I have a Swan security camera program running under a password protected user in Windows XP. Someone else uses the computer during the day and because of our timeclock is running on the same computer sometimes they have to restart the computer. When they restart it leaves us without the camera program running under the Admin user. I can't move the cameras to a different computer, so I am hoping I could just write a .bat file or something that at startup executes the camera program under the Admin user. Thanks.
How do I start a program under another password protected user when a computer is restarted?
You can do this with scheduled tasks. Just need the admins password to set it up.

How do you protect your computer desk?
I'm not the only one drinking fluids while on this computer. Do you use a desk/table cloth? What kind of material? I don't want to have it hanging on my legs or blocking drawers. Thanks for suggestions!
How do you protect your computer desk?
You can get one of those waterproof tableclothes and cut it to size.
Reply:Use coasters.
Reply:I solved that problem.. I have a glass top so I do not have to worry about the problems of mess on a wood desk, etc etc
Reply:Don't have drinks near your computer or use a coaster.

How do I fix my computer screen so that I can get rid of the strange blue lines that appear over dark colors?
Whenever my computer has to display dark colors, like a black background, it appears with blue, vibrating, horizontal stips through it. The stripes are thin, and move slightly, making everything really annoying to try to read or look at.
This just started happening about a week ago, when I turned on my pc. And I have restarted it, auto-adjusted it, messed with the color settings, etc, with nothing doing. Help!
How do I fix my computer screen so that I can get rid of the strange blue lines that appear over dark colors?
if its a laptop u need to sotter the line that go from the parts to the screen...if its a tower get a new monitor.
Reply:On the monitor turn down the brightness and adjust to a higher contrast, as you turn down the brightness go slow and turn it until the lines have just disappeared, then adjust the contrast, the brightness uses a lot more power to the monitor causing the lines, you should be ok after that, hope this helps and good luck.
Reply:Press, Left Shift Key+Left Alt Key+Print Screen.
The result:
Then the screen appears to the high level contrast. In this screen helps for the person of low level site problems.
After, the windows will give Special color scheme.
Suppose, you don't need, press the same key.

How do you completly erase everything from your computer and start over new?
My friend just gave me her computer, Windows XP Home Edition, and it has at least a million files on it. I would like to just start over completly new.
I have high speed DSL, but the computer still runs very slowly. Is there like a fast/safe way to just delete everything with out doing it one by one? Thank you!
How do you completly erase everything from your computer and start over new?
It's tough, but if you have your windows CD, you can do it.
-Insert the disk.
-Restart the computer
-Hit any key when prompted.
-A blue screen will come up. Let it load for a minute.
-Select Install Fresh Copy of Windows XP.
-Delete the Partitioned space.(Format)
-Create a Partitioned Space.
-Install on the New Partitioned Space.
-Let it load, enter information.
BAM!
Average time is between 45min-1hour.
After that, you will have to download everything you want on the computer.
-Enjoy!
Reply:Yes you can by a way called formating the hard drive but this is not something to be done unless you know what you are doing. I have done it many times on several different computers and all had different things that needed to be done.
1) It may not be the large file clutter that is slowing down the computer but possibly the CPU or a low amount of RAM.
2) When you perform a system wipe many times you erase system drivers such as the chipset driver, to the LAN driver, or sound driver. These must all be downloaded and saved to a disk and installed once windows is up and running.
3) You will lose all programs installed on the computer such as Microsoft office or any anti virus software and you may not have access to the disks that are required to reinstall them. You will also lose any important files, pictures, etc... so make sure to save these to a disk or flash drive before performing the wipe.
4) You need the Windows XP disk and the system key. If you dont have these the format can not be performed. If you install windows but do not have the system key it will continue to ask for it for 30 days and after the 30 days all access will be cut of until it is entered.
So all in all make sure you have somebody do it that is qualified if you decide to do it at all.
Reply:You can just use the XP home install diskette if the computer has a partition with the xp install on it on the boot you will see the press some button to boot into the install menu. But if its running slow I would check on the amount of memory/ram it has aswell. If it only has 256-512mb I would look into getting atleast 768mb-1gb of memory total for XP home just to help speed things up. Thanks
Reply:Yes xx, do a complete re-install. Put the disks that should have come with the pc into the tray and do the complete thing. You'll have a brand new machine.

How can i convert a DVC to my computer without the camera?
if you have a DVC player. I have 2. one is a Sony walkman that plays miniDV and the other is a Sony grey market DVC/SVHS combo, both have DV output. They are hard to come by outside of the industrial market, you might try ebay, but honestly, miniDV is so inexpensive now, just get another camera.

How can I get my computer to recognize my flash drive?
I just recieved a new laptop and i wanted to transfer my iPod to the laptop. I was planning on saving my songs to the flash drive then plugging the device into the laptop. When I inserted the flash drive into the computer that already held my songs, the computer didn't recognize it! Like it wasn't ever plugged in. How can I get my computer to notice the flash drive?
(I also tried plugging the flash into another computer and that one regognized it. They both have Windows XP)
How can I get my computer to recognize my flash drive?
Some flash drives will only work with USB 2 and your old computer may have USB 1. See if there is a driver available on the manufacturer's web site.
Reply:The new laptop needs the flash drive Driver installed. I had the same problem with an Imation flash drive. Went to the Imation website and downloaded the driver and it worked fine.

How do I transport the songs on iTunes from one computer to the other?
Hi. I wanted to burn a CD from my iTunes program but my computer doesn't have a burner, my brother's does. So I was wondering, how can I take my songs to my brother's computer? Something that you probably ought to know, is that my ipod doesn't respond when I plug it in to my brother's computer, that's another problem.
How do I transport the songs on iTunes from one computer to the other?
Is there any way to network his computer to yours? If so, you can install the iTunes program on his computer, then copy the original "m4p" files you bought with the iTunes program to his computer through the network connection. You'll have to sign into your iTunes account and "authorize" his computer to play your iTunes files first (you're allowed to authorize up to 5 computers per account).
