Hard disks drop out randomly, can't be accessed.
allen2 replied to Phaenius's topic in Hardware Hangout
Of course, you have to look for event at the time (the computer time) the problem happens. No matter what kind of problem, if the hard drive is involved and/or the root cause of the problem, you should see some event most likely from source disk that should point out which hard drive isn't responding at the time the problem occurs. -
Looking for some MBR rootkits or other MBR malware

allen2 replied to Phaenius's topic in Hardware Hangout
I'll bet on a problem with a optical drive but, indeed, the eventlogs would provide nice informations and sometime the root cause is easily narrowed with the eventlogs. Look in the system eventlog and you might find related events at the time the problem happens. -
SUM function with complications. Need help with formula.
allen2 replied to kbdavis's topic in Microsoft Office
To do it you'll need a macro most likely: - first you need to get unique value of col A - for each unique value, find all line (j) of col A containing it and add the cell (j,B ) Another way is using the subtotal feature after sorting on Col A. -

Same here, i had the problem about 14h ago. -
The proper way to use a router/firewall as a protection against most kind of malware isn't a nat but blocking most traffic in both side and only allow browsing/internet access through a proxy (more secure with a whitelist of safe website and a realtime malware/antivirus scanner).

While i understand your point, i think you're misunderstanding how webmail works. A webmail is just a "proxy" that convert web request to another mail protocol (imap/pop3/smtp/mapi..). If you want to host a webmailserver application, you'll still need the imap connections to yahoo servers. Then if you're ok with that, you'll have to setup squirrelmail using the admin guide after installing a webserver with php (see requirements) and set it to connect to yahoo imap servers (if yahoo has support for imaps, i would strongly advise to use it instead of imap). It will be a complex setup but it is definitely possible.

Just like with everything when upgrading/updating you might resolve security/bugs issues but you might also encounter other issues. As a side note, the most targeted systems by hackers/virus/malwares/etc.. are always the most widespread so using an OS too old or too new or just rare but not much used and incompatible with the currently most widespread is often enough security.

Indeed, it seems you need IEAK.

Depending on the size of the files, you could still compress and split the files (a little below the max size you can send by email) you want to send if you don't want to relay on a third party.
-
Of course, the solution would be copying from another computer (the destination would be a good choice if possible) accessing a shared folder (for example) but you also set up an ftp/sftp if the transfer have to be secure.

Can an e-mail cookie track you across the Internet?
allen2 replied to JorgeA's topic in Malware Prevention and Security
It is true if you read the html email that can contain linked image from a remote website thus still using web server to track your usage just like when you open the same web page from a web browser. There are a lot of other applications doing the same things. Many other applications doesn't use cookies but also "spy" the times you use their application using the "checking for newer version" feature. -
To my knowledge a repair install replace/remove the system registry hive but doesn't remove/repair other registry hives.

Did you check this event on eventid.net ?

Solution there.

Most UEFI current motherboards (all?) sold separately supportthe boot on MBR partition and usually can be set to either Bios or UEFI emulation. So you will most likely be able to install your multi boot on a MBR partition. All settings will be there even if you choose BIOS (and most likely cold boot will be faster with bios). You just need to download your future motherboard manual and check if bios/uefi settings allow both. The UEFI boot process for windows was created to increase the windows security for oem licensing. I don't even know for sure if a manufacturer even tried to use and sell one computer with it.

Open command prompt then cd /d the parent folder where the folder was created. Then "dir /x" will show you the 8.3 foldername with a name containing a "~" of your folder and the name you given to it when created at the right side. Now "rd /s " should be able to remove it using its 8.3 foldername.

I looked for that solution and didn't found away that wouldn't loose quality in the process. I meant uncompressed native windows format so it is RGB (some kind of BMP) and so it is not an yuv or any of there derivative (i tried all available uncompressed format in ffmpeg but all require a codec). "Loseless h264" might be the solution you need but will increase the size of output video but isn't most likely really loseless. If you take the an uncompressed video and encode it loseless h264 then convert it again to uncompressed format the video won't have the same size and if extract a frame as bmp from both a binary comparison will show a lot of differences. But as you wanted to use a future proof codec, using x264 codec with its best quality will be the best option.

Had the same kind of problems there with ssd (got crucial and ocz) and to add i also have intel usb3 working like an usb2 because intel did not create XP drivers (but created linux drivers so it is kind of strange). I will most likely make a similar move soon as some x86 apps doesn't work properly under XP x64 and i tried to only use XP x64 for a few month. Os support (from software developper and devide manufacturer) is laking a lot nowadays and the x86 to x64 migration isn't smooth and have bad side effects. I think you took the best decision there.

Once converted to huyuv, you'll need either the codec huffyuv to play the video in wmp12 or ffdshow filter (just like ffmpeg it can handle almost any format). For uncompressed, i used virtualdub then loaded the huffyuv video and saved it uncompressed. Ffmpeg can do a lot of uncompressed formats that might be used if you don't need them to play in wmp but if you need them as a step before working on the video and encoding at the final format (using avisynth for example) then they are really usefull. Of course avisynth is a lot more complex and could process the video without intermediate steps with the right settings and directshow filters.
