A few things that might help get those questions answered faster.
Be specific when you are talking about something - "my mp3 player is broken HALP!?"
- What kind of mp3 player, (brand and model)
- What isn't is doing now that it was before (the reason it is "broken")
- What were you doing to it last, right before it broke.. Did you maybe drop it?.. get it a little wet? try to flash the firmware?!

These all help in determining what can be done.
These rules do not just apply to MP3 players.
Just be as specific as possible and don’t leave stuff out, we want to be helpful here, try not to make it a scavenger hunt for clues!
These same rules apply for other situations like “I got a new motherboard and now my computer doesn’t post!”
-old motherboard model
-new motherboard model
-ram (speed)
and any other component you might have in there (most of the other stuff usually won’t matter but list what you know.

Hello /halp/

I just got a brand new shiny laptop and I would like to know what programs you would put on it.

Also post how I should kill my old machine.

Thanks for making this thread OP, I have a new-ish laptop too. Can I get some ideas too?

All I have, and I would suggest is cpu-z.
>> No. 9174 ID: 9964e7
It really depends on what you're doing with it OP.
If its the site of your city paper collection you'll want encryption and crap (or if you're paranoid), if you're shooping things with it you'll want photoshoop, etc.
Are you doing anything strange or exciting with it?
>> No. 9182 ID: b87d5b
before we decide the fate of your "old" machine, what is it?

And one more thing... does anyone know where i can find a product key for Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 3 Retail (x86) Original... thanks in advance

THANK YOU! :D Now how would I burn the program onto a disk? Is there a specific program I must use?

No HP/dell/gateway don't install retail versions AFAIK.

Its a frig'n ISO, the most basic disk image there is. Freeware like Infrarecorder will handle them...

Can anyone instruct me how to install/ extract the ath9k wireless "drivers" after i take them off of my flash drive or at least the commands to instruct linux to read the script and execute it so that I am able to use wireless?

This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)

If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.

I have a 9600 gt and have tried all windows distros with no success :(

linux works fine

any ideas?

Do you have a display card integrated onto your motherboard?

If so, what happens when you disable it?
>> No. 9178 ID: 8b1feb
Well, in the old days, when we got messages like this we went into the BIOS and disabled all hardware we weren't actually using that might be consuming IRQs, such as serial ports, paralell ports, fdd drives, IrDA ports, and shit like that.

If you have an add on PCI USB adapter, it consumes a lot of IRQs and might be the culprit.

Also don't install your GPU drivers before you install your chipset drivers.

hey, /halp/
I got a macbook from my school a while ago , and i used to use this:

Reboot
Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):

mount -uw /
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -h now

After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account.

To create myself an admin account, but a couple of weeks ago all the macbooks got OSX reinstalled on them and now i cant access the screen when you hold Command + S

Protip: Richard doesn't care whether you on a mac or a PC.

Also, OP, wouldn't that have removed all the accounts on the laptop? I've never used a mac properly but judging by the file you're deleting it sounds like it...

>>9152
Which is where the fact that sudo asks for your password comes in, which is why he didn't recommend su. :3

Ever since I installed Dawn of War II, I have had a problem. After hours of trying to fix this problem myself, I am at the end of my rope. The problem is that Games for Windows Live will not log me in, and the only reason I can think of, after trying several other fixes, is that for some reason my computer has no UPnP Address. I went to the Network and Sharing Center, switched on Network Discovery, and still nothing! Additional info that may or may not be helpful: I run Windows Vista, I can use the internet, I can play DoWII offline, I can play other games online with no problem, and Games for Windows Live tells me I have no UPnP and no IP Address. What do, /halp/?

So I was downloading some torrents and I got a fat stash of viruses, spyware, and other assorted bullshit. What's a good free virus/spyware program that can make me feel comfortable logging onto my pron accounts again?

In return I will post passwords to various fetish porn sites.

Actually Giant made a bunch of products that were relatively worthwhile from a technical perspective - they all had a low impact on system resources & performance.

Ultimately how good or bad the the final product worked was determined by the third party you went with, since they created the definitions... Giant just made the engines, each third party created their own definitions.

Malwarebytes, Adaware, Spybot are my three for anti-spyware.

I use avast pro (loltorrents) for AV.

you´re gonna need ComboFix
and change your AV to MSE

So, I was playing Killing Floor earlier and all was well, then I try it again and now all it does is what's showing in the picture. Nothing's getting rendered, save for the weapons etc.

I uninstalled my gfx drivers and did a reinstall of DirectX9, nothing. Not had this issue before with Win7 x64, nor Vista x64 nor XP x86/x64.

DXDiag is showing nothing wrong either.

wat do

I checked this also, should have written original post with more detail perhaps. It was fine with pirated 7 Ultimate x64, and other versions of Windows too. I'm on a legit 7 Pro x64 now I got for free. I could reinstall I guess but hoping I can solve this without that. It's an integreated Nvidia 7000M which runs it decently.

If more details are needed I can provide.

In the words of Niko Bellic, "FACK THEES" - I just reinstalled 7 and things seem to be fine now. I only installed it 2 days ago so no loss.

Here's to hoping Microsoft doesn't intentionally hold up the release SP1 like they did with Vista. ('consumers will think it's unreliable if we release it')
