Hi all, I recently had a sFTP site set up at work so that I can directly send sensitive files to our vendors, including email opt-out and suppression lists. We are currently using a 3rd party company to do this and it's very expensive. Industry best practice dictates that we should use a...

Hi folks, My boss is asking me to replicate the process we pay a vendor to do which is taking some data we send them via text file, applying MD5 one way hash to it, and distributing the hashed file to our vendors. I got a copy of gpg4win and used it to hash a text file but it adds the .gpg...

My company is currently using UnSubCentral to distribute our email opt-out and suppression lists to our online vendors in order to comply with CANSPAM and PII laws and best practices. UnSub collects our lists and uploads it to their database using a Secure FTP. Our vendors then log into...

Hello all, The screen on my Dell laptop cracked yesterday. This is my work computer and I need to be able to hook it up to a flat panel LCD at home. The problem is that the only output for the flatscreen is HDMI and the laptop only accepts VGA. There are a ton of HDMI to VGA adapters on...

Forgive me if I'm posting this in the wrong area, but I can't really find a better one for this subject. Our living room CRT TV just went kaplooie and I'm looking to upgrade to a flat-screen on a budget. I've heard that deals can be found by buying off-brand models which are essentially the...

Mods, please delete. This has been resolved. Thank you. Hello all, I've searched and searched and even tried posting to the ASP forums with no success so I'm hoping I can get some help here. I've been working on this issue for two days and am getting no farther at this point. I'm setting...

Hi everyone, First, I have read the sticky and I've done a lot of searching around the net trying to find the answers. I think I know how I want to do the problem but I'm not sure how to implement it into my code. Here's the issue. I wrote a short program that asks the user for loan...

Hi all, I'm taking a course in C# and I can't figure out how to get my values to round to 2 digits. I've searched the internet and I know that Math.round() is the way to do it, in theory, but I can't figure out how to actually implement it into my program. If anyone can help, I'd certainly...

Hey gang, I've been sorta out of the loop since I built my last PC back in 2006 and I'm looking to buy or build a new rig. This will be used for some not-so-demanding gaming (WoW) as well as the normal internet (facebook/youtube) activities and homework (MS Office suite). Long story short...

I'm looking to spend $200 or less (optimally under $100) for a basic laptop. Requirements: Size: don't care as long as it's not excessively heavy as I'll be lugging it between work, school and home on a daily basis. OS: Must come with a Windows OS. I don't really care which although...

Hi everyone, I'm an older fart who returned to college about 6 months ago to finish my degree and I'm finding more and more that I need a laptop. Finances are tight at the moment and I'm not sure where to look for the best deals. I've tried ebay but when I try to sift though all of the...

As the title suggests, I'm looking for a list of helpful utilities that are compatible with Windows7 x64. I just installed it last week and so far have installed: Picasa 3.5 AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition Firefox 3.5.3 Any suggestions on what else I should add to the list? Thanks!

Hey folks, I just did a fresh (Clean) install of Win7 Premium x64 home. I had some issues installing initially and now every time I boot, I get the screen which asks me to select which OS I wish to use. I get the option for Windows 7 and also for "An older version of Windows". The more...

Hi all, I just finished installing Win7 Home Premium x64 and as many recommended, I disconnected my backup HDD for the install. Now that I've reconnected it, I cant see it on my PC. I've rebooted, double checked all the connections etc... Is there something I'm failing to do?

Hi folks, I have kind of a fragmented question. I'll try to make it as clear as possible but I'll be happy to expand in you need more info. Sorry it's kind of long but I wanted to include as much detail as I thought you might need. Okay, I recently took advantage of the Win7 offer for...

Simple question, I think but I'll give you some background just in case. I have ordered the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade (64 bit) from digital river and am planning on doing a clean install to replace my old XP Home (32) OS. Here are my questions: 1. If I have 2 hard drives, when I...

This amused me so I thought I'd share: My wife and I just moved into a new house and I was going through some old files and ran across a receipt. Jan 18, 2001 Debco Computers - Cincinnati, OH Qty 1 256MB PC100 DIMM $149.99 It struck me as funny both what the price of RAM was back then...

I checked the FAQ but didn't find anything specifically concerning this. I'm good at building computers but am pretty clueless when it comes to networking. I have one cable modem in the house, currently in the basement. I'm wondering if it would be possible to add a wireless router so that I...

So my Christmas goodies finally arrive yesterday - a 19" widescreen LCD and my 2nd Gig of RAM. I install them and begin to tweak my overclock since I haven't messed with it in a month or so. I still can't get past the 450 FSB barrier so I decide to check for Bios updates and low and behold...

Hi folks, I've had my new C2D rig set up for about a month and I had a question or two. I am experiencing fequent lockups when I play WoW (not a particularly demanding game cpu or gpu-wise) and Firefox 2.0 crashes like nobody's business. My original overclock on my e6300 was 3.136Ghz and...

