ive tried it through automatic update, through the site, it does the same thing everytime, im trying to install k-lite codec pack but it say it needs the latest direct x, everytime i try and install it it gives me "Setup could not download this file. please retry later or check network connection" there is obviously nothing wrong with my network connection because im posting this now,im on Sp4 2000 if that helps,i currently have no firewall because its a fresh install, and im just updating everything on it before i install all my other stuff, if anyone knows how to fix this it would be much appreciated

ok so my girlfriend is having net problems, i know nothing about wireless so i have no idea what to do to fix it lol, she is on the internet, than her brother gets on the other computer (its a laptop) if that helps thats on the same router as her, he starts downloading and it kicks her computer offline, and sometimes it doesn't let her connect back online until she takes the power out of her router and dsl modem and plugs it back in. what could be causing this problem?

i was bored so i went looking around for info on sp3 and i found this http://www.bbspot.com/News/2007/01/windows-xp-sp3-vista.html could this be true?

i agree TAiN, but with there answer, they should have an excuse why they think its the most secure, some people say vista is the most secure, but as with somethings, newer isnt always better... like yahoo messenger for example, i upgraded to the new 8.1, its buggy as hell and not very insecure, ive seen somebodys name get taken out of a chat room,just by decoding there cookies, so i downgraded to 7.0.

i use tune up utilities 2007 it does more than just defrag, i highly reccommend buying it B)

HOW TO REMOVE INTERNET EXPLORER FROM WINDOWS 2000 AT INSTALL and/or HOW TO CREATE A FULLY PATCHED WINDOWS 2000 AT INSTALL (with IE 5 or 6, you pick) Service Pack 5 Version service pack 5?? is there a sp5 on 2000? or is that a typo? that confused me lol

http://www.ipodlinux.org/Main_Page how cool would it be, playing your music on your ipod with the windows media player visualizations, if linux could do it, do you think anybody could get windows to work on it? lol, im sure these newer one's could support it, because you can use them as external hard drives, mines 30gb and im always transfering files between computers with it, haha id love to use paint on the ipod linux has even got the classic game Doom ported to ipod

i had that same problem, my computer was due for a reformat anyways so i just reformatted haha, i wont install IE7 again, gave me nothing but problems, its kept freezing up on me, i dont have that problem with IE6 i realy dont see the point in microsoft makeing all there new software graphical, they could at least have an option for it to use the old skin on it, for the people with slower computers. oh and i removed it through cpanel, rebooted, than it said i needed to reboot again to finish the uninstall when i clicked the IE6, so i rebooted yet again, and it said the same thing when i clicked the IE6 setup, it annoyed me that much that i just reformated. im lucky i didnt have anything important on it lol

thanks for the welcome neo

9 days till i get speed back maybe if i let it load over night i can watch it in the morning lmfao, capped net blows

has it got sound? lol, my nets capped so i have very slow speeds haha, i saved it in favs for when i get speed back, i liked number 1, cant remember if ive seen number 2 lol, the wet shirt scene in the rain with Kirsten Dunst is classic <3 haha

im running that too and not realy having any problems, but if sp3 comes out like it supposed to next year, wont be up to date for long lol

well its 3.07am and im introducing myself to you guys lol, i live in australia, i have all my life, im 20 years old, i probably know more about computers than most 20 year olds do, ive been a windows user ever since windows 95 (back in the olden days) haha, i got my alias from mortal kombat just like to say its a great site/forum, ive learnt so much already and ive only been on this site about 3 or 4 times, (its now my homepage) anyways thanks for the great site

what do you think the most secure windows is? in my opinion, windows 2000 is, reason because, every operating system has bugs/exploits in it, when they first come out hackers (the good kind, as i said in this post http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=95141 ) find the bugs and report these bugs/exploits, and they get patched with hotfixes and service packs, 2000 is on its 4th service pack so im sure its pretty **** secure lol, i used to be a windows 2000 user, than XP came out, i wait at least a year and a half before i got it, cause it only just came out and it would be full of bugs/exploits, im gonna do the same with vista, but first ill need to get a better computer for that lol, anyways that just my opinion, whats yours?

ouch all paid scripts looks like im gonna have to start saving up, thank you for the fast reply xper

what cms is this site? i love it, ive been thinking about doing a tutorial site up, with tutorials about.... umm everything i think ive found the perfect cms loads fast and looks sexy B) never seen anything like it

haha ive been browsing this site for a few weeks now, im loving it here i should have registered back than

In the mainstream hackers are labeled as a nuisance, as evil people who like breaking into systems and destroying everything they can. The media and most security firms haven’t helped much when portraying the role of hackers in internet security and technology. According to them all hackers are thieves, cyber-terrorists, and people who maliciously infect others with malware for fun or profit. Also according to them nearly all, progression of internet and security is due to software development and big corporations. As many of us know hackers have played a vital role in the development of software, security, and the whole internet. Without hackers who knows where we would be now. Almost all security holes that are found are reported to the vendors before being made public, many of which have months worth of notice. But how many software vendors have you actually seen give credit to the hackers for finding the bug? Not many if any at all. Many groups even dedicate their research to the finding of bugs in one vendor’s products. Some vendors are even as arrogant to ignore advisories from hacking and security groups so who is to blame when they go public and things get damaged? One very important person in the Nuke-Development community, Technocrat of http://nuke-evolution.com says, " I personally think that certain hackers (whitehats) provide a service that is very helpful to us and our users. I know that no matter how hard we try there is always going to be holes in our software, as well as others. It is human nature to make mistakes. I would rather a whitehat hacker find these holes than a blackhat or script kiddie. We try very hard to secure our software." The Nuke Evo dev team has been working for a year or more now making a secure and modified php nuke distro. All fixes and security comes stock so an install like this will most likely help lots of beginners. Nuke-Evolution is a third party source and is not affiliated with phpnuke.org which is another vendor who has ignored numerous advisories and even the fixes for his own product, Bad as it may sound this is a common occurance in the web development community. Even though, the proof is almost undeniable that hackers have always had a vital role in the development of the internet and software there is still many whom feel totally different, I guess they don''t like being kept on their toes. Most of the bad image that hackers get comes from mass defacers, trojan kiddies, bot kiddies, and other unskilled people who just use other''s scripts and exploits for malicious purposes or just to make a name for themselves." In closing i'd like to leave you with this thought, Imagine there were never hackers, even malicious ones. Where do you think we would be as far as technology and IT security? Do you think that your data would be secure or your software would be as good? But then again you could say without hackers there wouldn’t be a need for most of the technology and software.
