Locating a file opened in Windows Live Mail but did not save
by Guest kennethiataylor- 0 replies
- 312 views
I was working on a paper for class. I sent it from my work email to my personal Hotmail email account using windows live. For the past 2 days I have been just saving it as I have been working on it, never closing the document. I finished it and closed it. When I went to submit the assignment it was nowhere to be found. I spent so much time working on this 10 page assignment and it is worth 50% of my grade. Is there anyway to recover it ? A friend recommended I do as system restore, I tried that but it was still lost in cyberspace. Please help! Continue reading...

Linux Newby
by Guest Jsquirestech- 0 replies

Hi there. I am picking up a Super Server 5013C-T/i with a single P4 CPU, 2gb of memory, and 2x 80gb drives. The only Linux distro's I have used is Ubuntu and Mint desktop versions. I have never installed or used a server edition of Linux. I was hoping to use Windows Server 2008 R2 or 2012 but this 1u server is a bit too slow so I think a Linux server might be a better fit. I am looking for suggestions on what distro I should use and what I need to do to install on this machine. I am looking to use this server as a file server for the house. Any help/suggestions is very much appreciated!! Sent from my Note 3 using Tapatalk Pro Continue reading...

Hi, not so new to Linux but haven't used it in a while so I'm a bit 'rusty' by now... Ok, my question may bring some chuckles yet a friend of mine is adamant in bringing this old machine back to life and all I can think of that may work (without using it's original Windows 98 OS) is to perhaps use a version of Linux that may work with that machine... If anyone would dare to answer this request and if needing more details, I can certainly provide. With so many versions and 'sizes' out there, I just don't know, maybe there is something she can use. Thanks for your time. Regards, Moris Continue reading...

by Guest Rene Ritchie- 0 replies

Review is like app or game coverage but for movie series, television shows, comic books, and other geeky entertainment. It's great stuff you can watch and enjoy on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV! On this week's episode Don, Matt, Guy, and Rene talk The Terminator. It's a post-apocalyptic trip through the original and T2, with a dash of T3, T4, and Sarah Connor Chronicles thrown in for good measure. So how does James Cameron's genre-defining 80s flick hold up today? We absolutely, positively will not stop until we've talked it to death!

by Guest Joseph Keller- 0 replies
- 267 views
Peter Oppenheimer formally stepped down as Apple's Chief Financial Officer this week, with vice president of finance and corporate controller Luca Maestri succeeding him in that position.

WWDC 2011 Flashback: OS X Lion, iOS 5, iCloud and iTunes Match
by Guest Peter Cohen- 0 replies
- 262 views
As we head towards WWDC 2014 we thought it would be fun to look back at Apple World Wide Developer Conferences past, what they introduced, and what impact they made. Today let's take a look at WWDC 2011, where software ruled the day — OS X Lion, iOS 5 and iCloud... Apple often peppers WWDC with some sort of hardware announcement, but not in 2011. That year it was all about the software. OS X 10.7 Lion was on display, along with iOS 5 and new cloud services from Apple — iCloud, which would replace Apple's Mobile Me service, and a new music subscription service called iTunes Match. Apple had first given a public glimpse of Lion the preceding fall at a special event it…

This is what happens when you load a Mac Pro with explosive C4
by Guest Chris Parsons- 0 replies
- 284 views
I'm not really into blowing up expensive electronics with C4 or anything else for that matter but I'm perfectly fine when other people do it on the stuff they spent their own money on. Who am I to care what they do with it? It's their money. Plus, it provides me with some mindless entertainment when I end up on the weird part of YouTube late on a Friday night. You know the place, I'm sure most of you have ended up there once or twice before. The folks at RatedRR wondered, how much C4 will a Mac Pro hold? And with that question play, they decided to find out. Hit play on the video, and don't bother crying. Your tears will be wasted. Via: Sploid …

I ran sfc /scannow yesterday - OS XP SP3, CD XP SP3. It completed without giving me any notifications other than a number of: "Files that are required for Windows to run properly must be copied to the DLL cache." I was prompted to click on 'retry'. It lasted for around 40 minutes then closed. I thought all had gone well until I looked in Event Viewer today. There are approximately 90 Windows File Protection entries there mostly with the following information: The system file ........ could not be copied into the DLL cache. The specific error code is 0x800b0100 [No signature was present in the subject]. This file is necessary to maintain system stability. …

Do I need to install Microsoft Security Update KB2925418
by Guest CynthiaCrain- 0 replies
- 297 views
I ran Belarc Advisor and received a message saying that "Microsoft Security Update (KB2925418) is missing on my computer and because it is "critical" I need to update now. I have my system set to update Microsoft updates automatically. Even so, I checked the Microsoft updates a few minutes ago on my desktop computer and I got a message saying that my computer is up to date. However, I cannot find security update KB2925418 in my "update history". Do I need to locate Microsoft security update KB2925418 on the Microsoft website and install it on my computer or is there a newer update that supplants KB2925418, and, therefore, I do not need to install it?
