  1. You have not mentioned whether the speed is obvious throughout all 4 files or part of certain files. Also, it could be a problem with the way the files were uploaded :o Have you tried contacting the site owners to let them know there might be a problem with their files?

  2. My friend will be soon opening a silver jewelry store in New Jersey and has asked me to help find a software to run the store.

    Though I consider my expertise in computers to be in mid-level, I am still confused regarding accounting softwares. I'd like to know what's the difference between a Point of Sale (POS) software and an accounting software?

    Here's what he needs: He'll be buying jewelry here in Thailand and shipping them to USA. He wants to maintain stock along with images of each design along with model number and the store he bought them from. And then he needs a software in his store where either himself or his employee would just simply key in the code number and print the bill out.

    Is there any single software which would do all of this or does he have to buy 2 softwares? I've been trying to find information about this for about 2 weeks now and it did not strike me to post asking here, until I saw another post requesting for POS software for a cafe.

    Thanks :o

  3. I guess you might have already done this, but just in case.

    On clicking "File" from the drop menu, you should have a history of about 5 last opened files. If you have not yet opened many files after your problem, why not try and see if there's 2 file of the same name showing in this "history" and open and see if you can find your saved file. I guess it should have been saved to another file in your default "save as" folder since you did not get any error message when you saved every 5 minutes. HTH :o

  4. Could someone explain how to do these Crc checks while transferring files between folders or drives? Is it an automated process or have to check each file individually? I have lost many zipped files on transferring from one disk to another. I usually don't open the files immediately after transfer. Before I usually just cut n paste. Now I copy the original file to the new disk and manually check the file to see if it has error, which is time consuming. Thanks :o

  5. UPDATE:

    Well, I did doubt virus, but it seems it's got to do more with this and adwares/spywares. I had Zonelabs ZoneAlarm Security Suite installed in my PC and was so confident in it that I never bothered to install other programs.

    Well, cdnvic's reply in What's The Best Security Suite For Ms Vista? thread got me thinking. I uninstalled ZA and installed Kaspersky's AV, ZA firewall, Lavasoft Ad-Aware, MS Windows Defender and SpyBot S&D.

    Well!!! Imagine my surprise to the amount of spyware each of the 3 anti-spyware found in my system. Also there were a few progs which ZA failed miserably in detecting as viruses. These viruses were hidden in compressed files and not active.

    I even uninstalled TweakMaster just to see whether these !#%$ viruses and spywares were causing the problem and YES that's the answer.

    Now, I'm not getting disconnected anymore.

    Here are results now:

    Thanks everyone for their inputs. :o

  6. I just took advantage of True's free upgrade from 256 Kbps to 1 Mbps and after a couple of days I am extremely satisfied. Throughput (as measured with the very cool SPEEDTEST.NET) is generally 850K+ to a variety of sites around the world. That is more than 3x the throughput of my 256K service. Since I'm paying the same as I was for 256K, it's definitely a good value, something I've not been able to say about ADSL service in Thailand very often.

    Hi, did you receive any message asking you to upgrade or do you have to go and ask yourself? Thank you.

  8. Installed TweakMaster as cdnvic suggested and used the 1st default configuration for "connection optimization wizard"

    Here's my result now.

    Don't know whether this is a temporary solution :o? Prior to having connection problems the past week, I never had any additional software to help in connections etc. So, any idea why the sudden problem?

    :D

  9. Thanks both for the replies, but you have only confirmed what my friend said. That there's a problem with my connection. Now, what I really want to know is how to go about complaining to True about this.

    Once I get home, first I'll try to use cdnvic's tweaker and if no improvement, will complain.

    Monty, the modem's true's adsl modem but not usb, but LAN type (am I quoting correctly :o?) and there's no router. It connects directly to the computer.

    What I find surprising is that there's no reduction in the speed but only frequent disconnections. This problem's there for the past 2 weeks.

    Another thought, could it be a virus thing? I had a few files that my scanner detected and deleted :D

  10. The connection at my house is frequently disconnecting. Sometimes as quick as within 10 to 15 minutes of connection. This problem arose all of a sudden. There was no problem for the past 1+ year I'm staying at the current residence. A friend of mine who's very knowledgeable in IT related field did a trace route and was surprised with the result.

    This is the result from my home:

    post-2263-1174017404_thumb.jpg

    and this is the result from my office:

    post-2263-1174017408_thumb.jpg

    I'm not aware of these technical terms, but as you can see the time in ms at home is over 1,000 ms whereas at office, it's just 10+ ms.

    I thought that the problem might be related to the phone wiring, but this guy says it's nothing wrong on my side. He asked me to call up True, my ISP and complain. I'm totally blank as to how to complain about this problem to them.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you :o
