thanking you for your assistance

i'm not Chris but i know what to do.

you need to click on User CP.

Then click on Edit Options on the left hand side of the page.

Scroll down to the bottom and just above the save changes button is the bit to change it. select "The Bat" and then click save changes.

I am such an idiot!!!
I made two short videosequenzes with my digicam at the Bonn show and held the camera vertical instead of horizontal

Does anyone know a video-editing-software with that I can rotate the video?

Or do I have to put my monitor on it's side to watch it properly

Keab42 · 08 Jun 2005, 23:46

animation shop can but i think you might loose the audio. i assume you have tried windows movie maker.

Chris a very important question how do I transfer my Meaty t.v. etc., recorded video's to DVD, I have a DVD recorder but haven't a clue which cables etc I need, or how to connect

Just remember I am 55 years young, so if you could possibly speak very slowly I would be very grateful

Chris · 17 Nov 2005, 12:16

Hi Chris or whoever answers this query.......

Re above posts, if I buy a DVD recorder/video recorder combined, can I use a set up like this to transfer video to DVD?

Chris · 18 Nov 2005, 12:42

I believe you can yes.

Debs would be a good person to ask nicely about his. I think she has one of these.

I'm sure i read the answer elsewhere but can't find it now so sorry for the repeat.
Why can't i see the pictures contained in little white boxes with a red cross?

shadow1000001 · 19 Dec 2005, 04:31

I turned on my computer this morning and almost all my stuff was gone. Even my wallpaper disappeared. It wouldn't let me do anything and every time I hit the start key, it froze solid.
I wiped out everything and reformatted. Now it won't download the ie6 service pack. Everytime I try it tells me that not all componets were downloaded and to try running set up again.
I'm running windows ME. Any suggestions?? A Sledgehammer perhaps

ME is crap, crapper than a crap thing on a crap day. I had it for 4 years, pain in the ass it is. My advice is to sling it or upgrade to XP or something. Don't try and fix it, save yourself an headache or two and just bin it.

Threads merged.

And regarding your problem:
Upgrade to XP and stop using Internet Explorer, this crap piece of software is the root of all evil.
Use Firefox instead. It's better, faster and more secure than IE.

shadow1000001 · 20 Dec 2005, 07:38

Thanks guys! After Christmas I will take your advice. I got it working this time but this will definately be the last time

Keab42 · 20 Dec 2005, 20:44

to be fair if you can last 6 months more on ME you can then upgrade to the nice shiny bugridden mess that will be windows Vista.

NO!!!!

Don't do it!!

Vista is absolutely atrocious. Much as it pains me to say it but if Vista is the way ahead then look out unix here i come!!!

Keab42 · 20 Dec 2005, 21:03

well xp service pack 3 will make xp up to be almost vista

shadow1000001 · 01 Jan 2006, 00:08

Ok, why when I am posting a reply to a message I can use the smilies

but when I am posting in my blog I can't. I click them and nothing happens!
Help!

Chris · 01 Jan 2006, 10:27

Off the top of my head it sounds like you need to refresh the smilies.

Go to the blog reply box as yu normally would and instead of typing your post, press CTRL & F5 simultaneously.

That should force your PC to reload the code from scratch and should make it work.

Let me know if it doesn't work!

shadow1000001 · 01 Jan 2006, 23:42

Thank you Chris, it worked
