I know it is a crappy method, but you can do what I do and run a copy of xp 32 bit in a virtual machine. I'm running xp 64 bit, and almost nothing in the world like 64 bit, so I have to install what wont run in my virtual machine. (though if it is a game, you are pretty much SOL)

Main Area and Open Discussion / Living Room / bluetooth can't recieve files

I have a mogo bluetooth adapter That semi works with 64 bit windows. I can't use the software that came with it, because it is 32 bit only. I downloaded Widcomm 6.00 Bluetooth and there was a broadcom driver that works with xp 64 bit. The problem though is that I can only send files to my pantech slate cell phone, but I can't receive files from it. I can however connect my wii remote to my computer with no problems. Does anyone know how to make my computer able to receive files from my phone? I don't want to have to send myself an mms to email message just to get stuff off my phone. After I make this post, I am going to email mogo and see if by chance they have 64 bit drivers that they are hiding from me, because I can't find anywhere on their site to download drivers.

I don't know, it seems to put a virus in the temp folder and in the syswow64 folder. I've downgraded back to IE7, I'm going to stop using chrome for a while and use IE7 and see if the virus reappear. I may see if I can install xp x64 in a virtual machine and then put IE8 on that and see if I can get the same results.

which web browsers use the temporary internet files folder? Everytime I run IE8 and then close it, I will get a virus warning from avast in the temp internet files folder, and another one in the sysWOW64 folder. (I don't remember what the one in the temp folder is, but the virus in the syswow64 folder is something like 168659.exe or something like that) I dropped back to IE7 in hopes that this problem is resolved. If it helps any, when I used IE8, I never when to any sites that I didn't go to in IE7 or in chrome for that matter

Seems that the power management from your monitor is on the fritz. After it is showing the expected signal, does it remain functioning ok?
yes, after it finally manages to turn on, it works fine. If I leave it turned off, or in standby mode for longer than like 10 or 15 minutes than try to turn it on, it wont for a while. All that happens is the light blinks for about 1 to 2 minutes, and then the monitor turns on and displays what is on the screen... Am I fixing to loose my second monitor ? if you're experience is anything like mine, then *yes*. i had exactly these symptoms on two samsung lcds.. eventually they progressed to worse stages, where they would never get very bright, and then eventually stopped turning on completely. well crap, mine is still at the beginning stage, I don't want to have to get a new one... I just got this one because my crt died on me.

Recently my secondary display (acer AL1916) has started messing up. If I leave it turned off, or in standby mode for longer than like 10 or 15 minutes than try to turn it on, it wont for a while. All that happens is the light blinks for about 1 to 2 minutes, and then the monitor turns on and displays what is on the screen. The monitor is new to me, but not brand new. It used to be in the kitchen (for almost a year I think, I'm not sure.) This is only my second LCD display (my first being my primary display, which still works perfectly), so I don't know what an lcd monitor does when it is going out. Am I fixing to loose my second monitor for a while until I can get a new one?

I was surfing the forums, and I ran across the warning message that google chrome gives when the site you are visting contains malware. [attachthumb=#] here is the page that gives the warning. edit: upon further inspection, I have found the culprit. The user TOOWILD has an avatar that triggers that warning, because of where they are hosting the image from

I just thought of something. I'm using a Memorex cd-rw disc, that wouldn't have anything to do with corrupt installs would it? I will soon find out, because I am burning opensuse right now.
edit: well opensuse(net install) just stops about half way through the loading process, and debian (net isntall) wont detect all my hardware. I guess I will just have to use wubi, and leave windows 7 on my other drive.
