Meh, that's ok, I don't use seamonkey anyways.It looks like I may have to put off the puppy linux usage for a bit: on Thursday, my computer became infected with a host of malware, so I've been dedicating most of my time to cleaning that. (Ironically, since becomming infected, my computer has not received a single BSOD, other than one due to the fact that one of my virus scanners had quarantined Winlogon.exe previous to a reboot.)

Could a segfault possibly be caused from hardware as well? I remeber seeing one last night while trying to install F-prot throught pupget, although I regret to say that I didn't copy it down (I found out that my bios supports booting from usb devices, so I put a 512mb card into my card reader, and installed puppy linux onto that.)

Well, anyhow, I'm all booted up into Puppy linux. I looked through my dmesg right after booting up, and a few things caught my eyes: Those two lines weren't next to each other, they were just the only lines out of my dmesg that seemed interesting. I don't know what they mean, but if anyone's interested, I'll attach my full dmesg log (Thanks for looking through it, if you do.) admin.php So now what? Do I just run puppy linux for a few days, and see what happens?

Hi everyone.I'm running an Ubuntu 10.04 (Mint 9) machine, on my computer with a wireless Atheros card (which should be running at G speeds right now), on my Linksys WRT54G router, with DD-WRT installed. The connection is unsecured, running on Channel 10.My question is; is there any possible way to improve the speed between that ubuntu box, and people outside of my network?I'm hosting a gameserver on my network, and I'd like to be able to get the most out of it. It seems like my network card, or ubuntu configuration may be the chocking point here.Wireless reception, by the way, is generally > 90%. The connection only has to travel through a small piece of drywall before it gets to the router.

Wouldn't windows tell me up front in device manager if there was an IRQL conflict?

The BSODs I've written down: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT STOP 0X01AC0000 (0x00001128, ...) Memory dumped. DRIVER_IRQL_IS_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL STOP 0x0000000D1 Memory dumped. The most recent error recovery info: (The specified "dir" directory or file was missing when I looked for it ) Also, the unusual once in a lifetime pixel effect I mentioned: Trap17_Readme.txt If anyone could continue helping, that'd be great.

Gah... the onslaught continues.It seems like now, it's jumped up to once a day, when I turn my computer on for the first time.The first of the new type of BSODs now seems to save a memory dump to my computer when it occurs. (I'll upload one if I can.) Also, windows has now been telling me that it has recovered from a serious error the next time I reboot (about time), which I will attach a picture of.Finally, just today, I got some very odd screen when the computer was booting up. When windows finishes with the very first part of loading, and before it draws the login screen, my cursor showed up like usual, but it froze there, with some random colored pixels across my screen. I will attach several pictures of this as well.I think I'm going to burn puppy linux to a CD now, but the problem is, I don't have anything in terms of persistent storage. I don't want to have to repartition my two hard drives, and the largest usb drive I have is 64MB, which I can't even find right now. So what can I do?

Oh, ok. That makes me feel better

Well, ya, I understand how the system works, I just find that my particular example seems to be a bit of a loop. And suppose the topic begins legitimate, but then degrades overtime from other people? Should it be fair that those of us legitimate posters loose our hard earned credits? (Or gain a debt.)

Are you sure about that? I don't think Ubuntu would be able to maintain most peoples respect for the Linux ideals if it became apparent they were upping the minimum memory required.

That idea sounds a little messed up. I can understand Xisto deducting myCENTs when they delete the owner's thread or post, but you should loose myCents (or go below 0) if a thread was deleted containing your post.

Oh, sorry to hear about that :)I wish I could give you a +1 reputation or something.

You must have been posting a lot of spam to have about -600 myCENTs right now :S

Overtime, browsing around, occasionally I'll see someone's myCENTS show up as a very high number. I passed it the last few times as an odd rendering error, but it's repeatedly showing up for this particular post. Does anyone know why that is occurring?

Ah, I just recalled now setting up Windows 7 on a friend's computer. The setup took forever, since it seemed to be using either some bad CD rom drivers, or bad I/O interface drivers. But once the system was up, (and was able to connect to the internet and download drivers,) everything was set and well.I still have a Windows XP SP 1a cd sitting around, and I'm sure it has terribly outdated drivers, if I were to use it to install an operating system right now. But then, as Microsoft released more service packs, their CDs began coming with newer and newer drivers, most likely better performing as well.

Ooh, did they fix the instant CD tray retraction issue? That's been one that's always bothering me.

True, that makes sense. All in good time, I suppose. I haven't been following along too much with the news of Windows 7, but I look forward to see what Service Pack 1 will bring. (unless I've somehow already missed it?)

Ah, ok. So are you saying that even now, Windows 7 doesn't have enough driver support?

Ohhh, ok. I didn't quite understand you at first. Ya, that's a great idea. Maybe I could use one that saves to a USB stick, so at least sessions will stick around.

That idiom actually makes sense (Although I've heard it said as "As dead as a doornail")I overheard a story regarding routers and (I think:) WEP encryption.This person was sitting in a subway shop, when they discovered an access point secured with WEP, which AFAIK, is crackable in 5-10 minutes these days.So this person discovered the key, then joined the network.The people running this network also happened to have a printer attached, so this person printed off 50 papers reading "Secure your wifi better."What's $15 of lost ink and paper, when uncountably more information could have been stolen

We could? Also, just booted up my computer, logged in, then went away for a few minutes. Came back, just to see another BSOD, different yet again: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (That's a first ) STOP Ox0000000A (0x0888D81C, 0X0000001C, 0X00000000, 0X804DF0BC) Interesting, this is beginning to look like a driver issue more and more now. (According to this very helpful website, that particular stop message indicates a kernel-mode process or driver trying to access memory where it shouldn't have.) I'm still certain that my memory isn't faulty. I did run that memory test, everything checked out. I suppose I'll try running a linux distro for awhile, and see what happens.

Windows 7 drivers are no less "official" than XP drivers, although it could depend on what drivers you are referring to When my school district had Vista computers, the aero interface was generally disabled, being replaced with a more circa-Windows 2000 UI.

True. And sorry for not updating you guys, but I got another BSOD, which, from what I can gather, occured while my sister was playing Sims 3. Here's the information I gained from it: STOP 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, ...) nv4_disp.dll I'm telling the truth though, my graphics drivers are updated Heating issue perhaps? I suppose I may as well install Rivatuner.

That's actually an interesting story I think we should start a storytelling topic. Would you care to start it? I wouldn't have anything interesting to share

Regarding the present day feeling towards content distribution, the compact disk is being phased out. When you make a comparison by saying "This [Windows 7] OS is also faster..." What os were you comparing it to?
