If you have a limited budget then please tell us what the limit is so we can make some recommendations. If you are on a very limited budget then just warranty the card - why pay when you can replace that free of charge? I see little point in buying a newer card if you rarely play intensive games or intend to in the near future.

Sounds like your monitor has an option somewhere to display both S-Video and VGA/DVI inputs simultaneously. The fix for this will probably be ON your monitor not within the system, turn your PC on so you have something on your screen, the monitor must have some buttons for a menu as they usually all do, have a look about in the menu using the buttons and see if you can turn it off. There might even be an "input" button you can just press a few times to fix it.

If the PHP page exists, won't that script try and include the HTML page that won't exist? If I pass index.php?page=mypage and mypage.php exists, but mypage.html does not, this script will see mypage.php exists and then try to include mypage.html, which doesn't exist, so it needs a little work. A note if this code is to be placed inside index.php itself : The code is a bit inconsistent (not your fault since the OP makes it look like the code wouldn't be included in index.php but it probably will be), in the first instance you decided the variable "page" would be just the name of the file without extension. Further down in your error compensation code you've set page to "news.html" which would cause an endless loop. You also don't want to be including index.php within itself. We also need to declare the variable $page as equal to our GET. @ OP, if this code is for your index.php page, then this may work a little better : <?php if(isset($_GET['page']) && $_GET['page'] != "") { $page = $_GET['page']; if (file_exists('pages/'.$page.'.html')) { include ('pages/'.$page.'.html'); } elseif (file_exists('pages/'.$page.'.php')) { include ('pages/'.$page.'.php'); } else { include('pages/error.html'); } } else { include('pages/news.html'); } ?>

But it's your choice about whether to make them suffer your crap or not. This is called markup by the way, not programming, and the iFrame code you've posted should work, but probably not on many profile sites since allowing the full use of HTML would mean you could do a lot of things they wouldn't like.

That's the difficulty that I'm having, I can't find where the updates are put. I did run an AVG, Ad-Aware SE, and Spybot - Search & Destroy scan in safe mode to cover all my bases... What else can I do if by chance it isn't the security update? I'm not sure that my computer ever came with Windows discs so I can't exactly repair it or reformat it or whatnot. First off try what Cruiser said as he's correct in how to display the updates. Secondly, if your PC came with Windows then you own the licence for that Windows copy (providing it's legal, but if it was pre-installed that's the vendor's problem not yours), and I'm pretty sure you hve a legal right to have an install or recovery disc. I would see whoever sold you the PC and push them a bit for one even if you don't use it.

Yeah missed it. Never mind. ;)

NOD32 is not a firewall, only antivirus. You sure you aren't Swedish? I moved to F-secure from Norton this year and have been incredibly impressed by the speed of scanning, the accurate detection of any problems and the frequent alerts and updates on their official site keeping me updated. And yeah, F-Secure have impressed me as well.

This part of your post actually made me laugh. You realise it's nVidia right? Nivada sounds like a band or something. And no, AMD/ATi won't be dying any time soon.

I currently have F-Secure Internet Security '08 on this machine and '07 before that. Never had an issue or even heard of this one before. :?

If you get a crossover cable you can connect the ethernet ports of the two computers directly. The more expensive option is to buy a router and connect both PCs into there via ethernet. The other option (you didn't want), is wireless, and a fourth option is an ethernet-like USB cable that allows you to connect the two computers ( like this one : http://www.techfocus.co.uk/pages/produc ... e%5Ftest=1 ). However, if you already have a router (a routing device with more than one ethernet port in the back, and connected to your modem), then you can just plug your laptop directly into there via ethernet.

VLC is self-contained and will play XviD/DivX encoded files without a codec. There's actually very few files that VLC can't play. I'd recommend getting the K-Lite Codec Pack to see if WMP can play it after installation. http://www.free-codecs.com/K_Lite_Codec ... wnload.htm

Problems like this are exactly the reason you should never EVER keep you data on a USB disk alone.

That's exactly what it is. Get some display drivers and you should be sorted.

I run dual monitors too but both from a PCI-E GFX Card - as far as I know there's no way to run from both onboard and "off-board" graphics, you need either two dedicated graphics cards with an output each, or a single graphics card with two outputs.

Why not try switching to a different DNS server? OpenDNS is a free alternative and probably better than your ISP's.

Sadly both me and my dad were stumped when we were building my machine on this part. The motherboard wouldn't line up and we had no idea why, man we felt stupid when we found out what the cause was. :lol: I did that on my very first rig, somehow it caught fire :cry: It probably made your case into one giant motherboard. :lol: Can you imagine if the backplate was conductive (which it probably was if it caught fire)!

I was thinking the same thing at first but I presume he did as he said it fits the slots in the back perfectly, this was my first thought as it would make the motherboard too low to get the cards in. I asked for a picture just for some further clarification before I posted it. :

PC cases are a standard size - is it possible you could take a picture of this? I think I know what you mean but it would make it far easier for us to help.

A Linux sticky has it's pros and cons. The pros are generally that getting general advice on Linux would be much easier, the problem being that this tempts more users to try Linux. Now, don't hear what I'm not saying, but the regular user who jumps in and thinks "omfg what's linux i want it" is not the kind of person we want to encourage to run Linux. Simply because of the fact that they'll have a much harder time with it than with Windows, and will probably spend more of their time here asking questions than they will actually using the operating system for anything other than... posting here. I've already seen a few examples of people running Linux who just probably shouldn't be, asking what should be the simplest of questions for people who have gone ahead and installed an OS, and sometimes it really does just make you think - "Why do you even have Linux if you don't know that?". A Linux sticky would only be a good idea if the first post in it had some clearly laid out warnings in it, for newer users. Oh, and Mac doesn't need a sticky, everything is just so easy to do right out of the box that no-one will ever have any support questions... or so the commercials lead me to believe.

Ugh @ Centrino - that's the cheap line of processors. Should have got yourself a Core2 Duo setup.

Unless you downloaded something (and I can't spot anything to download on the site at first glance), you will not have got a keylogger from there.

I know that but to be honest I forgot to take it out - I took the code from a few posts above and forgot about the e-mail validation. Not really sure where he's running it from either, OP didn't specify.
