Hi DD, There are thousands of diet and exercise books out there, and while I am not fixed on any one, I lean toward the Fit or Fat books by Covert Bailey. He talks mostly about exercise and body fat percentage. Which is the same things that the US Navy works with. The hardest part is finding out your body fat percentage, most ways cost a good bit. But the us navy came up with a way with just a tape measure. Recently I was able to get a hold of the navy manuals. You need the free Adobe Reader program to use the manuals. You can get the reader here. http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/alternate.html you want the Adobe Reader 6.0.2 full version. Once you have the reader installed go here. http://www.geocities.com/lostcowboy5/weightloss/ One of these days I will put up a web site here, for now I am putting files here so they don't get lost. I will add new files as I find them. 6110_1g.pdf is the US Navy's latest guide for their PHYSICAL READINESS PROGRAM. Page 42 is where they start talking about how to take body measurements to calculate the body fat percentage with. The other manual is the nutrition file.
What a load of Crap, excuse my French, but I just found out that Yahoo is putting a data transfer limit on the files and transferring just one of these files put the site on hold for a hour! So it will take at least two hours for one person to get the two most important files! I got to find another place to put my files!
Hi Ddfridd, Don't worry about the weight! You should be only concerned with body fat percentage! Being that you lost inches we know you are doing good! Back to reading messages, 50 plus to go!
Hi just found your board, I have been thinking of doing a diet board. I still may, will let you know when I complete reading the three hundred plus messages here.
What you are seeing are cookies. Of course when you run each of the spyware programs you need to do a update from inside the program. In SpywareBlaster you have to do a manual update, then click on protection, then under quick tasks click on enable all protection. That should keep the cookies from coming back. It does not remove them, just blocks them by setting up the privacy setting in IE and FireFox. In Spybot, after running the check and removing the cookies, you need to click on Immunize, the popup window should say you are protected, if not click on the green + sign. You should now have two green checkmarks. We need to check on one more setting. This should have been set when you installed Spybot, but lets make sure. Click on mode, select advance mode. You should now see new buttons.Click on Tools, then click on Resident. Both boxes should have checkmarks in them. The top box is for IE's protection. The bottom box is for windows protection. If a program tries to install it's self in the registry, Spybot will show a popup box letting you know, and you have to click yes or no. With that done you can click on mode and go back to default if you want. That should have you set up.
See what that router does!
I would say go with the multi-function printer/scanner thing. That way they can scan old pictures that they don't have negatives for.
Hi Ken, how old is your computer? How fast is it and how much ram memory does it have? I unlogged and stopped my ad blocker so I could get a look at the ads in question. on a web page showing the two ads, according to the task manager I am at 50% CPU usage. I am sure a slower computer would use more resources, which is what I think your problem is.
If you decide to buy a membership the problem will go away, as you will no longer see the ad. Your board will still stay in the free section, and non paying members will still be able to use it.
About not being able to post, make sure you are logged in. In the blue bar you should see logout. If you are not logged in you Will see login. It maybe a good idea to logout, and then login, doing this will renew the cookie on you computer, sometimes they get corrupt. Try this and then we will talk about ad blockers.
I think the newer ones come with a pci card and software. You can set it so that when you lose power, It will shut the computer down normally. Also the ups needs to be matched to your computer and monitor. Being that the UPS is eight years old, it probably cannot put out enough AMPS, or may overdraw the battery's and damage them.
Hi Excel, in your control panel under system, remove the drivers for your sound card, Ether you have a corrupt driver file or a virus. then turn computer off, then start it again, it should detect the sound card and install the drivers, that should fix your sound. You may need the CD for the sound card.
When using anonymizer pro have you sent a hotmail email to yourself? That way you can see what shows up for a IP number.
The House voted 399-1 to approve the bill. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, who often votes against spending measures, cast the lone dissenting vote Tuesday.
I'll have to check on Rep. Ron Paul, that should have been a no brains vote! Maybe there was a rider attached to the bill that he did not like.
Off hand I would say that from your IP number they can get as close as your ISP. Then with a court order, or inside help they could get your name and address. I think a good hacker could break into the ISP, may or may not find your name and address that way. It would be hard, they would have to cross reference several files, I would think.
