Software - June 2007

I recently gat a virus and windows shut down on my computer so as not to harm it. I subsequently ran a full system scan from safe mode and disposed of the virus. However, windows is not going back to normal. It seems that it will not start up normally, I seem to only be able to operate in safe mode. When I attempt a system restore, a box says The operation failed to initialize. I was wondering if their is a "trick", or what your advice is? Also, can I uninstall windows from safe mode, and THEN reinstall it to fix the problem? If so, how?

My dad won't let me get the computer game Black and White 2 unless I uninstall it after playing if for a month or so. I was wondering, after uninstalling a game, does your computer remain slow and still carry files pertaining to the game? or does it completely erase it? please help computer buffs!

Does anyone who has the software think it slowed down the computer? It would be really helpful if you could tell me how much memory it takes, it probably says on the box but I haven't bought it yet.

I have a pretty good computer, and when i first start it, the desktop loads very fast. Internet access is immediate, my messengers come up very fast.


But when i put in norton internet security, it starts going slower.

ive seen the desktop and its parts take up to 2-3 min to fully load.

Is there something in Norton i can change (a setting) that will help this?

How and where can I get watermarks that I can edit with whatever name I want , like at Corbis or Getty images? And preferably for FREE or very cheap to buy? I saw on a web site and I liked it, they had images without any watermarks (or so they let you believe it) and when you move the arrow of the mouse over it it displays the watermark. Even something like that I would want to know where to get. Thanks.

At work, I use Outlook 2003. Whenever I begin Outlook, it automatically goes to send/receive and downloads any waiting email. I have never been able to do this at home. Does Outlook 2003 have this feature for non-network computers, such as mine at home? Brian

I have a varchar2(20) field that has date in it. When I TO_DATE them, I get 2098 instead of 1998. They are stored as character strings like '24-JAN-98' and '13-MAR-03'. I need to change all these records so they have a 4-digit date, by entering a '19' in front of anything before 2000 and a '20' for everything after. So I'm thinking there should be some sort of SQL (or PL/SQL) where I could use instr, replace, or some other function that a beginning Oracle developer - like me - hasn't mastered yet. I have about 250,000 records that I need to do this to.

I have a DVD+R but its not big enough to hold both the mdf and mds files.

Its the DVD itself and the menu.

I've heard of double layer DVD disks and DVD-R but I have no idea which I should use.

Do I use a different one or just get another pack of DVD+R in a bigger storage size?

I'm using Alcohol 120%, btw.

cheers.
