I've just reformatted my PC and put all my games back on, the games seem to run fine generally, but I'm getting a weird STOP error which I haven't had before. It references nv4_disp, and I've took a look in WinDebug but apparently the x86 SP3 kernel symbols I have on my PC are wrong, so all I can really find out is 'something went wrong with the display driver'. I'm running a brand new 260GTX (stock) on the 190.62 forceware drivers. Overheating is not the issue, the temperatures are fine, and it crashes at various temperatures (but only in games). I've uploaded two minidumps generated from the crash, hopefully they should be able to help in diagnosing what exactly is causing this (but as I say, for some reason WinDbg won't work for me). Thanks a lot in advance. :) — neuro(talk) 01:40, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
What's the name of the Firefox extension that overrides the version check and allows you to use old addons on new Firefox? I used to have it but I can't remember the name. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.88.99 (talk) 16:42, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
Does wikipedia have an article on that or something related? --91.145.72.220 (talk) 16:59, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
Is yahoo mail in the middle of some humungous problem with their system? For the past 3 weeks or so, whenever I use yahoo mail it completely nukes my browser. Sometimes only the mail page will be messed up - freezing, not responding to clicks, etc - but at least 50% of the time, as soon as i sign into yahoo mail it freezes all my other tabs and windows for at least 15 seconds, and maybe once every couple days it's so bad that i have to use the task manager to close all the windows. This happens on firefox and IE. I recently even got a brand new laptop, and the first time i logged into my yahoo mail, the exact same thing happened. So, I don't think it's me. Is yahoo having some kind of enormous software problem? Gohome00 (talk) 19:39, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
The website of the National Register of Historic Places (a US federal government program) allows users to download its entire database by going to this webpage. After reading the readme, I decided to run Detail.exe from that page, which is supposed to convert the program's dbf files into a more easily readable format for my HP Vista computer. However, after the program had downloaded and finished running, I couldn't find anything that it had done — it's not in My Documents, Recent Documents, My Pictures [my default location for downloads], or even the Downloaded Installations that I get by going from [my username] to AppData to Local to Downloaded Installations. I know that it ran, because when I told it to run again, it asked me if I wanted to overwrite an already created file. Any idea how I can find where these files went? I can't tell it to look for a specific format, because the Dos prompt that asks me if I want to overwrite says nothing about any non-dbf files, and the readme describes the result of running the program as only "a format most databases are able to recognize". Any ideas where I can go to look for this information? Nyttend (talk) 19:59, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
What is the difference between, say, "CAcert Class 1 CA" and "CAcert Class 3 CA"? All CAs I've seen have classes. --grawity 20:34, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