If the ISP is doing security correctly the IP number would link to a client number, another file would have the client name to client number, Myself I would put that file on a computer that had no links to the internet, may be on a removable hard drive that could be under lock and key when not in use. Use the two man rule when using the file.
For my non critical web sites I use the same password. That way you have less passwords to remember.
The automatic way to delete cookies, is to get a program to do it for you. In all the programs you manually add the web sites that you want cookies from, and they delete all the other cookies. I like WebWasher classic myself, as it can block other ways of tracking you. As with all programs it is best to read the help file, to know what the different settings do. http://www.webwasher.com/ You can find the classic program in the bottom right corner. One thing about WebWasher, it can cause some music players to not display correctly, Both windows media and real player use scripts, if you have WebWasher setup to block scripts, you need to disable WebWasher to use these music players to there full capacity.
Hi spree99, last question first, have you tried SpywareBlaster? it should block most of the tracking cookies from getting on your computer. To get rid of the tracking cookies on your computer.
the manual way to delete the cookies you already have on your computer. Windows Me and less, go to windows/cookies folder and delete the cookies you don't like, keep the ones you want. If you have Windows XP, the quickest way to find your cookies folders is to search for them. There is more than one, the ones of most interest are the (user name)\cookies folder, but you may want to check the other ones.
Also that manual is a very good step by step manual, you need the adobe reader to read it. In the Appendix it explains how to set up windows XP's Ethernet connection.
Ok Ms Penny, at the bottom of this page you have a link to the (preview web based configuration wizard emulator). what that means is it works just like the web based wizard that lives inside your router. you can play with this one with out worrying about losing your connection. Also people trying to help you can see what the wizard looks like. http://www.dlink.com/products/support.asp?pid=6&pv=30 once you know what you want to do you will type in your web browsers address window 192.168.0.1 and go to the real wizard to do the setup. It is best to do the setup on the laptop that is connected to the router by Ethernet cable. As just as soon as you start to change the setting, it will lock out any wireless laptops that don't have the new setting in them.
Hi Don nice to see you up and around. I hope your Florida bungalow and car survived the last hurricane!
Hi Ms Penny, did you say your modem had one antenna? If so you have the C version of the router. We need to know which sub version of the router you have. If your router has two antenna, look at this page and tell us if you have A or B. http://www.dlink.com/products/support.asp?pid=6#quickInstallGuides
Hi Ms Penny, that info was a big help. Here is the web page for your laptop. http://webshop.fujitsupc.com/fpc/Ecommerce/buildseriesbean.do?series=N5 very nice. Indeed it has built in wireless.
Here is your cable modems web page. http://www.terayon.com/tools/static_page/view.html?phase=show&id=1070438557&tool_id=100&...
They were not much help. They prefer to help the cable company, and not the end user. So you get to call your cable company if you need help.
Here is your cable company, http://www.adelphia.com/high_speed_internet/ They should have a support section on the web site, but they don't. Not to worry it justs means you get to call them if need be. But I don't think you will have to do so.
Here is your D link router web site. http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=6 It turns out that there are three different sub models http://www.dlink.com/products/support.asp?pid=6#manual I believe that you have the C version, with only one antenna the other two have two antennas. Find out which one is yours and click on the picture, that will take you to the manual. You should also have the manual on a CD I think.
I found this web page on setting up a Xbox game console, http://www.adelphia.com/high_speed_internet/xbox_gaming.cfm The first part is the same setup instructions as for the router. Turn off the cable modem, (pull the plug). Note this needs to be the same computer that the modem was set up on! Turn off the computer and unplug the Ethernet cable from the computer, connect the Ethernet cable to the WAN connection on the router apply power to the router, then power to the cable modem. The cable modem can take up to ten minutes to reset its self so be patient. Now connect another Ethernet cable from the LAN 1 connection on the router to the computer. Turn on the computer.
You got lucky, the cable modem on powering up sends all those number you were worrying about to the router. Now all we have to do is make sure the router is setup correctly.
