  1. Fixed.... kinda.

    I took a 21 inch monitor early this morning before the others at work needed it.

     

    Why kinda?

    Well now I just get a desktop and no logon. so I cant change it back to the resolution I need.....

     

    Sigh.. I'll just let it sit for a while and see what happens.


  2. Ugh....

     

    I cant do any of that.

     

    When the computer boots into windows, it changes the resolution from the one being displayed while the system boots to the windows resolution, which, cannot be displayed. So, I cant see anything. it just says the source is out of range.... basically, the test screen type deal that comes up when your monitor is on but not plugged into the computer.

     

     

    I need to boot the computer w/ it loading it at the shitty default 640x480 w/ 16 colors.


  3. On one of the computers here at work I changed the resolution to one that the monitor couldnt display. Well it never went back so now every time I start up the comptuer and get into windows the screen goes blank and displays one of those 'out of scan range' errors.

     

    How do I get in safemode?

     

    when I load up the computer I have the option of going into windows nt 4.0 and windows nt 4.0 [vga]. I always select the first one. How do I make that one load up in safemode so I can change the resolution back to normal?

     

    Thanks.

  5. So... I got the program.... check out the drives.... everything is there... EXCEPT FOR THE FILES I WANTED!

     

    I needed to get the files in my moms profile (IE favorites and my documents) but, they were the only files not there.)

     

    WTF ;( ;( ;( frown


  6. A harddrive on my mothers computer failed. Basically she told me that when she came back from stand by the computer said the same message I see every time I boot. "A disk error occured. Press ctrl+alt+del).

     

    I fiddled with it. restarted, took it out, put it back in. nothing. I figured it was done so I bought a new hardrive, installed xp and then went about seeing if I could get xp to reconize the drive. Well, the drive shows up but when you click on it it says its corrupt.

     

    Well. I would imagine that SOME of the drive is fucked up, but not the whole damn thing. So, is there any way to get any information back that was on the drive? Are there any probing tools that will help me to get into the drive and extract whats left or is it done?

     

    I feel so bad. My mom paid all this money to get ancestry shit and has been working on it for so long and BAM the shits done. I told her to back up but I dont think she really knows how. frown

     

    Help! frownfrownfrown


  7. I have a few questions about duel monitor output.

     

    Here is what I want.

     

    I want my monitor to be my primary desktop. I want my tv to be my secondary desktop. I can do this fine but when I try to watch any video or movie on the tv the window just shows up black w/o the video feed.

     

    Now, if I clone my monitor with the nvidia Nview stuff I can see my desktop on both screens and I am able to watch the movie on the tv.

     

    But thats not what I want. I want to watch the movie on the tv and watch still use the computer on my monitor.

     

    How do I do this?

     

    I have windows xp and a geforce 4 w/ analog, digital, and s-video out with the latest nvidia drivers.


  8. I have 4 mapped drives on my computer that I use often from my school. I am stuck in a shitty building far away from the servers so the latancy is extreamly high. Whenever I view my computer, the system hangs for a while, sometimes it's VERY annoying.

     

    Is there away to keep the drives mapped but have them not look up the drive size and other information so I can simply open up my computer w/o having to pull information from the drives every damn time?

     

    Thanks! laugh


  9. Ok, to clear up some confusion here is what I have....

    First off, I just bought a 120 gig drive because my main 40 gig drive broke... so here is how I have everything layed out

     

    120 gig drive

    +20 gig - primary - system

    +100 gig - logical - files and backup

     

    80 gig drive

    +10 gig - primary - was going to be system, bur currently blank

    +10 gig - logical - games

    +60 gig - logical - Storage of digital pictures and other files

     

    I want my two 10 gig partitions on the 80 gig drive to be one 20 gig drive.
