Look at C:\Documents and Settings\$yourname\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\

There should be backups of the your bookmarks there.

Hi hipsters,

i wanna make an OPV (or any multi media presentation that involves pictures and clips). What are the tools/software that i need?

Is there any easy to use program like photo story 3 (picture presentations) but that enables me to mix video as well?

is there any way to move my current XP HD to another system and make it work (boot)? I don't feel like reinstalling 100s of apps on my new rig. Thanks in advance

It might work, it might not. If your new system has a different motherboard, different graphics card etc then some settings & drivers will be different. If it boots then it'd probably want to re-install some of the drivers. It'd probablly be better to install XP again on your new pc and put in your current HD as a slave drive so you'd still be able to access all your videos/music, etc.

I already tried it, and it did not boot. As my new system had a diff mobo, processor and vid card. It's not the data (video/audio) files I'm worried about but rather the apps; cause I've lost many of the installer programs and it will be a pain to reinstall/redownload them all over again. So there's no work around so my old HD can boot in my new system?

It depends a bit on the XP license you have, if its locked to your origional PC you might have problems.
What you can try is a 'repair install': In the new machine boot from the XP install CD, after it has found your current install select 'repair' and follow the procedure (you will need your XP license number!)

Here is a Microsoft support link to get you started:

Does anyone know what this means? I got it when I tried to extract those .xxx/.jpeg files from Japanese uploaders.

Thanks tg! Hmmm..that's weird, I have the files in the same directory. can anyone tell me the right way to extract the files?

Thanks zig! Well it's still not working for me and I can't seem to download the hex editor from the site. I think my download manager could be the one to blame, maybe it messed up the files while downloading it or something.

ziggurat · « **Reply #994 on:** May 21, 2007, 08:37:19 AM »

I see. If the files mess up.. You need to re download it then... -_-

Here a hex editor i found in my software folder..

Thanks for that link ziggy. Now I can see the vid I downloaded!

Ugh this torrent downloading nonsense is doing my head in. With uTorrent, Azureus and BitComet, I've forwarded the appropriate port, set the appropriate download and upload speeds, switched Windows Firewall off and set them as exceptions in my other firewall. Yet with one torrent having a swarm of 1392 (171 seeds/1221 peers) and each torrent client saying everything is a-ok, I'm still getting speeds up to 2.0kB/s, connecting to 2-3 seeds and 44 peers.

frblckstr1 · « **Reply #997 on:** May 29, 2007, 05:27:13 AM »

^ Are you actually uploading? Also: maybe when its 'the first time' your share-ratio limits the download speed/peers you actually get.

Tuffty · « **Reply #998 on:** May 29, 2007, 09:28:16 AM »

Huzzah! It seems to be working reasonably well. It's still around 20kB/s but it's already 10x better than what it previously was. The problem I think was, that in my failed attempts to look at guidance from other sources, I was actually limiting my download/upload speed. I just set them all to 0 which gives it unlimited rates. I was starting to panic too because there was no upload speed at all for any torrents, which would affect my share ratio. I think I'll stop tampering with the client now!

frblckstr1 · « **Reply #999 on:** May 29, 2007, 10:23:44 AM »

^ If you are on an ADSL type line, I would limit the upload speed to 70% of the maximum up line speed (makes for better download speeds)
