    IE8 beta vertical-align headache

    I've just started checking over my website in Internet Explorer 8 beta, thinking I wouldn't see any problems. I do, unfortunately. Every other browser in existence, from Firefox to Safari to IE5.5, displays my website the way I want it to. IE8 doesn't. I've attached a graphic that shows this...

    Remove instance of a class from memory

    If there are no references to the object, then the object will be automatically removed from memory the next time that garbage collection is run. If you'd like to run garbage collection sooner, you can use System.gc(), but this isn't generally advisable- usually it's best to let java decide when...

    BIOS recognizes my SATA drive, XP install does not

    cdogg, thanks for the reply. that's what I tried for XP32 (downloading the drivers from WD's website and installing them via F6 during setup), and it didn't work. WD doesn't have corresponding 64bit drivers, as it says that the drivers are already on the WinXP64 CD. liam morley...

    BIOS recognizes my SATA drive, XP install does not

    When I boot up my computer, I see my hard drive's serial ID# flash on the screen. However, when I try to install Windows XP, XP tells me that there are no hard drives available. I've tried to install both XP32bit and XP64- XP64 isn't supposed to require extra drivers (they're supposed to be on...

    Is my PSU underpowered?

    I know this doesn't answer your question, but the next time you're not sure if you have enough power in your system, here's a good resource: http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculator.jsp I'm just throwing that out there because before I found this, I was constantly just guessing, and...

    computer will POST, but freezes on Windows install

    I think it might be a memory issue; I bought a new 550W power supply (a really nice one from Seasonic, pretty solid). I've run memtest, and it reboots the moment that memtest starts. That is, unless I turn ECC off, it doesn't even get all the way through the tests before failing, but I know...

    computer will POST, but freezes on Windows install

    if i remember correctly, winxp64 only supports AMD; there is a separate "itanium" edition that supports the intel. At least, there's a directory named "AMD" right on the CD, and I was able to run XP 64 beta on my machine last year before changing the processor, so I know that AMD is supported...

    computer will POST, but freezes on Windows install

    Lemon13, thanks for replying- I'm not terribly familiar with HAL, but when the system boots, it does report that there are 2 cpus when doing a system test. is that referring to the same thing? liam morley http://www.carpeliam.com

    Destructor or finally? Which is best in Java?

    have you thought about using junit to do unit testing? it's the most popular testing tool in the java community. if you decide not to use junit (though if you haven't invested too much time so far i would strongly recommend it), you've got a few options. First off, as far as destructors are...

    computer will POST, but freezes on Windows install

    After installing some new hardware, I went to install an OS, and it fails upon starting up. the weird thing is, it actually posts and i get partway through the initial loading of the setup before it freezes. Here's my system: Motherboard: MSI K8T Master2-FAR (supports 2 cpus, but not dual-core...

    how to install 10g in harmony with Oracle App Server?

    dbnetsi, thanks for the response. I installed Oracle App Server Enterprise Edition- I used the 'basic' setup (not advanced setup), so if the only way to install the infrastructure server is to go through advanced (I was not aware of the infrastructure server?), then I don't have it. Liam...

    how to install 10g in harmony with Oracle App Server?

    Hey all. I've installed Oracle App Server 10.1.3 Enterprise Edition. It has sqlplus and everything, but no database that I'm aware of. I'd like to install an Oracle database, but I'm not sure if I should just install Oracle DB on top, and how to get it to talk with the app server so that they're...

    how to enable Search to search within particular types of files?

    I know that Windows Search doesn't search for text within files of unknown types. I'd like to be able to search for text within .java files, or .properties files, etc, because these are ascii files. All I've been able to find out so far is how to enable windows to search in all files. I imagine...

    [WORD] Grammar: change all?

    I've changed the grammar checker settings, and I'm working with a 60-page paper. I'd like to make certain global changes, for example expanding all contractions and making all sentences have 1 space between them instead of 2 (or in some cases more). If I do this through the spell/grammar...

    [WORD] first figure starts at #2 intead of #1

    thanks very much, updating the fields resets them properly. it turns out that this seems to happen whenever you have a picture or anything that has text wrapping set to 'square' or any of the other wrap settings. rather frustrating. unfortunately updating one picture doesn't update them all-...

    [WORD] first figure starts at #2 intead of #1

    I've inserted a picture into a word document and assigned a caption to it. It's the first picture in the document. The number formatting for the caption is "1, 2, 3, ..." and the label is "Figure". The caption text in the Caption dialog box says "Figure 1", but when I after I press "OK" to...

    mozilla/firefox doesn't run client-side javascript in history

    scratch that- i tracked the error down to a particular firefox extension. after upgrading the extension, the problem doesn't appear. so i'm happy. Liam Morley Software Engineer "light the deep, and bring silence to the world. light the world, and bring depth to the silence.
