So glad I found these communities! I am in desperate need of help. Please bear with me; my knowledge of computers is fairly limited.

I run Windows Vista on a Dell Latitude D630. It has a dual processor that runs at 800 MHz. I bought it through my school's bookstore, so it came installed with McAfee Antivirus Software.

Here's the issue.

Out of the blue - well, at least it looked it to me - I started getting some weird notifications. They say the following:

Cracking GO By Feng - Hsiung Hsu
First Published October 2007 < http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/oct07/5552 >

Brute-force computation has eclipsed humans in chess, and it could soon do the same in this ancient Asian game

In 1957, Herbert A. Simon, a pioneer in artificial intelligence and later a Nobel Laureate in economics, predicted that in 10 years a computer would surpass humans in what was then regarded as the premier battleground of wits: the game of chess. Though the project took four times as long as he expected, in 1997 my colleagues and I at IBM fielded a computer called Deep Blue that defeated Garry Kasparov, the highest-rated chess player ever.
You might have thought that we had finally put the question to rest—but no. Many people argued that we had tailored our methods to solve just this one, narrowly defined problem, and that it could never handle the manifold tasks that serve as better touchstones for human intelligence. These critics pointed to weiqi, an ancient Chinese board game, better known in the West by the Japanese name of Go, whose combinatorial complexity was many orders of magnitude greater than that of chess. Noting that the best Go programs could not even handle the typical novice, they predicted that none would ever trouble the very best players.
Ten years later, the best Go programs still can't beat good human players. Nevertheless, I believe that a world-champion-level Go machine can be built within 10 years, based on the same method of intensive analysis—brute force, basically—that Deep Blue employed for chess. I've got more than a small personal stake in this quest. At my lab at Microsoft Research Asia, in Beijing, I am organizing a graduate student project to design the hardware and software elements that will test the ideas outlined here. If they prove out, then the way will be clear for a full-scale project to dethrone the best human players... (full story at the above website)

I'm 99.9% sure the problem is opnmjgf.dll, which pops up in both O2 and O20. Unfortunately, no matter what I do, including flagging it to delete on reboot in HT, it keeps coming back, and I've no idea how to get it to go away permanently. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I want to buy this DVD, which is a Region 2 Import from the UK. http://www.amazon.com/Spaced-Definitive-Collectors-Region-UK/dp/B000IFOXX2/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-6133607-3929705?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1194797245&sr=8-1

I live in the US, and the description for the DVD says "This DVD will not play on most DVD players sold in the US or Canada [Region 1]. This item requires a region specific or multi-region DVD player and compatible TV." Are many DVD players actually multi-regional? or PAL?

A friend of mine has software to rip and burn DVD's. Would that be a viable solution for this problem? Could I rip the content and burn it onto a new DVD, and then (hopefully) be able to play it on an American player? If nothing else, would I be able to watch this on my computer?

I appreciate any advice on this! Thanks!

Remember that last independent business intelligence company, Cognos? It's now a part of IBM's software unit. IBM said Monday in a statement that it has acquired Cognos for $5 billion, or $58 a share. In just a month the two leading business intelligence players have been acquired. SAP bought...

If you're taking software free and buying support from elsewhere, the guys who built the program can't eat, unless they find a way to get a rake-off from the support team's revenue. Which isn't going to happen. Or start charging you directly for their code updates, which might.
