  1. You meant you've tried reformatting and still doesn't work? If that's the case, you could have deep trouble. Here's the cause of the error message "NTLDR is missing". You can read up the solutions here.http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000465.htm https://support.microsoft.com/en-us
  2. Hey Tyssen, please don't think it this way. No offense in my post in any way.
  3. Actually there isn't a need to download an all-in-one chat or instant messenger program like Trillian or GAIM. Simply get Opera browser because it has an IRC client integrated while you are surfing your webpages, all in a single browser. Besides, you can also check your email on the integrated email client in Opera browser. I think Opera is a better alternative than Trillian or GAIM if you don't use all the different instant messenger services. Definately you will surf webpages, so Opera will do the job.
  4. And mine for the first reply here too..If I'm you, I'd lie to them that I'll vomit after taking alcohol. Say you tried before and landed in hospital.. Your friend should stop pestering you if they care.
  5. You can integrate the music file into the power point presentation. However, doing so will also increase the total file size of your eventual power point file. So I suggest you to convert the music file into a lower bitrate for a smaller file size. Also, power point only accept *.wav files so you will have to save it as a *.wav file. Open up power point. Any version will work because it's the standard procedure. However I'm talking about Microsoft Power Point and not OpenOffice or any other office software alternatives. Click "Slide Show" for a drop down menu. Click "Slide Transition". This is the place where you put all your slide animations when transitioning to the next slide. Notice that there is also an option where you can place a sound. Refer to next point. Search for an option that allows you to place a sound. Scroll to the last option in the drop down menu to browse for your own sounds. Note that power point only accept *.wav sound files as background music. You have have to convert to *.wav in a lower bitrate. In the first slide you place a sound, after transitioning to the next slide the sound will not stop playing until you place a new sound in a new slide. So if you want your background music to play through the entire presentation without stopping, simply add the sound in the first slide and none for the rest of the slides.
  6. I had similar problems awhile ago. I also though it was the cache and temporary internet files that were causing it to seem like it was not updated. After I've uploaded and overwritten one of my html files, pictures, or even scripts, they seemed not updated. I've tested it on another computer which never had visited my site before. I don't know what was the problem. This was what I did. After uploading or updating, I open up the file and click reload. There goes, it gets updated. It seemed like a cache problem on local computer. But it was not. I was thinking of the servers also had cache in them to feed information faster. Probably when you reload your pages, the updated sites also updates the server caches, and therefore it gets updated. However, if you are uploading through FTP, the problem doesn't exist.
  7. Try this. SELECT * FROM Table WHERE Column>= 5 AND Column<= 20 This is another alternative SELECT * FROM Table WHERE Column BETWEEN 5 AND 20 Please take note that there is no ' signs to enclose the table name and column name.
  8. You will need to integrate AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript And XML) to your PHP scripts to prevent flickering on page reloads. Read this for more information http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJAX Also browse it's tutorial pages to find out how you can implement AJAX to your script.
  9. What Firefox Myth is trying to say is that the common thing people say are not always true. Somehow they think it is because they read it elsewhere or heard from a third person. The WebDev extension to Firefox which you have stated gives conveniences to web developers. That is simple as that. However that doesn't meant it's results follow the web standards. I didn't say you meant that either. Just to point that out. From what you have stated about the support from Firefox with nothing to back up in Firefox Myths webpage, the link did states that it wasn't totally compatible to W3C Standards. You can try testing that out. I tested it too. It did not state any more to back its reasons because the source explained it. As for the Acid Test, I'm not sure if you had actually tested it in Opera browser. You stated that it doesn't look good on yours. Actually, I found that interesting after reading that from Firefox Myths and I tested that out immediately with Firefox and Opera. Well, as much as it says, Firefox indeed did not render that well. On the other hand, Opera showed that smiley face as perfect as the result shown in Firefox Myths. Hence it's the truth that Opera renders that well and passed the Acid test. I'm not sure how you've seen yours. I've tested it so I'm very sure it works. I'm using Opera 8.53. You can see from Firefox Myths, comparisons against Firefox are Opera version 9, and not Opera version 8.53. This is because the new version of Opera will release soon as it's finalising its new features. From then, if http://www.webdevout.net/browser-support updates, Opera 9 should score better.
