My PC works like dream when i do stuffs like surfing , watching movie etc but whenever i play any game it restarts after 20-25 min and keeps restarting with very soft beep (teep..) untill i switch it off for 15-20 min. i have cleaned the cabinet, reinstalled windows stil the probelm persists. all of my cpu fans are working 117.224.246.44 ( talk) 06:55, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
I just downloaded the Gimp Animation Package to use with Gimp, but I can't install it. The problem is that I cannot find the folder that's supposed to launch the setup (Gimp-GAP-2.6.0-Setup2.exe.). I downloaded the file from here, btw: ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/plug-ins/v2.6/gap/ 70.29.244.213 ( talk) 09:10, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

I am looking to purchase a smallish, portable laptop to take to class to take notes using, preferably the 2010 versions of, MS Word, Powerpoint and Adobe Reader. Would an old Mac with the following specs be ok? I will be transferring these notes from the PowerBook to my Windows 7 main PC laptop at home.
Apple Mac PowerBook 12" PowerPC G4, OSX 10.5.8, 1.33 GHz, 512 MB RAM, BUS Speed: 167 Mhz.

I'm sure you could make it work, but all of PPC, Mac, and hardware that old are asking for trouble. A similar vintage non-Apple computer for the same price will get you significantly more impressive hardware. ¦ Reisio ( talk) 14:16, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
thepeerage.com gives one of my pages as a reference. I suspect as a result that page gets a lot of hits. How can I tell how many, preferably using cPanelX? Kittybrewster ☎ 12:56, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
How can I gram frames of video, (no I don't need a programm that asks to specific frame) I want to have half of the frames of all frames.. I found a programm called Video to image converter, It provides me exatcly what I want. the bad thing is that It doesn't support Matroska files (mkv). (PS: I remember I had a program similar who supported mkv files, but I'm not having good results with google, I just don't type the right keywords) -- 190.60.93.218 ( talk) 14:23, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
I am at a library. The key to the right of : says " above ' but produces @, and the key that says @ produces ". Also, the key that produces my signature (~) gives me ¬ instead. The key that should give me | gives me ~. Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 14:42, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
You're computers are damaged? oh don't worry send them to me! If they're so useless for you! 190.60.93.218 ( talk) 19:50, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
I explored other options but they didn't work either. But it's a library and the control panel is off limits. Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 23:34, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
Whenever I download any PDF from an online source (which is like five times a day) instead of opening it saves and I have to go find it in the download folder and open it. I could swear it used to open without this extra step. I imagine it's a settings issue but I don't know if the setting is in my computer or the browser I use or the PDF program I run. I am on a Macmini running Snow Leopard I think. I have Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 and I use Firefox. Thanks.-- 108.14.197.46 ( talk) 19:50, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
How can I tell if this company is legit? Charter Global. They sent me a recruitment email and the job looks interesting but I do not want to get scammed. 68.232.119.30 ( talk) 21:33, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
Reply directly to charter Global, through their web page if you are interested. Also check past versions of their web-page through archive.org, that will get you an idea of the organization that they are. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.36.33.29 ( talk) 13:36, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
Hello!, under what circumstances does IE 9 prompt for websites to run ActiveX (assuming default security settings)? I have Flash installed, and that seems to run on any website without prompting. Yet when I go to http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/browser/activexfiltering/Default.html I am prompted "This webpage wants to run the following add-on: 'Windows Media Player' from 'Microsoft Corporation'". However, when I look at the list of installed add-ons, Windows Media Player is already there, installed and enabled, just like Flash, and even appears in the list of add-ons that can "run without permission". Why am I prompted in one case but not the other? What is the difference?
Furthermore, if a website wanted to run a brand new ActiveX that I did not even have installed, then what would happen? Presumably big red warnings and alarms? For fairly obvious reasons I do not want to seek out websites with unknown ActiveX content to test this...
I would be extremely grateful if anyone could shed any light on this. I cannot find any useful explanation in Microsoft help. 86.183.2.20 ( talk) 22:25, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
I have a Milwaukee Shockwave screwdriver and drill bit set, and I have a small screwdriver head stuck in the hex socket that fits into a drill chuck or screwdriver body - it seems to be locked in there, and I can't figure out how to remove it - any ideas? THanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.76.48.158 ( talk) 22:34, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
Hello, I'm using a custom word filter, and it uses Regular Expressions.
I'd like to filter out (match) "angst" regardless of type case, or if a 'y' is added after it to become 'angsty.' So that whether it is AnGsTyfjdL or anything else it will still get matched and filtered. Going to do this for a bunch of meaningless adhoms. Hopefully this example will be enough to teach me what I need for all of them. Thank you very much. -- 68.117.130.106 ( talk) 23:30, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
