RE: Best device to read PDF books?
As far as I know, the Kindle can read pdf's not necessarily bought at their store, or am I wrong? | alegator | Tech Talk | 11-16-2010 at 06:04 AM |
Best device to read PDF books?
I want a device with a large screen (as big as possible to ease reading), that will display PDF files in a user friendly format so I can read/study from my collection of science PDF books.I usually have a pen and paper to work/study as I read from th... | alegator | Tech Talk | 11-16-2010 at 04:16 AM |
RE: Windows Live Messenger 9 Available?
I mean even older versions, like 14.0.8089.726 which is the last build for XP supporting webcam only (no audio) (we discussed this in another thread). You can only get these older builds/versions from 3rd party sites. And by the way, they are malwar... | alegator | Skype & Live Messenger | 10-09-2010 at 07:29 PM |
RE: Windows Live Messenger 9 Available?
Why is that? If you download from the official source it won't give you the option of installing older versions, it will force you to install the latest one only. If you want to install older versions then the only option is 3rd party sites like th... | alegator | Skype & Live Messenger | 10-09-2010 at 01:34 AM |
RE: Windows Live Essentials 2011 released
Oops, I just realized that WLM2011 is only compatible with Windows 7 and Vista, so I won't be able to upgrade since I'm using XP :( | alegator | Skype & Live Messenger | 10-04-2010 at 06:16 AM |
RE: Windows Live Essentials 2011 released
Do you mean that if I upgrade WLM from build14 to build 15, that all the custom nicknames I assigned to each contact will be lost and will have to be rebuilt manually again? Thanks | alegator | Skype & Live Messenger | 10-03-2010 at 06:47 PM |
RE: sending/recieving webcam in wlm 2011?
Cookie, when you say "new version", are you referring to WLM2011 (build 15)? If so, how does video quality in the new version's video call compare to that of WLM build 14 webcam only (video without sound)? | alegator | Skype & Live Messenger | 10-02-2010 at 04:54 PM |
RE: sending/recieving webcam in wlm 2011?
Cookie, I don't agree on this one. I have extensively tested the Webcam feature and Video Calls, and in all cases the video quality of Video Calls is significantly lower than that of Webcam invitations. | alegator | Skype & Live Messenger | 10-02-2010 at 08:04 AM |
RE: sending/recieving webcam in wlm 2011?
The latest version of WLM that supports webcam video without audio is WLM 14.0.8089.726 which is the one I will use until Microsoft ever decides to include the feature again. The quality of video in a Video Call is degraded compared to just Webcam V... | alegator | Skype & Live Messenger | 10-02-2010 at 02:51 AM |

Need advice for free antivirus+firewall
I was thinking of the free ZoneAlarm firewall+free Avast! Antivirus combination. What do you think? Any better choice? Thanks. | alegator | Tech Talk | 04-17-2010 at 06:03 AM |
RE: Unable to power on the PC after adding 2nd hard drive
I found a workaround to this issue without having to replace the PSU. I unplugged the DVD drive power plug and used it to power the 2nd internal hard drive, and I was able to clone the main drive. | alegator | Tech Talk | 04-03-2010 at 06:01 PM |
RE: Unable to power on the PC after adding 2nd hard drive
Thanks everyone for their replies. Let me say that: 1) The power supply is the original that came with my system, it has the specs necessary to support a 2nd internal drive. 2) The "open,install,close" cycles should only affect two things: the IDE... | alegator | Tech Talk | 03-20-2010 at 12:42 PM |
Unable to power on the PC after adding 2nd hard drive
I have a Dell Dimension 8200 desktop PC. It only has the main OS hard drive installed. Occasionally I add a 2nd internal drive to clone the main drive for backup purposes. It has been performing perfectly for many years. Since a month ago, whenever I... | alegator | Tech Talk | 03-19-2010 at 07:17 PM |

Using a CF card as an internal PC hard drive
I just read it can be done for notebooks using this adaptor: http://www.addonics.com/products/flash_memory_read er/ad44midecf.asp Has anyone tried it? Is it stable? Is there something similar for PC's? Thanks | alegator | Tech Talk | 03-09-2010 at 09:09 PM |

Latest version of Google Earth?
I have WinXP Pro SP3 and my Google Earth installation says version 5.1.3533.1731 . When I check Help/Check Updates Online within GE it says that no update is available.

RE: UNable to transfer a video file from the digital camera to the PC
I just tried transferring the video file in my same PC but running Win7 Ultimate, and I did so successfully (directly from the camera, the card reader still did not recognize the card). So I can confirm the problem was WinXP. Thanks. | alegator | Tech Talk | 12-28-2009 at 05:20 PM |
UNable to transfer a video file from the digital camera to the PC
I have a Canon G9 digital camera. I took several pictures and 4 videos that are stored in the SD card of the camera. I connect the G9 to the PC via USB to transfer the pics/videos from the camera to the PC's hard drive and all files are transferred ... | alegator | Tech Talk | 12-27-2009 at 03:23 AM |
RE: CPU Fan is on high all the time
I cleaned the CPU fan thoroughly and for the last 6 hours has been working fine, at normal speed and without noise. So I guess the dirt was the issue. Thanks everyone for your replies! | alegator | Tech Talk | 12-27-2009 at 03:00 AM |
RE: CPU Fan is on high all the time
Yes I did, but never cleaned the fan thoroughly inside. I just did that, it was really dirty. Hope that solves the issue. Thanks. | alegator | Tech Talk | 12-26-2009 at 09:09 PM |
CPU Fan is on high all the time
I never had this issue in the 8 years I'm using this PC. I left home two days ago so I left the PC unplugged. Today when I came back and powered on the PC everything seemed normal but after about 5 minutes of using the PC the CPU fan started spinnin... | alegator | Tech Talk | 12-26-2009 at 06:29 PM |
RE: How to prevent limited user from accessing 2nd drive?
Jarrod, thanks for your suggestion to use gpedit.msc . I'm not familiar with the options provided by XP's Administrative Tools, that's why instead of probably messing up my PC's settings I chose SteadyState whose interface is a no brainer. Additi... | alegator | Tech Talk | 10-21-2009 at 02:42 PM |
RE: How to prevent limited user from accessing 2nd drive?
Thanks everyone for their replies. I found this free Microsoft program very cool for controlling all user permissions and settings. It's very user friendly: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamil y/sharedaccess/default.mspx | alegator | Tech Talk | 10-21-2009 at 01:31 AM |
