  1. LOL...and who told you that England has got the best team in the world? For the fact that England beat Northern Ireland by a 4-0 doesnt mean that England will still beat every other country with the same ease and confidence.Well, untill England meets my country, Nigeria, then shall we know if they are really the best team in the world.There are so many other better terams in this world than the Engliss team.
  2. Hmmm.....my favorite phone brand is SAMSUNG® and I will always remain a Samsung® fan. I like mostly their camera phones especially the Samsung® SGH-E800 It is a kool phone which I am hoping to buy one day. For now, I am still using Samsung SGH-C100.

    Social Security

    I dont know any damn thing about Social Security Number cos it aint applicable in my country. As such, I aint bodering my sweet brain about it.
  5. Alternatively, why dont you try and run the chkdsk and scandisk utilities in the DOS mode? There may be some corrupted potions/sectors on your harddrive and that can also cause the defrag util not to function properly. Restart you comp and if you are using Microsoft® Windows XP or any of th previous versions, insert the boot disk and after setup finishes loading the drivers and setup files, dont and I repeat, do not format your HDD. Instead go to the recovery console and use the utils available to try to detect if your HDD has some bad/corrupted sectors in it. If you dont know exactly what to do, type C:\>Help and all the utils and there various functions will be listded for you. You can then go ahead and use the ones you want but I will recommend that you use the chkdsk and the scandisk utils to first detect any bad sectors and try to recover the files in there before going ahead to try the defragmentation again. Hope my lil info will be of much help to you.
  6. Got 70 Gigabytes which are partinioned into 7 drives for the optimal running of the comp. 30 Gig + 40 Gig. I made it so so that I wont have to start search endlessly through my HDDs for files and folders. As it is, I have so many files in there that my AVG antivirus and Spyware Doctor takes quite some time to finish the scanning of th comp.Dont think that it is a slow kinda comp. It runs on Intel Celeron 1.35 GHz with 256MB or RAM.I think thats kool for now untill I have enough money to start thinking of upgrading evrything about my comp.
  7. I think you should go ahead and try http://www.phpscripts.com/. They have good and free php scripts in there for almost everything you need in your website. And they also have flash scripts for your flash animations but the thing is that the flash scripts you will see in there are mostly basic ones and not much scripting in them. Those types anyone can design by him/herself. But try it anywayz, I believe that you will surely get something useful from in there.
  8. Well well well, what I dont know now is whether to go on posting in this forum or not. How on earth ncan someone say that a tutorial I took my own time to write and post looks like that of some university?It seems as if everyone is out on this board to know what and what I am gonna post. I admit to the fact that the former one was copied from some where but what I am not gonna take is the fact that I copied this tutorial from some where.What ever is your (OpaQue) reason for reducing my credits, I dont know.Let me take it that these are the prices I have to pay for having my website been hosted for free.
  9. Hey, you arent going to eletrocute yourself if you open your PC. All you have to do to make sure that you dont get yourself electrocuted is to disconect the MAINS cable from the PC and all the current (AC) and Voltage will disapear from the PC's PowerPack. You can then open it up and work on it the way you want to. I built my PC and if i had to fear the PC the way you are doing, then I wont hve gotten to any where with it.Take your time and work on that PC. Check to make sure that there is a Hard Drive in there. If there is none, get one and if there is one, I suggest that you try and reformat it and then install windows in there.Hope that helps you.
  10. What exactly are you talking about? Are you asking for help about the installation of a Mercury MotherBoard or about the installation of some database server in your mercury mother board?Be specific.
  11. I dont think there any way to make that possible. If you look at my website, the pic at the top looks real nice with IE but when you look at it with FireFox or any of the Gecko browsers, there is a disallignment in the positioning and if i try to corect that, it doesnt look too well in IE and thats why I have left it that way for some time now.I think you can optimize it for one and take your channces in the others.
  12. Hello and welcome to our lil' web programming session. Here we assume that our students are complete noovices of web programming. If you havent ever done any web prograqming, then you've come to the right place. HERE WE GO -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HTML TAGS HTML works in a very simple, very logical, format. It reads like you do, top to bottom, left to right. That's important to remember. HTML is written with TEXT. What you use to set certain sections apart as bigger text, smaller text, bold text, underlined text, is a series of tags. Think of tags as commands. Let's say you want a line of text to be bold. You will put a tag at the exact point you want the bold lettering to start and another tag where you want the bold lettering to stop. If you want just a word to be italic, you will place a start italic tag at the beginning of the word and an end italic tag at the end of the word. Is this making sense so far? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tag Format All tag (I sometimes call them command) formats are the same. They begin with a less-than sign: < and end with a greater-than sign: >. Always. No exceptions. What goes inside the < and > is the tag. Learning HTML is learning the tag to perform whatever command you want to do. Here's an example: The tag for bold lettering is "B". That makes sense. Here's what the tags look like to turn the word "ODOMIKE" bold. <B>ODOMIKE</B> Look At What's Happening: 1. <B> is the beginning bold tag. 2. "ODOMIKE" is the word being affected by the <B> tag. 3. </B> is the end bold tag. Notice it is exactly the same as the beginning tag except there is a slash in front of the tag command. 