I'm not familiar with that phone. But often the phone comes with software which has a tool to convert media (including videos) into something it supports. Might be worth having a gander at the Nokia Suite. the software that comes with th N95 8gb is TERRIBLE i downloaded magic video converter for co...

Unfortunately, It seems like this problem would have been best avoided by doing the job properly. You should never fuck around with an infected machine before taking backups of important data, It's really just asking for trouble. Depending how fucked it is, it's probably easiest to plug the hdd int...

After the malware was removed, but before you rebooted it by any chance? After using the usual hijack this etc to clean out the spyware i saw she hadn't updated windows at all and wasn't running an anti-virus. The laptop was running nicely at this point and so i installed AVG and ran windows update...

it was running fine after malware removal, from what he said it sounds like it was the windows update that fucked it

Hmmm, drastic solution is to open up the laptop, remove the 2.5" HDD, get a converter cable (iirc it IS a smaller cable, I could be wrong however) and wack it in a normal windows pc as a slave, you might then be able to save the data, format the drive, and do a fresh install once it's back in ...

he's had a look at that, but apparently you need to run the Bart CD on the machine BEFORE it dies to create the bootable disc, and he can't get the machine to boot at all

Afte...

Probably could image the entire drive, but it would be a pointless exercise if that thread is to believed as it looks as if they're tied into individual ps3s. i THOUGHT i had heard of people doing it when they discovered that you could whack in any old 2.5" drive. people were copying their sav...

Did he take a uk spec one over? I take it he used a step up volt dobber? Would they even fix those under warranty in merka? If he mentions it when he takes it for repair then they might put a note on it so they don't just bin it and give him a new one, but as for cracking it open to get at the hdd,...

The sony price you posted looks a tad steep. I think brand wise there is really very little difference in picture quality until you shell out for a philips, and even then it's not much of an increase in quality. Look what I found at comet! HUEG TV! yea that sony was £572 when i first found it, but ...

i may have posted before that my mate took his PS3 to america and seems to have fried it, or it was damaged intransit i don't know, but it doesn't work and he wants to send it off for repair, but is worried about losing his saves. does anyone know if its possible to backup a ps3 hard drive? i was th...

found THIS one on Amazon. looks pretty tasty to me, only thing it doesn't seem to do is 1080p but I don't think my parents will notice will they? my dad has his heart set on Sony cos all the DVD and video malarkey is all Sony, but I'm right in thinking it will all work just fine with a different bra...

i've been using it since i got my new computer in january (thanks by the way for recommending parts, didn't have too much trouble putting it together and she works like a dream) i've been getting on fine with Fista, but it actually seems a little slower since SP1, could just be cos i've got lots of ...

my parents asked my advice on TVs and i don't really know much so thought i'd ask you lot.

they are replacing the main tv for the lounge, i reckon they probably want about a 32" but not sure what brand to go for

It's amusing enough, kind of like the City of Heroes (or most modern RPGs) character generation system. I doubt what you get there would spoil the game - if that's the most fun thing in the game it'll be shit anyway. As for the money, you get the money off Spore if you buy it (possibly pre-order, a...

I have one of those drives, but I got it mainly for converting HDDVDs to BluRay, so I can still watch my small collection of HDDVDs as if my 360 player ever broke it would be irreplaceable. Not had much luck decoding the data so far, but there's no real urgency so I haven't tried that hard. In addi...
