    how to tell which program is using which file

    one method is to create an empty folder, drag this .avi file into it. then restart the computer so that memory is cleared. once restarted go straight to that folder, but dont open it. just select it and press SHIFT-DELETE. (hold shift down and press delete). I think if u have Windows 2000/XP...

    how uni results work

    um when i went to the open day recently at UNSW the 1 lecturer told me that it only "credit, distinction.." really matters, if u got these marks in ADV maths class or normal maths class is of no significance.... i dont know now, but he made me feel like there is no scaling in uni. But now...

    Laptops

    i agree it should be $100 more, but using dells "cusomise and buy" option to alter specifications of the laptop, they dont charge more for having 1x256 instead of 2x128...

    Laptops

    im in a similar position as you, and im really looking to get a DELL as i hear they have great keyboard things (meaning very quiet typing), as for the price i guess its ok. 1 thing i would change is instead of "DIMM Memory 256MB (2x128) DDR Memory PC2100 SDRAM " make sure its only 1x256 stick...

    Year 12 Subjects

    unsw network question

    unless the laptop actually comes with a 802.11b compatible card, il definatly get that Avaya from unsw, cheapest card i found was way >$100. hopefully i will get into that double degree (elec/comp science), but either way 10c/MB is still cheap for surfing just not for games. thanks alot guys

    unsw network question

    does anyone know what kind of network do you guys have at unsw, like if i buy a laptop would i be able to connect to the network and use unsw's resources as well as the internet? if so would i need some special wireless net cards such as 802.11b/g, or will simple 10/100 cards do?
