  • Music in Flash and the back button?

    I have a home page that plays soft music via flash so people can mute if they want. When they go to sub pages, the music is not there by design. When they click "back" in their browser, they return to the home page, and the music plays again... regardless if they clicked mute already (the swf reloads from the first frame in the timeline). How can I prevent the music from playing again either completely, or by remembering the mute selection by a cookie?

    I know that I can create an index2 that does not have the music at all, but I was looking for a more elegant solution.

  • Need car pics for interactive website. Any ideas where I can get them?

    All cars sold in the United States for the past 10 years. The pics need to all be side view, same rough size, no background (transparent is best), and I would like to have the original RGB dealer colors so users of the site can color "their" specific car. I am willing to pay for the pics, but have yet to find a company that would sell.

  • Noise from motherboard - any ideas?

    I have an ECS K7VTA3 (v2) mobo that is making a high pitched noise whenever there seems to be some kind of IO going on. Before you say mem, disk, fan, or power supply, let me just say that this is NOT the issue. It's almost that you can hear the CPU working, as it comes and goes with activity (scroll the screen, it squeaks). I have also reseated the CPU with new heat-goo because it seems that it is from the CPU itself. I also vacuumed everything out. There is a row of standup capacitors near the CPU. Is it possible that one of them is going bad and making a noise when used?

    From a cold start (1st power of the day), it will sometimes lockup just after the POST, other times, the POST never even starts. Power cycle a few times, and will eventually boot to a normal and stable XP environment.

    If it is a bad cap or other component on the mobo, and it eventually does blow, is there ANY risk of fire if I left the computer on 7x24?
