    IE cannot open any Microsoft or Antivirus websites

    Initially the server had only 1 NIC but shortly after someone came in and added a 2nd NIC for internet access, coming thru from a DSL modem. Previous to this only 1 other computer on the network had Internet access, so i'm guessing that was the entry point. Don't know if a freshly...

    IE cannot open any Microsoft or Antivirus websites

    Thanks for the responses. Will be heading to this client tomorrow and will give the Malwarebytes a shot. Noticed the supported OS's don't list 2003 Server as an option but I will still try it anyways.

    IE cannot open any Microsoft or Antivirus websites

    Hi all, Here's my situation. I have a server running 2003 Small Biz Edition. It was freshly installed recently, without any latest updates. Another company ran an Internet line for us, connected it and left it connected over the weekend when they were instructed to leave it disconnect. So the...

    After Hal.dll missing/corrupt error...

    I'm going to get my hands on the CD that was used tomorrow hopefully. I wasn't around when the installation was being done (the client only called me in after this happened) so I'm not sure if they were using an original or copied version of Peachtree. Backup is available but whoever was...

    After Hal.dll missing/corrupt error...

    Hey all, I've got a Windows 2003 Server machine. Someone tried to install Peachtree on it, but was not successful due to an error they said which was insufficient priviledges or something along those lines. That was on a Friday. Monday now, users come back to work, all...

    Help identifying a program to create animations

    I'll have to mention that to him... swish does make sense in terms of what he was talking about, just can't understand why he went through the trouble of spelling Slash for me though. Thanks for mentioning that though.

    Help identifying a program to create animations

    That's the only Slash i'm familiar with myself! Looks like I'll have to wait until Thursday when I meet the guy again to find out more info about this. All I know is he said he used it when he worked in Venezuela and it was similar to Flash.

    Help identifying a program to create animations

    Someone was telling me about some software going by the name "Slash" that's supposedly used to make animations much like using flash. I've tried searching around for this "slash" without any luck... anyone ever came across this software or used it before? Am I making a typo or have I been...

    Help identifying a song

    There's this song playing on the radio a few times which I heard sampling the music from Billy Idol's 'Eyes without a face', guess it's a recent song since I've only heard it this month. Anyone knows the name of it? I've tried looking by the lyrics I know from it but can't seem to get...

    Printer to print individual business cards

    Hey thanks alot for mentioning that note about the cold lamination. I think the Dymo uses thermal paper so yup, laminating that would cause problems! I'll speak to the staff on Monday to find out what sort of lamination device they have. The tractor feed with one up labels sounds good too...

    Printer to print individual business cards

    Thanks for the ideas guys. The purpose for the cards isn't due to staff turnover though. It's a small private hospital who wants to print out cards for patients with stuff like their blood type, etc. They've got about 2000 of the pre-printed cards at the moment with their logo etc. on it...

    RAID 1 Problems

    I ended up putting an IDE drive into the server, and installing win2k3 server on it. I was then able to see the corrupted mirrored scsi drives in windows explorer, but their C: partition was totally inaccessible and the D: was not much better. I had some file recovery software which I'm...

    RAID 1 Problems

    Unfortunately this scenario really sucks since the people had this server as their DC with exchange running on it also, which is really not a good idea. On top of that... you guessed it... no backups! I'm just really scared to try removing one of the drives and putting it in another PC right...

    Help! Will this DVI Cable work on this Video Card?

    Thanks. A company has some 1905FP dell monitors that use these cables, and want to upgrade their video cards to the 7900GT model, so they wanted to ensure that the existing cables would work on the new cards. I'll see what else I can find.

    Ultrasonic Contact Lens Cleaner

    Just wondering if those of you who wear contact lenses ever tried using one of those little cleaners where you put in your lenses and solution and it uses waves/pulses to clean them. I've seen some selling on ebay and amazon but not many reviews on them. Curious as to if they work well and...

