PoolHaddock Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Ok. Let me just calm down....... What does this mean? It's the "memory dump" bit that worries me. Obviously my computer works now. What was this all aboot? Trout? http://static.flickr.com/83/252506497_5454f99ebb_o.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junior Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Thats what commonly known as a Blue Screen Of Death (really). It happens from time-to-time on my machine and usually fixes itself but can fatal. I think nv4_disp is an Nvidia graphics driver (or related), were you installing a new graphics card? I think memory dumps are to be expected with BSODs, its just the computers way of recording what it was doing at the time, nothing to worry about (I say confidently knowing your PC if fine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trout Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Well well me peerie fish. Yup thats the one. "Blue Screen Of Death" due to your NVidea based gfx card driver throwing a tantrum. Were you trying to play a game that is trying to use DirectX? This often happens due to that. Restart your computer and tap the f8 key until you get to see an Advancd options menu. Then start your computer in Safe Mode. Select Admininstrator on the welcome screen and log in. You'll then be in safe mode and your screen will have this plastered over it. Hold down your [windows key] and press [break] to get up your [system properties window] or navigate to it from inside the [control panel] Select [hardware] and then [device manager] and then click on the [+] next to [display adapters] and right click on the [nvidia] adapter and choose [uninstall] and click [ok] Close everything and reboot your PC starting it normally. It'll start with just a basic display adapter installed. You should then install your [display driver] from whichever disc you have them on .. and or from the latest one that you downloaded from the net. Then yer good to go. Thank you for contacting your system administrator or technical support group for assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoolHaddock Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Well, not so much a problem this time, more of a "whit the hell is yun" moment. I clicked on the TV & Film thread and this came up... http://farm1.static.flickr.com/136/361527133_404751bcdb.jpg Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trout Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Your security settings on the browser has flagged since google analytics are using a certificate signed to google. Dinna du worry noo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustMe Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I have noticed the google analytics getting a brief mention as Shetlink loads. But just what does it do?. Not that I mind being analysed by google but it would help to know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peeriebryan Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 ^ Google analytics is a free online application that is essentially a convenient way for us to see some statistics about this website (i.e. page views, unique website hits, which pages link to us etc). Its nothing sinister, as that kind of info is available through looking at server logs etc. It's just a convenient representation of the data Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trout Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 You can check it out here: http://www.google.com/analytics/ It is the same information that is collected by any servers logfiles when you view any website. It is just shown in a new and fancy way. There is a small piece of JavaScript within the pages that makes a call to the google servers. That is the part that you are noticing. Google also has great tools if you want to take it the next step along with ROI tools on e-commerce for instance, you can add in entry and exit pages of a shopping cart and see if visitors go the whole hog. This way you can guage how shoppers use your site etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustMe Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Thanks for that.......just wondered what it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoolHaddock Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 More an annoying thing now. Every time I load a new page on here, this pops up! Just though I would mention it... http://farm1.static.flickr.com/185/366891872_19e8d09705_o.jpg ....Every single time!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njugle Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Interestingly, my browser popped-up a security cert. warning about paypal on Shetlink this morning for the first time ever that i can mind. It only happened once though. [edit] i accepted the cert. "This time only"[/edit] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fjool Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Yeah, I got this too until I just accepted the certificate on a temporary basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trout Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 ?? Eh? What browser are you using and what is the security settings of it? Are they set to maximum? The only explanation for that is the paypal donate image as it's parsed from the paypal site. Try lowering your internet security settings from "nabudies gyan tae git in here" or put Shetlink as a trusted site. Or accept the certificate for evvverrrrr *mwaahahaha*! note: that recommendation ^^ does not bind me or Shetlink to your computer getting mangled.

Fjool Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Speaking only for myself but my browser is FF and has been set to the same security settings as it has been for yonks. Something has changed server-side, not here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njugle Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Yup, i agree with Fjool. I've changed nothing at all, it has to be at the other end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
