Hello, Stargazer 1965! Thank you for your kind offer!!! Long-time lurker...I, coincidentally, am having a computer issue when you posted...we have a brand new HP Pav Elite e9150t...from the "get go" it has "blue screened" on us or is freezing...nothing much loaded on it...we sent it in for repair...still happening (not as frequent as before)! Believe it or not it is the second system in a row that has done this...first we purchased one...it "blue screened"/froze...they told us they would exchange it for the e9150t...same situation... There are no real calamities, we don't loose data, but it is highly annoying to keep rebooting...and, at this level of machine...it just shouldn't be doing this!!! What do you think? Thanks in advance!

Blessings!

The dreaded BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!!!!

What operating system??

If a problem follows from one PC to the next....probably a peripheral device you have plugged in ...Scanner...Printer...DVD external

Hello, again, Star.! Thank you so much for getting back to me! Greatly appreciated! It is...drum roll, please...the dreaded Vista 64-bit. Believe it or not (like we explained to HP) we just have the mouse and keyboard that came with the system connected. Until I know what is going on, I do not want to put extras on this, be it hardware, software, files, etc....yikes! In so far as printing is concerned, the setup is via mapped network drives for printers...only way we could get the printing to work (print sharing thing ).

Best regards!

If you can supply me with the model number of the PC...I'll do some digging...but it does sound like the OS..(Vista)

[La Galana]

Surely, Star, the model no. is HP Pavilion Elite e9150t. Please do not go to so much trouble...your opinion or knowledge is enough for me...really. Again, many blessings!

Didn't take much....

The great google gods had a lot to say about your model:

Not real good news....

If you have some local techie guy you trust...may want to go back to XP pro instead of Vista

[La Galana]

Thank you, thank you, Star! I am so very happy and grateful to have received your opinion and help! I kind of expected this. You take good care!

Hello
Please can you tell me how to get a password for the light warriors forum???

Thanks

Can you teach me how to get my hands through the internet in order to choke the life out of virus writers? Our PC is crashed at home due to the latest scam Anti-virus offer. What a slick scam it is. "Wow, your computer is sick with a deadly virus (as everything goes wild on your desktop). Here, quick, buy this software from us, the very people who put the virus on your PC".

I KNOW this could be stopped if they wanted to. Too many people making money from the scams, legit and hackers both.

I am sure there are many more useful ways to spend your time.

To get rid of such infections I recommend ComboFix

You know what...I got this one also...

It was embedded in an AD running on a site I visited.

I got rid of it in about 15 minutes but I don't recommend the methods to a normal user.

I had to run in safe mode...kill a few programs running and edit the registry.

Not pretty....

But I would go with Spregs advice about changing virus scan programs...
I went with Micro Trends AV and the next time that occurred...it blocked it.

Hope this helps....SG

Hello friends,

I am pretty good at embedding youtube videos now.
Thanks to your help. It is much appreciated.

However I wonder how to go about vids I am finding on dailymotion or Vimeo.

For example how to embed this vid here ? :

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/k2Z28HraPtwO1QNNOc

I surrounded k2Z28HraPtwO1QNNOc by brackets and put dailymotion into them with no success.
I then tried with dailymotion.com .. with no success

Love from me

Mudra...the embedded programming on the site only works for you tube...Sorry

I was hoping it would expand also....Peace

[mudra]

Thank you for the info Stargazer.
We can't embed but can still post the links to these other vids.
It's fine .

Blessings and Love for you

Wow...nice thread here...can save us
millions upon zillions of dollars.....

that being said....I have a couple of
questions about this dinosaur I'm running..
or so I've been told....to me its still brand new.

us old timers think when we purchase something
it ought to last at least my lifetime....

I am disheartened with the disposable world we
live in today.

Should I or can I upgrade with a few new cards
I can install or would it not be worth it?

I will await your response and will go look up
all the model number RAM and stuff.....

Thank you.......Namaste.....Freedom

Depends...if it is older than 3 or 4 years we can only (sense) discuss upgrading RAM.

If you for example wish to change the CPU, you also have to change the motherboard and that is practically buying a new PC...etc Also with the change of motherboard also comes the change of slots....and hardware you can or can not connect.

RAM upgrade can make your PC run faster but do not expect too much. You can only upgrade if you have a free slot on your motherboard...or if you replace one of the current inserted sticks with a new one with more memory. Also the new RAM should be of the same type and frequency as the old one.

etc...

or

You can simply invest cca 600EUR into new PC and it will work wonders. Try to get at least 2 year guarantee. If you want to play new PC games and if you want to play all the latest and future to be released games the cost can be 2 to 3 times more.

Do not buy anything from Sony.
Do not buy Vista.
You only need 64bit system if you have more than 4gigs of RAM.
64bit systems tend to have some compatibility problems - not all programs work

If you intend to buy a laptop i recommend Toshiba or Lenovo...price range 1000EUR should get you a nice laptop. Laptops are not intended for games!

Freedom....I usually recommend buying a bare bones system but I have the knowledge to put it together and add the operating system...That runs me about $300 American dollars

If you are a normal user...changing processors...adding memory can be tricky.

You can usually get a netbook at Walley World for around $200

If you have model numbers and the year you purchased the Brontosaurus...I can recommend a path.

Thank You.......

Spregovori and Stargazer1965....

and such a speedy reply too!
but it doesn't sound good.

The truth is I don't want to purchase a new one....

I've said that before...first 8 tracks then albums....here comes cassettes...and I put my foot down as I purchased those CD's and I refuse (ha) to get the MP3....(hate being told what I am suppose to do)

But I am logical enough to know that I can't keep throwing good
money after bad....(that free world better hurry up and get here)

so....I got this in 2000;

Dell Dimension DIM4300 Pentium 4
only 1.60 GHz 640 MB of RAM 32 bit
Microsoft Windows XP service pack 3

I don't play video games and don't think I will...
I do watch a lot of videos and play a bunch of music
(have some nice Harman/Kardon speaker system)
and I take photographs etc......so to me its an over glorified
word processor or typewriter as we called them at one time...
with a TV and Stereo too boot......

And I don't know squat about them but could install new cards
and boards as I have been inside them before...but other than
that and throwing in a disc or two or hollering for some help....

I would like a new computer but I don't like Wally world at all
avoid them like the plague....and I like my big screen....hate all
the cords everywhere! So I guess I could be a candidate for a
new laptop...its just not high on the list right now so if it could
wait for another year that might be better.....

My biggest question is I have all this wonderful stuff saved on my
computer and I would hate to loose it....what can I do and is it easy
to transfer?

Thanks guys.....much respect for your being brainiacs....
much LOVE and many BLESSINGS for you......Freedom
