>>3172626
I do.

I accidentally all my touhou porn. What do I do?

>>3172626

My speakers pop sometimes, I don't think it's the speakers themselves because it does the same thing sometimes with headphones. I think I damaged my soundcard when I moved.

>>3172626
There's something wrong with my other computer. If I try to log into it in any mode other than Safe mode, the screen goes black and nothing happens.

>>3172642
xD LULZ

Sometimes when I'm using Vista, it changes to a blue screen of death and then reboots Windows.

>>3172642
Oh /jp/, you so crazy.

>>3172655
Is it an onboard soundcard?

>>3172659
Do you have drivers installed for your video card? Also, what operating system are you using?

>>3172626
My motherboard's integrated headphone jack does jack shit, but I can get the line out to work as rear speakers.
How do I switch rear and front sounds?

ITT /jp/ lies to others.

>>3172680

Yeah it's onboard, it's a realtek ac97.

SUNDAY RAY

>>3172680
A friend of mine has long been infected with the Lunix disease, and recently he has been trying to persuade me to "throw off the shackles of Windows" and replace the WinXP on my old laptop with Debian.
Give me some good reasons to say no ("I don't like the command line" and "But then I'll have to use WINE for everything" apparently aren't valid reasons).

>>3172732

>>3172682
The headphone jack is in the front, right?
Open Volume Control and see if it's listed separately.

>>3172708
Did anything notable happen around the time it stopped working?
You could try installing the latest drivers for your video card in Safe Mode.

>>3172709
Try muting anything that you're not using, like line-in or microphone (if you're not using those).

>>3172743
>>3172750
>>3172758
Whoa there, ZUN, no need to get your panties in a knot.

>>3172732
>"I don't like the command line" and "But then I'll have to use WINE for everything" apparently aren't valid reasons
Well, you don't really have to use the command line much, if at all, in Linux, and many programs have a Linux alternative.

But to answer your question, do you use any software that has no Linux alternative? Do other people who would be uncomfortable using Linux use your laptop? I suppose I could give you a better answer if you tell me why _you_ don't want to use Linux.

>>3172743
It's like I'm really on /g/!

>>3172759
I don't recall anything happening...
How do I find out what video card I have?

>>3172794
On that laptop, no and no. The real reason is that I'm resistant to change.
I'm asking for excuses, not proper reasons.

>>3172732
>>A friend of mine

Sure is normalbro around here. You should probably spend more fun time with your friends to relieve some of your stress.

To answer your question: tell him that most eroge and doujin games do not run on Lunix. That should keep him quiet.

/g/ posts better anime pics than /a/......

>>3172797
If you run the DirectX Diagnostics utility (Start -> Run -> dxdiag) I believe it will tell you what video card you have.

>>3172824
Well, it's kind of hard to tell you why you don't want to use Linux, but >>3172841 brought up a good point. Wine isn't perfect. There are many applications that are buggy or don't work at all under Wine. Go to the Wine Application Database (http://appdb.winehq.org/)), find an application that you use that doesn't work under Wine, and tell your friend that you need to be able to use that application.

>>3172841
But that's a lie, most of them work with WINE.

>>3172867

It doesn't matter. His normalfriend won't know this.

>>3172850

Because /g/ and /jp/ are bros. I recall some nice threads trying to find a certain Shugo Chara doujin.. good times.

>>3172850
That's because the secret to getting your tech support done on /g/ is to post anime pictures.

>>3172861
That'd be all well and good if I were willing to use porn games as an excuse, but it isn't, really.
I'm sure there are other reasons, man. I use the WINE card too often already. And I can't really say "gaming" since I have another computer, which is newer, better, and runs Windows 7.

>>3172873
xddd, I'm sure.
This might surprise you, but when quiet unsocial people have friends, they tend to be more of the same.

>>3172890
Jesus christ, just say you don't want to use Linux. Is it that hard, you doormat?

>>3172890

Honestly just stop making excuses and just tell him that you don't need nor want to change your OS and that you're perfectly happy with a functioning XP that suits all or your needs without any WINE faggotry and such.

>>3172850
Well, "/g/ - Technology" is pretty deceiving. It's more like "/g/ - Anime, Politics (especially Ron Paul), Loli, and a bit of Technology."

Go look at the front page of /g/, you'll see what I mean.

>>3172878
Yeah, you guys are pretty cool.

>>3172890
>the secret to getting your tech support done on /g/ is to post anime pictures.
He's right, it goes a long way.

