[SIP YEK NOD]

go to control pannel>windows security center. click firewall so the box expands, then click reccomendations. then click the box beside "i have a firewall solution that i'll monitor myself"

 

do the same for virus protection, and it should go away

[Hamburger]

I don't get a recommendation box.

[Waste]

Right Click that icon >> Then click "Open Security Center" >> On the left there will be a "link" that says "Change the way Security Center alerts me" >> Click that and uncheck everything.

[Wolf68k]

If you want to completely kill the Security Center then after you've done what Waste said you can disable the service in the Services controls

Start->Run type: services.msc

Scroll down to the list and look for Security Center and set it to disable.

I have a Logitech Internet Keyboard just like in the pic. When playing games the bastard sometimes refuses such key presses (Plus that annoying beep from the computer): Arrow Down + Arrow Left, Arrow Down + Arrow Up + Arrow Left, CTRL + Arrow Up + Arrow Left. When the right arrow key is pressed instead of the left one, everything is fine.

So basicly any combo of [KEY]+Arrow-Left doesn't work? Is this in games only or any where?

Also if it is in games only; is it all games or select game(s)?

 

I know in GTAVC I can't press 3 keys (anyway where and any 3) at once on my plain keyboard. But in something like BF42 or BFV I can hold W for gas while using the number-pad keys for my flight control, or do things like running forward and straff left or right and jump or reload if need be.

Hmm, well it seems anywhere,'it just refuses to work with 2 random keys + left arrow.

Guess not, only combinations of the arrow keys + the damned left one and a combo of CTRL+ Left arrow+ key.

It's really annoying since I'm so used to my controls and don't really feel like re-assigning them.

 

But is this with ALL programs or just a select game(s)?

In every application known to man.

I have just developed the same problem and with my mouse I get severe mouse lag in Battlefield 2. Any ideas?

A while ago, I downloaded Panda Antivirus, it was OK, but Norton was better, so I decided to uninstall it, but it screwed up on uninstall, and not there is no way to remove it, I tried stopping

O23 - Service: Panda anti-virus service (PAVSRV) - Panda Software - C:\Program Files\Panda Software\Panda Antivirus Platinum\pavsrv51.exe

(

C:\Program Files\Panda Software\Panda Antivirus Platinum\Firewall\PavFires.exe

C:\Program Files\Panda Software\Panda Antivirus Platinum\pavsrv51.exe

) but task manager says I do not have have rights or something ()

Is there a way to stop those processes? And also, Are there any that can be stopped (Itunes I don't use, as well as the

C:\Program Files\MusicMatch\MusicMatch Jukebox\mim.exe

C:\Program Files\MusicMatch\MusicMatch Jukebox\MMDiag.exe

and the MSN messanger start-up?)

 

Lastly, on my taskbar is this

,

is there anyway to remove that completely? (it's on always hide now), because Idon't think I will ever install my modem from my computer.

 

Thanks for any help

go to run in the start menu, and type in "msconfig" go to start-up, and uncheck the sh*t you dont want running(i tunes, msn, panda). then go to services and sort by manufacturer. check anything under the panda company or "unkown" that has to do with the panda program. click ok, and restart.

 

EDIT: only 6 posts until this topic surpases the post your desktop/pc topic it seems there is more bad than good around here

[Fozzy Fozborne]

Thanks a TON Sip, I now have 54 more MB's of RAM (panda sucks the life out of your computer). But, every time I un-check the box for msmsgs, and restart my computer, it re-checks itself. When I go to task manager, it's there, and I can delete stop the process, but it restarts itself automatically. What should I do? Thanks

[memento27oasis]

whenever I try to download videos off firefox my internet freezes.

 

example, I'll try to download or watch a video off ign.com to see if such and such games are good, so I click where I want to save it to, and what to call it, then I click save, then I can hear my harddrive or something in the pc grinding or spinning and then firefox freezes. How can I fix this? It's a brand new version of firefox too.

Noobish question.

 

Alright, what exactly do i need to capture/transfer media from my television.

 

Is there anyway to do it with a DV camcorder? So that i can transfer it to the computer that way.

[memento27oasis]

new q: whenever I put a pic on photobucket.com they re-size it so it's really small, how do I get the real pic in there?

 

also, my laptop is running at 145 degrees farenheit, and feels really hot. Is this something I should worry about? All the reviews for cooling pads for laptops say that they don't really lower the internal temp at all.

Quick question. Do Half-Life 2 and BF2 use OpenGL? Also, does America's Army use Direct3d?

