How to clip a video directly in a browser? in IT Support ·
There are several YouTube videos out there that run over two hours long. I need to pull just a tiny snippet—about three minutes—from each one, but I really don't want to deal with the hassle of downloading massive files just to trim them down in an editor.
I know for a fact I stumbled upon a tool online last year that handled this perfectly.
You basically just paste the URL, specify the exact timestamps for the start and end points, and it downloads only that specific segment:
The problem is, I can't for the life of me remember the website address.
Does anyone happen to know a site that does this?

I get what those sentences mean, but I'm still not sure how to actually apply them to my work.
If anyone could clarify the practical side of things, I’d really appreciate it.
Smartwatches? in IT Support ·
I’m a bit confused by this list:

4. remote camera
6. support call recording push
9. the phone book push.
10. Sensor: 3D acceleration sensor
11. Motor: Support
12. Speaker: Support (single)
13. Microphones: Support (single)


Could someone clarify what these specific points actually mean? Please.
Smartwatches? in IT Support ·
I checked out some smartwatches here for the first time today, and I’m still trying to wrap my head around them. They seem to have plenty of features, but I need some clarification on what these actually mean in practice:

Core Functions:
1. Altimeter
2. Pedometer,
3. Sleep tracking,
4. Remote camera shutter,
5. Bluetooth music control,
6. Call recording notifications,
7. Bluetooth anti-lost alert,
8. Bluetooth calling,
9. Contact list syncing.
10. Sensor: 3D accelerometer
11. Motor: Support
12. Speaker: Support (single)
13. Microphones : Support ( single)
My computer is painfully slow? in IT Support ·
I will look into all of those options.
Thanks

Kimberly Gomez34 said:Make sure you grab those chipset drivers too.

I already installed both chipset drivers, but it didn't make a difference.
It's a real shame because I'll likely have to revert to Windows 7 (which is painfully slow), whereas this Windows XP setup is lightning fast right now; everything opens instantly.
Here is what I'm seeing in the Device Manager (I don't think that yellow warning on the modem matters; it's probably just the built-in fax modem)

I went ahead and installed all three wireless drivers, but I'm still getting nowhere.
When I pull up the "view all networks" list, this is what shows up:

My computer is painfully slow? in IT Support ·
I just finished installing Windows XP along with all the drivers, including audio, graphics, and wireless.
The computer feels incredibly fast, but I can't seem to get online.
I am certain I entered the correct password, yet it won't connect to the wireless network.
In my system tray, two icons have appeared; the one looking like a monitor keeps spinning indefinitely without establishing a connection.
Underneath the first icon (the small monitor), it displays:
WIRELESS NETWORK CONNECTION: (Router Brand Name)
SPEED: 54 Mbps
SIGNAL: excellent
STATUS: Acquiring network address


Under the second icon, it says:
SSID: (Router Brand Name)
SPEED: 54 Mbps
SIGNAL: excellent
STATUS: authenticating
ADDRESS: 0.0.0.0.


Does anyone know what might be causing this issue?

Larry Ortiz5 said:Yeah, I’d definitely recommend formatting the hard drive and just doing a fresh install of Windows XP. Honestly, this is such an old laptop with pretty weak specs—it's really starting to show its age. The only real catch is that XP is officially end-of-life now, so there’s no more official support from Microsoft. That makes the OS pretty vulnerable since, as I mentioned before, you aren't getting any Windows updates or those critical security patches. I mean, if your brother is just using it to check emails or hop into Word, then go ahead and install XP—I don't think anything too crazy will happen in that scenario.

p.s. Did you mention to your brother that he should try optimizing the laptop a bit? He could clear out all those random programs he doesn't actually use, or maybe disable Aero and those other visual effects in Windows 7 that just eat up memory. Also, tell him to uninstall Avast and grab Microsoft Security instead—it's a much lighter antivirus option.

If you do decide to pull the trigger on XP, you can find all the drivers on the manufacturer's official support site. Good luck!

http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/...n-1501/drivers

I am looking through the drivers on that page, and I would rather not download anything I don't actually need.
I only need the ones for my Wireless, audio, and graphics, but it isn't clear which specific driver is for the wireless among these options:

Dell Inspiron 1501 Wifi Card Driver
Wireless LAN Card Driver Windows Vista(32/64)/XP

Dell Inspiron 1501 Wifi Driver
Wireless 1395 WLAN MiniCard Driver

Dell Inspiron 1501 Ethernet Driver
Broadcom 4401/B0 Ethernet Drivers

My brother just dropped off his laptop, and I’m about to get Windows XP installed on it.
Since the RAM is pretty low—around 800 MB—I want to set him up with a free antivirus that won't hog all the system resources. If I remember correctly, someone on a forum mentioned an excellent free option that stays lightweight and doesn't constantly nag you with pop-up windows.
It was called "McAfee," which would be perfect for my brother; he's a bit older and isn't exactly tech-savvy.

Is that accurate, or is there a better antivirus out there for a machine with these specific specs?

It’s probably best if I go ahead and install Windows XP now that you've sent over the link for those drivers.
My computer is painfully slow? in IT Support ·
That’s exactly what I was thinking. I could easily handle the installation for him, but there is one major hurdle.
He hasn't backed up any of his drivers—no network, graphics, or audio drivers. Plus, from what I understand, Microsoft ended official support for Windows XP quite a while ago, which might make finding compatible software difficult.
If he could just track down those drivers, it would be perfect. I'd get Windows XP installed immediately, and his computer would be running like a lightning bolt.

My brother bought a “Dell Inspiron 1501” about three years ago running Windows XP. (Mobile DualCore AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-50, 1600 MHz --- 896 MB (DDR2 SDRAM))
He lives on a small island, isn't particularly tech-savvy, and works in the tourism industry. He uses his computer strictly for sending and receiving emails, printing documents, and occasionally using Word to keep track of guest records. That's it.
About a year ago, a neighbor installed Windows 7 and Norton on it. Since then, my brother has been complaining that everything runs incredibly slowly.
When I visited him to check things out, I noticed the following:
1 - Booting up Windows takes an eternity.
2 - Once Windows finally loads and I launch the Chrome browser, the antivirus (Norton) icon just spins endlessly in the systray; it takes nearly two minutes before the browser actually opens.
3 - After the browser finally opens and I try to check email (Hotmail), Norton starts spinning again, making the loading process feel endless.
4 - Once the email is open and I click print, there is another 2-3 minute delay before the print window even appears.
5 - Launching Word also takes forever.

As a layman, I assume the reasons are:
1- The memory is too low for Windows 7.
2- The Norton protection settings are too heavy for this machine.
Am I correct, or is there another underlying cause?
How to automatically download YouTube videos in IT Support ·
I am looking for a program that can automatically grab all YouTube URLs directly from my clipboard. Ideally, the moment I copy a link while browsing YouTube, it should instantly add it to a download queue. Doing this manually via copy and paste is incredibly tedious.
I have already tested several options: Youtube downloader hd, free youtube downloader, freemake video converter among others, but none of them offer this specific automation.
Does anyone know of a tool that actually does this?