4. This is what the bold tags above produced: Joe Nice, huh? Some Questions Q. Is the end tag for other commands simply the begin tag with the added slash? A. Yup. Q. Will the tags show up on my page? A. No. As long as your commands are inside the < and > marks, the tag is used to alter the text, but the actual code is hidden from the viewer. Q. Your bold tag uses a capital "B". Do all HTML tags use a capital letter? A. The browser doesn't care. In terms of tags, capitals and lowercase letters are equal. But I think it would be a very good idea for you to make a habit of writing your tags in capital letters as it sets them apart from the normal text. It also makes them easier to pick out later when you are revisiting the code. Q. Must everything have a tag to show up on the page? A. No. If you just type in text, it'll show up. But it will not have any special look. Q. What if I forget to add the end tag or forget to add the slash to the end tag command? A. That's trouble, but easy-to-fix trouble. It will be obvious if you've not placed an end tag when you look at the document in your browser. The entire document will be affected after the point where you forgot the end tag. Just go back into the document, add the slash, and reload the document into the browser. Q. Do all HTML tags require both a begin and end tag, like above? A. No. There are exceptions to the rule, but let's stay on the ones that do require both tags to work for now. Moving along... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Open and Close Tags The majority of HTML tags do require both an open and a close tag (a begin and end tag). Most are very easy to understand because the tag is obvious. Here are a few and what they do to text: Effect => BOLD, ITALIC, TYPEWRITER Code => B, I, ,TT Code Used => <B>BOLD</B>, <I>ITALIC</B>, <TT>TYPEWRITER</TT> What it does => Bold, Italics, Typewriter Can I Use Two Tags at Once? Yes. Just make sure to begin and end both. Like so: <B><I>Bold and Italic</I></B> gives you Bold and Italic <B><TT>Typewriter and Bold</TT></B> gives you Typewriter and Bold If you do use multiple tags to alter text, make a point of not getting the end tags out of order. Look at this: <B><I><TT>Text Text</TT></B></I> In terms of format, the example above is not correct. The end tags are out of order in relation to the start tags. Follow this rule: Always set the beginning and end tags at the same time, always placing them on the farthest end of the item being affected. Here, again, is the example above in correct form: <B><I><TT>Text Text</TT></I></B> Notice the Bold tags are on the far ends. Next in line are the Italics and finally the Typewriter Text tags are closest to the affected text. Just keep setting commands at the farthest ends each time you add them and you'll stay in good form. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Single Tags The open and close tag format dominates the majority of the available HTML tags, but there are tags that stand alone. Here are three I use extensively: TAG WHAT IT DOES <HR> This command gives you a line across the page. (HR stands for Horizontal Reference.) The line right above the words "Single tags" was made using an <HR> tag. <BR> This BReaks the text and starts it again on the next line. Remember you saved your document as TEXT so where you hit ENTER to jump to the next line was not saved. In an HTML document, you need to denote where you want every carriage return with a <BR>. <P> This stands for Paragraph. It does the exact same thing as the <BR> above except this tag skips a line. BR just jumps to the next line, P skips a line before starting the text again. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  13. You should try upgrading your VGA adapter drivers. I think that will be the best solution for you.
  14. I would suggest that you use SwishMax. You can very easily get the trial version from http://download.cnet.com/windows/ It is not a very difficult program to use and all you need is a few days to master the program and get what you want from it. Or, you can also go ahaed and use Macromedia Flash MX 2004 if you are good in flash designing and animation. Another option is this..go to the above metntioned url and type in flash animation in the search box and search. You will be very surprised the number of search results and flash designng softs you will get frm there. Try it.
  15. Wow, thats real nasty. I have been hearing read bad earthquakes happen in India. I guess we are quite lucky over here in our part of the world cos I have never heard any earthquake happened in Nigeria before.I thank God for that.
  16. Now, I can see that something real spooky is going on in here. WHy should someone ever delete my post in this topic? I dont know who exactly did that but I am not seeing the ast post I made in here in which I cautioned Becca to mind the way she talks to her seniors/elders.Now, honestly speaking, i dont like the way things are going on in here and I dont fancy people deleting my posts for whatsoever reason.I am gonna report this to OpaQue.

    New Hdd

    I dont know exactly what else you are supposed to do about that but I think that it will be better for you to reinstal the WIN XP into the 2nd HDD and then transfer a backup of the former HDD into the new one.Try it. I think that it will work for you.
  18. I dont even know how to go about ordering for the free Visual Studio.Net. or am i supposed to download it? And from where?

  22. My recommendation is that you should change your video card to another one with 32MB mem or more. Thtaht should help solve your problem.Commit charge means then aamount of Virtual mem your comp is using at that particular time
  23. Mine is ODOMIKE SERVICES INTL.....The professional website solutions to the small businesses.
  24. What the hell? thats really a very gruesome act. I wonder the reason why all these things keep on happening in Iraq.Kinda strange place to live. I'll never think of living in such a nasty place.
