How can i completely get rid of them without dumping my whole system? I mean completely get rid of them. If my Girl gets ahold of this ---- im screwed. And she is a computer nerd kinda girl so i gotta do it quick. lol her parents build computer systems and programs for the government on fort hood and they taught her all kinds of stuff. Enough that she built her own computer. i did go to search, and searched for pictures. No title or anything, just any pictures on the computer, couldn't find them. So someone help me out.
It will pretty much point to the folder its in.

On the Audio Tab, make sure the Sound card is listed for playback, recording and midi. It might have gotten switched to another device. Usually a modem. The Voice tab should have the sound card selected as well.

Re: Computer dorks git in here!
You're fucked, just kidding there is hope. Reason being, data on a hard drive (HD) is never really destroyed, only over written. There is an application (app) out there called PC Inspector File Recovery. This is one of the many apps we use to extract data from HD's that had been deleted or even formatted. You wouldn't believe half the ---- I find on people's PC's.........
However, since your girlfriend know's about the Gov's rules on data on HD's, I'm sure she knows about the U.S. Department of Defense 5220.22M complaince. Basically, it states that after a hard drive has been wiped/overwritten 7 times, it's almost impossible to recover all the bits and pieces to piece the data back together. Beat her to the punch and go to www.download.com and get the app called "Disk wipe". The only con about this app is that it only allows you to delete 1 file at a time. But that's definately better than waking up with a .45 to your head ;o).
With all this being said, who in the hell s gonna help me put a turbo (STS Turbo rear mount/remote style) on my Ford Expediton

Re: Computer dorks git in here!
Being able to build a comp doesn't really make her overly intelligent with computers. As long as you get the right combination of parts (ie proc/mobo), it's as easy as putting legos together.
Just reformat and say the computer went ape-----. If you got a gf then ---- her instead of downloading **** on her computer, or tell her to build you one.

No, you can specify which folder it is. Use PC File File Inspector to search for it 1st. Then enable "hidden files", then search for it again within Disk wipe and kill it. CCleaner and Windowwasher are great apps.
