Hey guys,I've been working on this for a while (and it's the reason I'm trying to get this web space), so any input will be highly appreciated.I'm trying to find a Flash program that will play hosted wma (or ogg) files. I've found some programs that will play mp3s, but quality cbr mp3s are too unweildy to stream on Myspace. I'm looking to use a flash program instead of just a media player plugin because I've had complaints that the music doesn't play. As far as I'm concerned, this is their problem and they should download the appropriate codecs/plugins (it's just wmp anyways), so if I can find a flash player I can embed in myspace, it will help regulate everything... and make everything look spiffier.Thanks.

I can field this. First off, you went the long way to get into the computer management section. 1. Go to control panel 2. Select Administrative tools 3. Select Computer management 4. Select Disk manager. 5. Find your disk. If your partition was corrupted, a way to repartition it is by deleting the corrupted partition (if it's necessary or possible) and then using disk manager (yes, by right clicking on the drive you're working on) and selecting New Partition. This will go through the processes of partitioning the thumb device. If there's anything that you can try to salvage, I suggest doing it first. If you can't, you can use a file recovery system. Afterwards, I suggest formatting the device. You can do this on Disk Manager (right next to Add New Paritition), or you can go through My Computer and format it by right clicking on the device, and selecting format.

Picking The Perfect Case Its not as easy as it seems...

The BTX standard is going to cause a lot of this to change, but I've found that once you're looking through compatable cases,, the most important thing to look is an intelligent designed structure. Having adequate space in the case is crucial, because it affects your ability to assemble the computer without putting too much stress on the componants by getting them into the case (and the case itself). Space and design are also the factors that determine how well heat will move in your case, if it will be trapped by the closeness of your componants. In fan-cooling systems, this is important because the only way to get heat out of the system is good airflow. In water-cooled systems, it's less important, but ambient heat coming from the system (the parts not being watercooled) still needs to be dissipated. A great feature you'll find on newer cases is that the cases themselves are much more modular. I happen to think that a modular design is the best feature to look for in a case. Some cases come now with removable motherboard trays, side-loading hard drive bays (IMHO, the greatest invention ever), and just about everything else for easy assembling/disassembling of the computer. I love those side-loading hard drive bays. I can remember when I destroyed a video card by removing a hard drive facing front-to-back, when I had difficulty removing the HD because of the cables and it collided with the video card... well you get the idea. This isn't a problem anymore. I found my perfect case, and It's the Koolance PC3-720. It's a bit underpowered in the watercooling department (alleviated by adding another pump), but the shape and design are so fantastic that it really made aseembling my computer very simple and fun.I'm not advocating Koolance, I'm just saying that the PC3-720 is a great example of intelligent case design. Hope this was helpful. -
THIS is an interesting concept. A rated forum where respect and intelligence gets you a web account? When I read about it, I had to join.I'll be looking around the forums to see what I can learn from them, I always try and make meaningful input, but this almost seems intimidating.Still looks like fun though.