The next thing your router manual has you do is start your web browser. Clear the address window and put in http://192.168.0.1 , and press enter. You should get a popup window, asking for your user name and password. Use admin as the user name and leave the password blank, click OK. You are now logged in to your router. Click run wizard. The first thing it has you do is put in a password, be sure to write it down some where, if you ever need to change setting you will need it. Next you set up your time zone. Now the wizard will try to detect your cable modem connection. It should take you to the Dynamic IP address screen. Click the clone mac address, and then next. This should take you to the wireless section to set it up. You need to not use the default set up . Make up a the SSID and change the channel from 6 to some other one. Write down the SSID and channel also select your encryption type. on the next screen you will set up you wireless security. Enable WEP and put a 10 digit hex number in the box, and write the number down. Hex is just a fancy computer number. here is a example 0123456789ABCDF. Where you see an A that means 10, B is 11, C is 12 D is 13, E is 14, and F is 15. That should complete setting the router up. Click next, reset, and close. Now close the web browser and restart it and see if you can get out on the internet. If that works you are now ready to setup the wireless on the other computer. Do the other computer first and then do this computer, that way you can still use the internet. You will need the SSID and channel, and the 10 digit hex number and encryption type, to set up the computer, on the computer, select the control panel and network connection, You want to create a new connection. The wizard should be able to guide you from here. If you get loss, just come back here, and one of the guys should be able to help. I have not done wireless, so I will let one of them help you from here.
Hi Again about wan ip address 90% sure you will not have to worry about it. I am pretty sure your cable modem is setup similar to my DSL modem, if it is less than a year old. When the cable modem was set up they probably put your user name and password in to the modem, and you never have to worry about it unless you need to change it. once we know what OS we can help you find the rest of the info, from the modem. Worst case you will have to call the cable company.
Hi Ms Penny, First let me say I don't have a cable modem, or wireless router so I will let others talk about the details. First we need to know about your present connection. The computer that is connected to the cable modem now. What OS is running on it? Also can you find the name of the modem and model number. There should be a label on it some where. Also can you tell what type of cable is connected to the cable modem, USB or Ethernet. A Ethernet connection looks like a phone connection but is a little wider.
On your D-link router, we need the model number, should be on a label. Also what cable company do you use? The reason is that most of these companies put manuals on there web sites. We can read up on what you have, and be able to help you better.
I believe that may be the old microsoft regcleaner, it is ok for windows 95 and 98. I don't believe it was updated for win ME or XP
Hi Nocona here is the symbol catalog for stockcharts.com. http://stockcharts.com/charts/catalog/09.html Under N they have several charts for Naz100, http://stockcharts.com/charts/catalog/Na.html you can do a search on that page for volatility. I got four, one was $QQV Volatility Index - Nasdaq 100 Trust. That may be what you want. But look at all the other Naz100 charts also.
Hi Ms Penny, What type of D-link did you buy? I think you need some type of wireless cable/DSL router. Also your cable modem, how does it connect to your computer, USB or Ethernet? The best way to connect is from the cable modem to the router. I think that is a hardwire connection, so the connections need to be the same. The instructions should tell you how to set it up. They probably have a install disk for setting up your laptops. You may have to go into the bios on the laptops to turn on the wireless if they have it built in. Your computer should have instructions on that. I believe the 1 PC card is for a PC computer not the laptops. The laptops will ether have wireless built in, or you will need to buy a different type of card for them. If you want both laptops to connect to the internet at the same time you need to have two cards, unless they came with wireless built in.
Hi Cush, should not be a problem. If you are using IE6, click on tools then internet options. Click on the privacy tab. There are several ways to control cookies here. You have the default settings, and you have custom settings. Being that you have used Spywareblaster you are in custom settings. You can click on sites, and add yahoo.com to the allowed sites.
