Hornet One

For some reason I had trouble logging in today. And now that I do, I am unable to set any status effectively. Well, I can set it in my client, but no matter what status I put, even Busy, it will not show to my contacts. All my contacts always sees me as online and available no matter what status I put, and only when I sign out that it shows me off line.

Anyone knows how to fix this? Please help

I ran the confliker worm clearer downloaded from Symantec website. It didnt detect any worm but asked that I restart my system, and so I did. Then, my PC fail to boot. It got stuck at the blue windows xp bootscreen. I turn it off and on again, restart under safe mode, failed to boot up too

Finally, I select the boot with last known good setting and it can boot up. I do a system restore to 2 days ago and now everything is fine.

I was wondering if I did something wrong or so? I plan to run that scanner at other PC, but afraid the same issue might happens

Sometimes after I boot up my computer and go online, I notice my network connection shows that its transferring data and this lasted for few minutes before it goes off.

From the task manager, it shows that its downloading something at about 50kBytes per second...

I wonder if I can check which task is doing this?

Thanks

I couldn't access the site at all. I tried to ping the site and get all request time out.

My internet is working fine though (as I'm posting this question here)

I'm trying to understand the story in the first FEAR game

Alma loves killing the good guys soldiers, but there is one scene where Jen comes out of the elevator and investigate the area. If you look at the upper level with your flashlight on, you can see little Alma is standing there in the dark.

In another part, when Alma appears in the elevator with Alice Wade in it, she didn't kill Alice either. It was the other bad guy who killed Alice

So I was wondering, why Alma doesn't kill these people? She doesn't seems to be on the good side either, killing the good guys soldiers.

Its not the virus type, this is the hard shutdown, where the PC just turn off.

Any idea what could be causing this?

Knowing that you may not see him/her again for a very long time.

last week my a friend of 5 years moved back to other state after finishing uni, after we talked for a hour or so, we somewhat didn't know what to say when we had to say goodbye. I guess we didn't know how to say goodbye to a 5 years friendship, lol. It was tough for me

What would you say anyway?

Thanks for all answers

The object is a large screw, flat tip, almost 1cm in diameter. it was attached to a heavy swing so I took quite hard of a hit on my head.

I've went to the hospital last night to stop the bleeding, I did not have any concussion so the nurse said I will be ok.

But I was just wondering, could the impact fracture my skull? I'm no expert here of course, so I don't know whats the effect of skull fracture, if it would have kill me if I had one or what.

They did not take any xrays. Still have some weird feeling in the head this morning, but i don't know if its from the lack of sleep last night.

and finally, a not so important question. Will my hair grow again after the shave a huge spot off? lol

thanks for all the replies.

Had a minor problem, now my glasses frame has blood stains, and so was my shirt and pants.

Is there anything I can use to clean them?

water and soap doesn't seems to work on my glasses.

Lets say you're alone tonight and you have to choose between that two, which would you rather do?

assuming you haven't watch that movie yet

I'd choose the guitar

Despite your intentions of wanting to do nothing less than the right thing to do.

But the result is always someone getting pissed off by you, disappointed in you or so.

Just made me wish I could be perfect, even though I know no one can...

Do you know why?

As in reinstalling the operating system (Windows, Linux, etc.. )

What was it about

Recently, I've been randomly getting these errors

Generic Host Process for Win 32

Windows Explorer cause a problem...

I suspected it might be an virus, but so far my PcCillin antivirus has not been able to detect anything, and also Spybot

HijackThis doesn't shows any strange entry as well.

So, I was wondering if there's anything that can detect those rare or new virus without depending on virus signature alone? Perhaps monitor for any suspicious activity in my PC or something like that...

Thank you..

Sometimes I just wants to rant about so many things but there's no one to rant to. It seems to only send others running away or avoid any further conversation, lol...

How do you control the urge to rant anyway?