Just wondering if anyone knew why this might be happening. My specs are listed below. When I set my fsb in the Bios, when I save and reboot, it always comes out 1 less than what I set it to, i.e, most recently, I set the fsb to 449 and everything reads as 448. Any ideas? Thanks, Rich

I'm not sure if this is in the right place, so feel free to move it. I have a Panasonic PV-GS15 camcorder (one of the ones that uses the little digital cassette tapes) that I bought about 18 months ago. When I set up my new computer, I realized that I had misplaced or lost the CD that came...

I just started using Firefox 2.0 the other day and I get quite a bit of lockups, i.e. This Program is no longer responding. Anyone else having this issue?

From the Windows Vista Features Page: Is anyone that is beta testing Vista using this feature? I'm not gullible enough to think that flash drives will be a cheap substitute for adding actual Ram sticks, but I am curious about how it works. Essentially, it's just a faster swap-file, no? Let's...

Hi folks, Orthos failed in a little over an hour. Would you think that it's a cpu error? I'm thinking if it was the memory, it would have failed sooner, but I'm not very experienced with this stuff. For next steps, maybe increse the vCore and try again? This test was at a fsb of 455 with a...

Hi folks, I'm working on my first overclock with an E6300 and I've hit a wall and I'm not sure what to do next. I ran 12 hours stable on Orthos last night at 3.115Ghz but when I try to push it past that, Orthos fails within 15 minutes. I'm wondering if I'm at my memory limitation and...

I'm just curious. With my new system, I bought an eVGA 7600GT. I know that I won't be able to afford a dx10 card upon release, but I was thinking, since I'll have until mid-January to participate in the Step-up program, how much should the current high-ish end cards go down by then? I'm...

I just built my new system this week and downlaoded SiSoftware Sandra Lite 2005.SR3. I installed it with no issues, but when I try to actually open the program, nothing happens. I checked the task manager and I see RpcSandraSrv.exe under processes, but nothing in applications. My system...

I just built my new rig yesterday, I've caught the overclocking bug and I'm worried that I'm gonna break something! I'm running a stock cooler and so far, I've pushed my E6300 to 2.9Ghz. Yay! According to Coretemp, both cores are running at 66C at full load with Orthos. On each of my o/c...

Okay, I know this is going to sound really dumb, but how do I take screenshots of my desktop to veryify my o/c? Do people use some sort of screencapture program? I've never been able to figure out where the files go when I press PrtScn. Thanks for smartening me up! Rich

I just completed my new build last night and am starting to work on my first overclock. I have a few different programs up to monitor temps and I'm not sure what to go by. I'm at stock voltage right now and I'm running at 2.5 Ghz (350x4). Intel TaT says my temps are 65C & 65C. (I'm running...

I just booted up my new rig for the 1st time tonight and when I get past the BIOS options, I get an error: NTLDR Missing Press Ctr-Alt-Del to restart I can get into Bios (DS3 board) but Im not sure how to get it to move forward to install windows. My HDD was pulled from my old system...

The last part for my new build just arrived today and I'm going to start setting it up when I get off work in 30 minutes. Yay! I was wondering, since I'm only starting out with a 1 gig stick of RAM, how will that affect my o/c when I add a 2nd stick? Will I need to start over, or will the...

I'm taking my new-ish 320gig Seagate out of my old PC and putting it in my new build. Should I reformat it, or can I just clear all the files off it? It does not have the OS running off it on the old PC but it will be the one and only drive for my new system. Thanks! Rich

Something really wierd just happened. I've been using firefox forever and it's always worked normally. Two hours ago, I read my email and check the headlines, close my browser and go to feed my daughter. I come back downstairs to check a few more things, open Firefox and find it's...

Hi folks, As soon as my RAM arrives on Thursday, my new rig will be complete. Yay! I have a question though. My system will, for now at least, be running with only one drive. I know many people run the OS one one drive, storage on another and a third (sometimes) for games, but I don't...

I've seen several threads where posters cite usb keyboards and mouses as a problem when it comes to overclocking on a DS3 board. OR maybe is was some Bios funtion related to them, I'm not sure. Right now, I'm using a wireless keyboard and mouse that I'd like to use on my new build but the...

Hi folks, The last piece I need to boot my new build has been ordered and is on the way...exciting! I could use a little help though. This will be my first build ever and I plan on overclocking. I'm wondering if there is any guide somewhere that goes through, pretty much step-by-step...

...what are my chances that buying a 2nd stick of the same brand/model in a month or so will run in dual channel? The RAM is the very last part I need to make my new C2D build bootable. I'm buying only 1 stick (for budget reasons) of Corsair XMS2. Thanks, Rich