http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/cookies/details.html You may have to add other web sites used by yahoo. Spywareblaster puts sites that it feels are collecting to much info, in the blocked sites list. I believe that list overrides anything else you do with the privacy controls, But I am not sure. You can click on default, and get back the slider control, and play with it. Or you can click on advance, and set up first party and third party settings, there. If you decide to use the advance settings, I would allow first party, and block third party, and put a checkmark in always allowing session cookies. Hope this helps. Found a Los Angeles County web page, that should help. http://www.ladpss.org/help/cookie_ie6.cfm
Hi Bruce, the only problem I have so far is with the new autoupdate program which you have to install before SP2. So far it has not worked correctly I have to go to the site and manually select and install critical updates. I believe the same program is used for manual and autoupdates. I have been reading on the news groups and a lot of people have been having problems getting this program to work right in one or the other mode. one of these days microsoft will get around to fixing it! I have been working with them, trying to troubleshoot the problem. I finally got to the point where the guy I was working with admitted that the problem was not on my computer, and is forwarding my feedback to the programmers. yeppy! Now maybe they will fix the program.
On SP2,The way I am doing it is I am starting from a clean install. I have not installed office at this time so I can not say anything about it. On the new firewall, sometimes it ask to let a program reach the internet and sometimes it don't. I does not ask on the known windows programs, it automatically gives them permission to get on the internet. It allows WebWasher to connect with out asking me. media player is the same. but it blocks automatically all P2P programs, you have to say yes let the program connect. So it seem to be where ZoneAlarm was when it came out a few years ago.
Good point. When you get to that web site start your own message as your hijack list will be different from the other guys. Also you may have other bugs to be found. Once they get you clean you need to run the immunize function in Spybot, and you need to run Spywareblaster. The new Spybot has two stay resident functions that should have been installed when you setup Spybot, it is important to have both of them on when you are flying by strange web sites. If you decide not to use the functions in Spybot then you need to run SpywareGuard, it is a resident program.
In case you were wondering why we have you run so many programs. Spyware/adware is a very hot area right now with new programs coming online constantly. While each program is adding to their list of programs that they can remove on a daily bases, and updating there list weekly or so, you will find that one or the other will be ahead for a while. About SpywareBlaster program, this program does not remove any thing. So what good is it, this program is a blocking type program, it blocks cookies and puts bad web sites into the restricted zone of your IE program, and it blocks activex programs that it knows about. The same programmer made SpywareGuard, SpywareBlaster is passive, you run it about once a week. SpywareGuard is active, it starts with windows. As far as I can tell it does the something as the resident functions in Spybot.
Hi, the way the update site has worked in the past is you won't see any updates that are SP2 related until you install SP2. So any updates you see are ones you need, for what you have on your computer now.
Hi Don, I am not sure where the restore points are kept. I see from your last post that you ran Norton's. Not sure what you should do at this point.
I don't think the System Volume information folder is for you, I think it is for windows only. I think the new file system keeps information in there on the file system. Also you may want to move your information back to the C: drive. Windows works by using a registry file that keeps track of where every thing is, right now that registry file thinks everything is on your c: drive. There is software you can buy to move your installed programs to a new hard drive. Also a lot of new hard drives come with software that will move your system to the new hard drive. But you cannot move a installed program to a new hard drive and expect it to work properly. Best thing to do is move it back, and determine what you want to do, move a installed program, or the whole system to a new hard drive and then find out how to do it.
Yes, I think that was what you wanted to do. Just reinstall on top of the old, and it should not change any of your settings. Remember to backup your hard drive just in case! But you should be ok. The reason we want you to do the backup is none of us have tried going to a new computer in this fashion. The way you normally go to a new computer is install XP and all the software you want on the new computer and then run the file transfer program on the old machine to transfer the data to the new machine. But I feel that this will work. Worst case you will have to run the backup, and do it the regular way.
I can't remember exactly, If I remember right. Say you have windows XP installed in C:\windows. The XP install asks which partition you want to install XP to, Select the C: partition, If I remember right it then discovers that you have a directory called windows and asks do you want to install in that directory or a different directory. I think it also asks if you want to backup your current OS.
The only code that I know of that XP asks during the install should be your product key. It is different for each XP CD, so I can't help you there.
SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard If you have Spybot with both resident programs running, you probably don't need SpywareGuard.
It can do ether, its up to you when you do the install, XP will ask you.
Hi beo, if you are using IE6, click on tools, then internet options, then privacy, then sites. and the site and the block or allow the cookies. Note if you just want to block ad cookies in general I would get SpywareBlaster and run it. It will set up IE to block hundreds of cookies, and other things.
