I have created a string of GIF animations that I would like to join together. I've used free online software so far, but I don't know of any free programs that allow you to join multiple GIFs. Each of the GIFs that I have created have different timing speeds, so I don't want to upload them to a website that will force one timing speed on all of them. Suggestions are welcome. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 01:45, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
convert *.gif w00tpie.gif
¦ Reisio (talk) 12:31, 14 May 2012 (UTC)That ImageMagick code is way too advanced for me. I just started making GIFs with free online stuff. I doubt I will ever get involved in it enough to learn code. Thank you all for the suggestions so far. I ended up downloading a 15 day trial of a GIF editing program. It has worked pretty well. Here is what I came up with (I'll make a second part later). It's based on a silly picture I drew a few years ago. I hope that I can figure out how to scale all of the images to a single sized window at some point. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 04:54, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
Windows folders with names like: C:\3a8039561e532edd33c74b are temporary and can be deleted, right? I have one but when I try to delete it, it says that I can't because it is shared with someone else. I am the only user on this computer, so how can I be sharing it? (I do have a second user account on it.) Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 02:50, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
Some days earlier I asked if the file autorun.inf is executable by itself, and the answer is no because computer will only check it when a CD or USB is opened. Is there a chance that something being run when the autorun.inf is checked? Because the content of my autorun.inf look like something in a dll file, and is it possible to have any influence on the system running?--Noname67097 (talk) 06:12, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
It is got 86 KB in size and I am doubting if it just functions like an lnk file--Noname67097 (talk) 08:00, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
In Windows 7, I was messing around and lost the IE icon from my task bar and desktop. It is not in the start menu either. I tried downloading it, but that didn't work.
Is is still on my computer because I can enter ie.exe at the search and it comes up. But I cannot apply windows updates either (they fail). I did a system restore and got the icon back to the task menu. Then I unpinned it, thinking that would get it to the desktop, but it went away. I tried the system restore again, but then all of the networking and access to the internet went away. I restored to a different restore point and got networking and the internet back, but IE is gone from the task bar, desktop, and start menu (although the command still works),but updates don't work.
How can I get IE and updates back to normal? Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 06:41, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
Can a page admin delete(remove) the owner from the page..... AND TAKE OVER THE PAGE COMPLETELY.... 115.117.245.205 (talk) 07:11, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
Recently I have just heard about the Mac virus that disguises itself as an Adobe Flash Player Updater. I use Windows and updated my Adobe Flash Player for several times. How can I know if it is a true update or not (and also some Trojan disguises as Windows upgrade)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noname67097 (talk • contribs) 08:06, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
Morning! Idiot question here.
I had a nice set up in my monobook whatsit where I had a good script for adding refs, where I could add the URL and the rest of it would self-populate. A while ago it stopped working, and now when I added a new link to AfC categories in my toolbox list it's now stopped working altogether. Can someone who knows about computers fix it for me?

So, I have this issue. This happens about once a day on average...I lose the ability to make new Internet connections. If I have Skype or Team Fortress running, they'll keep going without a hitch, but if I try to access a new web page, or sign into another online program, or play a different game, I won't be able to. I have to reset the router...which fixes the problem. But I shouldn't have to do that daily, right?
My uncle thinks it's an issue with my router. A classmate thinks it's a DNS issue and I should switch to OpenDNS (about which I know nothing). Would anyone here be able to shed some more light on the issue, or my options? Thanks in advance. 90.193.232.159 (talk) 18:24, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
Question to follow:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<body>
<div style="width: 220px; height:300px; float:right;"> </div>
<fieldset style="background:black;"> </fieldset>
<div style="background:black;"> </div>
</body>
</html>
Why do all major browsers apply different widths to the fieldset and the second div? Or rather, how can I make that div the same width as the fieldset that precedes it (without wrapping it in one and preferably without relying on the fact that the width of the right hand column - 220px - is a known figure)? The same effect occurs even if I copy styles such that the only "computed style" difference Firebug reports is width. Thanks, - Jarry1250 [Deliberation needed] 20:44, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure if I should be asking this in this forum or another one but here goes: If I text someone they can see my phone number. My question is: can a scammer hack my cell phone number based on recieving a text from me? 99.250.103.117 (talk) 20:49, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
Sorry. I should have been clearer. What I am asking is if I text someone and they then can see my cell number, can they then send texts and/or make phone calls using my cell number via their own phone? 99.250.103.117 (talk) 22:08, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
Thanks, everyone. As usual, Wikipedia is the place to go! 99.250.103.117 (talk) 01:51, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
I've been having some networking problems. I'm on a Windows 7 (W7) computer, with two W7 computer on the network. One I can't access now. The other one has two internal hard drives, and I can access both of them. I moved a printer and an external HD to that computer. The printer can be accessed fine. The external HD cannot - it says "Windows cannot access ... you do not have permission ...". When I click on that computer in Network, all of the drives are shown, but only the external one gives that message.
The external HD has exactly the same sharing options as the two internal HDs that work. I checked the general sharing options, network detection, etc, and they seem right too. Why wouldn't the external HD be shared properly? Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 23:30, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
