Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

audacity.sourceforge.net

I run it on all 3 OSes and it's good to me.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Billytea is trying to connect to my wireless network and is being asked for my network key or WEP key, which I am never asked for, and is not any of my passwords. Where would I find it? I have Mac OS 10.3.6.

eta: Nevermind. My alternate tech support came online.

The Nero version we have is proprietary to the TDK drive it came with. Fortunately, the TDK drive is now sitting in Hubby's machine and burns CDs with joy and aplomb. I'll fuss with the HP when I feel techy again. Thanks!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Nero in general isn't proprietary, but when it ships with a drive, I think they tie it to that model.

hip deep in pie

I'm working on an Access database of a ceramics collection. I want to insert a small image of each piece into a form, so that it can be seen with the full catalogue record. However, I've been having trouble getting the OLE object to insert itself as an image, not a package. I've tried inserted it as both an embedded object, and a link. I've tried different file associations for the image files. I'm lost and ready to admit defeat. Does anyone have any suggestsions? I'm running Access 2003 on XP.

We have PCs. So Audacity should work?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh, great hivemind of tech wisdom, I could use some help over here. I have Windows 2000 and I just upgraded from IE5.5 (which worked fine) to IE6.0 and now it's effing up bad. Convulsion-inducing flashes when downloading ads, and slow as heck even though I have 60 gigs of memory now, giving me "not enough memory" error messages, and crashing for no reason. I hate Microsoft. Can I go back to IE5.5? Or should I just upgrade to Windows XP?

I've got it on 40 or so PCs at work, and it works fine. Just be sure to get the LAME library if you want to export mp3's -- the link should be somewhere pretty upfront on the Audacity page.

Um.

My first question would be why. IJS.

You may have accidentally downloaded something nasty. Take a look at your task manager and look for any processes which are taking up a lot of CPU or memory. Post a screenshot if you're unsure what to look for.

Also run Startup Control Panel to see what's being loaded when you boot up. Does anything look suspicious?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sue, the only way I could get it to work on Access 2000 (on my XP Home machine) was to drag an actual graphics image to the control on the form. Everything else I tried resulted in it comming in as a package. Even dragging in a thumbnail of the picture doesn't work - it has to be the actual image (both the Windows preview and from Mozilla worked for me).

If this isn't what you need, I can send you some VB code that will do it, but you'll have to wait until tomorrow for that.
