etc etc). Of course the whole point of the wireless hub is wireless and/or a second computer; but for diagnostic purposes I only have one computer (and no printer, etc) connected, and by wire. I don't see why my choice among the output jacks should matter, but I've tried two: each has the same irritation.
What setting of my hub might be relevant? Or if I were to buy a replacement hub, then which "feature" should I look for? -- Hoary ( talk) 06:47, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
Hello there, I am having trouble in performing "copy paste" thing in my vista OS. I can't copy or paste any single file within my OS. Even I can't drag or drop any file or folder. All started suddenly. Is there any possible way to fix it? Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you-- 182.160.98.36 ( talk) 14:04, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi. I'm having a (most likely, very basic) problem with graphing some data in Excel and wondered if someone could help. So I have the numbers 1, 2, ..., 20 in one column. I then generate the next column (which lists my x values) by multiplying all of these by 0.2, giving me 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, ..., 4.0. In the next three columns I have some data determined solely by the x appropriate x value being plugged into one of three equations (for those interested, I'm actually finding numerical solutions to a differential equation). I then want to plot the final three columns against my x values but every time I try to do this, without fail, the scale for the horizontal axis runs from 0 to 21 and I cannot fathom how to change it to run from 0 to 4. Any ideas? I'm running Excel 2004 for Mac if that helps. Thanks asyndeton talk 14:35, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
My computer screen is currently at 60 Hertz. It has the option to go to 75 Hertz. What's the difference? Might setting it higher make looking at the screen less headache inducing? 82.44.54.25 ( talk) 20:57, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
My connection to the internet is through a firewall. Whenever I try to download some big files ~50 MB, I get an error stating that the response to the HTTP GET request is above the limit. My guess is that the firewall's checking the file size from the response to the get and then disallowing the download. If that's the case, is it possible to circumvent the check ? 218.248.80.51 ( talk) 22:32, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I use Splitcam to play avis as a webcam. Do you know any open source apps doing this? 83.31.86.106 ( talk) 23:47, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
