Windows multiplied My 9 year old son has caused me a problem. He admits to getting into control panel, windows config and who know what else. My opening windows 98 screen is now divided into 3. Left, center and right with equal blank spaces in between. 3 cursor arrows, 3 start buttons, 3 sets of equal sized icons etc. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, other than keeping the boy away from the computer in the future. haha Thanks.

Thanks unclejed but it's not the size of the icons that are the problem but that there are 3 of everything, icons, task bar, cursor etc. Not overlapping but equally divided and spaced on the monitor screen. Left, right and center. Any other thoughts? Anyone?

What your son did is change the video resolution on your video card. right click on a blank area of your desktop, this will bring up a popup menu, left click on the word "properties" in the menu. this will bring up your display settings window. click on the "settings" tab. this is where the video resolution and color parameters are set. under screen resolution, there is a slider. move the slider to the left until the resolution is either 800x600 or 1024x768, then click "apply". this will get you back to a screen resolution that most monitors are happy with. if you had a higher resolution setting before, follow the same process to increase the resolution. also there is an option that allows you to test the resolution setting, and if it doesn't work, returns windows to it's previous setting. i recommend you use that option.

I forgot a password and i cant access a catalyst 2960 24-port 10/10

You can only reset password this way:
1.
Attach a terminal or PC with terminal emulation (for example, Hyper Terminal) to the console port of the switch.
Use the following terminal settings:

Bits per second (baud): 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow Control: Xon/Xoff

2.Unplug the power cable.
3. Hold down the mode button located on the left side of the front panel, while you reconnect the power cable to the switch
4. Release the Mode button when the SYST LED blinks amber and then turns solid green. When you release the Mode button, the SYST LED blinks green.
5. switch: flash_init
6. switch: load_helper
7. switch: dir flash:
8. switch: rename flash:config.text flash:config.old
Rename config.text to config.old. In that file the password is stored.
9. switch: boot
10. Enter "n" at the prompt to abort the initial configuration dialog
11. Type en to enable
12. Switch#rename flash:config.old flash:config.text
13. Switch#copy flash:config.text system:running-config
14. Overwrite the current passwords:
conf term
enable secret <new pass>
enable password <new pass>
line vty 0 15
password <new pass>
login
line con 0
password <new pass>

15. write memory
16. copy run start

"quadratic function" diophantus , a greek

Let x be Diophantus' age when he died.

His son died 4 years before Diophantus (so Diophantus was then x-4 years old). His son lived half as long as Diophantus so when he (son) died he was x/2.
Diophantus' son was born when Diophantus was (x-4)-x/2 years old. That was 5 years after his marriage so when Diophantus married he was (x-4)-x/2-5 years old. We also know that 1/6 of his life was spent in childhood, 1/12 in youth and 1/7 as bachelor so (x-4)-x/2-5=(1/6+1/12+1/7)x.
Now you solve last equation:

x-4-x/2-5=11/28x
x/2-11/28x=4+5
3/28x=9
x=9*28/3=84 years

Diophantus was 84 years old when he died.

We have a fridge freezer Samsung about 10 years old. The fridge temperature will not go below 9 degrees C. When you press the control panel on the front, the figure goes down to a lowere temperature but...

The control pad is operating normally. The temperature is about 9 degrees off, that may be due to dirty coils. check them and clean them with a brush. This should make it run more efficiently. If that doesn't do the trick let me know and we can go from there. But being ten years old I'm pretty sure it needs a coil cleaning anyway.

At 9 years old he's too young. Granted you could work around that by signing him up under your name, but then your subjecting him to the dangers of the online world were everyone doesn't play fair. BE VERY CAUTIOUS.

Boot it up without a controller plugged in. It soulnd like the Controller is doing this to you instead of the Console. If that is not the case , then you have a problem with the Controller port. Going to Config screen is controller controlled function. Only a controller can bring it out. So its one or the other. Controller , or Port. Post another comment and let me know.
