This suggestion might be a bit off the wall but here goes.  Have you tried running a memory tester?  Although it seems unlikely that a new machine would have a bad stick, but anything is possible.

I am with you Steven.  Its harder than it needs to be.   cheesy  I have tried it a few years ago... ok... probably 4 or 5 years.  I had trouble getting it setup then, so I haven't really tried it since then but I need to.  I have 2 W7 pro, 3 XP pro, Mac 10.6, and a couple of iPads (which i know cannot network to them).

I would appreciate some down to earth, easy to read and do instructions.
78  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: Whats your preferred web browser? on: March 25, 2012, 06:18:14 AM
I have been a long time user of Firefox, but am getting tired of all its updates and broken extensions.  I do like the fact that it is customizable.  I like the speed of Chrome and am now using SwIron instead.  However, I miss some of the toolbars that IE and Firefox have.  IE 9 on my W7 machine is the best IE yet, IMHO.

Some years ago, I used K-Meleon and liked its speed but it wasnt updated very often (and still isn't). 

What is the difference between Chromium and SwIron?

80  Main Area and Open Discussion / Living Room / Re: Which decade was the most fun for you personally? on: March 20, 2012, 06:30:35 AM
It's hard for me to pick just one decade being better than any others.  They all have their ups and downs.  I don't remember much of the fifties but man in the sixties, we were in heaven.  With Elvis Presley and the beach party movies, it was wonderful seeing all those stars in their bikinis!  thumbs up 

the seventies brought college, marriage and Dave pushing a baby carriage.  They were good too.  But the rest have their fun moments too.  In the last five years, came the grandkids, and they are a lot of fun too.

Um... Not exactly. The Branded OEMs are customized as to what they will (brand) hardware they will activate on ... But they will install on anything. I've got a set of Dell (because they are the cleanest) install disks that range from XPSP3 to Win7,

SJ, what do you mean by cleanest?

So something along the lines of Outlook's (optional) delivery and/or read receipts?

SJ, you took the words right out of my mouth!   cheesy

Vueminder looks really good.  They offer 40% discount for non-profits, 30% for education and its free for churches!  And they even offer churches up to 10 licenses!  how cool is that!   Thmbsup
84  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: I seek calendar software to suit a specific requirement. on: February 26, 2012, 01:18:36 PM
I have looked at Word and Excel before but no satisfaction. Now that I think about it, the old Lotus Ami Pro 3.0 used to make an awesome calendar.  It was a great word processor... loved that program.
85  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: I seek calendar software to suit a specific requirement. on: February 26, 2012, 01:17:05 PM
I shall look at it too.  I think re-occuring things on there like a monthly appointment would be good too.
86  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: I seek calendar software to suit a specific requirement. on: February 26, 2012, 08:44:01 AM
I too, have been looking for this very thing.  Without any luck.  Why is it so hard to find or make?  Everybody keeps telling me to try Google Calendar.  Nope!  Not what I want.  I want to see all the words on a given day not just 4 words.   Cry

Curt,  I am currently running W7 Pro on an older 32 bit machine.  I started out with 2 gig of RAM but since one stick failed me, I am running on 1 gig now and it is working fairly well.  No lockups or anything like that. 

It is a Dual Core machine at 1.6 ghz. 

As I recall 32 bit machine won't see all of the 4 gig of memory but that doesn't affect it in anyway. 


Scroll down this page a bit and you will see the Windows 7 specs for maximum memory.

90  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: Finding Outlook Express password on: February 11, 2012, 06:18:14 AM

Don't you have to have a working system to use that? Also it only seems to support Outlook account not Outlook Express (which isn't a version of Outlook at all) - though the comment that Outlook and OE store their passwords in similar registry locations may mean that it will do that.

Well Carol, it looks like maybe it can fetch OE passwords. But I am not sure whether it can do it from a dead system.

Quote
It can recover passwords from all versions starting with Outlook Express to latest version, Outlook 2010 and works on wide range of platforms starting from Windows 2000 to Windows 7.
91  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Finding Outlook Express password on: February 10, 2012, 06:03:59 PM
I need some help in locating the OE password from a non booting hard drive.  I can see all the files on the hard drive when I slave it to my computer.  I have tried Nirsoft's MailPassView but it cannot see but the booting hard drive.

Is there a way that I can find this out?

thanks
dave

Revo found no leftover files but it only did a moderate scan.
94  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: OpenFreely warning on: January 14, 2012, 06:32:37 AM
Whoopse!  I just d/l it today.  Wished I would have looked here to see if there was anything on this before installing it.  Oh well, time to break out Revo and hope for the best.   Wink

Actually, I havent done anything on this yet.  Had too many other fires pop up.  But I do expect to look at it again in the near future.

thanks for the suggestions.
96  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: Learn to program with Code Year on: January 05, 2012, 02:00:12 PM
I like the idea! smiley

(I'd like to see programming taught starting around grade 4 or so though. It builds logic skills.)



Hmmm, I wonder if that would have helped my logic skills??  But 4th grade was a very long time ago.   Wink
97  Main Area and Open Discussion / Living Room / Re: What's with the super-popular youtube videos that are just slideshows?? on: January 04, 2012, 04:13:39 PM
I am not a big Youtube fan but over the weekend I was on there and noticed the slideshow movies.  I thought "whats with this", I mean I don't want to look at the same slide for 20 seconds before it changes.  I expect to see a video.

Maybe these are newbies trying to break into the world of Youtube??   tongue

Remember that if you change the motherboard, you will most likely have to reinstall Windows and everything else.  I have tried before to just update the drivers but haven't had much success in that area.  Since  your machine is 3 years old now, then updating some of the hardware would give you more benefits than just replacing the memory.

Very true.  I think that you can backup all you want and have other failover things in place but in the end, stuff does happen.   Sad  It doesn't matter what you do, very vew people can afford to have the protection in place that would guarantee them 100% reliable backups in case of a failure.

Yep, people can muck up the works.  Machines are mechanical devices and as such, things can and do go wrong from time to time.

oh well... job security for ya! smiley
