Oh yeah, sorry about this topic. I had crafted an awesome response to this but it was on a day that the database got rolled back and I forgot which topic it was. I had suggested that you import a NIC configuration with netsh, and have the configuration be an invalid static IP address.

Ok well I will say then that it can and does happen. Apparently not 100% of the time. The reason being is that IE10 doesn't have a Welcome Page. So just so you know that you could run into this problem at some point. BUT I also learned something new! It is only deprecated on Windows 8, but doesn't throw an error on Windows 7. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff716441.aspx

I'm not sure it is a Windows 7 thing, but I never use Window's built in zip compatibility. But when I had, it usually has a check box at the end to open the contents, but it doesn't run anything automatically.

For the "friends online" widget at the top, is it possible to change the background color of the number bubble? It being red makes me think there's a problem, like I got a PM or there is a report. Maybe it can be green or something?

The article says it is a modified F-4 Phantom. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-4_Phantom Of course, even the military's drones aren't particularly small, but they are smaller than the F-4 at least.

I'm making this post to demonstrate the new function to our users, since most cannot see posts in the test forum. The new align codes allow to wrap text around an image when making a post.

Especially IE10. For example if you have IE10 in your image and use an answerfile that has DisableWelcomePage, you will get an error during install.

Many years ago, I once wrote a driver that allowed Iomega's backup software to see the sound card as a tape drive. It did work but trying to backup files to the soundcard ended up with a BSOD.

For the longest time I always ignored these types of programs because, like you, I had always older boards that didn't seem to give me any sort of readings. I only had one of these already, the GPU-Z from when my old video card was failing. I was surprised when opening it that it showed me the video card temperature which was why I went to find the other one. My only complaint is that it doesn't pick up the fan speeds, but that is probably because most of them run off the PSU. I will have to check again later to see if any of them are actually connected to the board. NO. jaclaz Thanks then that is good to know. Also on a side note, thinking about that airflow animation and what Charlotte said before... I think I can made some stride in increasing airflow to the area where the intake that blows over the hard drives is.

I'm only wondering because if I replace both drives, going from IDE to SATA, Windows could potentially change the drive letters couldn't it? Even if I did clone the IDE drive to SATA and everything would be the same, Windows still would know it was a new disk and enumerate it that first time...

Recently gave one (two?) up to recycle for $5USD each. And a 386.Some people end up all nostalgia and want to go back. There's just something about using old software on small CRT monitors with less colors, or maybe a purple blob in the corner of your screen. DOS4GW errors, and taking an hour to install something from your 2X CD drive.

Well we aren't so bad yet on the game system front. I do not want to be all doom and gloom regarding how people just expect their new thng to stop working in 10 years because the server will get pulled. If the product is successful enough, their devs can certainly make it so you can keep using it if you want. And the computer thing in business, this is largely due to companies still not understanding how to be using computers. By that I mean that people who are not involved in using the products, or who are not technically inclined are the ones who make the decisions. They often wait until the last possible moment to upgrade and always spend large amounts of time and money to make things work on the new platform. Most computer people would tell you that you should be looking at the new technology right away and plan for a transitional period. Do you know how many companies are still using extremely old databases that they just can't justify the costs involved with upgrading them? In the health care industry, many of the (old) mainstay companies still need to use terminal emulators because their customer database is in a 20+ year old mainframe system. I worked with one company awhile back that had to go to XP in 2004 (They were still using NT4 Workstation) and the biggest problem they were faces with was none of the terminal emulators they had access to worked with Windows XP! But maybe these companies are in the same mindset we are in, we are "old thinking" and go by the idea that if it works, why change it? Well the world is changing around us.... As far as the USB thing, I think at the time Firewire was still a popular new thing it was only really competing with USB 1.1. We already know that Firewire wasn't really something to use as an input device connection replacement because it was kind of a waste. USB was definately fine for that. I think USB 2.0 pretty much killed firewire... But they still make computers with Firewire ports so there must be some use for it today. Maybe what MY complaint about USB is.... Why do companies still need serial ports? Many companies that work in the POS channel still (absolutely) require hardware with serial connections. I understand that a lot of equipment in the field may be older and have serial connectors, but why hasn't USB replaced those devices yet?

