Computers & Internet - 27 September 2007

I am writing a vb6 program that requires I know whether or not the user is using the windows classic theme on windows xp or not. This same program has to be able to determine which picture is being used as the desktop wallpaper.

I have searched around but do not seem to find any code which does them (check for Win Classic & Wallpaper) so I want anyone out there to help me out.

Thanks.

At home I rest my cell phone near my computer speakers and near my TV. Sometimes the speakers make rhythmic noises just before my cell phone rings, and sometimes when it doesn't even ring.
Anybody know what this is?

For some reason, the CD Drive on my laptop won't open, I've pressed the button several times and I've right clicked and clicked on eject too. Does anyone else have any solutions?

It seems like the family computer kills power supplies for fun....back in june there was a thunderstorm and the power went off ( it wasnt plugged into a surge protector at the time). It worked fine for about 3 hours until i opened it up and added a gig of RAM. I plugged it back in and it didnt work. I figured out the power supply was dead and i had to buy a new one.

Aroudn that same time i was workin on the computer im using right now(A great machine btw). So i fixed the other one and put it in the living room. Now a day ago my sisters said the computer was running really really slow. It was completley infested with viruses (Trojans, Worms, Spyware, Adware, Malware) everything....I tried using virus scanners and deleting everything manually but they just kept coming back.

I decided to just do a complete system restore and everything went fine. Until I i opened it up to remove the PCi adapter card. I closed it up and plugged it in. It started up and worked fine.

This is my website - http://www.layouts.chachasplace.com

It looks PERFECT in FF2 and IE7 ........ My husband just tried to look at it in IE6 and it's all messed up and I don't understand why!

Can someone please help. I've looked through the code about 100 times and even tried an HTML Validator, which I don't even understand the results of!

I'd hate to have people come to my site and it's all messed up like this!

hello,

my motherboard states, that to enable dual channel mode, memory of the same "type and density" is needed in both colour-coordinated slots. [4 slots, 2 blue x 2 black]

now does this mean if i have a Hynix DDR400 (512mb) and a Hynix DDR400 (1gb) that they will run dual channel? [1.5gb] or do they have to be same capacity too?? i.e 1gbx1gb, or 512x512?

I got all my drivers back up (to my knowledge) and even tried installing the drivers to what i believe my sound device to be. It's an integrated Realtek sound card for a SiS 755-A2 motherboard. I've tried everything. It does not even show up in the device manager. Just codecs.

Sometime ago my PC encountered a problem & I had to erase my Windows XP...
My configuration are as follows:
RAM: 1 GB
AGP: 128 MB
Motherboard: Intel D865 PERL
Hard disk: 80 GB
& internally:
Number of drives :7
C: Win 98
D: Win XP
E: Music
F: Software
G: Game 1
H: Game 2
So, in order to fix it I reformatted D: drive & installed Win XP..
Everything was working ok & then I thought I had to repartition the drives for a special reason so I thought of erase G: & H:
to make 1 big drive but something terrible happened.
I tried to repartition them using a Win Vista installer & when I went to delete my G: It also wiped out my C:, D:, E:, H: (leaving just my software drive (F:) normal...
After that I tried re-installing Win XP by recreating partitions & setting them all up but when setup takes place & installs content on a drive to run actual setup, it doesn't work after that.
The PC reboots & an error comes up saying MISSING NDIF FILE or something...

I want to print pictures, scan, copying is not so much an issue, but not unwanted exactly, a place for a memory card would be great. My camera likes to die(: I print a lot, so the speed of printing sort of matters. Portability not such an issue. I'm not really looking to spend more than let's say $250 (at the absolute most, cheaper would be gReAt) Thank you for ur help!!

In my Hotmail account, I received an e-mail from Yahoo! Member Services (my-login-request@cc.yahoo-inc.com), asking to verify my Hotmail account (known by Yahoo! as alternative address). This e-mail was indicated by Hotmail as being "blocked for your safety". Earlier, through Yahoo! Answers, I refused to verify this address.
Question 1: Are "my-login-request@cc.yahoo-inc.com" and (Reply-to:) "my-yahoo-register@cc.yahoo-inc.com" regular accounts with Yahoo! ?
Question 2: If so, why does Hotmail indicate this message as being dangerous (phishing) ?
Question 3: If so, why doesn't Yahoo! find a better way to request verification of alternative e-mail address ?
Question 4: This message being forwarded from my Hotmail account to phishing@cc.yahoo-inc.com, didn't produce any reply from Yahoo! Is this the usual procedure with Yahoo! ?

I am having problems with kids surfing and blacklists are too much of a pain in the neck. I need a router that support a large whitelist style access control system, and a time based block.

What is the best for this? Price is not really an issue, capability is.