>That'd be all well and good if I were willing to use porn games as an excuse, but it isn't, really.
It could be any application that you use, not just eroge and such. Other than that, I guess you could tell him you don't have the time to learn a new operating system.

>>3172917

Too sensible and straightforward for Jonesy. He needs to make excuses.

I thought we were bros, /jp/. Why are you guys ignoring me?

>>3173151
too busy playing UFO and Shuffle!

>>3172759

I did that and updated my sound card drivers, I guess we'll see if that works. It usually only happens intermittently and less often when I mute the volume when I'm not using my headphones. Thanks.

>>3173181
I'm glad I could help.

Anyone else want free tech support?

Why wont my Touhous run good in Windows 7 like they did in XP and even Vista?
I keep getting lower FPS

>>3173311
Why does Vista love eating away at my hard drive space?

>>3173311
Is there any way I can test if my cpu is bad without switching it out because I don't have an AM3 cpu on me and I'm trying to see if I should RMA that or the motherboard. I have an AM2 on me though.

>>3173311

Why does Readyboost seem to make my computer slower?

>>3173398
If you use slow flash media with ReadyBoost, it might not help at all. Make sure it's USB 2.0 and rated for highish data transfer speeds.

>>3173369
I can't tell you for sure. It might be that the additional overhead from Vista/7 is causing you to lose FPS. You would probably have better luck searching to see if anyone else has that specific problem.

>>3173381
I'm not sure what you mean. Are you saying that it takes up more disk space over time, or are you asking why Vista requires more hard disk space than previous versions of Windows?

>>3173395
No, not really. You need to have the CPU in a motherboard, so unless you have another CPU or motherboard, there's no way to single out one of the components. However, I have built several computers and I have not once seen a CPU that I knew for sure to be bad. However, I have seen several bad motherboards. I would think that the motherboard would be more likely.

>>3173398
I would think that the storage device you're using with ReadyBoost is too slow to be useful, but I believe Vista benchmarks the device to see if it is fast enough.

>>3172900
If you want to stop a computer guy from changing your shit, just start asking him to give you free support. Hell even when it was my job I wanted to abandon users.

>>3173487

Yeah it was, it even said on the packaging that it was designed for readyboost, but when I use it the computer just seems to access the hard drive constantly with readyboost and there's no perceivable performance gain. The hardware on my dad's computer is a real piece of shit and it has vista to boot, so I've been trying everything to try and get it to go a little faster. My old gateway with windows 98 was faster than this thing.

Hey, every time I try to rename or delete files, Windows Explorer lags for around 10 seconds. Also, sometimes when I try to delete files, it says I can't because the file is in use, but I can't figure out what the hell is using it. The only time I can delete it is after my computer reboots when I rage and start ending random processes.

>>3173369
Probably the first drivers for Windows7 aren't as optimized as what you've got for XP and even Vista. Give it some time and better stuff will be released.

>>3173507
This is the third PC that I've built but it is the first with ASUS instead of Gigabyte as a motherboard. The first two I built ran flawlessly.

>>3173511
Old PC? Use XP
New PC? Use Windows7

>>3173546

I get the same thing with the delete files thing, I just figure it's the virus scanner or something.

>>3173575
Use thermal paste/grease (such as Arctic Silver) between the CPU and heatsink, instead of bubble gum.

soon deh reh

it's pronounced Bitchy

>>3173507
I also have the HD space problem with Windows 7. Shit takes up gigs and gigs of space in the 'temp' folder and I have to manually clean it out every once in a while to get it back down. I don't think it windows restore data either - why doesn't it just flush the temp crap automatically? I really need the space since I'm running it on a small partition.

>>3173589
been applied bro

also have more Iku

Hey, well, you see, while editing the registry some time ago (years), to fix a problem with an old agfa scanner that didint workd with xp, i made it work. but i think i deleted some other info there, and i cant see the "scaners & cameras" icon on the control panel, pardon my lack of eloucuense, but im somewhat drunk.

>>3172861
Back from dinner.


derp I'm retarded
Where on the Diagnostic Tool does it show what kind of video card I have?

>>3173637
Oh, there's a message.
>The system is using the generic video driver. Please install the video driver provided by the hardware manufacturer.

>>3173633
i think i cannot set up any scanners now, did i broke it?

Sorry about taking so long to reply, guys. I'm having some problems with my internet connection.

>>3173511
Did you setup ReadyBoost on the computer, or just put the flash drive in? If your dad's computer really is as old as you say, you might be better off using Windows XP.

>>3173546
>Hey, every time I try to rename or delete files, Windows Explorer lags for around 10 seconds.
Your hard drive might be fragmented. If you need help defragmenting it, I can help you.

As for the other problem, there isn't just one cause. I really don't know.

>>3173575
It's probably just a coincidence. It's always a good idea to look at reviews for a product to see if other people had any problems with it.

>>3173655
>>3173633
Nvm nvm, i forgot i actually formatted this, its all good, damn alcohol..

>>3173619
That's odd, I would think that Windows would clear the temp folder automatically. I believe you can make a scheduled task to clean out the temp folder on a regular basis.

>>3173637
I'm not using Windows, so I can't tell you for sure, but I believe that information is on the Display tab.

>>3173716

>>3173654

My HD is still relatively new, but I'll try defragging it just in case. Thanks.

>>3173729
How would I go about installing a driver onto a computer with no internet access?

Hey, my father is having problems with one of his computers and he's at his wit's end. He's not computer-stupid, but somehow he has this virus on that one computer that constantly says "You have a virus on your computer. Windows has found an unregistered version of Windows Antivirus 2010 on your computer. Please buy the registered version."

Both he and I have looked online, and we found a guide using Malwarebytes to get rid of it, and I think that worked. It required booting in safemode to get rid of it, but when he reboots it after getting it out, it comes back.

Seems like there's a trojan or something that reinstalls it, but we can't find it. Fuck, I even went in there and deleted everything related to the damn virus manually; files and registry entries, all according to a list I found online that had the items that were related to the virus. Rebooted, and it's back. Fuck, he even went in and manually deleted everything after that, just to make sure I didn't miss anything, and it still came back.

It's not really my problem, and he's pretty much resigned to just decide whether to format the whole thing or get it checked by some tech guy, but he's my dad, and I want to help him out.

Any suggestions?

>>3173746
download it and put it on a flash drive

>>3173763
That'll work but I still have no idea which to download.

My computer has a Radeon X300 graphics card. Card is obviously old as shit. What's the best card under $70 for me to get? Also, what's the best dual core processor above 2.0?

What is the proper way to pronounce Japanese 'r' sounds?
I usually try touching the tip of my tongue to the roof of my mouth and attempt to make an 'r' sound and it sounds just ambiguous enough to be anything.

>>3173725
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+
Motherboard: Asus M3A78
Video card: ATI Radeon X800 XT
Memory: 2GB DDR2-800 (I don't remember the manufacturer)
Hard drive: Maxtor 250GB PATA (I can't remember the specific model)
Operating system: Debian GNU/Linux 5.0

Anything else you want to know?

>>3173729
Did you find out what video card you have?

>>3173740
You're welcome.

>>3173746
If you have manufacturer driver CDs, you can use those. If not, you can download the drivers from the Internet (using another computer) and copy them to the other computer with a flash drive, optical media, floppy disks, etc.

>>3173796
GPU-Z will show you http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1379/mirrors.php

>>3173808
>Did you find out what video card you have?

No.

>>3173760
Well, I don't know anything about that specific virus, but personally, I would just reformat. See, the problem is that once your computer is known to have been compromised, you can't ever be completely sure that you've gotten rid of everything. It all depends on which you consider to be worse. Having to reinstall your operating system, or having a potentially compromised system. Here's an interesting article that discusses the issue in more detail.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc512587.aspx

>>3173800
I haven't priced any components recently (as you can see by the specs I posted), so I can't really help you with that. You could ask /g/ (if you can stand the fanboys and trolling), or ask a real hardware forum.

>>3173829
Well, GPU-Z would have been my next suggestion, but >>3173819 beat me to it.

>>3173800
What motherboard do you have?
and the best card for that price is a Radeon 4670 but there might be a price cut in a month once the Radeon 5xx0 DX11 cards come around

>>3173890
Haha oh wow
>Could not start driver: This service cannot be started in safe mode.

I pronounce it tsun-dere because english is not my native language.

>>3173941
Do you have a pre-built computer, or did you build it yourself? Also, do you know the manufacturer of your card?

>>3173969
My dad bought the computer from Circuit City when I was a loli.
I have no idea who the manufacturer is.

>>3173988
>I have no idea who the manufacturer is.
That's alright. Can you tell me the model of your computer?

>>3174000
Umm... How do I figure that out?

>>3174037
It might be on the back of the computer (where all of the wires connect). If you have trouble finding it, there's another way we can find out what video card you have.

>>3174075
Oh! It says Intel on a sticker on the front of the computer.

Well since you're offering.

So when i boot windows7 it says bootmanager missing so i try to repair it with my disc like google says. this is all fine and shit but the fixer says it can't even find a windows installation. What now?

Everytime I restart I need my disc (running bootmanager off it). Any fixes other than reinstalling?

>>3174122
Oh lord...
I believe that is the sticker for the Intel CPU.

>>3174122
That's the manufacturer of the processor, not the computer. Let's try finding out what video card you have the other way that I mentioned.

I understand this is probably a bit confusing for you, but since the other methods we tried didn't work, this would be the best way to do it.

Right-click My Computer, then click Properties in the menu that comes up. A window that says System Properties will come up. In this window, click on the tab that says Hardware. Once you're on this tab, click the button that says Device Manager.

Let me know once you've gotten that far. If any of that is confusing, just let me know.

>>3174182
I need my hand held through this. I'm interbutt retarded. Don't make fun of me.

>>3174191
NVIDIA Quadro NVS with AGP8X

>>3174179
So what you're saying is that the boot manager on the hard drive doesn't work, and you have to use your Windows 7 installation DVD to boot the computer, but Windows works fine after that, correct?

>>3174218
Where does it say that?

>>3174230
Display adapters

Don't they cover how to pronounce tsundere in one of moetans videos?

>>3174179
I have Win7 and XP as well, and I just use "EasyBCD" it's easy to learn (not that there are much to learn anyways)

btw OP, kudos to this nice techsupport. Much better than those worthless phone techies.

Here you go, OP.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAtaLTDrHXM

>>3174254
Alright, I need you to do a few more things.

Right-click on "NVIDIA Quadro NVS with AGP8X", then click Properties on the menu that appears. A window should open with the title "NVIDIA Quadro NVS with AGP8X Properties". In that window, click the tab that says Details. On that tab, there should be a drop-down box. You should be able to select "Hardware Ids" with that drop-down box.

The textarea should show a few lines that look like this:
PCI/VEN_15AD&DEV_0405&SUBSYS_040515AD&REV_00

I need you to tell me what the first line that looks like that says.

>>3174343

>>3174382
the \ is a backslash

>>3174331
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeJAHff9UlA

>>3174382
Alright, Windows is identifying the card correctly, but let's try making sure the drivers are up to date. Apparently NVIDIA has a utility to automatically detect what drivers you need, I probably should have checked to see if they did instead of having you go through all that. Sorry. But anyway, see if this utility will work for you.

>>3174392
You're right, it was supposed to be a backslash.

>>3174507
How do I get it to scan the other computer?

>>3174553
What is taking forever? Detecting your video card, or downloading the driver?

>>3174559

>>3174561
You have internet access on the other computer, right? If you do, just open that link on the other computer.

>>3174592
I'm sorry, I thought you did. I just realized that you said earlier that you didn't.

This information >>3174382 is from the computer that needs drivers, and not the one that has internet access, right?

>>3174648
It is from the broken computer, not the one I'm typing on.

If you're done would you mind uploading your whole folder somewhere?

I have a question. After installing and playing Little Busters! for a bit, there is a new Hard Drive in my list called Compaq A, no such drive exists, and it shares the same space as my C drive. Inside the A drive, is just the same Little Busters! files as in the install folder.

If it's not too late, I have this problem with EoSD, it wont show character sprites or power up Items. They do show when I bomb or there is a spell card going on.

This happened after I reformatted my computer. What should I do?

>>3174870
The only explanation that I can think of is that the A: drive was created to emulate a floppy drive for some code that uses a floppy drive which it expects to be at A:. I can't think of any other reason why a program would do that.

Tech support you there? I just woke up and noticed this thread.

You see, last wednesday/thursday I was playing PSO with /v/ when suddenly my comp shut down. As I was about to turn it on again i noticed some strange noises and the second after that smoke started to come out of the cpu.

Freaked out afraid to burn down the house so i unplugged everything and waited to se what to do next. Only smoke came out, didn't notice any fire. After opening the case i noticed this smell like burnt popcorn coming out of it.

So Tech support, what can i do? what can be saved and what do i have to buy? I'm currently on my sis' comp, but it's not the same. I tried to see if my HD was fine by plugging it to her comp, but noticed it has a different cable setup so i gave up, any advice on that?

tsun de re

>>3174933
The first thing I would check is if you have the latest drivers for your video card.

>>3174947
Everything other than the CPU and maybe the motherboard should be fine. It sounds like something stopped the fan on the CPU's heatsink and caused it to overheat. I actually had the same thing happen to me, except the CPU still worked, even though the temperature sensors said it went over 100 degrees Celsius. I still don't know how that CPU didn't burn up.

As for the hard drive, most likely your hard drive is SATA and the drives in your sister's computer are PATA. I'm guessing that your hard drive has a small (probably red) connector a bit wider than one centimeter and a power connector that goes into the hard drive next to it, and your sister's drives have a cable that's flat and about 2 inches wide, with a power connector that has 4 wires, correct?

>>3175013
correct, except is the other way around.

This is the best thread on /jp/ right now.
Guy from /g/ you are so helpful and nice. Why can't there be more people like you around?
Polite sage since I am not really adding anything to this thread.

>>3175020
That actually works out better for you, because you should be able to connect your drive to her computer. Her computer should have the 4-pin power connectors that your computer uses.

For your hard drive, the ribbon cable should run from the hard drive to a header on the motherboard. Look in your sister's computer, and see if there is a similar header on the motherboard.

my monitor keeps randomly flickering then shutting off, then i have to press the button twice to turn it back on, is there anything i can do or do i just need a new one?

>>3174703

>>3175047
I see the light now, thank you so much Tech support, trying this first thing in the morning.

Just one last question though, her dvd drive uses the same cable my HD uses, does this affect your suggested method?

Appears I've gotten a virus on my USB, whenever I try to autorun it it tries to open an .exe file, which no longer exists due to my awesome virus bustin' skills. I've got to manually open it, and when I rightclick it, it has 2 "Autorun" options, both of which lead to hurr viruses.
Also, this only seems to happen on my XP laptop, it runs fine on Vista. Is this good or bad?

Seconding Beatrice. Keep being awesome bro.

>>3175057
>1998

>>3175042
Thank you. I'm happy to help you guys out.

>>3175055
Could you describe what exactly the flickering looks like?

>>3175064
Well, if her computer has an SATA hard drive, then it likely only has one PATA channel. You might have to put the hard drive on the same channel as the DVD drive. Do you have a ribbon cable with three connectors, and do you know how to set the jumpers properly?

>>3175077
Well, I believe Windows Vista asks you if you want to run the autorun script, whereas Windows XP does not. That might be what's causing the difference. There should be a file on the flash drive called "autorun.inf". It might be hidden, so you might have to enable showing hidden files. If you delete it, you shouldn't have any more problems.

I want to set up a software RAID1 for my external drive(s), I'm on Windows XP though which doesn't allow mirroring for some reason without doing some cheap hacks, I was wondering if it's the smartest idea to rely on something like that? I'm on a laptop so if I bought a raid controller I'd have to buy an external one which are expensive as fuck.

like the monitor fades out and goes black, sometimes it doesn't even flicker and it just goes off, and if like something bumps into it it'll go off

Tried setting my HD as a slave that day but I failed. going to try plugging directly since i just want to back up my stuff anyways.

Once again, thanks a ton Tech support. About your question, there's a chapter in Lucky star that has the correct pronounciation of Tsundere, but i can't recall wich one. Might want to try Bakemonogatari, Oshino calls Senjougahara Tsundere-chan in chapter 2 and 4(?5?) and snail girl calls her that in chapter 6.

tsɯndere

Do pronounciations of kana change over time or something?

>>3175210
>There are no kana for ye, yi, or wu, as these syllables do not occur in Japanese, though ye is believed to have existed in pre-Classical Japanese (prior to the advent of kana), and is generally represented for purposes of reconstruction by the kanji 江. In later periods, the syllable we (katakana ヱ, hiragana ゑ) came to be realized as [jɛ], as demonstrated by 1600s-era European sources, but later merged with the vowel e. It was eliminated from official orthography in 1946. In modern orthography, ye may be written いぇ, イェ.

Well, RAID isn't really meant as a backup solution, it's meant to provide reliability for servers or other applications where uptime is important. If you have two drives, you would probably be better off just storing your stuff on one and backing it up onto the other.

>>3175166
It sounds like your monitor is failing. You should probably get a new one.

That should work fine.

Does anyone else need help? If not, I'm going to bed. It's 4AM here. I'll be back later today to help anyone else who needs it.
