Ask Ravi

[andy]

Ravi,
I cannot get my XP icons transparent. I had a deal called SpySheriff on my computer, and the in depth removal guide had me go in to regedit, and delete some keys under a branch called "Active Desktop," and I believe that may be the cause.

Any solution?

 

[andy]

Never mind; I fixed it.

I have another problem. Like I said, I had a thing called SpySheriff on my computer, which is in fact the opposite of a spyware removal program, and it's been giving me hell.

Yesterday, I thought I removed it completely. I used Ad-Aware, and followed instructions online.

I still, however, have an icon in my system tray called Windows Security Alert, and it tells me I have spyware. I got rid of all of it!!!

Help.

Try downloading and running the microsoft beta spyware remover. It works pretty good. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en

You probably still have something in your registry and that's why it is coming back after you've removed it.

 

[Sir_Garland]

I did a google for spysheriff removal and found this. Hopefully this will help.

Andy, Microsoft has and anti-spyware removal tool for free. Did you try that? It removed everything for me.

Any ideas on what I can use to upload a video/audio clip? Is there any practical method? The clip is on a VHS tape. I'm after the music so it doesn't really matter if I can get video portion.


Stoopid Olympics and its good music. <_<

I have no idea on your end, but if you can't find a way to do it just send it to me and I can upload it.

Ravi,

How many times will I prove my weight in gold? And how many times over? Will I ever get this gold?

Use a RCA cable to connect the Audio Line-Out from the VCR to the Line-In on the back of your computer. You can use the Sound Recorder on the computer to record the audio.

Or you can send it to Melissa.

Is that the same cable you hook up to your VCR if you're taping from tape to tape?


I know nothing! :leela:

 

[cultclassic]

Yes, cable that look this:

Usually, the line-in of your computer's sound card is like a headphone jack. So you'll need a converter like this:

You can get this at a Radio Shack or even WalMart for a couple of bucks.

So you plug the cable to the Audio Left and Right ( Red and White ) jacks on the VCR, connect the other end to the converter, and plug the converter to the back of the computer.

 

[leone]

I looked in the back and the only place it looks like it'll fit into is the mic space. Is that right?

 

[cultclassic]

Post a picture. It may have a different kind of jack.

 

[leone]

Too blurry?

 

[cultclassic]

Does the blue hole has a music note with arrow pointing inwards? Then that's Line-in.
