There's also the fact that the newest Mincraft version runs... poorly.

[Thief^]

Yeah Minecraft may not have GPU-destroying realism, but good god does it draw a lot.

Edit: I should test it on my laptop, it's got one of the low-end AMD APUs.

Hello, I've yet another issue with my computer.

Since yesterday, I cannot access to icons on my desktop nor open files and applications by using the "Start" menu and, when I enter "explorer" in the cmd console, I receive the message "Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion;" when I rebooted yesterday, the problem was settled but it rebegin today.

How could I resolve the issue permanantely?

Nothing could be easy, could it? My brother's computer is now failing POST - earlier today, it was giving 3 short beeps, pause and repeat, I reseated the RAM and now it's generating a short followed by a long, pause and repeat. Mobo is Foxconn. I can't find anything myself, anyone know what's probably having the issue?

EDIT: Now that I've fond the manual for what I think is the right mobo type, I think that the first code may be it reporting a base 64k RAM failure (which I think means one or more sticks is dead), and the seconds is I derped up reseating the sticks. Maybe.

Just seat the sticks carefully and test them one by one. If you have another computer that works, test with a stick of ram from that. If it keeps having problems you're either not seating it right or the mobo socket is bad. Also make sure you're using the right socket when the sockets aren't all full.

Funnily enough, tried that a day or two ago. All of the sticks seem to be good (though with one of them, while passing POST, it didn't boot up entirely), as do all the sockets. Though now when we put in more than two (he has 4 2 gig sticks) and attempt to turn it on, it says that the CPU fan is dead (which it clearly isn't).

Something tells me that his motherboard is on the way out, though I won't be sure until we've gone over the whole thing with a can of air (the only reason we haven't yet is my brother insists it's not the issue (though you should see his CPU heatsink. Put simply, you can't tell the fins apart, it's so choked with dust)) and try once more.

Oh.

I'd put pretty good odds he's already ruined something important then, either the motherboard or the CPU.

Hello,

I would like to know if "C:\Program Files\003\buuoujqmrk32.exe" is a malware.

[Graknorke]

A cursory google search says it's malware but generally isn't picked up by antivirus scanners so maybe isn't.

[miauw62]

you should install gentoo and see if that helps.

googling "is [filename] malware" will always turn up "yes". try using a virus scanner.

thats malware, just delete it and be done with it.

I have a very old scanner (Mustek UB1200 Plus), which doesn't work on Windows 7 x64 due to a lack of drivers for 64-bit systems. Windows 7 displays it as an "unknown device".
I installed its drivers in Windows XP Mode. However, I can't connect the scanner to the virtual Windows XP: Windows Virtual PC also displays it as an unknown device, trying to connect it to Windows XP through Virtual PC (USB - Attach...) brings up an error message.

What should I do: try connecting the scanner through other means, try it in a different virtualization program, or simply buy a new scanner?

[Rose]

Probably buy a new scanner.

[Thief^]

A quick google suggests VueScan (http://www.hamrick.com/) might have its own driver for the scanner, you could try that.

Failing that, you probably need a new scanner.

So I agreed to build a computer for someone (and be paid quite well for it). Is this a decent computer we came up with? He wants to be able to do decent gaming and have it work with a capture card.

[Thief^]

I'd personally drop the soundcard and replace the WiFi USB poppet with a proper WiFi card with antennas. Or just cable the damn thing to the router for a fraction of the cost and better reliability.

The 660 is slightly old now, still good but you might consider the 750ti instead, similar performance IIRC and a hell of a lot quieter.