Welcome to the MSFN!

Well don't I feel silly. That 6L020J1 is actually a 20GB drive... I know what happened and why I thought it was a 120GB. The 120GB drive was put in my Win98 PC. This 20GB drive is from when my old computer had XP on it. There is little I actually use on it anymore and could probably be removed as the only thing I use is portable. That leaves me with the 80GB drive which I can clone to the WD SATA drive I got today. So hopefully Windows won't re-arrange the drive letters on the clone since the 80GB has 2 partitions on it.

Well I just got 2 other SATA HDDs that I could use to replace the two Maxtors. I'll have to figure out what is on those drives. If they are both my storage drives it would be great. Otherwise if they have a program on them, if I did a disk clone I could end up with different drive letters which would be a pain. I will look at getting a different video card as well. Oddly enough, the AC guy is stopping by today.

In my "case", I don't think adding any extra fans will make any difference. It already has 5 internal fans, not counting the one on the CPU or video card. I am using the Antec P182 which is the same as this: http://www.antec.com/product.php?id=6 Except I got the gunmetal one and not the one with the stainless steel outsides. A flash demo of the cooling paths can be seen here: http://www.antec.com/demo/p182/p182_flash.html We are getting a heat wave this week and it started yesterday. For us, anyways, 90 degrees F is like the rare upper temperature limit we ever experience. And having a lake nearby, we also get some high humidity. Yesterday we had about 90% humidity. I would imagine that humidity effects computers as well? And no, there is no air conditioning! Maybe someday I can get it... we'll have to see how much it costs.

Another request. Can you disable the showing of search bots in the "users are reading this topic" portion below a thread? I know it is an important thing for you (admin) to be able to see what search bots are visiting the forum, but I doubt it has much use for the regular users.

Not going to bring politics into this, but this was tweeted in February... titled "I spy" https://twitter.com/BarackObama/status/302560295958749184 How strange, because "I spy" something that looks like Windows 8. Is Windows 8 an operating system for children?

The background color/image of the search field matches the currently selected color scheme. It might be helpful if it were set to an opposite color (white vs dark schemes) so that people know where it is. It does not immediately stand out that there is a search field up there.

I know that "hot" is subjective, I certainly don't feel hot, warm maybe. Its not intolerable. But we have to understand that our computers may be less tolerable to temperatures as we are. Here I was, sitting down to a relaxing game of Civ 5 when my screen goes black. Somewhere, in the background of ALT-TABs lies some message relating to the video driver having a problem. I sat thinking... well it is kinda warm today, I don't think I feel up to playing anything that requires more thought. Then I realise, well, maybe my computer is hot too? So I decide to take a break, while the words of a complete stranger from a parking lot once told me echoes in my head:

There is a problem with the post editor when you type some stuff. Then you press "Enter" (or Return for you oldies) and then put in manual IMG tagged content. While the hard return appears in the editor before posting and while editing the post, it isn't respected on the actual post. Sometimes I need to do 2 or 3 extra "Enter" between the content and the image. Proof in the test forum. EDIT: also, when clicking the number of topic followers up top, I can't see the users. I know I should be able to see the users that follow the topic because it has that function on reboot.

Hey, you can change some color of the forum. Way at the top of the page is a paint brush where you can change the color!

I know it is something a user probably doesn't care about... But I think it would be nice if the link to the forum rules were up top someplace. It took me forever to realise where the link was... WAAAY at the bottom. Otherwise, I think it looks pretty cool so far. Especially since the design is different than other boards of this version I frequent.

I am certain there is some language barrier issue here, but this made me giggle. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/16da0a17-e723-492a-9caf-b565ea3262f8/i-got-error
