>>25305 Sweet! I've had similar problems with Asus motherboards, and my current Asus laptop, when their software takes over! :D

>>25303 yes, software: Asus AISuite 3 which overruled all settings. It's working fine now :)

>>25301 Weird! Is the registry being replaced by a backup each time you restart?
Do you have any other software running that can change the power options, lots of motherboards manufactures include advance power option programs. It could be this software is screwing things up.
Beyond that this is a new one on me and I really don't know :/

Nevermind, I found the 'issue'. Turns out Asus AI Suite cock blocked the power saving function. It works good now. Thx JC ;)

JC HELP ME!

I have a strange issue with Windows 7. I can't seem to change the Power options, well I can but when I restart it goes back to default settings (turn screen off after 30min, sleep after 1 hour).

I've made a new power plan, changed the power plan in the registry, through the bios, even reset the cmos battery..but nothing worked.

JC HELP ME!

>>13167 >>13171 An outdoor wood burning furnace beats them all! For the last two weeks, the fan (in the house) has not kicked on, but the convection has kept the house at 73 degrees! ;)
It has come on since yesterday though! It was 31 here last night!

>>13171 Yeah, I've found every other issue - and only half of them resolved - anyone has had with this thing. I'm trying to save a few bucks by going that route but it looks like I'll have to either try Oldballs method of making sure the vent is clear or calling our home warranty people and dish out another $55. The techs normally don't mind if I gawk over their shoulders, makes them feel interesting.

>>13164 I have a friend who's computer was hit by malware this week. She knows nothing about this sort of thing and took her computer to the police station to have sort it out!?! They managed not to laugh and suggested she go to a computer shop XD
>>13167 I had a heater that the fan wouldn't run on, turned out to be a electromagnetic coil that had failed that was used to switch the fan on. Try searching on the net for you particular model and you might get some pointer for what to check.

Had this problem before. Mine would fire up, the fan would fail to kick on then the flame would go out. Turned out to be a venting issue. I had snow blocking the vent outside of my house. I detached the pipe from the furnace, allowing the vent to pull exchange the air in the basement, until I could manage to get out and clear the 6 foot drift covering the outside vent.
Above all, remember A Christmas Story, and act like the old man, Mr.Parker "It'sss a clinkerrr! That blasted stupid furnace, dadgummit! Oh for cripes sake open up the damper will ya? Who the hell turned it all the way down? AGAIN! Oh blasted!"

Does anyone have knowledge on how to check/fix an issue with a Heater?

The thermostat works, it heats from time to time but the fan never blows unless it's on "Run" and never when set on "Auto". Air conditioner worked fine just can't get this to run.
It heats up - gas heater - but never engages the fan to spread that warmth.

I was hit with a malware issue the other day. It kept blocking programs to clean out malware and wasn't spotted by my virus protection.
Keep an eye out for "2012v121.exe" also known as "AV Security 2012". Was a bitch to nullify.

>>13154 mmmaybe but he was drinking like a Irishman ;p

I have a similar with Nvidia. I have no problem with gaming but when I just browse the internet the screens goes black for 10 to 15 seconds. It pops back and displays 'graphics driver crashed'. However no solution from Nvidia! Bastards in their ivory tower. Making money but tech support..fuck that

>>13148 SeaFox was referring to the microsoft link I posted.
>>13149 Sounds like your buggered then :/
I had the problem on and off for ages with IE. Never found a solution. Loads of people are stuck with it.

I was just doing what the instuctions were tellingme to do! Right now, there too much heineken involved!

Downloaded Program Files? Temporary Internet Files! Please read carefully ;)

Try re-installing IE.

>>13136 That is faces I've been creating with Morphthing.com, and fixing them up with Portrait Professional! Some of them look pretty good! :p

>>13140 Well, that didn't work, because there was nothing in the Downloaded Program Files to delete!
>>13141 I have enough trouble without getting something I know nothing about!

>>13131 GET Mozilla FireFOX, FOX!!

>>13131 This is a classic fault of IE, it's been there through every version! Microsoft know of the problem but have never fixed it. :/
This is the microsoft way to sort out the problem...

>>13131 Clean the 'Temporary Internet Files'
Method 1
Delete the temporary Internet files. To do so, click Tools, click Internet Options, click the General tab, and then click the Delete Files button.

Note To locate the Temporary Internet Files folder, click Options on the Tools menu, click the General tab, and then click Settings. The current location appears in the Settings dialog box.

Method 2
To work around the problem, click Tools, click Internet Options, click the Advanced tab, click to clear the Do not save encrypted pages to disk check box, click View, and then click Refresh. The Do not save encrypted pages to disk check box is under the Security section.

>>13131 wow, XP. Let me check the good ol' book..

Let us see ur background, Fox. Who is that?

>>13120 No, this is what I have now! It gives me the full range of choices only when I copy a screen grab! I know there's some sort of setting to correct this, I just don't remember where it is!

>>13115 SeaFox, u have this option?

IT'S LIKE CAPSLOCK, IF YOU TURN IT ON, YOU CAN NEVER TURN IT OFF!

Help! For some reason, when I download a pic from anywhere, it comes in only as a bmp! What do I need to reset to get it back to jpg?! It's annoying to have to change them after I get them!

>>13109 Yeah good question. I liked Nanni's photoshop creations. And Porzel's pessimistic approach to almost everything. :D

They lost the internet.

why do you think that a lot of ex-snaps/lumra users are not coming gto visit merlins bar?

>>12550 Yes I am! He got me like that only once! But just when I thought I had him, he lauched some big-ass grenade at me!

>>12546 you're not moving a lot! Move like ur chasing Adriana Lima! :D

>>12544 Ok! I've been doing that, and he grabbed me, and punched me! How rude! :p

>>12537 the cable had a clip-on..I forgot that and snap! >>12538 But it works again :)

>>12539 Shoot him in the head and don't forget to keep moving!

How do you beat the first big bad guy on Deus Ex: Human Revolution?!

>>12535 As long as you don't get glue on the contact faces it should be fine to glue it.
>>12525 If you only viewed the pics directly off the memory card they won't be on the PS3.
>>12532 The only cure for disturbing mental images is crystal meth ;D

>>12535 how did it break?

And here's my question: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGHHHHH!!!?
I superglued the broken piece on..hope that will work.

hahha. did you store the images on your ps3 harddrive, then they might look at them.
If you didn't save them, they can't see them.

Just to sure post the pix here and we'll judge them, after that it doesn't matter what they'll say ;)

i would think the mental images would really be enough and you wouldn't need to ever view the originals again.. ;)

I have a memory stick with holiday pics and vids on it. I have viewed them on my Playstaion 3 via usb port. My ps3 keeps crashing all the time and i need to have it repaired. Will the repairers be able to view the pics/vids of me in my speedos or does none of the info stay on the ps3 hard drive?
thank you for reading this boring Q ;-)