Edited July 1, 2005 by Mafia Righthand_Man

[Wolf68k]

HL2: I don't know but I'm pretty sure that it's Direct3D

BF2: Direct3D

AA: Direct3D

 

None of these games support OpenGL from what I have found.

I recently finished building my new Athlon 64 computer. I was wondering if I could overclock it. I hear the Winchester platform has great overclocking potential with a stock Heatsink. I was thinking about overclocking it to 2 GHZ or if possible a 3200+. If I can then how do I overclock it? I googled it up about it and I have a good general idea of how to overclock it but I was wondering how much I can overclock it with my specific hardware. My Computer speecs are:

 

-Asus A8N-E S939 nForce4 Ultra Mobo

-2x Samsung PC3200 512MB DDR Ram

-AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Winchester 512k

-Enermax 420w PSU

-Asus EN6600 PCI-E 256DDR Video Card

Personally I've always felt, and still do, that overclocking can cause more harm than good. Also that if you going to OC then it's best to get a better heatsink&fan to replace the stock unit.

 

If you look on the ASUS mobo CD there might be some software on there that can help you OC. From what I see on ASUS' site for the A8N-E, it does have OCing features:

 

AI NOS™(Non-delay Overclocking System)

AI Overclocking (intelligent CPU frequency tuner)

ASUS PEG Link

 

Precision Tweaker:

- vDIMM: 9-step DRAM voltage control

- vCore: Adjustable CPU voltage at 0.0125 increment

- SFS (Stepless Frequency Selection): allowing FSB tuning from 200MHz up to 400MHz at 1MHz increment

- PCIe Frequency: allowing PCIe frequency from 100MHz up to 200MHz at 1MHz increment

 

Fixed PCIe/PCI/SATA frequencies.

ASUS C.P.R.(CPU Parameter Recall)

 

Lastly, don't rush the OCing. Take up in baby steps and run some stress test with each step up. Also keep in mind that OCing the chip will cause it to fail a lot sooner than it should.

Okay, I'm getting a graphics card for this piece of sh*t computer, but unfortunally my computer doesn't have an AGP or PCI-E slot. So I'm stuck with getting an old PCI card. I've been looking at newegg, and it seems like the two best cards I could find are the nVidia GeForce FX5500 and the ATi Radeon 9250. Based on the comparison on NewEgg, it looks like the FX5500 is alot better than the Radeon 9250, but I was just wondering what you guys think is better, or if there is a better one that I missed. Thanks.

My friend has the FX5500 and it runs Half Life 2 at medium settings and good framerate. It's a cheap card compared to everything else out there, but it gets the job done. There is slowdown I noticed when he was playing Warcraft 3, when there were like 30 units onscreen at once. Other than that, it's good.

 

If you plan on getting a new/better pc within a years time, the 5500 will hold you down long enough until then. But if you expect to use this gpu for years to come, then you're sh*t out of luck, because either graphics card you posted will look like Oprah Winfrey down the road.

[GameMaster90]

Where can I find a good 128MB PCI graphics card for under $100? I need the name of it, and the best place to find it. Any features are welcome with it, but I just mainly want a good card that will run my games well. Thanks in advance.

[PSXtreme]

SaltonSea, thanks. I'm probably going to go buy that card later today.

 

@GameMaster, the GeForce FX 5500 is $94 at NewEgg, look in my last post for the link.

You realise the link you posted is for a PCI card, right?

PCI != PCI-e

Didn't you read his post? Yes, it's obviously a pci bus slot. Do you know the difference between pci and pci-express?

 

Here's the vid card he's looking at:

Oops.

I read your post instead and thought it was what he said.

[GameMaster90]

I found a SAPPHIRE RADEON 9250 128MB PCI card for my computer on eBay for $25 plus $10 for shipping and handling. Is that a good deal? I'm thinking of buying it. Will it run faster than my GeForce 4 MX440 64mb?

[Dalpura]

Having a bit of a problem with DC++. I always had it set on active mode in connection settings, and for some reason that's decided not to work for some reason now, so I'm stuck using passive mode. Bad thing is, passive mode doesn't seem to connect to some users (other users using passive mode also?). Anyway, my question is, how can I get this to work again? I've been using ZoneAlarm as my firewall since forever, so nothing's changed there. I've asked a couple of people about this, and they tell me I have to open a port and set it in the active connection settings. But I don't believe I can do that with ZoneAlarm (free version by the way). So how would I go about fixing that?
