How to Get Around FTP Error: 226In Feburary 2016 30,

In Feburary 2016 30,
Create subfolders for the files and then transfer them. If you are transferring a lot of files (for example, more than 2,000), you may get the 226 error. This is one work-around.
Utilize STFP, instead of FTP, to transfer your files. SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) does not truncate your number of files per folder, as is the case with FTP.
Post your situation to an online forum. There is a virtually unlimited amount of help out there in the form of fellow computer users who may know how to deal more directly with your specific issue. See an example of one online forum in Resources.

How to Create Flash Video AdsIn Feburary 2016 21,

In Feburary 2016 21,
Determine the size of your ad space and set the Stage dimensions of your Flash project file to the matching specifications of your ad. Most online ads fall within the 100-200-pixel range, but this will vary dramatically based on the site where your ad will be placed. Go to 'Modify' and 'Document' and set your project dimensions. Flash also provides templates with multiple sizes often used for ads and can be implemented by selecting the 'Template' option when the 'New File' dialogue window appears.
Add any text or external graphics to your ad, such as a logo or tag line for your business. To use a logo or graphic created outside of Flash, import the file to your Library and drag the graphic onto your Stage in the appropriate location. Go to 'File' and 'Import to Library' and choose your graphic from the dialogue boxes.
Place your video file on your Internet server by uploading the Flash video file to your server using an FTP connection, or File Transfer Protocol. Make note of the exact location of the file to place in Flash during the import video stage.
Import your video onto the Stage to build the core element of your ad. Go to 'File' and 'Import to Stage' and follow the dialogue windows as they locate your video file from your server's URL address and import the movie into Flash. Be sure your movie is in the Flash video format of FLV before embedding the file into the project.
Select the 'skin' for your Flash player from the dialogue window for importing your video. The type of skin you choose will be based on how you want people to interact with your ad. If you would like them to have to play the video on the ad, be sure to choose a skin with a play button. Most online video ads have no controls, so select the no-skin setting to achieve this effect.
Save your project file as an FLA for your archive and future editing. The FLA will not be placed online but will be needed to make any edits or adjustments.
Go to 'File' and 'Publish Settings' and deselect the HTML option. Be sure the Flash option is selected and publish the file. This action will produce the SWF necessary to post your video ad online. Once the SWF is created, it will function as a graphic file and can be added to your website or blog just as you would add a digital image or graphic.

How to Make a Java Game With NetBeansIn Feburary 2016 21,

In Feburary 2016 21,
Download and install the appropriate version of NetBeans for your system. If you are running 64-bit or 32-bit Windows, there are specific versions of the software for both of these operating systems. You will be prompted to set some defaults of the tool. It is best to accept the default values for all of the fields, since not doing so can lead to you being unable to compile your game from within the tool.
Launch NetBeans, then select 'New Java Project' from the file menu. You will be asked to select where you want to save your project. NetBeans projects can be saved anywhere on your hard drive or on a remote network drive. Give it a name that is both descriptive yet simple enough to remember.
Develop or purchase any art assets that you are going to need for your game. Popular illustration tools include Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and the free and open source Inkscape. When developing models for the player characters and any other characters that will be utilized in the game, save them as PNGs, since PNGs have transparent backgrounds by default.
Click on the Java file that NetBeans created for you when you created the project. NetBeans has already generated some code for you, including a main method; in Java, the compiler begins running your code starting with the main method. Since there are so many different types of games that can be written in Java, it is impossible to offer any specific code here, but there is one thing that every game is going to have: an update method. The update method checks what changes have been made in the game world periodically.
Hit F5 to compile your project. Any errors that are found in your game will be displayed in the debugging window at the bottom of your screen. These errors will need to be fixed before you can successfully compile your project.

How to Find Which Fonts Are Missing in PowerPointIn Feburary 2016 19,

In Feburary 2016 19,
Save your presentation on the original computer where you created it. Send it to yourself via email or FTP so that you can access it on the computer that may not have all of the fonts.
Load the presentation on the other computer, preferably where you plan to make or send your presentation. Make sure that the other computer has Microsoft PowerPoint 2004 or later installed so that you can open the file properly.
View the 'Missing Default Fonts' dialog box that appears if some of the fonts don't translate to the new computer. The dialog box lists each font name and informs you that it will replace them with similar fonts. It also gives you the option to take down the names of the missing fonts, then close out of the file and install them onto the other computer system.
Return to your first computer and open the original PowerPoint file with the information about missing fonts in hand. You can replace these missing fonts with more common font types (like Arial or Times New Roman) as another alternative to get the presentation to display correctly on the other computer system.

