On my older computer (a Dell that runs Windows 98), I keep getting invalid page fault errors. Several occur after Windows has loaded:
YOP (that's Yahoo Online Protection)
rundll32
and something called autodown

It also occurs when I startup Internet Explorer, I get that program error message asking me if I want to send data to Microsoft and then the program crashes. I can't access the Internet even though I'm connected.

All the errors say that the program caused an invalid page fault error at module "unknown"

I've tried running anti-virus (AVG) and Ad-aware... I have that computer networked with this one (running Windows XP) and sharing a DSL connection. After some issues in the beginning, I finally got the network up and running so I've been using this computer to download the antivirus programs so I can run them on the other one since I can't get IE to work there at all.
Another thing that may or may not be related: if I uncheck automatically detect settings under LAN settings in internet options, then IE doesn't crash, but the pages won't load.


I'm also having a small, unrelated issue on this computer (the windows XP one). I can't get the internet options setting for "never dial a connection" to stick. I have DSL, so I'm always connected, but certain sites make the dial a connection box pop up. And when I head back to internet options, the "dial whenever a network connection is not present" option is checked off.


Any help or suggestions are much appreciated! I've tried Dell's support website as well as Microsoft's and Googled 'til I couldn't see straight, but I haven't come up with any solutions for my problem.



EDIT: got the first problem solved - uninstalled Yahoo Online Protection and that did the trick!! Still can't figure out what's causing the never dial a connection setting to change. It's frustrating, but I figure it should go away once I delete my AOL account.

Hi folks,

Can anyone recommend a program for benchmarking hard disk speed in Windows? I know I can check Google, but I'm after personal recommendations.

I thought Nero had a tool for this, but having checked in 6.6 I can only see tools for checking the speed of CD and DVD drives.

On another topic, has anyone upgraded to Nero 7? Is it any better, or just bloated with more useless features?

TIA

I'm looking for a web resource that has shortcut sheets or cheat sheets for software, specifically QuarkExpress 6.5 and/or InDesign. I've googled for this program and other programs before, but I can never find what I'm looking for. Anyone know of some offhand?? Thanks!!!

I would like to build a site using php that has several repeated elements (headers, footers, menu) that appear on every page, with only the central content and some of the styling (to highlight menu items) changing.

It works well so far, but a friend tells me that this method is less search-friendly than coding out each individual page and that it will be ignored by Google. Is this true?

Also, give then common-template model, is it better to:

1. Load all pages from a single php file with page-specific content in individual functions


2. Load each page with its own content and use includes for common elements


3. Have a central controlling php file that assembles each page by includes from a separate file for each part (header, content, footer, etc)


4. Make each page a complete static unit with duplicate headers, footers, etc identical to other pages.

I just upgraded to Firefox 1.5 here at work, and I'm still having trouble with sites like mapquest, yahoo and google maps. The maps either don't fully load, or clicking to zoom in/out does not work. I first noticed this after I installed a flash block extension, but it's still troubling me, even though I have removed it. Does anybody have any ideas what the problem may be?

I'm using it on a Win2K machine.

Hi!

I have encountered something strange here using Google and Firefox 1.5. Whenever I'm trying to search for something which contains the word "forum" I get this message:

We're sorry...

... but we can't process your request right now. A computer virus or spyware application is sending us automated requests, and it appears that your computer or network has been infected.

We'll restore your access as quickly as possible, so try again soon. In the meantime, you might want to run a virus checker or spyware remover to make sure that your computer is free of viruses and other spurious software.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope we'll see you again on Google.

I have tried it in IE 6 and Opera 7, but I don't get this message using them. What is this? I have scanned my system already for Spyware, but there was nothing major. But I haven't checked for Viruses yet, because it takes long. Well, AntiVir didn't notice anything as I have started (it checks the memory and current processes).

Does anyone else gets this message?

-------------
EDIT:

It seems I'm not the only one who had this problem: Thread in the german Firefox support forum. Now I have cleared the cache and history... and guess what? It works now! :D

But, still, it was somewhat confusing.

i'd like to add a calendar to my site. it doesn't need to be editable by visitors to the page, only by me.. but it does need to have functionality that would allow visitors to flip through different months and see what days i'm available. ideally it could also be colorcoded based on different categories (completely available, someone has requested me but nothing is confirmed, not at all available.)

i have come to ask the experts if you know a useful app for this purpose. i'm definitely not a true webdev person... i only know basic html and a little sql/javascript/etc. i googled, but most of the results were for calendars which remain on the site of the calendar's creator (e.g. calendar.yahoo.com) vs. ones which could integrate into my own site's design.

