  1. I'm running Windows XP. In our house here, we have several computers, all connected via The Microsoft Gateway using my DSL modem/router. This way, someone in the living room using her laptop can print a document in my little office here where I have a network printer. We can even access a large hard drive I have on my computer from any PC on our little in-house network, our intranet. I am dismayed however, that I am unable to share a WebCam on this network. Anyone know how to do this easily? I would like to be able to view a WebCam which is in another place in my house (without running a long USB cable). Anyone know how to do this? Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
  2. I've seen this happen before as part of the symptoms of a nasty virus. I have ferreted out everything I can, is there a legitimate way of enabling/disabling access to the task monitor? The particular userid this is happening to is an administrator! How can I turn on her rights?
  3. the movies were only 600 to 700 Meg in size anyway, so selecting the "normal" quality (which is recommended), viewing the movies on a regular television looked actually very good. You figure, the resolution of a normal (low definition?) TV, even a good-sized flatscreen, is less than your typical SVGA monitor. I was actually surprised at how good the quality seemed. Next time, I might select the higher quality setting but I am betting that the actual visual appearance won't be any better. It's just nice to have a way of putting whatever video I might have (the 11-year-olds dance recital recorded on my digital camera) on to a format that "Aunt Bessie" won't have any trouble viewing.
  4. I discovered this forum because of a match on Dennis D.'s original post -- I wanted to do exactly what he did: create DVD compatible disk from a movie I had on my PC, a Divx movie. Following along the thread, I downloaded a copy ofDVD flick. The first project I tried was putting 4 movies on a standard DVD. The utility told me I didn't have enough space so I deleted one "title", as they are called and burned a DVD, WITH A NICE LITTLE MENU, no problem. DVD flick handles multiple titles intuitively, using a user selected "frame" from the movie as a thumbnail for the menu choice -- really slick. It did take almost 3 hours to burn the DVD with almost 5 hours of content (three normal length movies). I have a dual core processor and the utility makes use of this and even has a option to shut down your computer after it has finished -- allowing for bedtime burning, something that makes a lot of sense given how long it takes and how tied up the machine will be in doing the process. All in all, a very nice application, I give it 10 of 10 and recommend it highly. It even has a "entertain me" button for gamers who want to wait and watch it work. I won't tell here what it does to entertain the user -- go get the utility and find out for yourself! Make sure to donate, using pay pal or whenever, to the authors of this great little program -- it was refreshing to discover a "no strings attached" freeware product like this, amid all the sneaky, snake oil, smoke and mirrors methods out there to extort a fee from a user for trying a "open-source" product. Bravo for DVDflick!
