Well, thanks guys for your suggestions. What I can make out from these is that changing the username is going to be tough. And I too think that admins are too busy to entertain my request. So I am thinking of doing what anwii said. I would delete this account and create a new one. So do I have to PM the admins to delete my account or should I leave it as it is ? Or there is any way I can delete it myself ?

HI everyone.When I joined this forum. I wasn't that sure that I would take it seriously. But now I like it. I know I was absent for about two months as I was busy in preparation college placements and didn't get time to renew my internet connections.Anyway my point is, now I really don't like my username. I have seen creative names of users in forums. I would really like to change my username and have a stylish name. Is there anyway I can do it. I have checked the control panel, it has no options for changing the username.So is there any way?

Hi Zagubadu..You didn't tell me the size of your hard disk. I think you must have partitioned your hard disk. So if you have more than one partition then there is no problem in backing up your data. Just copy your data to a partition which is not your system(OS) partition and then then format that system partition and install XP on that partition. I haven't used windows 7, I guess it also uses NTFS file system, so there will be no problem in reading those files in XP.If you have only one partition then, you might have to look for other ways like the above said online backups or external drives or burning to DVDs etc.

I really liked your blog. You have got a good theme. In my opinion the only things that need some improvements are the - Search on the top right. The word "search" is written quite away from the box and the font too isn't that pleasing. And the second thing is the Menu and its background, I think it would look more attractive if you used some bold colors at least for the text if not for the background.Every thing else is just perfect. A very good job done and congratulations.

First of all -Sky- I don't think that any CPU can be overclocked to increase it's speed to double. I think you can only increase it by 5% or maximum may be 10%.Your computer doesn't start. There can be two reasons. One overclocking. To undo this try setting your BIOS settings to default settings. If your computer isn't booting in the first place then you should try clearing CMOS ram. I think many motherboards support this and your Motherboard manual would have the way to do this.Second there can be a cooling problem. Make sure you CPU fan and the other fans are working properly.

I think blaming fast food restaurants is meaning less. They are there to provide you with the fast food. So that you can eat on the go. Its up to you how often you have food in such eatouts. I think its harmless to have food now and then in these restaurants but eating regularly from these restaurants and avoiding healthy food is what makes people fat. So enjoy now and then with your friends and family in these restaurants, but don't don't make it a daily habit. Have healthy food, exercise regularly and remember enjoy the fast food too, but as fast food not your regular food.

Yes, the Ipad I don't know what the apple is trying to do with this. Is it designed to be a laptop, notebook or a netbook. I think the most appropriate would be netbook as it hasn't got laptop capabilities. I think this is just a bigger iphone or you can even say a bigger ipod. Its price is lesser than laptops but its features are too like its memory, its graphics properties. The only plus point I get to see is the touch screen, yes we don't see laptops with touch screens. That was my opinion, but I know there are many Apple fans who might find it pleasing, but as I said its no way near being a laptop and its just a bigger iphone.

I think I am just like you. I get into fancy things all of a sudden and get tired of it after a short while. When your computer is new or you have installed a new operating system or installed a new graphics card then its natural to go for new and fancy things.When I got my new PC about 6 years back, I tried each and everything eventually corrupting my windows several times, especially themes would spoil some of the OS files and then it was difficult to restore every thing to normal. But always get bored and annoyed by the fancy things after a while switch back to simple and plain look because thats the best for what your OS is configured for and it must be true that I love simple and uncomplicated things.

People have been using pirated CDs for a long time. Some of them use them purposely so that they don't have to spend anything and some of them are so unaware of the piracy. Some of them don't even know the meaning or existence of piracy for them it appears that they have paid the price and they have what they wanted.For knowing that your OS is genuine you need to use the Microsoft's WGA, but its not always correct, sometimes it tells you that your copy is not genuine but it might be genuine. So there's no tool to tell with 100% gaurantee that a copy of OS is genuine or not. Now a days people use cracked OSs or some genuine keys which could be used many times. But if you find an OS on a CD-R or CD-WR then its definitely pirated.I am currently using UBUNTU so I don't have to care for genuineness. Yo...OpenSource.

My favorite subject has always been SCIENCE and strictly speaking my favorite subject is PHYSICS. I loved physics when I was in school, but now I can't study physics anymore because I have landed in programming area. Now I am pursuing a bachelor degree in Computer science.I love programming but not as much as studying physics, but now I have no choice. I made a wrong choice a long time ago and now I have to live with it.

I don't remember dreaming in sequels ever but I have continued dreaming the same dream after some interruption has taken place.Like I am sleeping and having dream and somebody comes and knocks on my room door( I live in a college hostel room) and asks for my bike's key or something else. Now after this interruption, I again go to sleep and I can continue with my dream again. This doesn't happen always but, I remember it happening for quite a number of times.Does this happen to anyone else??

I have been using computers for the last 6 years or so but never felt the need of being a good typist. Because what I did was just watching movies and listening to music and playing games. So I never felt that, I should be able to type at a greater speed. But, when I got an internet connection, I started chatting online, and at that times I realised that my typing speed was very poor and I must improve it. But I didn't try too hard. Just kept chatting a lot and my speed improved automatically but, as the change was significant but the typing approach was very wrong. I didn't use correct fingures to type corresponding letters.But, now I am a computer engineering student and I need to be good at typing so I have seriously started learning typing.As of now I can type 32WPM with 1-5 mistakes. I know its not good but, its just the beginning and I hope to reach the 100 mark soon.Can anybody tell me, how much would it take me to get to that mark.

Hey man this is a splendid game.I didn't knew any thing about hitman. But one day by chance I got to play Hitman Silent Assasin on my friend's PC and I liked it so much. Since then I have played every version of Hitman and I like the gameplay, the story and the character very much.I got addicted to the game.The bugs that some have stated here...I don't remember any of them. I played it quite a long ago, but didn't experience any such problems like some have mentioned here. I would say Codename 47 is great and so is the game.

We can certainly assume that there can be life away from earth. If earth could give an atmosphere to evolve the species we are familiar with, why can't some other planet in some other solar system or some other gallery might provide with some other type of atmosphere to develop some other type of species which we can't even imagine of.So existence of aliens is justified.But, the fact that they visited earth seems illogical because, I could happen only if they were able to travel at speeds comparable to light because we all near planets and heavenly bodies around us, so they have to from somewhere far away, that means they should be able to travel light years of distance that means, they should be able to travel at speeds comparable to light which is scientifically impossible.But we can never know all the deep secrets of science and we also have heard about the alien stories around so there is a possibility that aliens might have visited the earth. I wish I could meet one.

I have never used them before, may a few times during chatting on gtalk where we need to type "" things and these convert into smileys. I never knew about these untill I saw one of my friend using these. I think I haven't used smileys because I think I haven't been a regular chatter or a forum poster. In fact its the first forum I have joined and started posting regularly. May be I will get into a habit of using these as I get more familiar with these or actually this thread might motivate me to use smileys ...so here I go
