That symbol is a Chinese character, I think it means 10,000 in Chinese but maybe someone else can confirm...

You may need to right click on the desktop and click "Refresh", for the system to pick up that you've made a shortcut hidden. Otherwise, it may be your system is set up to display hidden icons (although this isn't the case by default). If so, enter any folder you like, click Tools > Folder...

As far as I know, HP don't allow you to overclock their laptops, and I would not really recommend it anyway for the simple reason that most laptops are at their limit of heat dissipation as it is, and overclocking = heat. That said, take a look at the sticky at the top of this section -...

Worst one I got caught out with was the MSBlaster worm (otherwise known as Lovesan). Every time you started the computer, it came up with the below message. After 60 seconds, your time was up and the pc shut down. :)

There is a way you can do it. Basically, any shortcut icon on your desktop can have a keyboard shortcut assigned to it. To create a shortcut to your D drive, go to My Computer, right click on the D drive and click Create Shortcut. It may prompt you to put it on the desktop, click yes. Then right...

There is a way to swap motherboards without losing everything, you would need to carry out a Repair Install of Windows. Visually the setup would look very similar, but what it's actually doing is keeping your programs, files etc and redetecting all the hardware and drivers. You would get a...

My mother recently received a spam eBay email, asking her to write to confirm that Paypal payment would be acceptable payment for a pair of of ice skates. Given that she didn't have an account with eBay, it was quickly spotted. Although this isn't the same MO, it might suggested a new surge...

Try Karafun, although there are various different karaoke formats, this one supports most of them. You of course need the tracks as well as the software to play them. These can be bought online, or created yourself using MIDI files and the included editor, along with the freely available lyrics.

It is my understanding that while you are the legal guardian of a child, you have different legal powers to monitor what you child is doing, however I also believe that does not extend to independent adults. Because of malicious capabilities of such technologies discussed here, I'm afraid it...

Downloading of copyrighted material (including music) using p2p software is illegal and against the forum rules to discuss. Furthermore it would seem this is your intention. Thread closed.

Hi Kuli24, please don't create duplicate threads across several sections in future. One thread, one problem please.

The Device Manager (Start, Run, "devmgmt.msc", Enter) will tell you the basics. If you want anything more in depth like Nevakonaza I recommend downloading a free program like Everest or Sis Sandra. They'll tell you all you'd ever want to know plus more.

I've merged the duplicate threads. Please take care in future ivo122.

It flushes through ink to try to dislodge the dried ink that's causing the clog. It uses a fair bit of ink, and don't be surprised if you have to go through the process several if not a few times, to get it sorted. The printer does a small amount of head cleaning every time it starts printing...

It is illegal to do so, and also imorral. Ask your neighbours permission, then it becomes neither illegal nor imorral. People have been fined and I believe jailed for piggybacking someone else's network. Your neighbour might be foolish not to encrypt the network, but that doesn't give you the...

I am closing this thread, if the thread creator can satisfy me by Private Message that the music in question is not subject to copyright restrictions, I'll gladly reopen the thread. Otherwise, review the forum rules linked by Jet. Thread closed.

That site streams tv shows that are subject to copyright protection, for free. It is therefore clearly illegal, no different to downloading a tv show elsewhere, and against the rules. Thread Closed.

Three people have just told you to read the rules. Now it's my turn. Thread Closed.
