Oh it's listed alright. Model and serial # are listed as a computer sold by a refurbisher and reseller through ebay. All very true cos that's where and who I bought it from. They also say that such computers aren't their problem. <_<

:angry: that's dell allright....... i myself hate dell cuz they're always like that and honestly id rather pay a bit more and have a very good quality and support (toshiba for example) rather than, when yourt hd's broke and you call they make you wait a week and then some dude comes and replaces the hd and leaves WITHOUT INSTALLING ANYTHING.....so your winxp that came with your purchase=lost; you have to buy a new one....

Ok. Thanks Ravi.

I'll give it a try when I get around to creating a bogus but seemingly valid batch of personal info for their "FREE" signup.

did that work fitz?

 

[givemfitz]

Meh. I've never gotten around to trying it. I honestly think it's a DOS thing. It only happens when I first turn on my computer the Dell and Windows logo screens aren't full size and this one DOS game that I have does the same thing. It's like a stratego kind of game. Real old Soleau and the map of the imaginary world that you have to conquer won't go full size.
Everything else is fine. *shrugs*
I'v gone into DOS and tried to change the size but all I manage to do is make it even smaller including the borders. :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[ravyn]

are you actually in dos or shellin out, if you are shellin out change your enviornment variable to 16 or 32 bit

 

[givemfitz]

Ummmmm How much to fix this? :lol: :lol:

 

[Sir_Garland]

Niiiiice!! Do you think it's photo-shopped?

 

[givemfitz]

Nope. I don't think so. But I could be wrong as the thought did cross my mind at first.

 

[Sir_Garland]

It may not be. I just thought something about it looked a little strage. See, that's the kind of calls I get. Like they will call say that their computer is not working. And you're like "what's it doing?"
"Nothing."
"Okay, how is it not working?"
"Nothings coming up on the screen."
"Is your computer turned on?" (This lasts for like an hour)
Then you say, " Okay, when's the last time this worked."
"Yesterday."
"Okay, what happened between yesterday and today that was different with your computer. "
"Nothing."
"Okay, so there was nothing different that happened in your office yesterday?"
"Well, there was this fire and the back half of my computer is melted but it was working fine yesterday. "

I use WinAVI. It's not free, but it's worth the price. It's the fastest converter i have ever used. It can convert almost all formats. To and fro from DVD, VCD, mpg, avi, rm, mov, you name it!

WinAVI cant convert copy protected DVDs, so I use AnyDVD to break the protection. AnyDVD works as a driver in the background, and makes the DVD seem unprotected to any other program. Really cool!

I'm having a problem with iTunes. Every time I search for an artist, the results show up but I can't see them. Sounds weird, I know. Example

Now, I've tried searching for several artists, whose songs are definitely available on iTunes. But I still see the fields like in the pic.

Anything I can do to fix it?

 

[leone]

Nevermind, I fixed it. k:

 

[cultclassic]

what was the problem?

 

[drizzt_fan14]