  10. Here's what I've understood. You are trying to search for the database entry that contains the two or three words rather than the words being combined together. You will need to use the wildcards in the LIKE and WHERE function in the SQL statements. Here's some examples: The following SQL statement will return persons with first names that start with an 'O': SELECT * FROM Persons WHERE FirstName LIKE 'O%' The following SQL statement will return persons with first names that end with an 'a': SELECT * FROM Persons WHERE FirstName LIKE '%a' The following SQL statement will return persons with first names that contain the pattern 'la': SELECT * FROM Persons WHERE FirstName LIKE '%la%'
  11. I think it's good. It's simple and loads fast. I bet you've used a theme from Blogger. Try not to add non-necessary stuffs as it can slow down your page loading. Good work.
  12. Wow.. Meaning if it is real, you will get that lump sum of money? I guess you should try reply to that email. It was sent from Xisto.com hence I don't think it's a spam. Try replying and see how's the response.
  13. I don't quite agree. As a web developer you need to make sure that compatibility fits all browsers. Hence what you've developed using your prefered browser must look alike on other browsers. Otherwise the web developer is not considered professional. Probably you have not read the Firefox Myth that Canada Eh895 has provided the link. So let's say not that Firefox is a fully compatible to web standards, simply because it does not. Somehow this has became like a Firefox Religion that people keep saying great things about Firefox and throw others aside. I'm not a Firefox supporter neither do I an Opera supporter. In fact I use both browsers for web development. I'm just concern about web standards as I'm strict with it. After some years of web development, I've to agree what the webpage from Firefox Myth has stated, through experience. You will know why Opera is a must better browser.
  14. Wow.. Canada Eh895 that Firefox Myths are real. Now we all know Firefox has plenty of Myths. Here's also a comparison between Firefox and Opera. From here we know why Opera wins. Source from http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/Thanks to Canada Eh895 for giving us the wonderful link to reveal the Firefox Myth. Oh yes we always missed out the BitTorrent support from Opera. The new version of Opera includes BitToreent engine. Now an Opera user doesn't require to download another BitTorrent client to download files. Simply, Opera catches all BitTorrent extensions and download it just like a normal file on it's download manager. How sweet. Firefox can never get that done, you will never know if their extensions are secure though.
  15. That requires HTML acsii codes. An example would be one given from cafefort. The HTML Acsii code is very simple to implement. A very comment code with many web creator, like dreamweaver, places is which means a space. Another one is © which means a copyright sign (?). I'm sure you can do it using these HTML acsii codes. Here's a list of codes which you will have to take reference from. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Since you considered yourself as an advance xHTML user, I'm sure you know how to implement this codes to your site. It's should somewhat be something basic to you.
  16. What programming language you are look for? Actually number guessing game is pretty simple logic to program. Simply it needs to create a random number as the core engine to start the whole game running. I know .NET language quite well. Maybe I can make one for you if you are looking for one in VB.NET. limasol, please place your codes in the tags.
  17. Yeah, actually between Opera and Firefox, I'll choose Opera. Simply because it's fastest in loading pages. It gives me the feeling that Opera is sucking data off the server rather than the server feeding information at it's limited bandwidth. Opera is also an all-in-one browser which rules over Firefox, like what Amezis has commented.Opera also has a place for you to write notes. That's a very good tool if you want to copy information from the web for your work or report. Pasting the text in the notes section automatically saves the note. Everytime you add a new text, Opera will automatically saves as a new note. It's so convenient because you basically don't need to save the notes manually.To add on to Amezis's comments, Opera can also resume downloads, while Firefox can't. The new version of Opera also has a text recognition engine. You can ask Opera to read the internet pages to you while you are writing your blog. It's very useful when asking Opera to read news articles, because it seems like a radio.There are also disadvantages about Opera. Many websites are not quite compatitble yet. A very good example was Gmail. In the past, Opera was not supported to use Gmail. Now you can because Gmail implemented the compatibility to Opera. Google Pages now also is not supported by Opera. It simply rejects and request the user to use another browser. In future I'm sure Google will have all their services compatible to Opera. Besides Google, some CSS and javascripts are not quite supported by Opera. Hence some sites cannot be viewed like what you will see in Firefox or Internet Explorer. A very good example is the fading of images using Javascript which Opera cannot render the fading effect. As for CSS, Opera cannot render transparency. I'm quite sure the new version of Opera will be able to do that.
