Take a look at the following screenshot. Is that normal or what? Since 5 hours, the Windows Defender has scanned only that much and it is still continuing.

Live media with Broadcom wireless support?
by Guest a1b1- 0 replies
- 320 views
If this is in the wrong place, sorry, I figured it wasn't really a true tech question more of a general knowledge one. I've been reading around trying to find a distro that includes Broadcom drivers during the live session. I don't have access to a broadcom wireless device anymore (my laptop had that but the wireless died), or unlimited Internet to just download distros to check, and I don't have time to do a lot of research. Basically, trying to assist someone with an HP Mini 210-1000, Intel Atom N450, and he says Broadcom BCM 4310. Trying to get something lighter but full featured, like say Lubuntu, Mint, etc. He does not have an ethernet cable and apparently does…

by Guest KansaiRobot- 0 replies

Hello everybody this is my first post in this forum. I would very much appreciate if you can share with me some of your knowledge. The situation is the following. In windows (I suppose many of us came from there) when I want to use a USB camera, I connect it to the USB port and usually it is automatically recognized. In the worst of cases I have to download and install some DLL to make it work. How does this works in the following cases: 1) In Linux. I heard the equivalent of a DLL is a so file. How does this work here? Is there automatic recognition? 2) In Linux for a non-intel architecture. Say an ARM system running linux. How can I use a USB camera on t…

Editor's desk: My community

I had an odd moment of lucidity a couple of hours ago while recording tomorrow's episode of The TV Show with my friend Dave Wiskus. We were talking about HBO's True Detective and I was recounting how I watched most of it on the plane ride to and from San Francisco for WWDC 2014, and how we had on-board Wi-Fi on the way out but not the return trip. I'd never had it on Air Canada before but after having had it I instantly felt cut-off and disconnecting when I no longer had it. Today it occurred to me that a large part of the reason for that feeling was community. My community exist online and becoming disconnected from it I can only equate to walking out of my hut and sudde…

Happy 10th birthday British (and French and German) iTunes Store!
by Guest Richard Devine- 0 replies
- 320 views
Today, June 15, marks the 10th birthday of the iTunes Store in the UK, France and Germany. Having already been launched in the U.S. the year before, Apple's first international expansion saw the trio of European countries become the first non-Americans to have access to its online media catalog. But perhaps more importantly it marked the beginning of a serious change in how media buyers got their content. And the rest, as they say, is history. We take for granted today how easy it is to buy our favorite media content. Be it on our iPhone or iPad, Mac, Windows PC or Apple TV, buying music, TV shows, movies and books takes just a few clicks and we can get it pretty muc…

Hi I have a question regarding legitimate usage of Microsoft XP Professional OEM license with sticker pasted over HP machines. I bought a few such old desktops from a local vendor few months back. These machines have Microsoft XP Professional sticker pasted over the desktop body (the sticker also mentions that the license is not to be sold separately). I also formatted the machines and installed XP professional on the machines once again and activated the XP online using the key pasted over the desktop. My Vendor had told me that these are OEM licenses and they go along with the desktop on which they have been installed. If the desktop is sold to anyone, it is l…

Win XP blue screen
by Guest RichardLow- 0 replies

Hi I reinstalled XP to my laptop as it keeps showing the blue screen or the screen will just hang after a while. After reinstalling, the same happens so I thought it could be a motherboard problem. I tried with a 'safe mode' login and the laptop doesn't hang and no blue screen. So, I believe there must be some software problem. Can anybody help to point out what could be the problem or troubleshoot the issue? Many thanks in advance. Regards Richard Continue reading...

How does it get there in the 1st place and how do I get rid of it? It drives me crazy! Continue reading...

I have recently upgraded my PC with an Asus z97-a motherboard and Intel-i5 4 core processor. After reinstalling Windows 7, I was able to get a signal from my geforce gtx 660 video card for a few hours. After installing several Windows updates, however, I am unable to use my video card without receiving a NO INPUT DETECTED from both of my monitors.

Due to the video card not being detected, I am unable to install the latest drivers for my card and I have no idea what to try next. I have also made sure that my current power supply is supplying enough power to the card. Powe…
