Even spam. ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Nov 03, 2004 4:15 pm ----------------------------------- huh? :? Utility just brings up stuff like Magnifier, Onscreen keyboard and Narrator... the accessability stuff.. Just go back to the same screen and turn them off.. Otherwise just format it. Yes... format is the answer to any software problem :lol: ----------------------------------- rizzix Wed Nov 03, 2004 4:16 pm ----------------------------------- ur evil :lol: (pff just buy a mac) ----------------------------------- apomb Wed Nov 03, 2004 4:17 pm ----------------------------------- well, flashkicks, y doesnt he just restart the computer, or push the same button combination again and change the colors... unplug the computer, it should reset. ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Nov 03, 2004 4:17 pm ----------------------------------- ur evil no :o http://www.compsci.ca/bbs/files/devil.gif ----------------------------------- Paul Wed Nov 03, 2004 8:14 pm ----------------------------------- I thought winkey + u is shutdown, but nvm I see. Isn't it just magnifyer, onscreen keyboard and narrator??? only the magnifyer would change the screen on the top. and I like this dude better: http://paulbian.f2g.net/images/devil.PNG according to SOME ppl, the devil should be left handed ;) ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Nov 03, 2004 9:57 pm ----------------------------------- Paul - no :evil: ----------------------------------- Paul Wed Nov 03, 2004 10:54 pm ----------------------------------- roffle ----------------------------------- rizzix Wed Nov 03, 2004 11:16 pm ----------------------------------- yea those one-word responses are funny ----------------------------------- Flashkicks Thu Nov 04, 2004 9:35 am ----------------------------------- We have tried time and time again to unChange the settings and still it does nothing. Unless there is a lil check box that we just havent noticed yet- Ill look into it more but until then we're basically screwed.. And about formatting- i agree; it solves everything! But seeing how its our school computers that MIGHT just be adding to the problem..lmbo :lol: ----------------------------------- Tony Thu Nov 04, 2004 12:29 pm ----------------------------------- so that's what you tell your school Your computer is fucked, give me administrative rights to format it.. or have the system administrator try to do that, whatever. I have to go and not be around idiots now, bye :) ----------------------------------- Flashkicks Fri Nov 05, 2004 9:56 am ----------------------------------- hehe- Tony; I think you might be on to something..lol.. Well- Im sorry if I wasted anyones tiome. Im going to keep trying to work on it cuz I dont want my friend gone. THanks for all the comments and helps and wutnot. Tony- Keep up the great work!! ~Flashkicks PS: Yeah. Our Admin. is not really the smartest one with a computer- well I mean then again- I did see her Install WinZip... And she bought us optical mice..... But yeah- shes a genius!:D :roll: :idea: ----------------------------------- Mazer Fri Nov 05, 2004 1:12 pm ----------------------------------- How do they know that it was your friend who screwed up the computer? Is it just his account that's messed up? If that's the case, why should they care? It's his problem and if they feel like helping him out, the will. Otherwise he screwed himself over, and I really doubt that's something bad enough to expell him over. Have they made any threats? ----------------------------------- Flashkicks Mon Nov 08, 2004 2:29 pm ----------------------------------- Sad thing is it IS that bad- they have made threats. They're werried that others may try it or something; man I dunno- its so stinkin pathetic.. But yeah- I still havent fixed it and it is only on HIS account- they shouldnt be werried but you know teachers; stupid.. Anyhoo- g2g. end of day! BYE! ~Flashkicks ----------------------------------- Hikaru79 Thu Nov 11, 2004 11:13 pm ----------------------------------- I thought winkey + u is shutdown, but nvm I see.

I just realized, tony... how come you never made your avvy's background transparent (or the same as Compsci.ca's background color) so that the ugly white block doesn't show up? Do you just like the effect of the white box or something? :P ----------------------------------- Paul Thu Nov 11, 2004 11:29 pm ----------------------------------- its a statement. :P ----------------------------------- Tony Fri Nov 12, 2004 3:10 am ----------------------------------- and it will remain so untill I get back into arts enough to make me a new one..
