Alright nerds, got a bit of a problem with a .avi file that won't play on my laptop. It's a clip we got from the hossy from one of my missus' pregnancy scans. WMP won't play it, giving the error code: Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file. Windows Media Player C00D11B1. Realplayer won't play it saying: This pin cannot use the supplied media type. DivX won't play it saying: Unsupported format VLC at least opens it, but only shows a still picture. It's a pretty new Samsung laptop, with everything up to date as far as I'm aware...tried the same file in my missus' work laptop and it played no problem. All my other .avi file…

I have managed to 'brick' younguns PSP by mistake. Like a soft twat i tried installing a lower firmware onto the PSP without downgrading first so i now have a full brick. I can not enter recovery mode and all it does is power on the green light stays on for about 20 seconds then powers back off. I was told to go on ebay and search for a pandora battery but i can't find fuck all. Anyone here had any experience at recovering their PSP.

Dear TNF superstars, your help would be really appreciated with this problem. I have a BT Home Hub (though i don't use it wirelessly) that has displayed the 'Limited or no connectivity' message since Saturday. All the lights are on blue on the hub (power, broadband, wireless), which i assume means that the Hub is receiving the Broadband signal and hence there is no problem with the line. I tried using a new network cable between the hub and the PC but that made no difference. However, the PC does recognise when i press the restart button on the hub, as the message switched to 'the connection is lost' or some shit, until the hub completely restarted itself and the lights a…

Is there anyway you can juice up an iPhone whilst out and have no opportunity to give it a quick charge? I used to carry a spare BlackBerry battery with me fully charged so I could just swap them over but obviously this isn't an option with the iPhone.

I used to love the old 'point and click' games when I was younger but they seem less popular nowadays, is that down to improvements in graphics making these types of games less appealing? Anyway, anyone have any favourites? I love Day of the Tentacle: Broken Sword 1 and 2 were also ace. Which is one the only ones I still own. I've been told about something called Scumm(?) which is a, legal, emulator for games like these, I might have to check it out.

I remember a while ago Will Robbo set something up on the server called 'top' or something, and when I logged into it I could see what was happening on the server. I'd like to use it again to keep an eye on the server load whilst I'm running the 'live topic', but haven't got a clue how to do it. I think I need to use 'terminal' to see it, but can anyone tell me exactly what I need to do to get this working?

I might have asked this question before, as I've been looking for a certain program for ages. I need some kind of software that records the stuff being played out loud from the computer (and saves it down to, for instance, a wav-file), for instance the sound from a youtube clip, a skype conversation a song being played. No microphones or stuff, just a simple program. Does it exist?

Does anyone here use support/help desk ticketing software? I want something that is free. Something like Spiceworks - Free Network Monitoring Software for Network Management which is good but trys to do too many things for my liking. I want staff to be able to submit and track computer problems raised via a 'ticket' from their email or from a web portal that is either online or hosted locally. There seem to be a few out there but hopefully someone here has already done the ground work and can recommend a specific one.

Does anyone use this formula in vlookups? I've seen it used by people who are much better with Excel than me on a few spreadsheets at work but I can't work out in what context to use it, what it does exactly or how to write it into my own vlookups. Any tips?

Hi people just a question about display settings, just got a new tv which is supposedly a 1080p capable tv at 100hz (Samsung D5520) but it only seems to be showing 1080i at 50hz? Is there a reason for this as I can't seem to find anywhere to change the setting or does it depend on the program channel or cables I'm using? Currently just got it connected to SKY HD box with the hdmi cable supplied with it. Any help much appreciated as can't seem to find anything specific online. Thanks
