Just installed Suse 11.0 (I like it)! However, on running Firefox, I resized the window so that I could see the entire page on my monitor, File, edit, view, history, bookmarks, etc. Had it filling the monitor's screen so that I could see everything. Great, I thought! However, when I close...

Ooops, looks like I have it sorted. Just had to add the application launcher to the taskbar - and all the programs where there of course.:doh:

Hi, all. Downloaded the Suse 11.00 Live CD and ran it on my pc. On the live CD desktop, there was an option to install. I choose this option and the install appeared to be successful. However, I noticed that once I had installed, the desktop had only a few program icons for apps and no...

Just thought it was time to say a big thank you to HWF for all the help the membership has given me since I joined. Going from a complete noob, I have now built several systems for other people and I could not have done this without you guys. Your contributions have been an invaluable source...

Roy, Many thanks! It worked a treat - a really neat application :good:.

Hi, all. I have my laptop (downstairs) and my desktop (upstairs) networked. I have a shed load of bookmarks on the laptop that I would like to transfer from the laptop to the desktop. I located the bookmarks folder on the laptop and copied it to the desktop computer. I then, opened up...

Here is some information re: system beeps - they may help you diagnose the problem. Pirated Den: What do system beeps Mean? It does rather sound like a video card problem.

Hi, all. I have an Acer Aspire 36090 laptop. I have just upgraded the RAM; which I'm pleased with! However, would like to try and upgrade the Intel Celeron 1.6GHz, 533 MHz FSB, 1 MB L2 cache processor to the max for the motherboard (which I don't know what that is at the time of writing)...

Have you tried looking in Device Manager to check if there are any yellow question marks against the onboard sound device? If there are, take the option to reinstall the sound drivers. You will most likely need the motherboard CD so that this search can be done. Failing that, the purchase...

Hi, all. Here's a copy and paste from a friend of mine. Any solutions please! "If you know how to open 2 mail windows for the same provider, I'd be very grateful. I have 2 different Yahoo email accounts, but it only recognises one at a time, which is a bit of a problem, as I'm always...

Are you getting any error messages on the computers that won't connect to the rest of the network?

Mine's probably between 'Platoon' and 'Pulp fiction' - hard to pick one over the other. Watched 'No Country For Old Men' the other day - and that was outstanding!

My second HDD (40GB) has dropped to 31.4 GB with no data on it. I know that some space is taken up with formatting and the way HDD manufacturers calculate HDD capacites, but it's still a big drop! No big deal, as I have plenty of other HDD space on my system. Just curious as to how the...

Thanks a lot, guys. Well, I finally installed kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) in 'safe graphics mode'. I hope this will be okay?

Tried installing kubuntu 7.10. The install starts, but this time, the monitor just goes blank and stays that way. As a test, I tried an install of both Mandriva 2006, then 2007. I had no problem with them and they loaded fine! Could this be a VGA problem?

After trying a few Linux distros over the past year, I decided to go back to my old favourite, Ubuntu, with a view to installing the KDE desktop, thus effectively making it 'Kubuntu'. I dug out my old Ubuntu (ver 6.10, I think) setup CD and the install began. However, I was soon confronted...

Sorry if this seems a dumb question, but I take it you've applied thermal compound to the die of the CPU or made sure a thermal pad is present on the underside of the heatsink? I was so eager to get a new CPU in once, that I forgot the thermal paste and experienced the problems you have...

You can't install Linux on a Windows partition - they are different filing systems. I would suggest that you install Linux on your D: drive. Just put your Mandriva or Xubuntu CD/DVD install disk in your DVD/CD drive and boot from it. During the set-up process, you will be asked which drive...

Thanks for the input, guys. I eventually found a program to open up the said .mix file and then I saved it as a JPEG, so all is sorted now. The program is called PolyView, available here: PolyView 4.112 Free Download | 5 Star Shareware
