    Software to locate what is taking up what on a drive?

    Part of the sysinternals suite and I never noticed. Thanks!

    Looking for a delete program.

    Deletion, if used in conjunction with defragmentation may help with performance. Secure deletion is more concerned with removing the ability to recover data, although I suppose you could argue that it helps for the above reason. Secure deletion (overwriting) is a time consuming and IO...

    New mouse pointers

    I'm using Windows 7 and would like something different, but that's simple and clean. I'm not looking for animated mermaids, cars, etc. I've never thought about this so I'm not sure where I can get clean new pointers from a non-junk website. Any suggestions?

    Except that in the US and a number of other countries, they'll simply hand over your info to the US government when requested.

    I checked the date and posted because other people may have this same question. Yes, years later. I've never understood people with this mentality. If you don't want people posting to years old information, don't allow it at the site level.

    USB Memory Encryption

    Truecrypt is able to be run from the flash drive as well as storing the volume on the flash drive. IIRC, the only requirement is an account with administrative priveleges.

    Stable AM3

    I'm not necessarily swearing off Gigabyte here, all manufacturers will have their issues. Nevertheless, this is the second mobo due to an RMA on the first (also for RAM and AHCI issues).

    Stable AM3

    Looking for a solid AM3 motherboard for which I'll be doing a bit of everything, including gaming. I have no intention of going crossfire in the foreseeable future. If possible, I'd also like a board that people can attest to higher RAM compatibility. I was considering this board although I...

    Bad processor?

    Part of the problem is that I don't know which stick is "good". Wouldn't a bad slot be consistently bad? tl;dr?

    Bad processor?

    I booted the machine with the RAM. 1333 MHz @ 1.66V (.02 increments) and timings at auto. Failed memtest around the same 2450 MB range. I then tried without any other drives or unnecessary devices and passed. Eventually got all the devices back to where they were and it continued to pass...

    Bad processor?

    Booted the machine this morning to a number of applications crashing and then taking the OS with it. A few reboots didn't fix this issue. Testing with both Memtest86+ 4.10 and 4.00, I see a large number of errors around 2300 to 2560 MB range. This is @ 1.6V at both 1333 MHz and 1600 MHz...

    Bad processor?

    Both sticks of A-Data RAM at 1.6V and good so far. I'll keep the thread updated if I continue to have issues (which I suspect I might). I understand that the SPD tab of CPU-Z should reveal what the manufacturer stamps as conservative possibilities. It seems strange that both the A-Data RAM...

    Good card for converting VHS tapes to digital.

    I now hardly anything about video encoding, but I believe S-Video only carries video. Maybe you intend to capture the audio from the audio outs on the back of the VCR.

    Bad processor?

    You know, iirc, the A-Data RAM is rated for 1600 but runs at 1333. When I looked into the BIOS, it wasn't possible to up the voltage to 1.6V. I believe the autodetection set it at 1.5V @ 1333 MHz. I also seem to remember not being able to go above 1.55V without the BIOS stopping me...

    Bad processor?

    All three sticks pass HCI Memtest when installed by themselves. I will continue to test the ram in various combinations. Are we still convinced it's solely a ram issue?

    Bad processor?

    Memtest HCI immediately revealed errors and so I took it down to the Samsung stick of RAM. I ran Memtest86+ 4.00 against this, also without errors. I then put it through HCI Memtest: Later, I'll try the other sticks of RAM, one by one, and post the results. This is the second set of A-Data...

    Computer build now or later?

    I'd like to build a new machine this summer or fall. Is there any other minor or major hardware advances going to happen this year? Is there anything that will likely significantly drive down the price of any components this year? I'm not asking for an all seeing eye, just informed people...

    Program to permutate possible password

    I don't know how long it is, I believe around 14 characters. I'm not sure you and I are talking about the same thing. If his password was "$h0ckr0d" and he knows that at least the string "$h0ck" is consistent in most of his passwords, this should significantly reduce the time needed to find...

    Program to permutate possible password

    I have a friend that has forgotten his password for a truecrypt volume he created. He remembers some of the password and I'd like to find a program that is able to permutate the string he has in memory and then output to a wordlist of some sort. I don't believe I mean permutation in the...

    Thanks Mike, but I believe both files are the same. I tried with both FDM (Free Download Manager) and without (firefox managed) and came up with: MD5: fd68be5180cfb7121a464a61baa4aaa6 for both files. I found a gui solution with TextWedge which works well for me as I can preview the...

    Split text to X characters *Resolved*

    I see now that my question wasn't well though out. I believe what I mean to say is that I want to paste text that may be over 1000 characters into a web-based text field that has a 1000 character limit. This is a ticketing system and to do over 1000 characters, I have to manually find the...

    Split text to X characters *Resolved*

    Not in my work environment, no. I currently use notepad++ to do quick checks where the cursor is. I've looked through the menus and haven't found what I'm looking for. I'll use gvim if I need to, although I'd appreciate a *nix friendly person giving me the commands to do this.
