A lot of the games use Shockwave - try reinstalling it from here Shockwave Site

You need the shockwave player adn Flash downloads!!

Give me the site or the link to the page the picture is on and I will sort it out.

Right click and 'save image as' or 'save target as' and then upload it using ImageShack.
You can link to there then.
Hope it helped.

Caz · 18 Aug 2004, 11:57

Aargh

Chris, why do I keep getting a message saying 'Cannot run Installer' when I try to download the software for Shockwave?? *Knew I should have stayed with 98 instead of going with xP

*

Chris · 18 Aug 2004, 12:01

Not sure Caz.

Try right-clicking on this and choose "Save target as....."

The when it has saved, try running it.

It worked fine on my XP.

Caz · 18 Aug 2004, 12:21

Cheers Chris, will give it a try ... one delightful xP has finished it's downloads grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Caz · 19 Aug 2004, 03:13

Thanks for the help Chris ........ finally got it sorted and can now get back to being an arcade addict

Ok...need your help.
I've got a little picture on my computer that I would love to use as an avatar. I have no idea how to put it onto my profile because I can't remember the website I nicked it from. I'm also not sure how big it is. It was accepted as an avatar on another forum but the profile section on this one doesnt have a browse option so all my attempts have been fruitless and i have been left swearing at my pictures section.

Any help at all would be appreciated!!!!

Image Shack is your friend. Simply up-load it here.
Use an image program to cut it down to below 100x100 pixels first though.

Biter · 15 Sep 2004, 00:21

Erm...still very stuck. Image shack isnt helping because it doesnt take 'bmp' files. It is really starting to bug me so I'm gonna give up because I have a bast*rd of a head cold and I am very short tempered at the mo.

I quit!

Rob The Badger · 15 Sep 2004, 17:09

Save the file as a .jpg file.

Caz · 27 Sep 2004, 11:44

Help ....... anyone!!!

I have just got broadband on main pc, it is working fine at last

but for some reason it won't work on laptop. Laptop is running W98, but NOT W98SE. Someone said that this could be the reason i can't get my broadband to work on said laptop

Any ideas how i can get it up and running, so i can use laptop upstairs, when i'm being a lazy mare

**SueW** · 04 Oct 2004, 08:11

I was doing a search last night and I must have entered a "dodgy" website (I was only searching golf balls - honest!) as I now keep getting new website pages opening up, all for Spyware. I've performed a full virus scan and my computer is clear so it is just some sort of spyware campaign.

I also have an Explorer error message when I first log on that says "Explorer has caused an error in UJBUI.DLL. Explorer will now close." That box stays on the top of my desktop the whole time but it seems to work okay if I just ignore it. I searched my C drive and can't find a UJBUI.DLL file and Microsoft.com don't have any info about it.

Control, Alt and Delete has stopped working too now.

Thanks...

SueW

Chris · 04 Oct 2004, 14:28

The DLL file you found is (i believe) a dodgy file.

What software are you using for Spyware claning, firewall etc.

Chris

Chris · 04 Oct 2004, 20:12

Sue, Check your PMs!!!

**SueW** · 15 Dec 2004, 23:37

I've been sent a photo in a pdf (Acrobat Reader) file format. Is there any way that I can convert it to a jpeg so I can use it on my website?

Sue

RoknRollJesus · 16 Dec 2004, 01:12

Sue...I've been able to work out PDFs by using PhotoShop. Open PhotoShop and IMPORT the PDF and you should be able to sort the image and SAVE AS a jpeg file from there. Hope that helps!

Just thought I'd let you know, our computer downloaded a weird program which placed many pornagrphic pictures on our computer, and prevented us from accessing the internet!!! we have had to take the computer back to basics, but at least we're clean

Neither one of us has opened anything suspicious, so haven't a clue where this has come from..

For warned is for armed, look out there is a Christmas nasty about

Tim · 18 Dec 2004, 19:28

Okay.. funny, never noticed this one.. BTW, where is Aunty Sins page/topic???? Need that one also ahhaha.

Question:

My computer told me i got a virus. After a check with 2 different virusscans it told me there were no virusses on the computer. So.. can i trust those scans??

And another question... Any clue how i can put VHS recordings on my PC and burn them as a VCD or other format?? Got only a TV out card.

The Butcher

By the way... looking for people who can transfer cassette and VHS to CD and DVD (prefer Dutch people hahha)

**SueW** · 14 Jan 2005, 02:30

Does anybody on this list know of a free ftp that I can download which will upload files in sub-directories too (keeping the directory structure)?

I want to move a large number of files to a server (I'm still on dial-up!) and I don't have the time to upload them one sub-directory at a time!

Many thanks
