Assuming you have access to a computer that can both download off the internet as well as burn CDs and has Nero or something similar installed, you could go here and download a disk image of a linuxliveCD with recovery tools built in, then use it to recover and move the data to a floppy or something ...

Normally if I start getting funky pop-ups, redirected home pages, additional bookmarks, etc and neither Ad-Aware nor Spybot picks up anything I will enter the name of the site and "remove" in Google. 99% of the time someone has posted steps to get rid of the offended irritant. I know I had one bit ...

Stupid e-mail scan didn't pick it up until after it was opened. Blah. I got it before it got anywhere though. Infected a temp file or two and that was it, avast! caught it and kept it from spreading. Was sent to me in a passworded zip file with the password in the body of the e-mail. This is a ...

The Elder Scrolls (Insert Number): (Name).

First one I remember was The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall, they had The Elder Scrolls: Arena, current one is The Elder Scrolls: Marrowind and two add-ons for it (Bloodmoon and... er, forgot the other one).

Have you considered running WindowsXP install disk and running the "repair" option? It would avoid having to do a fresh install, but you might have to retweak your registry when you are done... or back it up and import it after the repair. Which might make the entire repair process pointless.

Of course if you can't shutdown and turn on a BIOS password... I think you might be SOL. 'Course I wonder if you could script a program that would disable users completely after 10 PM and leave only a very restricted Guest open for use...

Very true. I have been playing TES since Daggerfall, and from what I understand Oblivion is going back to the roots of TES. And it looks beautiful! Assuming they include their editor again, I know I plan on starting my own mod(s) the day I get it home!

So... I need to brush up - a lot - on my sysadmin skills. THEN learn Perl and/or scripting?

Might also want to try Everest Home Edition. You can get it here. 'Course I think it only runs on Windows, but we can't all be perfect.

Have seen the screen shots and read the previews currently available for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. It looks great! But has anyone heard if they are planning to support any kind of multiplayer format in this one? Not that the lack of it will stop me from playing it to death, and then modding it ...

Not yet. I have to upgrade my system so it can handle it with any kind of speed that makes it playable. I have, however, started on the new live action version of the new World of Darkness. That's a blast.

I am using Knoppix now. I like DS Linux for the web browser (it uses Firefox over Mozilla and I am partial to Firefox) but aside from that - Knoppix is HUGE . Better make sure your DSL is tweaked before you download it. :)

I also am trying a rescue Linux LiveCD at the moment with partitioning tools ...

Cool. After ram and video I will pick up a pair then. Thanks!

I am slowly but surely plotting out the upgrading of my computer, and have a question:

After upgrading my RAM and Video, I have been thinking of getting two 70 GB Western Digital 10000 RPM hard drives and configuring them in RAID 0 for gaming and video editing purposes, with an external 250 on USB ...

Nevermind, I figured it out! And being able to go to /mnt/hda2 makes a LiveCD the perfect tool to extract data from corrupt hard drives! Perfect!

Got it up, but how do I actually use it to navigate to my hard drive?

I am running DS Linux from CD-ROM and am trying to access my hard drive. What do I do in DS Linux to do this? Do I need to use smbClient or is there another included program that can do the same thing? PLEASE HELP!

Ever want to give Linux a try but afraid to actually install it on your hard drive and risk altering the file system from FAT32 or NTFS into something unrecognizable? (Been there, done that). Then I HIGHLY recommend DS Linux ! I am running it on the Dell listed in my .sig and it is great! Basically ...

I would run your WindowsXP disk and select the "repair" option. Assuming either your PC is bootable from CD or you have a floppy boot disk.

Can anyone direct me to a website/howto/faq/guide on Unix/Linux Shell Scripting? I want to learn how to do it but just need a point in the right direction. Thanks!

Might want to go to Slackware.com and get version 10.0. Its free to download via ftp or torrent, or you can order all four disks for 39.95. At the very least you could download ZipSlack which runs off of a DOS partition to get used to using Linux.

I have tried the usual suspects: WinAMP and the free ones I could find on download.com. One thing you might want to pick up though - which is completely free! - gspot codec information appliance. Simple to use and works on finding codecs for the ones (like .avi) that MediaPlayer can't find.

One Sick Tzim

Another thing you might want to look at, especially if you have never worked with Linux before, is finding a CD copy of linux that doesn't actually run on your system. Just works off a burned CD.

This is more theory, really, but....

Has anyone ever tried tweaking a pocket PC? Avoiding the obvious question of 'Why?' and its answer 'Because we can', I am curious if anyone has attempted it and met with any success?

I have found that when a video requires a liscense and MediaPlayer starts looking for it, you are pretty much SOL. If you use any other mpeg viewer, it will simply fail to play. What happens is you download some video or another and next thing you know you're being asked to register on some French ...

Assuming you are using Windows XP, I would download a copy of Tweak UI from Microsoft, which is here. Once you have that, open the Logon branch and highlight Autologon. Then click the box next to the name you want to autologin and enter the password.
