    ctrl + Alt + (arrow keys )

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    Now we all im sure remembered the combination of ctrl+alt + arrow key (any key) to flip the screen in windows , ithink ive first seen it in windows 2000, it works in xp also..

    what i want to know is , what exactly causes that to happen, because it doesnt work on all machines, it doesnt work on my windows xp home edition in work , but it does on the other pro machines..

    I've seen talk online about it being available on only intel based graphics card, is this true ? im very sure my work machine ( dell 4600 ) has an intell card ....

    Any one care to shed some light ?

    so the other day, i'm in the mall checking out a windows xp machine ( virus problem ) i think for a store that i did networked.. anyways, in the back room, right behind me with a big window in it , is the DJ, radio/club DJ with his mac book organizin his lil playlist i guess..

    Now i dont want to go calling the stores name, but its a sort of rasta man store sels all king of hemp products etc, so we have a lil back ground reggae music playin to compliment the store ... then two customers not local walks in and likes the music ... let me try an dialog this

    Customer : wow, i like this music , who is it

    Manager : one of our local reggae artiste

    Customer : can i get a copy of it or so

    Manager : thats no problem, we all about promoting the culture..

    manager turns to the DJ ,( lets call him DJ "X" )

    Manager : do you have a burner there ?

    Dj X : yes i do

    Customer : would it take long, ? we kinna running late !

    Manager : would it take to burn ?

    DJ : of course not , its a Mac you know, its Mac

    ME : ?!? :blink:

    up to this day i never new being a mac meant u can burn cd's faster , i always thought it was the hardware that determined how fast u burn cd's etc

    yes its kinna long , but some one shed some light !

    Desktop Preference

    in Windows 7

    Posted

    don't hate you for your wallpaper. Just seems counterintuitive to support apple (if not the company, the logo), but use windows 7, then complain about windows 7 gui

    OK, 1 , not me the wallpaper, secondly, i support neither apple or their logo, but the pic is nice :rolleyes:

    From the few times i've used mac i dont really like it ( my preference i.e) the layout , etc.. prefer linix an all to it again thats my preference to do with the basic layout and operating , but i must reiterate, the pic is nice :sneaky:

    Screen Shots PPL , im always open to see ppl's layout !

    LapTOP Troubles

    in Hardware Hangout

    Posted

    Ok so i have here a HP laptop dv6324us to be exact.. i think it has " MCS" Mad Computer Syndrome :unsure:

    the guy just said its not coming on, when i hit the power button the blue lights come on then cuts off about 3 times then it stays off. the monitor has no activity at all ..

    i connected my pc monitor to it jus to see what will happen. the amber light turn green three times to say signal i guess for about 2 seconds and then shut off..

    so before i take apart ppl, what do you think may likely be the problem with it ??

    i think we still thinking in the box here ppl, now facts mentioned above while may or may not being accurate ..

    Look at it from the standpoint of say a web browser for instance : windoes=IE , MAC=safari, Linux=Firfox ..

    now basically these 3 have there own which basically allows you to do the same thing, browse, download ,etc.

    Now just as M$ issues its copies of office for both windows an MAC , if the virus of today basically came in three flavours to cause the same noted behavior patern, weather it is to slow down, or restart or crash.....

    As a technician which would you probably think would be the easiet or atleast the prefered OS type that you would deal with , fresh install being your last option

    think of it as , there are 10,000 virus for windows , linux and MAC , which basically cause them to do the same thing, like a ferrari with a flat tyre and a nissan sunny with a flat tyre !!

    yes yes , you guys are stating the obovious, but, put all on an equal playin feild market share wise 33.3 % each. do you think it would be any easier to fix or troubleshoot a MAc or Linux ..

    ive barely touched Mac's but as for linux the most times i get problem with that "thing" i see my hairs greying !!

    Now i may be wrong but.. there are 3 different breeds of OS's

    (1) Microsoft Windows

    (2) Apple Mac

    (3) Linux

    well this is the three we are dealing with for now in a little proportion ..

    Now as we know Windows OS's and Virus go hand in hand , nice like a marriage " make you wanna throw rice "

    For Mac virus is a hardly issue and for linux apparantly no one is that bored yet to really start writting them ( they may have , who knows ) .

    Now so if we are supposing that these three Breeds got the same feed or load of virus to affect the same parts of the OS , ( which ever way it be ) . What do you think would be the turn out ? :unsure:

    would ppl still stick to windows or jump ship to Mac or just use a free open source build ?

    Now i pose this for you guys you obviously have ran atleats 2 or all three different breeds mentioned above .....

    Whats your thoughts ? Just Supposing ?

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    As Jaclaz said early up , clean the registry to begin with .. ive used ccleaner on some machines runnin MCE and you will be shocked of the actually difference in performance .. If not then i guess u can really check the spark plugs and flanges , lol

    but defrag and ccleaner does most of the work for me , note that u usally have to run them multiple times

    What Do you think can be the cause

    in Hardware Hangout

    Posted

    yes there are speakers but no beeps at all, even the molex connectors arent even power other devices like the cd rom etc when its hooked up properly .. i tested the power supple else where and it working also tried a new one on the same unit with the same problem , i removed the cd rom tried it on another unit and it worked perfectly , so i was guessing the motherboard too , but its the 3rd time this pass few months ive encountered it ,im just baffled as to what will cause it to act this strange ???? :blink:

    i dont want to be a change parts technician but rather understand and explain to my customers what and why this happens etc ...

    the Pc behaves like the power supply is dead , no response when the on off switched is pressed . when it was replaced with a brand new one the same thing occurs . when you remove the P4 connector from on the board and press the power button everything lights up ( system doesnt boot )

    ive seen this for the 3 rd time dis yr , once on an AMD unit an Twice on Intel machines , what can be the cause of this problem ?

    im thinking it may be associated with the mother board , what do you guys think ?
