Artist Ksenya Simonova does a sand animation live---a depiction of the Great Patriotic War (or as we in the West know it, the Eastern Front of WWII). The artist is Ukrainian, and of the 30,000,000 or so who died in the struggle, about a third were from the Ukraine. The words at the end, I am told, t...

I've only had the chance to see Tokyo Godfathers and Paprika, but I'm always on the look-out for the others because I loved those two so much... You must, must, must, must see Millennium Actress. One of the most beautiful films I have seen in any medium. It is only available subbed. Seeing "Pe...

What movies/works of his have you seen? The first of his films that I saw was Millennium Actress, and it was a stunning film. The following is the trailer for Millennium Actress, which really does not do the movie justice, since the integration of the art, music and storyline is so intricately plann...

It took out the train but not the camera? Should homes be bolted down with the same material? :uhoh: *E* The camera is mounted on a rear-facing engine. According to the guy that posted the video, the cars that were lifted were empty and weighed about 30 tons, while the engines each weighed up to 20...

It very common for a black window to run command line utilities to pop up during install programs and other scripts, so that by itself is not unusual.

I'm in a bit of a rush now, but if I get a chance I'll think about the rest, though I may not be able to offer any help.

If you have a local technician that can help you, let them do so and let them know about the specific things you have looked out; this should be something that is readily resolvable, despite the consternation that it is causing you.

Good luck

One thing to note when upgrading certain programs and using update checkers is that some install programs do not delete old versions and this will still show up as needing a fix in Secunia or File Hippo etc. From a security standpoint, it is a good idea to delete the old versions, since malware coul...

*E*, when did the problem with .EXE files start? Did you try the solution in the FAQ for using folder option to edit or restore the EXE file association? It looks pretty straightforward. Otherwise, if it was recent enough, and you have system restore running, you should be able to do a system restor...
