Vista's not a bad operating system. I actually like it better than XP, and it does run better than XP on my systems... now... *turns on desktop computer*


Click the start button :arrow: right click computer :arrow: click properties :arrow: on the left, under tasks, click advanced system settings :arrow: User Account Control will ask you to continue, click continue :arrow: Under start up and recovery click settings :arrow: under system failure uncheck automatically restart then click okay, and okay again. :arrow: Reboot your computer so this setting is saved.

So next time, when you get a Blue Screen of Death, it will NOT automatically reboot, this will allow you to write down the error code or take a picture with a digital camera (with flash off) to get the error codes. Once then, you must manually reboot your computer by holding the power button for a few seconds and turning it back on or the reboot button. (Some PCs have reboot buttons on the tower, some do not.)

Once you be able to get the error codes and messages, post it here or PM me and I will help you to try to solve your issue.
Thank you!

But before I try this, I want to be sure of one thing: whenever I get a BSoD, it says that my computer was shut down to prevent damage to it. So would it be safe for me to turn off the automatic reboot?

One question: Is OpenOffice...reliable?

Something tells me I can't trust it when they say such things as:
that anyone can report bugs
"no secrets" approach
no worry about ending up in court because you misread some small print in a licence agreement.

Yes, it is safe. As I said, it will just keep the computer from rebooting automatically is all. :wink: I have it set like this on this desktop. I used to get Blue Screens of Death when I was busy overclocking it. But since my overclock is successful, I haven't gotten any more, but I still keep it from rebooting automatically if it was to ever get one.

OpenOffice is indeed reliable. I use it and like it well, and I have friends who use it and would recommend it as well. :wink:

Okay...automatic reboot is off. Now I must wait for a BSoD.

*waits*

Ah, this is boring.

There's a way of mathematically proving that zero times infinity is equal to any positive number. I'll try and remember it...

I remember.

If 1 ÷ X = Y, then the smaller X is, the larger Y is. If X is a large number, Y is a small number, and vice versa. As X heads towards 0, Y heads towards ∞, though neither of them will ever reach these numbers. But if they did, then

1 ÷ 0 = ∞

would be shown to be true. And this means that infinity by zero is a positive number. In this example, it's one. Just like

6 ÷ 2 = 3, in which case you get six if you multiply three and two.

The problem is, it's an impossible calculation. I see it theoretically works, but it just can't be done :P

But if it could be done, that's the result we'd get :dango:

Yes but it can't be calculated, which means no result could ever be obtained at all.

No, we will discuss... What do you think is the best way to convert FLV files, for example, youtube vids? (already downloaded, now want to convert it)

I'm currently using Mediacoder, lets hope that works.