  18. This is so funny. It get's even funnier when I got this error while fighting.. Roll on the floor laughing... Yeah I am using Opera browser..
  19. In the first place, where did you got that graphic card from? You should be able to get another fan for your model from the same shop that you've purchased this graphic card.Before that, check if the fan got nothing blocking it. Ensure that no wires are touching the fan as it will make the strange noise hitting the wires while the fan is spinning. Also ensure that the fan is free from dust as it can cause clogging and irritates the spinning.Also, check if the ball bearings are properly lubricated. To do that, make sure you remove the fan from the motherboard first before lubricating with electronic lubricant.You can try removing hte two screws to see what you can do with it inside. After all, the screws can be placed back.
  20. Another tip is to minimize the use of javascript, especially during onload events and using multiple timers. Having your page to automatic refresh requires javascript to run a timer. This will slow down your site's response and increase your total bandwidth everytime it refreshes.
  21. Yeah I agree with this, how still we need to find back the remote control. We cannot let it go missing still. This type of idea actually is very simple, but it was not implemented. Actually this feature will be very useful. It could be used for air-cons also. But definately not for cars.
  22. I'm not sure sure what you are trying to say. But I assume you are looking for a simple and professional voting script to use as an alternative. Below are afew voting scripts that you can use for free. Be sure that you read through their documents in the zip packages that you will be downloading from these sites. http://www.hotscripts.com/category/scripts/php/scripts-programs/polls-voting/ http://www.hotscripts.com/listing/php-poll/ http://www.hotscripts.com/category/scripts/php/scripts-programs/polls-voting/ These poll scripts are rated among the top 3 hits. They uses either MySQL or a normal text file to store the data. You can also find other alternatives here. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
  23. You meant ketchup caged within the fries? Wow that's really nice idea. The fries then would have to be specially made. And the ketchup would be as hot as the fries. If this method really works, we could have fried ice cream also, where the bread crumps gets fried while covering the freezing cold ice cream.

    Computer Errors

    A few memory benchmark tools can be these.. http://www.passmark.com/products/pt_advmem.htm http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Anyway, since you said you had these similar error messages before you reformatted your computer, it could be that the programs you install reulting in this situation. You have installed a new program or a program which seemed new to you or a program not properly patched. I am having similar problems now, after just reformatting my computer. Previously I was using Norton Internet Security. Because of the system resources that it took, I decided to stop using it and switch to other free alternatives of antivirus and firewall. I'm installed AVG antivirus and OutPost Free firewall on my newly formatting harddisk. I am still new to these programs and require some time to get use to their behavior as they are pretty different for Norton's system. Recently I'm receiving BSOD. I thought that I was infected with virus or my computer was hecked, because I still cannot trust the new secuity software then still. I took down the messages and searched the internet and realised it's an error caused by a bad code from the firewall. It was the firewall software fault, in other words it was badly writtened. In Outpost website, the changelog stated that bug was fixed in the latest release. However, they did not fix the free version. Hence the free version remained bugged. I was thinking to change to another firewall software. But there were good comments about Outpost people talking about. Hence I'll stay for awhile until there is someone who can recommend something good and trustable. Hence for your case, it may be a similar situation. You might have installed a new program that caused the BSOD. You might want to uninstall them once you've found out which program was doing the fault. Also, updating your software often should also help solve any errors. Outpost Free update however did not fix the bug for my case.
  25. Firstly, the colors does not need to be black for Google's spider to go around your site. Secondly, even if the requirement really needs to be a black colored scheme, illdevilinc's site is already black. He should already be on Google by now. My point is, you don't need a black colored page for Google to seek your site. Actually I did not do anything to my website. It automatically goes into Google when I searched for my name in it. Somehow, Xisto's pages will be crawled by Google. So there's isn't much to worry about your site appearing on Google. Alternatively, you can also add your own web URL in google for them to crawl your site in their next journey. That should quicken the process if you think it's quite slow appearing in Google. https://www.google.com/
