Twiggyish: What software are you using (to convert from video to DVD) and what format is the video currently in?

Curious1, if you can afford to wait a bit and be very diligent about checking sales, you might be able to better your price. Dell has been running some BIG sales on a sort of short term surprise basis. If you can get in at the right time, you can sometimes get $750 off a $1500 machine. I have an Inspiron 600m that I am very happy with, but I had an Inspiron 2200 that had so many freeze-ups right out of the box that I sent it back immediately.

Anyway, if you are able to be this diligent, you can check www.bensbargains.net early every morning. Watch it for about a month to get a feel for prices. Then if you see a super deal, jump on it the minute you see it. You can also click on the discussion items for each listing. The other posters there will tell you if this is a super deal or not.

For those who might be curious about Curious, we have corresponded off board, and I have put the Jujufrugaldawg seal of approval on her Dell deal if she decides she wants to go that route. It beats what I paid by at least $300.

1) Go back to the Hobby Hall page by clicking HERE

2) go to the bottom of the page ..notice that RIGHT ABOVe the words "STOP! Before you start" there is, in the grey area, the following phrase "Start New Thread"

3) just click on start new thread and a new thread posting area will show up :-) Just fill in the title for the thread in the subject area and fill your request in the post area.

Hi Everyone,
I'm on webtv right now, But i'm going to be buying a computer in the next 2 days and would like some advice on what to buy.
I checked out the emachines at walmart for about 700.00 and the guy helping me said it was a great deal for the money, but I don't want to buy anything that would be a waste of money in the end. I'm looking to spend up to 800 or less if possible.
Thank you for any and all Help with this.

Kellirippa: Can you give any more details? Is there more information in the message you are seeing, a specific page or part of the page causing the error?

I don't know of anything that has changed dramatically in the time you were away that would cause this. Please let me know.

Kellirippa,

It appears some parts of the board are working ok for you. I've not had any other reports of this type of problem so I'm sorry to keep asking questions. Could you tell me where on the board you are seeing this message appear? Was there any link or thread you clicked on when you saw the message? Does it happen every time you try the same thing? Could you copy and paste the 'address' as it appears in your browser location window so that I can try it too.

Also, what browser are you using? Any other details you can offer may help resolve this.

Thanks for answering already and for your assistance in resolving this problem.

Sherbabe: Edit your profile.
You should see your most recent 10-12 posts and they are clickable links.

I'm puzzled. If I go to any area other than general discussions, even if I am signed in, I get thrown out and have to re-sign in.

Is this new, or is my computer acting up?

Lkunkel: Look in the address bar at the top of your browser when you 'are' logged in. Most likely it will be an old bookmarked link starting with tvclubhouse.bomis in it. If that's the case, the problem was caused when we converted the board to use www.tvclubhouse.com instead. All old bookmarks will still work, however, once you get to the board, any link on the board now is different so the cookies from your previous login don't work.

To remedy this, go to the 'HOME' link on the top of the page and login with the username/password section on the right side of the menu. Then go through the topics and replace all your current bookmarks/favorites with the new one.

The only alternative would be to edit all your current bookmarks and change tvclubhouse.bomis to www.tvclubhouse in the link.

I have AVG free virus protection. I am getting the message that my email scanner is not fully functional...don't know why? Also, for some reason emails are coming to me showing there is an attachment, but nothing is there.

Texannie, here is the AVG Technical Support page:

http://www.grisoft.com/doc/8/lng/ww/tpl/tpl01

You might find your answers there, or maybe be able to use the search box for answers. Or look around on that website and see if they have a forum. You can bet somebody else has had the same problem before.