    Newegg taking a beating over on Reseller Ratings

    Have'nt heard anyone mention this yet but could it be that Newegg and UPS have some sorta deal where they agree on a certain price once they ship out x amt. of packages per week or per month, etc.? I always thought that's how they did it with FedEx before to offer such good shipping rates...

    Newegg taking a beating over on Reseller Ratings

    When they offered FedEx shipping only it was great, packages almost always arrived a day earlier and I never got a damaged box.... UPS on the other hand, packages almost always arrive in poor shape, thankfully no damage to the items inside but still seems like the package took a beating. I...

    Anyone willing to help me with some database normalization?

    I believe 3rd normal form is used to get rid of all attributes in a table that are not dependent on the primary key of that table. I know the definitions for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd normal forms but I can't get around to actually sorting out the data right :(

    Puerto Rico

    From my experiences, shipping with USPS is usually the same price as if you were shipping an item within the CONUS. With FedEx and the others however, they regard PR as an International shipment and thus charge more. I've had ebay sellers as well as AT members from the FS/FT section mail me...

    Please Check Upcoming System Buy - 1st Time Builder

    Sorry I did'nt realise the board had space for 4 sticks of RAM. In that case you should be ok with the 2x 512 sticks then. I was just wondering if a single 1gb stick would perform better than 2x 512 sticks... i'll look into that.

    Please Check Upcoming System Buy - 1st Time Builder

    I've never really done any photoshop or video editing on a pc before so I may not be able to give you a great reply... but IMO i'd probably look to either bump up the ram from 2x 512 sticks to possibly 2x 1GB sticks. I think that'll help out a bit when handling the editing you'll be doing.

    If I am not gaming do I need 2 Gigs of ram ?

    I'd go with the single 1GB also. 2GB sounds like overkill for what you want to do at the moment, but it's always good to cater for future upgrades and save yourself some money in the long run.

    Mangos are great!

    If they get too ripe it'll get too soft. Best way to do it is by touch... just squeeze it gently and if all around it feels slightly soft, you're in luck. They can be ripe/half ripe and still look green.

    Mangos are great!

    You can leave the skin on, and cut a face off from either side of the seed. Eat those 2 pieces similar to eating an orange. You can then peel off the skin from remaining part with the seed and have fun trying not to make some mess!

    Ever have UPS ship you an item from Dell?

    Ok for those who still don't understand! The fee I should have had to pay = $40.50 The fee I ended up having to pay = $81.00 Got the delivery today, lo and behold Dell's packing slip registers at 17.6 pounds, and UPS's tracking sticker says 18 pounds, a mere half of the 36 pounds I was...

    Ever have UPS ship you an item from Dell?

    Ok i'm sorry i dont think i explained it well earlier.. The 36 pounds i'm refering to means that i have to pay a fee for the laptop to be transported from USA to Trinidad, which is based on a per pound rating. So that means now I am paying 36 pounds * $2.25US instead of 18 pounds * $2.25US

    Ever have UPS ship you an item from Dell?

    The UPS tracking number I got from Dell showed the package weighing 17.6 pounds. When my skybox company accepted the package and weighed it, their scales said 16.3 KG which is almost 36 pounds. So basically it's either UPS or my skybox company that's wrong, the Operations Manager said the...

    Ever have UPS ship you an item from Dell?

    Ever have UPS ship you an item from Dell?

    The manager at the skybox co. told me UPS does'nt care how much it weighs cause Dell pays them well enough regardless of what the package weighs so they just put whatever figure for the weight they want. Sucks that they had to go with half of what it actually weighs! Oh well i'll be...

    Ever have UPS ship you an item from Dell?

    Long story short... I ordered a laptop from Dell and shipped it to my skybox address, UPS tracking said the total weight was 17.6 pounds. My skybox got it and weighed it at 16.3 KGs which is basically 36 pounds... double the weight. End result, i'm pissed cause now I have to pay twice...
