Wrong Forum I though
Try contacting Runescape or the paybyX people. I have no idea, I've used paybycash (which btw is NOT reliable), paybyphone (which costs much more), and paypal... so I won't be able to help you.

RANDOMLY RESTARTS!
Well all three of those have one thing in common, and that is they are a form of media. Going to a myspace page usually starts a radio / video that someone has posted on their page. WMP... thats self explainitory, and trying to watch a PK video would bring up WMP. It might be that you have the wrong drivers installed for your video card, sound card, or motherboard. Though I doubt that. Do you play any graphically advanced games like BF2, Fear, HL2, anything like that? It could be that your power supply is junk, and when your video card asks for more power the computer simply can't handle it and restarts. But like we've told you about 10 times now, take the case off, put a fan near it. You have to rule things out one at a time. No sense in taking your car to a mechanic if you've simply run out of gas and just don't realize it.

Best way to self teach a programming language?
Well I've read several books myself, and each time I never really learn a darn thing from them. The easiest way I would have to say for me to learn was just trial and error. I didn't make a problem to solve, or have a program with any particular purpose. I just sat down, looked through a few other peoples code and thought "hmm what does this do" or I'd flip through the book, find a random command and say okay, what can I do with this, how does it work, what variables or statements can I apply to it and just kind of wing it. At times it can be frustrating because in reality you have no clue what the heck your doing, but it sure won't make you forget it.

Windows XP to be discontinued in early 2008
Thats fine with me, as long as they keep releasing hotfixes / updates

Overclocking
I was thinking the same thing. The difference you would see after overclocking would be so minute it's really not worth the risk of possibly frying the CPU, and even if you don't overheat it, over clocking generally takes its toll on the over all lifetime of a CPU (even though they generally wont put up much fuss or die in any reasonable ammount of time)

video converter
videomach can do this. It's very simple and free. Alternativly you could try the free trial of song vegas video. It's bulky, but its the photoshop of video editing.

RANDOMLY RESTARTS!
It hasn't been just this weekend or something, this has been happening for months. It usually restarts when I try to view a irl friends myspace page, after I download a PK video and am getting ready to watch it, most of the times I have nothing else open because of this and it still happens. How old is the computer and how long does it run before it restarts? If its been happening for month's thats really bad. If it is because its overheating I would recommend using it as little as possible until you get it fixed other wise your likely to cause permanent damage. The reason it would be restarting in the first place is to prevent damage from getting too hot

Internet speed / time - relation
Funny, I've always heard that cable is the one that slows down when many are on... I've never really had my DSL line slow down any, no matter what time of day I'm on Cable gets slow based on number of users sharing it DSL gets slower as you get further and further from the main server. It is most likely your ISP. You could always call up and complain. I had 6 friends that lived within 4 blocks of each other - every night around 8:00 they would randomly lag a ton, which was bad for them considering they usually scheduled their matchs for an online league around 8 or 9. Eventually they complained enough that the ISP fixed the issue, and now everybodies happy :D

Having problems with NFS Carbon and Most Wanted...
Usually you'd see this problem when a game was written for MSDOS or in QB... this was because back then the timers depended on the speed of a processor, so now sometimes you will try to play a classic game and you can't control it because in a split second something will happen that should have taken 30 seconds 15 years ago. Games then started adding features so you could set what speed processor you had, and you could tweak it accordingly. I'm not sure what your issue may be - but can I ask if your playing single player or multiplayer? If your playing online, it could actually be lag. With some games, if a packet (information) is "dropped" or lost, it will resend that packet multiple times. For instance, when I play BF2, if I lag for a second, and during that second I told my plane to turn 5 degrees, it will resend that packet 10 times. Instead of turning 5 degrees, I turn 50 (which beleive me is quite annoying) eh, just food for thought.

