No sound from OptiPlex 980?
I had an unfortunate incident that had temporarily caused the hard drive from running correctly, but once it did start working normally there was no longer any sound. I recently installed a new hard drive with windows pro, the previous OS like the other hard drive. Despite this there still was no sound: I believe now there must be something wrong with the sound components or anything connected to the motherboard that is responsible for generating sounds. I noticed that when turning the system on, you can somewhat hear the cpu or the noises the desktop makes when turning on through the speakers of the tv (I use it as my monitor in VGA). Do I need to replace a component or the entire system?
1 AnswerDesktops4 years agoHow to solve 5 digit encrypted messages?
I recently came across numbered cipher messages. The tool used to make it was a Mexican Army Disk Cipher Wheel. After doing some research each message appearently requires a key word, which in this case is always four lettered words. I been looking around as to how to solve the messages (even made the wheel myself), but can't seem to get anything. At least anything that shows a readable message, ect. So how does one use the wheel, applying the key word somehow and reveal the message?
Here's an example: key word is GOLD

1 AnswerOther - Health7 years agoHow badly did I mess up/ are the results from MEPS?
It's been a while (over a month) since I had gone to MEPS. I messed up a part of that "confidence test", where you look into something you would see at an eye doctor's to see how well your vision is. Where you call out letters in a certain row, despite the whole damn thing is intentionally blurred. I said yes to seeing the row the assistant asked, but failed to say whatever letters. Everything else during the physical I did well, aside from lacking a few pounds for the required weight. In the end I was not qualified due to something about "confrontation", I'm guessing they think I'm "afraid to stand up for oneself," so I guess when being interviewed by the nurse I should've told her I did fight people back in the day. My recruiter hasn't really contacted me as much as I have to him about what's going to happen next. Can't go ask him since I went to a USMC office a town over and have no transportation. It is almost like he's been avoiding me. I ask for more info, but don't really get much of an answer from him. So don't really know how bad the results were all because of that "confidence test".
2 AnswersMilitary7 years agoCan you be diagnosed with any "mental disorder" by a nurse during the physical when enlisting for the Marine Corps.?
Recently went to take the physical as required by the Marine Corps.I don't if it was because I accidently interrupted the nurse when she paused to catch her breath thinking it was the end of a question when asking the questions of past health.Or when I maturely answered her after telling me something condescending and disrespectful when I went to give the blood sample.Or the fact the building had the ACs blowing refrigerated air and was shivering along with other guys and girls that were doing their physicals as well,kind of making us look "nervous".I believe the nurse is not a licensed psychiatrist and was rather showing a superiority complex.I was the only one to have been called into an office for some strange interview I wasn't told was part of the process, after what I previously stated happened.It rather seemed rigged to insure whatever answers I gave would mark me as having the "psychological disorder" on the spot.I don't know why,but it just seems from beginning to end you are pushed to sign a waiver of any kind.They couldn't believe I have never done drugs,or have a clean records.I know the seriousness of the "diagnoses" the nurse convinced the Doc. and refuse to allow it to ruin a career in the Marine Corps.Is there a way to fight this unfair conclusion on my physical?I was told by the recruiter I can sign a waiver for it,but I went in with my own expectations to not have any "holds" or rather "smudges" ruin my enlistment.I aim to keep it that way during my service.
1 AnswerLaw & Ethics7 years agoTask bar and internet window frozen, do not work?
Time and time again after a short time, I cannot open or use programs on the task bar. If I minimize the program I am using, I cannot bring it back up. If it isn't the task bar, the internet window doesn't allow me to interact with whatever site I am in. I have to casually put the laptop into sleep mode and wake it up in order to regain control over either one, but for a short time. Any way to fix this?
1 AnswerSoftware7 years agoPop-ups won't stop popping up?!?
Recently I accidently downloaded some sort of poor "pc protecting" software. I had to decline everything before being able to close the installing wizard, but even doing that it still installed something. Now every time I click on empty spaces or buttons in sites that never before had some hidden pop-up link now have pop-ups come up. They promote poor "anti-virus" or "anti-spyware" software. I also noticed there are at times words highlighted in green with two bars underlining them promoting product not related to the word. How can get rid of this spamming software to return my pc to normal?

5 AnswersInvesting10 years agoWhat roman coin is this?
So I recently received a nice roman coin, which has a man with a strange looped crown on the obverse. On the reverse is has two figures full bodied facing each other holding up a circle (or a looped rope) up at each other as well. Below the line they're standing on, it has something like "siso" don't know what it means. They also look like they have wings. Don't know if they're two victories.
1 AnswerOther - Society & Culture10 years agoYoutube invitation to earn revenue?
Well I recently received an invite to earn revenue from youtube, in which if I agree to this invite, they put advertisements on my videos and I get paid for it. But one thing that worries me is that some of my videos are these instrumentals from music bands where I write my own lyrics instead of the originals (like a song cover type of thing). And one thing worries me if that if I do accept the revenue and such, that in some way it is like copy right infringement because to me it would be like me making money off of other people's work (being the instrumental part). So is it a good idea to do it or not? I wouldn't want by a chance my account being terminated for copy right infringement towards it turning into some law suit. Will youtube take some kind of responsibility so something like that doesn't happen? Like they will protect the videos I have on my account from copy right ground and things like that?
