	Throughout this forum, there are many, Many people who are very talented when it comes to computer technology, hardware, software, programming, web design, etc... I think that this thread is a great opportunity for people to ask questions, help each other, and share thier tips and knowledge. I guess I will start off. Hope that I don't sound too dumb by asking this... Does anyone know how to convert an .avi file to a .mpg file? -----signature----- Co-Author - Timetales http://www.theforce.net/timetales ----------------------------------------------- TFN Books Contributor http://www.theforce.net/books

	Hmm... I thought that there would be more willing experts in here! 2nd question... one of my favorite bands is playing in a concert soon, and they are been played simulcast on radio. Is it possible to set your computer to pick up a radio channel (which I think can be done), and then at the same time, burn the recording to CD??? -----signature----- Co-Author - Timetales http://www.theforce.net/timetales ----------------------------------------------- TFN Books Contributor http://www.theforce.net/books

	'Cause you're using too much memory How exactely does it freeze and what are you running? I have a silly little problem: I'm using IE and today none of the links I'm reading are marked read (i.e. unbolded, different color). Anything I read yesterday is still marked read though. Any ideas?

	My computer has 256 megs of RAM, I am only using IE though. The whole computer freezes and I have to do a "hard" shut down to fix it. -----signature----- Terminated

	Hmmm... then I don't know what's causing it. One solution would be to do a reformat of your system. Get it all nice and clean. Other than that, I don't know.

	I have a question: sometimes when you open a browser window it is at a certain size... you can adjust that size and when you click "open in new window" it stays that size. Sometimes however, I resize and resize and it never sticks, it always comes out the size I don't want. -----signature----- Dooku: "Surely you can do better!"

	There are a lot of programs that run in the background with out your knowledge. Pres CTRL+ALT+DEL to bring up task manager. It should show a list of everything that is running in the background. Most of these could be shutdown with out any problems. --SITH--[\|\|\|\|]--DEWD--

	Everytime I start up my computer Explorer will crash as I'm loading. I've gone into msconfig and disabled nearly every startup item, including the big two- PGP and Norton. Sometimes it works for one time after that, but then it's back. I've defrag, scanned, registry-cleaned, Norton's One Button Checkup, and frankly I'm out of ideas. Help? ¤Night
