nope doesn't work for me... Windows 7 - MS Word 2010
when ever i try open a new window it opens a blank window...

Huh? It works on my office 2003, I will try later on my Office 2010 machine. By the way, I told "new window", not "new document"

Open your document.Click Window, new window.It will open your document in another window.I constantly have at least three instances of the same document in three different windows, because I have several themes on the same subject : what has to be done, how to do it, tips concerning this, which part is currently beeing executed, and mails which are currently being written.

don't quite get what you mean by read-most, are you referring to gaming and stuff like that? I think at least an SSD for the System partitions... faster loading time i guess...
they still are quite pricey though

That's the main problem. The SSD disks have bad lifetime data, they are dead after about 10000 write/erase cycles. This means that they should not be used as system disk, because a system disk constantly writes/removes logfiles and other data.

hehe i think all of us would love to have that too plus a couple or so of 250GB SSD

Not sure I will buy SSD disks. I think these disks are read-most, and on my computer I often add-modify-delete files.

Maybe for compatibility reasons. I unplug my printer from my desktop PC, and plug it to my laptop. If I should change the standard cable to microUSB clable, would be difficult. And which micro-usb cable? My camara does not have the same plug as my phone, which is different from my GPS one. My three cameras have three different USB cables. Same thing with my two GSM phones. Only the big cable pc-to-device is standard today.

ok so which AMD cpu are you referring to? because at the moment the 3rd gen i7 will out perform the latest offering from AMD

I agree, if I had a lot of money, a 8-cpu i7 would be my better choice, with at least 16 gigs memory.

You need to know if it's due to your hardware or to a Windows XP problem.What happens if you boot off a bootable CD or floppy ?

By the way, if you are comparing current processors, shouldn't you look at the i7 istead of the i5?

Not to troll, but you misspelt the short form of the Soviet Union. It's "USSR" not "URSS". And the act of prejudice against Jews is not Antisemists. It's "Anti-Semites". Just saying.

Please be kind with other forummers. It's named "URSS" in a lot of countries, don't be angry about that.

I often used RedHat on systems with several ethernet boards, never had problems. I expect Fedora to also have not problem, provided that each adapter has a working driver.

Hi, xiaofan, welcome aboard.

Have a look here : http://forums.mate-desktop.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=175

Looks like same problem I just found -mate-settings-daemon is not launching properly in daemon mode.

edit /etc/xdg/autostart/mate-settings-daemon.desktop
Change
Code: Select all Exec=/usr/bin/mate-settings-daemon
to
Code: Select all Exec=bash -c "/usr/bin/mate-settings-daemon --no-daemon &"

Take care. After three years, an elecro-mechanical device starts being old. So, be careful with your text and photo files, often backup them on a removable media or on another computer.

This reorganizing job is the most urgent job to be done. The worst situation for a disk actuator/head is to have to simultaneously handle big files (which means sequential access) and small files (which means random access).And when the reorganization will be finished, this will ease the backup job : frequently backup smal text and picture files from one partition, and almost never backup the huge files from the other partition.Same thing from the defrag, no defrag needed on the big files because written once on their disk, frequent fast defrag for the short files partition.

The main increase will arrive if you have to re-format your new partitions.The main performance increase will come from your disk usage organization. For instance, let's say you put all your movies on the same partition, the data will not be scattered due to the presence of small files preventing from finding large free space. Moreover, if you frequently remove all the movies you don't need, you will be able to format again a given partition, which will increase the read/write on the freshly formatted partition.Same things from the defrag point of view. While you defrag your small text files partition, the process will not have to handle the large files from the other partition.

That has probably been explained when you purchased your T35 hosting? Should be a rather direct link, you should have nothing more to do. If it still does not work, you should open a ticket to the T35 support.

Clearly and audio device problem.
These people http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ claim that they have the solution.

Seems that the problem is solved. Can you confirm?

Strange behaviour.Here http://www.legionhardware.com/articles_pages/amd_radeon_hd_7870_and_radeon_hd_7850,5.html they tested it, it seems to work at a reasonable rate.

You probably did not start the apache server.

i have an iPhone 4 and have been advised not to leave it plugged on wall once it is fully charged... but i think as you say it shouldn't be much of a problem because phone should be smart enough to handle it

The battery is "before" the phone smartness, the phone can act after the battery, but not on the DC inlet.
The best thing is to carefully read the documentation provided with the phone, and do as recommended.
Unfortunately, this will influence only the end of life of the battery, so you will see the result of your acctions next year only.

i usually make a copy of my Windows DVDs as backup

I know, and each time you do that, you check with Crosoft how much money they want in order to allow you doing that.

OK, no problem, you are right in the center of the spot.I guess that you don't need to keep each movie on your hard drive, after some time you will run out of space, so probably you remove the movie as soon as you have finished watching the movie.This creates fragmentation : when you remove a movie, it leaves a hole. The next movie cannot go in the empty space because it does not have the same size. If you create a text file, it will take place at a random place. If you edit this file the next day, the wordprocessor will create a temporary copy for automatic saving on a periodical basis; when you exit, all the data are written on the original text file and the temporary copy is removed; if there is not enough contiguous space for storing the new text, the text will be splitted in two parts of the disk : the first part storing the beginning of the text, and ending with a redirection to the disk space where the send part is.The philosophy of all this is, that you should from time to time (e.g. on a monthly basis) have a look at the fragmentation state of your disk : how much fragmentation you have (10% or 70 %?) and the way the data are scattered on the disk : everything packed at the beginning of the disk for faster access, or a lot of holes everywhere? If the fragmentation ratio is high and the data are scattered everywhere, you should perform a defrag. The first defrag will last a lot of time, the next ones will be far shorter if you defrag frequently.And you will see a big difference on the disk-to-disk tasks as well as on the standard usage.

hmmmmm............
I was thinking that making an image of a DVD I paid for, for the sole purpose of installing onto my own system can never be illegal...

You buy one DVD for installing on one system.
If you want a spare copy, you ask Microsoft a spare copy.

What common computer process would fall into this category?

We should define what "common" means.
What do you do with your computer? What kind of files are flling your big hard disk, and which process created them? Do you watch on your computer the movies you made using your camera? Or do you create pictures using a graphic pad?
