I am looking at a GeForce 210 assembled by Asus (and I like Asus video cards). The OS is Vista (Home Premium) and we have a bog standard AMD Sempron 145 + 4GB DDR2 800MHz et cetera....

The latest updates from Microsoft and NVIDIA themselves fail when you try to play a video. The OS loads just fine, and works OK.............video freezes to a blank screen.

The solution is to reload the drivers/software from the CD or the manufacturer's website.

Sorry for the 101 fault finding post, but this sort of problem with NVIDIA is pretty much unheard of in my experience. :) ]]> Hardware nihil http://www.antionline.com/showthread.php?t=279968 http://www.antionline.com/showthread.php?t=279961&goto=newpost Wed, 09 May 2012 02:24:11 GMT Is your PC a dead man walking?.................. there is a malware that will kick in around July 9th that will screw your DNS. ...

If you check the lower part of the article there is a tool to check if your system is working properly....perhaps ;)

Got a quick question that probably has a longer answer. We are looking to set up some kind of audit process to see who is accessing what file shares on our Windows servers. We have about 150 users.

If we set this using Group Policy, how big of log files (roughly) will that generate? And is there a better way than Group Policy?

Thanks. ]]> Microsoft Security Discussions brokencrow http://www.antionline.com/showthread.php?t=279959 http://www.antionline.com/showthread.php?t=279956&goto=newpost Tue, 01 May 2012 07:08:31 GMT as a person that doesn't know what to believe,what are your thoughts on various religions pushing religion down peoples throats? ,ive had a personal experiences with this in the past i was down on my luck and homeless looking for something to give me a measure of hope ,i had one of those fundamentalist baptists come up to me , got me to go to church, they kept pushing me to be something i couldn't be ,when i was honest about struggling they didn't take me aside and listen and give advice they put me front and center so the pastor could give me a fire and brimstone sermon ,with that said ,my philophy always has been let god change you don't push people into something they arnt ready for or don't want,i was thinking about the crusades and other things done in gods name having read the bible all the terrible things done in his name the new testament speaks out against, but enough of that i wanted to give yall some background so yall would understand part of the reason i asked this and to give my opinion to get this conversation started:) ]]> Cosmos romanticcowboy http://www.antionline.com/showthread.php?t=279956 http://www.antionline.com/showthread.php?t=279955&goto=newpost Tue, 01 May 2012 05:40:03 GMT i put this here as its humorous idea . im not good at photo editing but i would love to see a desktop background showing the Linux penguin shooting... i put this here as its humorous idea . im not good at photo editing but i would love to see a desktop background showing the Linux penguin shooting bill gates in the head with plenty of blood , the things that come from my twisted brain lol ,if someone could make that and post it here it would be great id love to have it as my desktop to make people really scratch there heads when they read over my shoulder that would teach them a lesson muahahahaha:xbones: ]]> Tech Humor romanticcowboy http://www.antionline.com/showthread.php?t=279955 http://www.antionline.com/showthread.php?t=279954&goto=newpost Sun, 29 Apr 2012 11:55:01 GMT It is now out of Beta and officially called *Windows Defender Offline. * Sometimes, malicious and other potentially unwanted software, including... It is now out of Beta and officially called Windows Defender Offline.


Sometimes, malicious and other potentially unwanted software, including rootkits, try to install themselves on your PC. This can happen when you connect to the Internet or install some programs from a CD, DVD, or other media. Once on your PC, this software might run immediately, or it might run at unexpected times. Windows Defender Offline can help remove such hard to find malicious and potentially unwanted programs using definitions that recognize threats. Definitions are files that provide an encyclopedia of potential software threats. Because new threats appear daily, it's important to always have the most up-to-date definitions installed in Windows Defender Offline. Armed with definition files, Windows Defender Offline can detect malicious and potentially unwanted software, and then notify you of the risks.

I've started to face an unusual problem lately. I have a 500Gig Samsung SATA HDD. I've partitioned it into 4 partitions -

c: - 50Gb - OS
d: - 149Gb - misc data,setup's
e: - 100gb - documents
f: - 165gb - music,video,movies and other media

I'm currently running windows 7. I have a core2duo pc with 2gig ram.

Now, whenever i access f: manually, the computer gets hanged. Say, whenever i open f:, the pc starts scanning the drive for contents, and then gets hanged. Initially, the window gets hanged, but other open aplications work, and after say 30 seconds(the time is an assumption), everything hangs. After that, the only option left is reboot. Also, when i reboot after that, cmos does not detect the HDD. I unplug the SATA cable, and then replug it, and only then the HDD becomes detectable.

If i try to play the media using the windows media player, the system doesn't get hang. But, sooner or later one needs to access the drive to copy new files, or delete some.

I tried disk defragmenting, but nothig helped.

This problem is with f: only. I face this problem in windows only. I tried with Ubuntu live cd, and the drive works well. Googling didn't help. Am still unable to get what is this problem basically - hardware or software.

So guys, help me out. Need your suggestions asap. ]]> Hardware sumitprateek http://www.antionline.com/showthread.php?t=279953 http://www.antionline.com/showthread.php?t=279950&goto=newpost Mon, 23 Apr 2012 15:35:25 GMT Hey everyone, its been a while, as I've been pretty busy with school. I've been receiving emails from numerous websites stating that I've requested account information. Some of these websites have sent an IP address along with the request to ensure that it is me. Well, its not. I'm not sure what else they've done so far, but I'm going to request log on IP address logs if I can to the accounts to ensure that access to my accounts has not been made. I would have a little bit of fun with this IP address, but I am currently in finals week. Not sure how much can be done, but regardless I'm posting it just because I can. So have at it.

I am looking to read about best practices followed in designing a security model for distributed systems. By distributed systems I mean a cluster which consists of web servers, app servers, databases and secure databases.

Can somebody please point me to any links websites or reading materials?
