I used that system recovery thing, my system is back to the state it was when I bought it, before that I copied my files to cds, everything seemed to be fine. I have all of the audios I copied but the school folder got lost, I had everything from all of my current and past courses, it's a pain in the ass to loose it.

 

I know there's not way for me to find these files on the cds, I am sure I burned that folder correctly. So, my question is...any way to get back the files I once had on my hard disk? Sounds kinda magic to me but yeah, maybe magic exists.

There are some recovery programms arround. I would recommended Recuva. Just let it run and scan your harddisk and see what it finds you can check/uncheck what you want to recover. But don't expect too much. And it will probably be a huge mess.

TaeYuSu Oppa what is the best virus protection since I know you will answer me while the rest of the tech mods act like stuck up assholes.

Are you going for a free or paid one?

Either paid

Paid :

I got ESET myself and it's perfectly doing it's job.

Kaspersky is really good aswell. Same goes for Bitdefender.

Never pick Norton it only comes with alot of crap which is really hard to get deleted from your PC. And Norton only annoys the shit out of you blocking everything.

 

Free :

Either pick Avast or Avira.

AVG isn't that good anymore nowadays.

There is also a microsoft virus scanner, Microsoft Security Essentials, but that isn't that good aswell.

 

So if you choose paid i would either go for Kaspersky or Bitdefender.

And if you choose a free version go for Avast or Avira.

And those free versions also have paid versions so if you pick them and want them to be more advanced you can always pay to upgrade them later to a full/better version.

Jordy oppa, what made you a tech genius. Tell me your secret.

I am not a tech genius (yet). I'm still at school learning to become a software developer. So yeah im quite interested in learning all those tech stuff. Plus i like to play with the settings or just go on a trip within my computer or build a pc myself.

How to at least decrease my laptop temperature? I've been using the cooler or fan, but it seems not really working.

I had this with my laptop aswell, i had to use a laptop cooler 24/7 or else it would just get really hot and randomly goes off.

Well you can try to open your laptop and vacuum the inside but if you don't know how to do this, im not sure if it will be smart.

I use it all the time too, nothing really happened. OTL I'm using Acer. People said that Acer easily gets hot.

I won't dare to try that. Yet.

Hmm all laptops get really hot if there is dust inside, which i guess there is.
Well the only solution is trying to get the inside cleaned, i just stopped using my laptop got a PC now.

Any other way to clean the dust without actually open my laptop?

Well you could try it with a Compressed Air Can / Air Duster or a vacuum cleaner. On the side where the fan is/heat is.

Don't know if this will have any effect tho.

Ola.

 

So these days Windows Live Movie maker shows a black screen whenever I try to play a video (the audio works)

I did some googling and I did the following
- Downloaded Microsoft Fix It but it said I had no problems

-Then I downloaded some program called 285.79 (Nvidia) but it said it couldn't be installed beause they couldn't detect a Graphic Video card (literally translated from Dutch if TYS is reading:

[spoiler]0jNgARt.png" />[/spoiler]

 

I don't know what to do and I'm clueless. So I checked this:

I checked DirectX and still no problems?

Whatever reason its not playin is probably the same reason why VINE videos don't work for me :|

Weet je welke videokaart je hebt ?

Hmm probeer je videokaart is te updaten

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx

 

Hmm zelf weet ik niet zo veel hiervan maar het kan aan codecs liggen, deed windows movie maker het al nooit?

Codec pack :

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/k_lite_codec_pack.htm

 

En vine werkt niet welke browser gebruik je?

Firefox, Chrome?

Al gebruik je firefox kan je flash proberen uptedaten

Chrome heeft ingebouwde flash dus als je chrome hebt kan het niet aan je flashplayer liggen.

Misschien ook de codecs wat lijkt me niet echt.

 

blegh typen in nederlands is drama

Does this happen with every video you try in WMM or only like .tp or .ts .or .mp4 or a certain extension. or maybe only by big files like 500mb + and 50mb files work perfectly?

 

and the basic or standard one should be good enough.

It happens with every video I try, even WMA videos.

 

I installed the basic one... what do I do now? 

That should be enough.

Try updating your flash player aswell after that just reboot your pc and try again.

If it still doesnt work go to device manager and try to rightclick your videocard and update it through internet

if it all doesnt work idk tbh.

s4a should know more about this stuff

I just finished a torrent download and suddenly the words "Flushing to disk" appeared

 

After that, I tried clicking on it and then uTorrent just froze up. I waited for like 10 minutes but it's still the same.

 

Now everytime I open up uTorrent, it just freezes after like 5 seconds. Help?

Try to download a older or either a newer version of Utorrent.

I don't wanna spend a ridiculous amount.  I wanna say that I don't wanna exceed 500 USD.
 
We do use the desktop for gaming.  Don't know if it'd be considered hardcore.  We've got The Sims 2 and some extensions for it.  So a desktop that could accommodate those type of games would be nice.
 
 
Is that good or do I need provide more info?

i have this one AMD X4 II 965 3,4ghz its arround 90$ - 140$
But yeah intel is better but also more expensive, an i3 with 3,3ghz 110$ - 150$
an i3 with 3,4ghz 130$ - 180$
an i5 with 3ghz 170$ - 220$

but yeah if you only play sims and those kinds of games you can go even cheaper on the cpu.
you already have a list of what you want?

List of what it is I want the processor to do or something else?  I'm sorry.  It's coming off kinda vague for me.  =___=

 

But thank you for the suggestions.~

You wanna buy a pc or build one. i guess the first. idk i thought maybe you already found some pcs on internet for example in your price range you'd like.

rather weird question, but how can one of my laptop can connect the wifi and get a stable internet connection while the other get "no internet connection" while connected to the same wifi network (plus the signal keep dropping in this laptop). I have been using both and usually it's no problem.[/size]
 
any idea why?

it maybe because of some settings in the router.
it is password protected so yes with what encryption?
do you live in a high populated neighbourhood with alot of routers? you may want to switch the routers channel.
try turning it off and waiting 30 sec and turning it on again.
what router do u have btw
