Re: Islamica's Official Tech Service.
how much space do you have on your computer? What i did was i got an external drive and had my computer create backups onto it weekly. A cd is okay as well, but they tend to get lost very easily. If you think you can keep track of a cd and are okay with manually backing up each time then go for it, otherwise pick up a 250 gig external drive (60$) and set up a windows task to have your computer backup whenever you'd like.
Wassalaam

Re: Islamica's Official Tech Service.
Err, how do I check how much space I have on my computer? 
I think the 250 gig external drive thing sounds good, I'll pick it up next time I visit the computer store.
Jazakallah khair though for the help.

Re: Islamica's Official Tech Service.
lol to check your space go to my computer and right click on your C drive and choose properties. It should show you how much space you have free as well as how much is being used.
They have some really expensive 250 gig drives as well so shop carefully otherwise you'll pay more than what you wanted to. I got mine on sale for like 59.99 @ bestbuy, but now it's like 90-100$.

Assalam Alaykum,
I still have 54.2 gb left. And I've used up 30.5 gb.
Yeah, I just need to store all the files I have on my laptop and backup everything. Some of those lectures/PDF files and others took months downloading and the thought of loosing all of it gave me a scare. 60$ should be around 220 dhs over here, I think. Will keep the price thing in mind.
I should've backed up ages ago. This is the first time a virus infected my system.

Re: Islamica's Official Tech Service.
Okay, My sound control icon doesn't appear in my taskbar anymore. It would before, but it doesnt anymore.
In the middle I tried this new download thing, make the startbar menu to look like Windows Vista. After I removed it, the sound control icon disappeared from my taskbar. Not sure if it was because of that though.
I've even gone to the control panel and checked the box which says 'Place volume icon in task bar', but it doesn't work. My Windows is XP.

Which vista transformation pack did you use and where in control panel did you check that option off?
Did you try to system restore back to before you installed that transformation pack?

My sound icon wasn't showing in the taskbar either, so I did the following and it appeared again. Go to the control panel and untick the 'Place volume icon in the taskbar' box. Then click on 'Apply'. Now tick the same box once again and click on 'Apply'. The icon should appear again. |

Re: Islamica's Official Tech Service.
bytheway, although the above method worked for me, I don't know if the sound icon disappears again after a reboot, because I havn't restarted my PC yet after the change.

Re: Islamica's Official Tech Service.
Jazaumallahu khairan, Rida and Ameen. I tried Ameens method and it worked, I'm hoping it is still there when I reboot though insha'Allah.

Try emptying your temporary internet files. Tools -> Options and go on from there. |
