Totage Hosting http://www.totagehosting.com Nice frames, this is something I started out with when I was first messing with site building. The layout is cool. Your offers are laid out there, that's cool. With other sites like godaddy or even free ones like tripod/angelfire you never know what you're getting. This is more easy to pick up. It looks really professional. |

Your computer freezing is tough to say without being there to take a look at it. I am not the most experienced at hardware...Though I know way more then the average person on the subject. I would guess what you are experiencing is most likely qa software problem...could be device drivers or something that gummed up your OS. The first thing I thought of was to re-install your OS and will automatically re-install your drivers as well.That will not definetly fix it... but even if it was not the source of the problem you would prolly notice improvements. WHERE have you been?! This is your area. Are you talking about a system restore? That would start everything over yaknow? Would that be best for what's happening here? I saw you a few times in the forums...I was gonna say something but I could not think of anything... You may want to have someone walk you through a dual boot after creating a partition..this does not require you to restore files and folders... as system restores usually lose programs do they not??? With a dual boot you can reformat a partition on your HDD and still keep all your files as they were. You should have. I would have said something back. Far as I know those things require being next to a computer nerd as he does it. But if I had the steps, maybe I could try, I've never heard of a dual boot before. I always pressed F10 after anything would crash, this I don't want to do though. How exactly does one do a dual boot without a nerd next to you? When you say f10 I suppose you are reffering to entering the BIOS screen correct? It is f2 and f10 or 11 on mine. There is a couple ways to do it. First you enter the disk management ( I usually enter this by going to the control panel and entering disk management into the search box). You can partition the HDD during the install b ut it is a little easier to do like this. You right click on what I am guessing is your only partition (C: drive) and click on remove section or something to that nature. Lemme check...shrink volume is what you want to click on. It will ask you how much space ... on this your guess is as good as mine. You will want at least 10-20 GB prolly more like 50 or 100 depending on how much space you have. DO not activate the partition .. my OS is 7 and if a partition is prepared to have an OS written to it ... it will be black and say un-allocated on it and I am pretty sure Vista and XP are exactly the same if not very close. Next you'll need an OS I have a key that you can enter into the command line to get a 30 trial although most OS's allow you some time (assuming you burned an image online of like XP or something).. you can download it online and burn it to disk ... lets say you have Windows 7 and you wanted to download XP professional (which is what I am going to do). Once you have an 2nd OS ready to install you will want to enter the BIOS... it usaully says press f2 or f10 f11 ect on the Windows logo screen while loading the OS. There might be 2 menus to choose from but do not worry it is not hard to find what you will be looking for. When try and boot from your newly burned disk it will automatically boot from the same OS and not allow the CD to run when it needs to, to perform the install. The reason for this is the boot sequence (remember that name)...your start up menu (BIOS) should show things like system clock, system, processor, disk drive ....menus to choose from.. one of them is the boot sequence...this is what you want...if you try to change it ...it may issue a security warning and you'll have to go to a menu below named security and enter a pass code you have entered in the past...you may not have one...either way you will want to de-select the HDD..hard drive or whatever your C: disk name is. This will force your PC to boot from the OS that is in the optical disk drive...make sure the optical disk drive is selected (on mine it has a number next to it and yours will to) the optical disk drive should say DVD/CD drive or soemthing to that nature...make sure it is selected so that the CD will boot...now if you did that right it should boot from the install CD... when it asks what kind of install you want to do you click on advanced... it will ask something about the the disk and partitioning... you will at this point want to direct it to install to the partition you created...In the past I have had problems with this on Linux...I feel pretty safe saying all files it may ask you about... can be written to the to the same partition that you crweated... make sure all writing goes to that partition you crreated....if you do it right it will offer a choice of two OS's when it boots....you may also want to download a boot manager to ensure that no problems occure. It is not hugely difficult but things can go wrong pretty easily and you'd have to reformat your HDD if you do not know exactly what you're doing..even had you backed up your files you would not be able to restore them unless you wrote them to an external disk if something were to go wrong. I just copied and pasted this so I can read it and check it out. My main problem with all this is I feel like ONE little mistake might burn out the hard drive or just kill it for good. I'm hoping to take the first step of this slowly and see what happens. |

