Computers & Internet - 1 August 2006

Hi

I've been trying and trying to log into Yahoo! Messenger - but can't.

When I fire it up, I enter my ID and password and the welcome screen just shows me the grey dozy face and asks me to sign in again. I've tried this several times and reloaded MGR and rebooted many times - so it doesn't look like an installation prob.

Same applies when turn off my firewall / Nortons AV. Makes no diff.

I'm on Optus broadband and they advise me that other users can use it so I'm presumably doing something wrong ....

As for the connection preferences, I've tried all four of them to no avail. I understand from the people at Optus that I don't need proxies so presumably the 'no proxies' or 'firewall no proxies' option should work.

What i have noticed is that when I go to choose the connection preferences, I cannot select (or deselect) "dial up" which is towards the bottom of the screen. An FAQ I read seemed to assume I should have been able to do that - or is that irrelevant?

Neil

I've started my own web design/programming and consulting company. I need a name bad. I'd prefer something short, that would also make a good domain name. something "... Productions" is what I was thinking but I'm open to all suggestions. I do HTML, JavaScript, CSS, PHP, ASP (classic), network design, and network security consultation.

I'll even send $5 to the person who sends in the idea that I end up using, so make them good! Thanks to all who respond.

I bought an external hard drive enclosure (for a normal hard drive) to make it an external USB hard drive. It was not getting recognized on my computer and it would not let me reformat it when i went through the disk manager (it said something about the partition not being enabled, but according to the properties it was enabled and i could not create a new partition). I tried doing all this on my sisters computer (a dell laptop) and it worked fine! i was able to reformat it too. after reformatting the drive i am still having the exact same problems on my sony laptop. What is the problem? different version of windows? oh ya, i tried the drivers from windows as well as the drivers included on the disc that came w/ the enclosure. no dice. its gotta be something w/ my computer. where do i start?

Every time the light on my CD/DVD writer drive lights up, any audio playing on my computer cuts out for a moment. This makes playing an audio CD in the computer impossible to tolerate.

The drive is also running very slow when copying data to the computer from a disk or when writing one - it takes little rhythmic "breaks" from whatever it's doing about one second long about every second while operating operating. This makes any task take twice as long as it usually would, and it also makes the rest of the computer run slowly.

Is this a software problem, a hardware problem, or is it caused by another part of my computer, like the power unit?

I know the new flat screen TV's can also be used with a computer, but can they split the screen so you can watch tv and use your computer at the same time?
