    WMP 11 won't install

    in General Help

    "According to the FAQ, if you are using MCE you need to have "Update Rollup 2" installed. Whether or not that's the same as SP2, I don't know, since I don't use MCE.

    "Installing the Player on Windows XP Media Center Edition

    This release of the Player supports Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 Update Rollup 2; however, it does not support previous releases of Windows XP Media Center Edition.

    If you have Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, but have not installed Update Rollup 2, you must go to Windows Update and install Update Rollup 2 before you can install Windows Media Player 11.

    Windows Media Player 11 for Windows XP cannot be installed on computers running Windows XP Media Center Edition 2002 or Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004."

    dos shell HAHA i remember that.

    I go even further back then that, we had a a 286 33MHz 4MB of ram 64k video, 80MB hard drive Packerd Bell with a 15in color monitor, running DOS. What Now!!!

    i remember going on the internet with a 14.4Kbps modem.

    I aslo remember playing wolfenstein 3D the first day it came out in like 91.

    I remember the dos shell too. I had a packard bell too. It had a super fast 2400baud modem. xD This was with "Prodigy Classic.

    [pre]Modem 2400 (V.22bis) 2.4 kbit/s 240 B/s[/pre]  :haha:

    Oh, and you had to "park" the HDD before turning of the computer

    Sounds in IE7

    I just have IE6 in it there is a setting in Internet Options/advanced under multimedia  to "turn off sound in web pages" .That would probably work but not what you would want.

    That's different. That stops sounds/music that is embedded in web pages from playing.

    packet or datagram size

    Maximum transmission unit (Wikipedia)

    . A higher MTU brings higher bandwidth efficiency. However large packets can block up a slow interface for some time' date=' increasing the lag on other packets. For example a 1500 byte packet, the largest allowed by Ethernet (and hence most of the Internet), would block up a 14.4k modem for about one second.[/quote']

    Basicly if the MTU was set any higher than that, a 14.Kb modem would pause for a few seconds as it can only handle upto 14.4 Kb/s.  You have to have the packets small enough for the slowest link.

    Also, I found this.  Why An MTU Of !500 For Ethernet Networks (SECOND RESPONSE) I don't go there, I just Yahoo!'ed it.

    It seems there is still a lot of old hardware still out there. So until enough of it get's upgrated, 1500 will have to do.

    website blocking

    in General Help

    If it's just a couple of sites and you know the url's, then you could block the sites via the hosts file.  In XP %windir%system32driversetchosts

    Ex:

    127.0.0.1      ads1.msn.com

    since 127.0.0.1 points to nowhere the site wouldn't work.

    350 watt http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103934

    500 watt.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103937

    if you are intrested in the fancy lights there are good manufactures that make their power supplies with the colorful lights

    ATX is a standard for motherboard size and case size.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATX

    I have that exact one, the 500W. I've only had it for a couple of months, but haz had no problems with it at all. A power supply is one part of your computer where you don't want to go cheap.