Thanks, I use table columns for the layout. I've always avoided using frames. The entire site is just one PHP file, which they don't recommend, but it works for me so I don't care what they say. lol
I'm glad you enjoyed it and think it's professional. I know it's a bit wordy ( well, a lot actually), but I want people to know what they're getting with me before they decide to order. |

Add/remove may help some, but even after you uninstall a program files and reg keys are still left on your computer a lot of times. Guess that'll take me at a fork in the road. Is there a way permanently extract a program so that doesn't happen? After uninstalling with the programs uninstaller (recommended if they have one) or ad/remove (next thing to do if program has no uninstaller), manually removing the left over files and reg keys. Other than that I don't think there's a way. You don't want to mess around with the registry unless you know exactly what you are doing, it's very easy to mess things up in there. Getting it professionally looked at, that's what I'm going for here. Whenever I try to fix things myself, I end up breaking it, and its not even broken, just wonky. I've messed up computers to the point where even reformatting wasn't an option. I guess you could say it was on purpose, they were junk computers I was just messing around with learning things on. Some computers weren't meant to be saved. But I think mine is. She's taken a swift beating over the years but she's been good to me and all the times I pressed F10 she's forgiven me. I guess you could call mine a junk one by that standard lol By junk I meant secondary and older. Yours seems to be primary and older, so not so much junk. lol Ahhh, I don't doubt its old. Hell I carry it in a big leather suitcase and always get the stares. |

My oldest desktop was about 10 years old before I killed it. Well, unless you want to count the '75 Emerson I had. I wish I still had that Emerson.

I know it's a bit wordy ( well, a lot actually), but I want people to know what they're getting with me before they decide to order. What I meant to say is your tables are organized and placed much more than frames, they get a little confusing. More big web-hosting sites have all these bells and whistles, WAY too many of those ads on the sides too. But that's a little known secret in site-building. Its where your other profits come from. Sometimes a shockwave appears RIGHT across the page and I wonder if its just me or has the site lost its schitt. lol It is, but I overlooked it when I saw the important stats laid out cleanly. The details underneath the package are to be expected. Just the way the columns are. Its a good thing to list all you can so the peeps know what to expect. |

I follow the K.I.S.S rule and less = more rule (for the most part). I've made decent money on ad revenue before, but Google blacklisted me so I don't do ads anymore, and I don't think that it would give a good impression to clients to see ads.
What's that say about the host when they need to clutter their site in ads to make a buck? |

 Technology dies, this is the sad thing. There's always something new and flashy every six months or so. First desktop I owned, a 91 Mac with built in speakers and some other frilly feature (wasn't ROM think it was AOL or something to do with yahoo installation, a free one) my dad was always messing with. I was a Mac girl until 2005. Literally had to be put down, a la "Office Space" style in the end. PC laptops grew on me. I have a '07 Vista (which I think hates me all the time) but runs a lot better than the sony viao I'm on now.

What's that say about the host when they need to clutter their site in ads to make a buck? I had a friend that had this model-plane building business and most of the time he relieved on the ads for revenue. I guess because the sales and business was down he sold products from his home and shipped it all over the country. Guess he was a prime example of that little technique. |

He probably would have had more success focusing on SEO/SEM and PCC. Ads only work ( and not even that well) once you're getting a steady stream of I think 5K or more unique visitors per month, and they have to be quality hits.

He had visitors but his problem was mostly the site's credibility. It was completely unappealing. Didn't have to be purdy but it was very singular, slanted. Didn't have enough info and images were always crooked, not lined up properly. It was a mess. I tried telling him once about this and he's like "this is the best I can do."

I second that if you just had your computer worked on, you should contact the person who did the work and see if they know what's up. If you don't know what you're doing, you can really mess things up
