The PC used to be a company pc. I bought it on auction. On
the logon screen it has 3 options, 2 of which are network
domains and 1 is (this computer).

It also has an administrator account but without a
password.

I wish to clear those domain options and create myself as
the sole administrator. To do this I need to change the
current administrator user name.

How do I accomplish the above?

You're best bet is to start everything from scratch. This will eliminate
all the hidden surprises.

How do you know hackers are accessing your computer? At
any rate, enable your built-in XP firewall immediately.
to do this, follow these steps:

Go to the Start Menu
Go to the Control Panel
Go to the Network Connections icon
Find the connection you use (i.e. the one that connects
you to the internet and usually the default connection)

Right click the connection you use and go down to
properties. Next go to the "Advanced" tab (its the last
tab along the top below the title bar). Check the box
next to "Protect My Computer and Network by Limiting"
blah blah blah. Click OK. If you've done this properly,
you'll see a small lock appear in the top right hand
corner of the network icon you use to connect to the
internet. There are advanced settings for this firewall
that allow you to open certain ports, but if you're not
sure, look into it more. Try these microsoft articles and
columns for more info about the XP built-in Firewall:

You get a blue screen with an error do you? Now how the heck do you suppose
any of us are supposed to assist you when that's all you give us to go on?
We cannot see your computer so, therefore, we haven't a clue what "an error"
may be.

Post back, giving us the full details of that blue screen.

Thank you

Well your 'friend' knows nothing - most are perfectly compatible - I can run
7 year old Windows games perfectly happily under XP - I was replaying Broken
Sword 1 only last night.

well im sorry but i cant write down the whole page of the blue screen, thats
besides the point because its not the same exact error each time. And I dont
just get the blue screen, I get critical errors then my game exits, or the
gamer will sometimes just crach, or just freeze, or give me a blue screen.
basically these game are UNSTABLE but I need help on why. My drivers up to
date, im wondering if windows98 will run them better.

It could be your video card drivers as NVIDIA and XP do not get alone well.

The latest drivers from NVIDIA will not necessarily be the best so try a
few.

Hi,
I've been experiencing this issue for a week already.My
Microsoft Internet Explorer isn't working and i'm not
able to download anything at all. I tried downloading
yahoo messenger and it told me that there was connection
with my server.I'm not quite sure if it's because there
is too many files that needed to be deleted or maybe
there is something wrong with AOL. I don't think AOL is
the problem because I can log on it and search
fine.Please help me this problem.Thank you for your time.

I am trying very hard to create a looping cloud animation for my website. I have tried to do it by using few jpeg images of clouds but once they start again it skips and it is not very smooth.

Can anyone tell me how to make a good looping animation like this?

Thanks

[Bryce]

I created one for [url]http://www.windmillconstruction.com/[/url]. I forget how I
did it right now, but I know it wasn't hard. I can send you the .fla
when I find it. Tonight probably.

Bryce

Thanks very much.

Can I ask another question please?

I have created a rollover scrolling button inside and movieclip. I used an actionscript with the "_root.movie" function and it worked fine. Because my flash has gotten larger I have decided to create a new swf file which calls in swf movie into this new movie. I used a "loadmovie" script and it loads my scrolling movie with no problems. The problem is that it does not scroll anymore.

The "_root.movie" function was used to control it's own movie but now because it is in another movie it does not work.

Can you please help me? Please.... I have tried it for days.... I can't find anyone to help me.

Thank you very much.

Roy

darkone -

Create a new movie clip and name it whatever you like - clouds, for instance.
Put your clouds on the stage and put them where you want the animation to start AND end. create 2 new keyframes for the start and beginning. (as many frames apart was you want the animation). use the frames between to create new keyframes for your cloud motion. once you have everything tweened up, create a keyframe just before the final keyframe. now remove the final keyframe from the movie clip. This movie clip will now loop without that "jump" you talked about. since the last frame and the first frame are the same, you get a repeating frame - causing the jump (pause).

If you have a sample of your work or would like me to send you an example, please let me know.

Thanks -

Tim

The cloud animation is a sequence of animated real cloud. I have seen many people do this so I would like to know how do I use a animated sequence of photos and not get that jump.

this is a example website.

I think you can just import a movie clip into flash, and then drag the
timeline out to the end of it. If the movie loops, then you can just write
gotoAndPlay(1) (if the movie clips starts in frame one) and it will loop.

Hi Roy,

I encountered the same problem in one of my movie clips. Unfortunately,
I did not find a solution (which is not to say there isn't one) and was
forced to go back to having it just as a movieclip. I would be
interested to find out the solution if anyone knows of one.

Roy, if you figure it out post to this thread. I'll see what I can come
up with.

Bryce

Here's what I would do.

I've done this for a looping time-lapse animation, so here's how I did it to make it look smooth.

Take each image of the sequence (ie - image1, image2, image3) and create separate graphic symbols for each (insert gif/jpg/whatever) then convert to symbol (f8) and name appropriately.

Im sure you know how to do all this, I'm just being explicit in an attempt to be clear.

Create a movie clip - clouds

Layer1 - image1
Layer2 - image2
Layer3 - image3

There are 2 methods:

1 - time-lapse / movie mode

layer 1 - frame 1- the keyframe for image 1
layer 2 - frame 1 empty, frame 2 has keyframe
layer 3 - frames 1+2 empty, 3rd frame has keyframe of last cloud sequence

To prevent the jump, create a 4th layer (bottom-most layer) and put a keyframe of clouds1 under the clouds 3

Tween the image3 image from 100%alpha to 0% alpha (using OUT or IN to acheive the desired effect).

End the movie

Make sure that each image is only on the stage for 1 frame (or however many frames you want them to last depending on your framerate and the framerate of the source clouds animation)

2 - Fading animation

Do the same as method 1, except, tween all images to fade out over the previous image.

Remember to do the keyframing tip i gave you for the looping sequence (insert keyframe before final keyframe, remove final keyframe for a better loop).

You may want to experiment with this layout, as these methods work differently (visually) with different types of images and animations.

I've linked a small screenshot for example.

Let me know if you need anything else -

Tim
