I am using Win XP Home SP3. I normally leave my computer on 24/7 I use AVG antivirus (Free) and Zonealarm Pro and am on ADSL. I have begun encountering the following message when I look at my machine in the morning "Windows was unable to save all data for the file \Device\Hard drive Vol1\$UsnJrnl:$J The data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or the network connection. Please try to save the file elsewhere." The machine is sometimes frozen and I need to do a hot boot to restart. Sometimes it does an automatic DisKchK usually shows no errors just restarts. Today showed "Deleting orphaned file record Segment 245289" Once restarted the machine works perfectly with no hiccups. I have a full backup (Acronis) on an external HDD from prior to this message appearing just in case. Does anyone have any ideas what the error message may be warning me of and what I should do? Many thanks in anticipation. I am a long term user but have little experience with "computer speak"

Hi guys, ive another quick queston for you today, regarding a problem that I am having with opening applications.

This all started a short while back, when I spent a rather long period of time without an internet connection, due to my phone line being disconnected.
Eventually after much searching around for deals and research, I established a new connection via Vodaphone. The connection involves plugging a device into the frount of my computer, but anyway this is beside the point.

It became clear immediatly that certain applications would not open, including all PDF files. I would click to "download" these files, and then proceed to "open" them when asked the question. It would then begin to do so and open a relevant window, which would for the mostpart remain blank. Within the few preceeding seconds the "open" or "save" box would appear again. If I continued to select "open", (or "save" for that matter) the process would repeat again and again for all eternity.

I have tried downloading Acrobat Adobe, but this has failed to achieve any successful results, and I have noticed no difference.

Thank you in advance.

I bought a new video card and PSU. I plugged in everything fine, everything works. Except, my DVD drive won't open. I can't even get the CD that's in it, lol. I plugged the SATA into my hard drive, the other one to the back of the CD drive, and the other end to the PSU. I have tried downloading drivers, rehooking in everything, etc, but I can't get power to my CD drive. I really need help. D:

Hello there ComputerHelpForum-people!

Im somewhat of a hardcore gamer, I tend to play quite a lot, but ever since a couple of years ago, I have had this strange issue.
I thought that I'd first of all post my computer specs:
Asus P6T Deluxe X58
Intel Core i7 2.66GHz
Nvidia GeForce 8800GTX with a Thermaltake heatsink and fan on it for extra cooling, as it was overheating with it's stock cooler.
3 x 1GB Corsair PC3-12800 RAM
And old 320GB HDD and a newer 180GB SATA drive
I can't remember what PSU im using, but it's 580W, and it's just as new as the motherboard and CPU.
Im running a dualview setup with two monitors, and old 19", and a new 24" Samsung 245b.

Basicly the previous computer I had worked okay fine. Sure it was getting a bit slow on it's old age, but it was a fairly powerful computer. The only problem was that you could play, and suddenly the FPS would drop to a 5-15fps for no reason. This is most noticable when I play WoW. In bigger places, when I look out, I have 10-20 frames, but if I just look down sliiightly, it pops up to 60, which is max with the screen im using.
Now you think that it's just because it's a vast open space, and that's why it's lagging, even though im sure that my computer should be powerful enough to pull it, as I know people with far weaker computers, doing better FPS than me.
But then strange thing is, that is does it in smaller games aswell. Like Left 4 Dead, Call of Duty 4, Trine. Stuff like that, which is should be able to run with no problems. I can play with 60fps and no problems, and suddenly: BAM! 10-20fps.. I can then play around and sometimes it pops back up all of the sudden. Doesn't really make any sense. I have monitored GPU and CPU temperatures and load while it does this, and it shouldn't really do it. Lots of memory left, my CPU only uses like.. 5%, and my GPU is at the same levels as before it did it.
I then changed my computer to the specs it has now, where the only thing that survived from the old computer, was the HDD's and the GPU. My personal guess is that it's the GPU that is dying on me, it is faily old, and it's the only thing not changed. I have tried closing down all background processes, which doesn't help. I have tried formatting my computer, which doesn't help. So in the end, im just damn tired of everything. I bought a new computer because I wanted to play the better games really well, but this nonsense makes it not-enjoyable. I really hope you can help me. I will answer any questions as fast as possible, in case you have any.

Thanks in advance

Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron 700m, and after it's on for maybe 15 min. it'll just shut down due to over heating.

I downloaded i8kfangui to control the fan speed and it works and my laptop doesn't overheat.

The problem is, when I run that program, sure the laptop doesn't overheat, but it goes ridiculously slow =(.

Does anyone have any experience with that program? Or know a different way to help?

I recently tried to reformat my computer but, turns out i didn't need to. I put the CD in and one thing lead to another.

Hey everyone,

Im at uni at the moment and I only have access to one port. Im looking for a way to make a link between a program running on another port and the usable port. Can anyone help?

I wrote a little guide on how to secure/encrypt your email for free on my site at http://gatorgrad.com.

It's easy to do. The email certificates won't cost you a dime and if you already use an email client, it most likely works for this.

I need some help guys. I don't know what happened to my computer monitor, all I can see is the mouse pointer and the rest is black. The computer boots up normally, the display is good until after it is already in windows. I can see it boots up the bios and I can even enter on the bios and change some values. I tried the monitor in another computer and its good. The problem just start when its already in windows. All I can see is the mouse pointer and screen saver. What I remember doing last was installing some updates for windows( I can't even remember what kind of update). This is the same when in safe mode. Basically I don't know where to start since I can't see anything..
