  • Windows not responding?!?!?

    Windows suddenly stopped functioning.

    I know for sure it's not a hardware issue because ubuntu runs without any problem.

    And windows runs properly too if it's running in safe mode.

    I tried running it in last known good configuration and sfc /scannow but nope it's just not working. I can't figure out if it's the work of a virus or something else.

    Things you could note

    - I torrent films. The problem occured 2-4 days after I downloaded the last torrent. (Nothing happened before, I know not all torrents are infected.)

    - I downloaded chatscript the day before it started. (It's a trusted program and I didn't even open the zip file.)

    - I hibernated the laptop day before it started.

    What happens?

    I turn my laptop on, log in and after the desktop loads, it feels like the problem doesn't even exist and after 1-3 minutes nothing is working and if I wait long enough my desktop is covered with transparent white color and get a popup saying something like "This process is not responding" And if I click on end process it kills winlogon.exe maybe?

    I think winlogon.exe gets killed because everything is gone. My icons, start menu. The only thing thats left is my mouse cursor. I need to restart by pressing the power button. I don't want to do it again and again.

    Can someone tell me what it could be?

    I will try to download an anti-virus to scan my laptop because my avira won't even work on safe mode.

  • Side spins in snooker?

    Side spins are the most commonly used spins in a snooker game.

    Often people don't know how to use it the proper way and sometimes make a foul.

    I also don't know how to properly perform a side spin in while playing. I'm going to show you couple of pictures (I made in ms-paint so it may not make sense)

    Demonstrating the way I use side spins and how it plays out.

    http://prntscr.com/3xzmct

    The picture above shows where I'm precisely aiming at on the cue ball.

    http://prntscr.com/3xzny9

    And the second link (picture) shows what happens when I usually take the shot.

    The blue line represents what I'm expecting the cue ball to go to

    And the black line represents where the ball actually goes.

    So I take the shot with some confidence whatsoever and the ball just follows the black line without even touching the red ball :(

    I've been playing for a month so it's pretty natural for me to make that kind of mistakes but can you explain what's wrong to me so I can get better with this shot?

    - Does that happen when you hit the ball hard?

    - I should use the chalk often? (Sometimes I forget to use it at all)

    OR SOMETHING ELSE?

  • Create .exe from 64-bit to 32-bit compatible? [RUBY]?

    I'm making a ruby program and I'm using a 64-bit windows but I'm trying

    to create an exe file that can run in 32-bit windows.

    Is there a program that can help me do that?

    I know Ocra can compile a ruby code into exe but will it be 32-bit

    compatible if the code is compiled from a 64-bit machine?

    Thanks!

  • Character arrays in C programming?

    This is a repost and improved version of my previous question

    /* Method 1 */

    char name[5] = "Tang"

    printf("The value of name is %s\n", name);

    /* Method 2 */

    char name[5];

    name[0] = 'T';

    name[1] = 'a';

    name[2] = 'n';

    name[3] = 'g';

    name[4] = '\0';

    printf("The value of name is %s\n", name);

    What are the difference between method 1 & method 2?

    I know that you can reuse the variable named 'main' by method 2 but are there other things you can do?

    Please be simple as you can because I'm just starting to program with C so I don't understand complicated words.

    char name[1] = 'a';

    char name[2] = 'n';

    char name[3] = 'g';
