Re: [H] Laptop problem

2008-07-21 Thread Jason Carson
 Power adapter may be bad, or the charging/power circuit inside the
 laptop is toast..

 If it won't run plugged into the wall, that's not good news.


I tried 2 different power adapters and neither worked so I guess it's the
charging/power circuit inside the laptop.

 Hello,

 I have a laptop here that when you turn it on, it stays on for
 about a
 second, flashes IBM Thinkpad then turns off. Anyone know what
 could be
 wrong with it?

 I'd pull the battery and see if it boots with wall power only.  Could
 be a fan failure, I guess.

 For the brief second it is on I can feel the air blow out the side
 so it's
 not the fan.

 I tried pulling the battery and plugging it into the wall and the
 laptop
 wouldn't power up at all.

Re: [H] Adobe does it again.......

2008-07-21 Thread DHSinclair

John,
Even stranger is that Adobe now seems to force V9 even when my machine does 
NOT meet their presented 'system requirements!'  It took me the better part 
of an hour to get Adobe to point to, download, and install V8.12.  Really 
odd and a bit scary for us antique users.. :)

Best,
Duncan

installed.

Why should we have to waste time un-installing things we did not want?

[H] Thank you Collective!

2008-07-21 Thread DHSinclair

I would still have a dead server without the collective. Thank you all!
Without your help (over the past 67 msgs!) I would still be scratching
my head. I really do appreciate all of your suggestions and help.

My w2kServerSP4 is up and running once again! And, it only took 80 Win
Updates to come fully back! LOL!

The ' primary application(s) for the ESET lanupdsrvr, RAS, and RAC are
reinstalled and running as expected.

The RAID did reformat properly. Eraser v5.82 cleared it of anything windows
missed. Somehow, I gained ~200MB of space; but am not fully reloaded.

ATM, I have about 1/2 of the past applications reinstalled. I have not brought
the data back to the RAID yet. All in good time :)

I did have to accept IIS, Indexing Svc, DHCP, and DNS during the default
install of the Windows Deli-basket for the OS.  I believe I have now
properly de-installed/stopped/disabled the above 4 services.  I no longer
get event logs and login windows about some service did not load..
In time, I will further tweak the services. But, I will ask first!

Again, thank you all for all your help.
Best,
Duncan



[H] Powerpoint to DVD stand alone playable media

2008-07-21 Thread Joe User
Hello,

If I were to make a PowerPoint presentation, is there a way to make it
into something (a movie?) that would play on anyone's stand alone DVD
player? If so how or what would one use? Should I consider using my
iMac to do this? Thanks in advance!

Keynote for the Mac has an export to iDVD option, it will let you burn  
to a DVD with ease..


I did find some shareware apps and pay-for apps that let you convert  
ppt files to AVI and such...
