@agrayrainbow: you could try ProcessExplorer. It is like a better version of the windows task manager.

you gotta download all the .xxx parts and then join them with this program.

Thank you so much ohbahsan!

EDIT: Can you please tell me how to use it? The tutorial is in Japanese.

UPDATE: I tried using it using but this error message comes out:

What I did was click on the top right button, selected one of the files(they're both in the same folder) and clicked the middle button at the bottom.

You're doing it right. I don't know what the error means. Check both files are complete. Also your pc needs to be able to have files with Japanese filenames.

huggumwuggums · « **Reply #346 on:** October 06, 2006, 07:47:01 AM »

^ Yeah my PC is able to have Japanese filenames, I think the problem is that the program can't find the other part of the file. Should I rename the file? The current names are:

test2856.xxx
test2857.xxx

~Dan~ · « **Reply #347 on:** October 06, 2006, 01:09:24 PM »

Erm, I'm not sure, I thought maybe it was because the file extension for these type of files is usually .jpg but I just did a test and it works when they're .xxx too. As long as the two files are in the same folder as each other and are complete (you can rightclick & properties to check this) then it should work and the filenames don't matter, it finds them.

When I had win98 I had problems unpacking some files with Japanese filenames but with XP with Japanese language support I've never had a problem with it so I dunno what it could be. We need someone to translate that error message. Does the error appear immediately or does it start to unpack the file and bomb out halfway through?

huggumwuggums · « **Reply #348 on:** October 06, 2006, 02:21:41 PM »

^ The downloads are complete(I think) and the message comes up as soon as I press the last button.

I really appreciate the time your spending troubleshooting this with me.

Rightclick each file and select properties and see if the size is the same as the size in the screenshot you posted on the previous page.

huggumwuggums · « **Reply #350 on:** October 06, 2006, 02:50:57 PM »

I feel so silly now. I could've sworn the download was over. One of the files' size is not the same. I'll let you know how it goes once I've downloaded it. Thanks!

EDIT: I don't know what was wrong with my eyes but the sizes are actually the same..

Well, it's not really a "problem", but I'm curious about this.

My mouse (it's the one with the 'laser' not the ball under it) just suddenly stopped working yesterday. I thought my PC froze at first, but everything was fine, it was just my cursor that wasn't moving at all. I re-started my PC twice, and no effect. I'm just wondering what could have happened to it? The laser is still working and all, it's just that when I plug in the mouse, no movement from the cursor.

Occasionally my keyboard stops working. I unplug it and plug it back in and it works again.

Yeah, I tried that too, but it didn't work

^sounds like you have two connected? unplug both and try again...

On a different note, for those with Mozilla(/Firefox) you need to update...
Here is a small sample of the (fixed only!)bugs just passing by on Friday:

Code: [Select]

Package        : mozilla
Vulnerability  : several
Problem type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE IDs        : CVE-2006-2788 CVE-2006-4340 CVE-2006-4565 CVE-2006-4566
                 CVE-2006-4568 CVE-2006-4570 CVE-2006-4571
BugTraq ID     : 20042

Several security related problems have been discovered in Mozilla and derived products.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following vulnerabilities:

CVE-2006-2788

    Fernando Ribeiro discovered that a vulnerability in the getRawDER
    functionallows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
    (hang) and possibly execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2006-4340

    Daniel Bleichenbacher recently described an implementation error
    in RSA signature verification that cause the application to
    incorrectly trust SSL certificates.

CVE-2006-4565, CVE-2006-4566

    Priit Laes reported that that a JavaScript regular expression can
    trigger a heap-based buffer overflow which allows remote attackers
    to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2006-4568

    A vulnerability has been discovered that allows remote attackers
    to bypass the security model and inject content into the sub-frame
    of another site.

CVE-2006-4570

    Georgi Guninski demonstrated that even with JavaScript disabled in
    mail (the default) an attacker can still execute JavaScript when a
    mail message is viewed, replied to, or forwarded.

CVE-2006-4571

    Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Firefox, Thunderbird and
    SeaMonkey allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service,
    corrupt memory, and possibly execute arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 1.7.8-1sarge7.3.1.

We recommend that you upgrade your Mozilla package.

One of these sure sounds like the Firefox bug talked about earlier this week.
I didn't save the fixes/bug reps passing by in the rest of the week.

And no new IE bugs came by this week, but several bugs about other MS programs.

Have a nice and save browsing weekend

Sometimes wireless devices lose the frequency connection with the base. Try pressing the small reset button underneath the mouse to see if it reconnects. Some models require that you hit the reset button on both the mouse and the base. If that doesn't work, try reloading the drivers for the mouse.

Will try that, thanks a lot guys!

Firefox can't find any updates, and it isn't on their web site...

i know you said the laser is still working but did you try changing the batteries anyway? (if it uses batteries xD)

Very possible they need to make a new package for Firefox (although most of the bugs above where really in Mozilla)

That is the problem with security lists, a lot of times you get to see the bug fixes before you know there was even a bug

Or you see a bug/possible exploit reported and have to wait and wait and wait ... for it it finally gets fixed.