Does Runescape use rapid moving frames?
To elaborate a little more, a monitor has a refresh rate. It is the refresh rate that you see when you video tape a computer monitor. The video camera might be capturing 25 FPS, while the monitor is refreshing at 60 FPS. The difference in the frame rate is what causes the scrolling lines to show up. So to answer your question - yes, RS uses moving frames. In fact, even if your just staring at your desktop or a white pallet in MS Paint, your screen is constantly being updated thousands of times a minute, even though you might not noticbly see it. With older CRT monitors running at slower frame rates, some times if you set them across a dimly lit room, and look at them on an angle, you can actually see the screens refresh rate (noticed this at a lot of LAN parties I use to go to, very distracting lol)

~Having trouble finding relevent Tutorials~ :wall:
You could switch to VB :D Well I can't actually help you sorry to say. I have learned QBasic, C++, and Java... right now I am teaching myself visual basic, but let me tell you I HATE C++ so much of C++ is completely illogical and rediculous. Qbasic was a ton of fun, visual basic really builds off what I learned in QB so its pretty easy. Java was much like C++ with the sporatic random brackets all over, I dunno, just me ranting.

RANDOMLY RESTARTS!
Do you know how to get into your BIOS? 9 out of 10 times when a computer is randomly restarting it's because of overheating. If you can get into your bios and check your PC health you could see if it is running too hot. Other wise a pretty simple trick is to just take the case off of your computer, and see if it stops restarting. If it does, you know the what the problem is and a simple solution would to be to buy a few check case fans, or alternativly get a new heatsink. If simply taking the case off doesn't work, you could take it one step further and put a floor fan near the computer. If it isn't being cause by over heating, it generally is either faulty RAM or a bad PSU, but first things first; go down the list one at a time before ruling anything out.

Vista? Yes or No? And help
I have 1 gig of 333 mhz RAM... It runs xp flawlessly, you don't need an uber computer to do so, infact... I don't even know the specs of my other computer or my laptop because I rarely use them for more then extra storage, but I can tell you right now that they both run XP, and are both utter junk in terms of hardware. As far as vista goes... I hate it. My friend bought it, and downgraded back to xp pro. My sister's mother inlaw has a computer running vista, I had to do some networking on her computer... it was a pain in the keester. This is just my personal opinion, but for the next X years, until microsoft gets the user-friendly issues, the RAM hog issues (as if 30+ meg's isnt enough) , and the annoying flaws worked out, I'll be keeping my XP up to date, thank you very much.

VB.net code
I was toying in VB.net - in the program I am making, at the form load event, I ask for the user to enter a password. If they try more then 3 times, it will exit on them. private sub load() end sub if I replace the me.close with an end, I avoid this problem... but it'd still be nice to know whats causing it for future reference. Any clue? EDIT: Never mind, working now, had to nest the If statements. More importantly though - can anyone explain to me how I could enable the user to click a button and have a file open... for instance if they click "open text.txt" it will open the file named text.txt in the containing folders directory??

COMPUTER KEEPS RESTARTING!
If it isnt overheating, it could be a PSU problem or your RAM may be bad. Does it just turn off, or do you get any form of error message / blue screen of death before it shuts off / when it starts back up. Your best off checking your BIOS right after it shuts off to see what temp your CPU is running at

AGP video card recommendations
I have a 7600GT and an FX5700, both AGP. As far as quality and frame rate go, you can't tell the difference at all, I'm not even kidding.I was extremely dissapointed, and a little mad that I wasted $120 or so

Request for hosting a very large file (650 MB)
Did you even use a codec? If you left it as uncompressed its going to be massive. Other things you can do is to make the dimensions smaller, ex: 640:480 rather then 800:600, use divx codecs and find a good balance between quality and compression, and trim unneeded boring parts out of the video. If its a 650mb file, and its not at least 18 minutes long++, I wouldn't download it. Places you can upload it to are things like megaupload or rapidshare... theres more, probably like 8 or so... but I can't remember them off the top of my head. Otherwise, just torrent it.