Hi Brainlessone, Let me see if I understand what it is you want to do. You have windows XP and a lot of programs installed in a old computer, and want to upgrade your computer with out hopefully losing data and having to reinstall the programs, and you want XP to recognize all the new hardware such as the new CPU! Wow, this will be going into the unknown, the correct way to do it will be hard to say. So the first thing you will need is a way to backup all your data, and may be the whole hard drive! I hear the Norton ghost program is good, I have never tried any of them so you are on your own there. If you are going to be transferring from a old hard drive to a new hard drive, a lot of the new hard drives come with software and instructions to do the transfer. About XP I know that it will detect new hardware such as sound cards and video cards and install or ask for the drivers for them. I am not sure how well it will work on new motherboards and CPU's. I am not even sure it will be able to start on the new computer, which is why you need to backup all data. When XP was first installed, (if you did a upgrade to XP, or bought the full XP) It had to go online to be activated. It is my understanding that it can do that three times with different hardware, after that you have to call microsoft and talk to them. Note if you are just formatting the hard drive and reinstalling XP to the same computer this does not apply. I have had to do that more than three times, with no problems.
Ok here is what I would do if I was you.
Back up the hard drive!
Go in and change the video adapter to the generic VGA adapter drivers, These are universal and will work with any graphic adapter to get you up and running. Later on you change to the correct one.
Now that that is done you remove the hard drive and install it in the new computer, or transfer the data to a new hard drive if you want to do that. When that is done you want to boot from your cdrom, boot from the XP Cd. Reinstall XP right over its self. it will examine your registry file on the hard drive and should keep all your programs and data. It should find all the new hardware and new CPU, and install all the correct drivers for them, or good enough to get you up and running, the new motherboard should come with a drivers CD which you may need to use ether during the XP install or after. When that is done you should be ok. Keep your fingers crossed!
Hi all, everyone needs to go to Microsoft's update web site and check for critical updates. there are two after SP2! They may effect SP1 computers not sure!
On my computer with SP2 the new autoupdate is not working properly! I have to check manually! Your computer may be the same! http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
Hi all, I just read this on the Langalist today. http://langa.com/index.html I think someone on here may have the same problem.
3) Boot Failure From Power Supply Problem
Hi Fred, Just thought I'd share this in case someone else is
having a similar problem.
A friend's computer was restarting on its own and on the
restart it would not boot and asked for a boot disc to be
inserted. Bottom line is it would not boot until it had ample
time to cool down, usually over night. On Boot-up it would only
run for a few minutes before restarting and asking for the boot
disc again.
When I got over there I managed to get the cpu temp just before
it restarted thinking it was an overheat issue but the temp
reported was only 45 degrees C. While it was running I noticed
that the case fan was rather loud so when it did shut down I
unplugged the fan and the computer rebooted without a hitch. I
replaced the fan and the computer has been running fine ever
since.
Have you ever heard of a case fan crashing a computer? Could
the fan, if it was seizing up draw enough current to "fail" the
power supply? That's my theory. Cheers, Steve
It could indeed be that, Steve; perhaps the stalled fan drew enough power
to prevent the hard drive from spinning up. I'd say replacing the fan was
the right first step: They're cheap and easy to swap out.
But I'd also suggest looking at the power supply. If it's running that
close to the edge, it may be worth replacing too. (In fact, it might even
be the real source of the problem, rather than the fan.)
Most power supplies are held in place with just four screws, so they're
very easy to remove. If you've never done it before, the rats' nest of
wires makes it look complicated, but if you work slowly and carefully,
it's not bad at all.
Most cables are keyed so they can't be plugged in the wrong way, but if
there's a possibility of confusion, use a Sharpie or similar permanent-
ink marker: As you unplug the old cables, put a small dot or arrow on the
plastic of the sockets to remind you which way the original cable was
plugged in. You can also make basic sketches of what goes where, or, if
you have a digital camera, you can use that to easily record where each
plug goes.
Changing the power supply would also give your friend a *great*
opportunity to make his system quieter. see:
