DivX versions posted: Superstar and Come On

I revised both of these vids a few years ago, so I haven't made any additional changes - just finally got around to exporting high-quality versions. Both are available at the paper cup vids page, which unfortunately is having some aesthetic difficulties (note to self: don't fiddle with CSS code while trying to pay attention to renenet's disquisitions on ( Read more... )

You might want to check for the Smitfraud Trojan, which has been going around lately and imitates the Blue Screen of Death and will change you settings on you.

Good thought, and I will check, but I suspect this one's legit; the STOP codes suggest that it might be a RAM module problem, which would fit with some other minor recent hinkiness.

I'm now hoping it really is the RAM, because that would be a MUCH easier problem to solve.

Yay squared! *runs to download*

Faith! Buffy! Knives! Whee!

Microsoft has a RAM checker available for download:

Or you can try DocMem (free registration required):

Knowing your research habits, you've probably already found this, but just in case....MS's instructions on doing a Repair Install of XP.

As always, call if you need to bounce ideas off someone or just want to vent to a sympathetic ear.

Thank you! I had in fact found a RAM checker, but not the MS one. And I did find the repair install instructions, but it is ALWAYS nice to have my research validated by The Minister of Hardware.

And thank you for the offer of live tech support; I may take you up on that tomorrow. Plus, bonus stories of today's meeting with evil parent! Fun! Or, at least, amusing after the fact. Except where infuriating. Actually, you might blow a gasket. It was quite a meeting.

YAY! Now I can play them with VLC :) I really hope you're able to fix the computer but I'm very thankful that you backed everything up. Smart.

heresluck February 10 2007, 05:18:55 UTC

Yes! VLC yay! *g*

I am just hoping I don't have to USE the backups -- I need this time for vidding!

Yay for Buffy and Faith in pretty big versions! Thank you for taking the time to spiffy-up your older vids. :)

I don't suppose you have any plans to do this someday for Writing Notes? That was one of the first vids I fell in love with, and a big shiny version would be cooler than cool.

As a matter of fact, I spent several hours this weekend converting the rest of my older vids to DivX, and should have them posted within the next few days. I haven't remastered them at all, so they're not particularly shiny -- same old pixellated not-even-remotely-DVD-quality source -- but they are bigger: I bumped the size up on some of them (including Writing Notes). I'll post when they're up. Thanks for asking!
