Also I have a new question. How can you help your computer handle video files which have a lag problem between the audio and the video? It seems to depend on the source to an extent (i.e. all files from one site will have the problem, whatever the size of the files) but is there something I can do to minimise such problems? Like, what are the best free-ish programs for showing video? (Again, pretty old computer, Windows 98).

The problems I've had like this in the past do vary depending on what program I use to view. With these files, in Windows Media Player, the audio is consistently behind the video. In Winamp, they shift about, sometimes ahead, then behind, then nearly spot on. I was just wondering if there was a program that sacrifices a little bit of quality in exchange for more stability.

At what point should I throw in with all these upgrades and shell out for a new 'puter?
Will OSX hurt my computer? Perhaps I shouldn't go higher than 9?

now, I do not have any of the really VALUABLE data from the drive backed up, naturally. I took it to a laptops place in town and they took out the drive and were about to read it but asked me if I had a password on windows and I said I did and they said they could not, then, recover anything from it because of the way windows XP is. well, they said they couldn't recover anything from program folders or from the windows folder. he plugged it in, anyway, but said it wasn't even being recognised. then he told me to come back this week, when his boss would be back from holiday and should be able to access it w/ some linux-based software?
is any of this bullshit?
it should be recognisable w/ perseverence because my computer could tell it was a 30GB drive, even though it is corrupted?
a friend said it's possible [but not 100%ly so] to just format the drive and use some data retrieval progs?

Even if there's is an XP password you can just put it as a slave disk in another PC with XP and take ownership of the files.
If the drive can be formatted you can get data off it, do not format the drive.
"but said it wasn't even being recognised" is the big problem, it might be this guy doesnt know how to install a HDD properly but this sounds bad to me.
Depending on the value of the data there is always these people

my friend that said it could be formatted and have data retrieved from also said that the password/windows XP should not be a prob and the files should be available if it was plugged in as a slave drive.
I will find out, tomorrow, when I take it back to the shop.
yeah, I am not bothered about simpsons episodes/mp3s/whatever but all of my photographs from SPECIAL times and a ton of drawings that I NEED. that I should have had back-ups of.
thanx all the same.

This might just be how the files were encoded.

The question: mput and mget aren't recognized by this ftp, it seems. So I've tried using the put and get request with a wildcard, and it responds "local: unable to open". "put C:\(pathnamestuff)\*.jpg" doesn't work, just * without the .jpg doesn't work...might there be some other way to convince the ftp to up/download multiple files? (please I really hope so...)
At least everything's working fine with uploading single files. I just have a lot of stuff to upload right now.

Some mysteries remain:It had me enter a passcode for the phone and computer and when it did this the first time it said I wouldnn't have to remember it, that it need only be entered once. However everytime I sync, both the computer and the phone ask for the passcode. A minor thing, but puzzling.
I successfully synced with iCal, to the phone, Fabulous!
New problem:For some reason, even though I tell iSync to update all contacts, it doesn't. Now I am stuck with how to get iSync to grad all my contacts from the Address Book.
Thanks for listening to me scream :-)