(to give you an idea of my preferences, some of my favorite web-based tools are flickr, allconsuming.net (and 43 things), dodgeball, yelp, etc.)

any advice would be greatly appreciated =]

I would like to automatically update my homepage with a list of bookmarks that I find while I surf the net. It should be as simple as clicking a button on my browser such as "Link This!" whenever I find a webpage I like. And a window like this appears for me to add information:



Categories can be added and customized.

The link that is added will be automatically reflected on a webpage.

Does anyone know how this is accomplished? Or what should I google for more information? Is this PHP?

Many thanx for any help! :)

Edit: Problem solved! Thank you!

iFrames.

What do you think? Last time I remember hearing about them, they were supported only by IE, and were mostly pretty unstable. A quick google around tells me that they seem to be supported by most browsers now. Is that true?

What are your experiences? Are they stable, or do they fall apart at the slightest hint of incompatability? Are there any real features/benefits to using them over other methods? Do they manage to get over the disadvantages of frames, as they were intended to do, or do they create a whole new host of problems?

Personally, I'm probably going to stick to a nifty combination of CSS and SSI, but I'd still like to know whether iFrames are a viable option.

The MySQL Meetup group meeting on Monday, January 9th will focus on backups -- I will give a 30-45 minute presentation on backups and we will then delve into a discussion -- how folks within the group are backing up, how they're not backing up, how they'd like to back up. If there's time, we'll do a "lessons learned from backup horror stories".

Afterwards, we'll head a few doors down to Boston Beer Works for more chatting.

You can see a video of last month's presentation by Philip Antionades of MySQL AB on the new features in MySQL 5.0 at Google Video:

http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=Mysql+5.0+by+Philip+Antoniades

(we will video this month's presentation but not the discussion)

More details, including the event location and directions, are at: http://mysql.meetup.com/137/events/

I encourage you to sign up to receive notification of events, and participate in discussions outside of the meetups. I won't always be posting here.

Any questions, comments, etc should be sent to me. We're currently looking for a space better than North Station -- something around MIT might be nice, and we're trying to get an MIT grad student/faculty/staff member/organization to sponsor it. (We want a location that's good for people driving AND taking the T, and when the Garden has an event, it's not feasible to park there). If you can help out, please let me know.

(You may forward this announcement to other groups, lists, blogs, whatever.)

I'm quite excited about the presentation, as I'm writing down a lot of information from different sources that really wants to be together, but as far as I can tell is not yet, at least not in a public place.

To whomever was asking about boycotting Google addesses, I thought of that post when I saw this.

This, is a frightening thing, even though it's been going on for a long, long time now. Because if the public is aware that the government wants to try and strong-arm even "random" "unidentifiable" information, then they'll be that much more paranoid about searching for information -- after all, what someone may think is innocuous, this administration might well be paranoid, themselves, about. And the more frightened people are about looking up what they need or want to know, the more they'll end up coming to rely on what the readily acessible media feeds them. Deliberate or not -- and honestly, I don't have enough faith in the current government to suspect ZOMG A CONSPIRACY! -- this has the real potential to not end well at all.

Okay, my girlfriend has a G3 Ibook (Running OSX 10.2.8) that we just installed an airport card on. The problem I am having is that every time I go to a website it brings up AOL. I know it finds a network because it is giving me network strength and such.

Does anyone know how to disable AOL on a Mac? I tried both tech supports (Apple and AOL) and got basically nowhere and the couple of Google searches I did turned up about as much. I've also tried the preferences of AOL and got about as far as the rest.

So, ideas?

I have googled on how to use this site and have used it for a long time, but am not COMPLETELY certain on how to set it up for a new website I am creating.

As I mentioned, I have googled it and have a few websites bookmarked but I was wondering if someone would be willing to help guide me through the process of setting it up. I kept most of the important infor from the last time I used it.

IF you would be willing to help me, respond here and we can try and set up a time that is good for both of us.

Thanks VERY VERY much.