How to Edit a Website Using Microsoft WordIn Feburary 2016 17,

In Feburary 2016 17,
Download or find the HTML page for each web page of a website you want to edit. You can edit a website one page at a time with Word but you must first have access to the page. If it is on your local computer then you are set. If the page is on a server, you must either FTP the HTML document and its images to your local computer or you can save the page from a web browser. When saving an HTML web page from a browser, just make sure you choose to save it as a web page and not a web archive.
Open Microsoft Word. Go to the File menu and choose Open. Select the HTML file for the web page that you want to edit.
Edit what you see. The way that Word opens the HTML document, it will be similar to what you see in a live web page, except some of the pictures may be missing. You can type directly on the page to change elements such as the text. You can also use the tool bar to do some basic editing, such as bolding items or changing the font size.
Edit links by right clicking on the link and choosing “hyperlink” and then “edit hyperlink.” You can also use the “Insert” menu to add or edit pictures and objects. If you want to change an existing picture, just click on that picture before selecting the “insert” menu.
Click on View and then “HTML source” to see the web page in HTML code. This will let you edit the web page in a much more powerful way, if you know and understand HTML.
Go to the “File” menu and choose “Save as” and then type a name and select “web page” as the file type. It will save the file at whatever location you choose and will also create a folder for any files that go with the page. You can now upload the page and the folder to your web host.

How to Create a Multipage WebsiteIn Feburary 2016 16,

In Feburary 2016 16,
Decide what pages your website should actually have. Starting out with a plan will save plenty of time later. For example, a basic website might consist of three pages: a homepage, an 'About' page, and a photo gallery.
Open a text editor such as Notepad (in Windows) or TextEdit (on a Mac) and create a new file for each page you plan on including. When saving each file, make sure to save them with a '.html' extension, and name your homepage 'index.' So using the above example, you would create three pages: 'index.html,' 'about.html,' and 'gallery.html.'
Think of a domain name ('example.com') to name your site. Come up with something easy to remember, as brief as possible, and spelled correctly.
Sign up for a web hosting plan. Since this is a very basic site, you won't need to pay for anything fancy, and in fact you can get a hosting plan for free from sites such as FreeHostia (see Resources). When signing up, you'll be able to register your domain name, which should cost about $10 for a year.
Log into the hosting control panel that your web host provided you after you signed up. Inside, there should be a 'File Manager' section. Open it, and look for a folder either named 'public_html' or named after your domain. Upload all your HTML files inside it.
Open a new browser window and type in your domain name in the address bar. The page that's automatically displayed will be 'index.html,' and you can reach your other pages by going to example.com/about.html, example.com/gallery.html, and so on.Of course, unless you've added something to each page, they're blank. To actually fill your pages with content, you'll need to write some HTML code, which is the basic language of the web and very easy to learn (see Resources for free HTML tutorials).

Why Do I Have so Many Iexplore.exe Running?In Feburary 2016 13,

In Feburary 2016 13,
Iexplore.exe is a process associated with Microsoft Internet Explorer, the Web browser created by Microsoft. If you open the Windows Task Manager, by pressing 'Ctrl,' 'Shift' and 'Escape,' you may notice several instances of iexplore.exe running. This is most likely because you have several Microsoft Internet Explorer windows open at the same time. Each time you open a Microsoft Internet Explorer window, a corresponding iexplore.exe process runs. When you close the window, the iexplore.exe process stops.
Virus?
Some viruses install an iexplore.exe file that may appear in the Windows Task Manager as an iexplore.exe process. Viruses install files with the same name as legitimate Windows files in an effort to remain undetected. To determine whether an instance of iexplore.exe belongs to a virus, open the Windows Task Manager and click the 'General' tab. Click 'Show Processes From All Users' and 'Image Name.' A list of all running processes appears in alphabetical order under the 'Image Name' heading. Right-click the first instance of 'iexplore.exe' and select 'Properties.' Click the 'General' tab. Next to 'Location,' it should say 'C:\Windows\System32.' If it does not, the instance of iexplore.exe likely belongs to a virus. Do this for all of the instances of iexplore.exe running.
Warnings
If there are multiple instances of iexplore.exe running and you do not have any Internet Explorer windows open, do not assume that the iexplore.exe processes belong to a virus. Some viruses launch the legitimate iexplore.exe process in an effort to connect to the Internet. Thus, you should still check to see whether the process belongs to a virus using the aforementioned method.
Removal
To stop an instance of 'iexplore.exe' that belongs to a virus, open the Windows Task Manager, right-click the 'iexplore.exe' belonging to the virus and select 'End Process.' While this ends the process, it does not remove the virus. Thus, you should run an up to date anti-virus program. Several free anti-virus programs are available online, including Microsoft Security Essentials, Avast! Free Antivirus 6 and AVG Antivirus Free Edition.
