I've had pretty good luck finding anime songs with WinMX. If you use it, I would strongly recommend signing up for a P2P account with Anime Fantasia - http://www.animefantasia.com/ - because they give good results. I did find "Touch and Go" and "Watashi no Aozora" listed. I've also used Kazaa a coup...

I'll see if and when the show is airing in Canada. I wanna see the show for myself. It airs on YTV Friday nights at 11 and 11:30 PM (Mountain). I think the same two episodes repeat a few hours later, but I'm not totally sure. YTV is still only airing the first two seasons, from I heard earlier. Thi...

I thought it was a very good movie. Granted, I'm not big on politics (Canadian, American or otherwise), and I do also realize how everything was portraying Bush in the worst possible light. Even so, the evidence shown really makes you think. And that's the whole point - to make people think about wh...

It doesn't matter if u reboot ur PC unless you have loads of files that are big and you want to keep. I have done it a couple of times because of viruses, etc. But eventually i did download an anti-virus program. You also have to re-install every program you've installed since you got your computer...

This sounds like a bandwith issue. Make sure that you are not downloading anything or using programs that use high amounts of bandwith. This happens to me alot when I am using bit torrent and such. You may even want to check to see if there is anything wrong with your network card. If not, then thi...

Before formatting your computer + reloading everything, there are a few things you should check out. 1) Run your anti-virus program. This could be caused by a virus. 2) Try running an adware-scanner program, like AdAware (by Lavasoft) or Spybot, or something like that. Adware and spyware can interfe...

Interesting thing ... if anyone actually scrolled to the bottom, you'd see a "Terms of Service" thing.

I actually got to vote in the election - first time for a national election. It's really not very exciting. Unfold a piece of paper, and put a big 'X' beside the person you want to vote for. Anyway, I was pulling for the new Conservatives, but I figured it would be a Liberal win. It was just a matte...

I've seen up to #10 of this one. It's not an absolute must-see, but it's a nice series.

Also, I think it's animated by the same people who did Ultra Maniac, which I also liked.

My guess would be that everyone on the computer has administrator access, and for some reason whenever a background is changed it's changing everyone's background. Is this just a recent problem, or has it been going on for some time? Also, were there any changes to the User accounts or profiles (or ...

It would be nice if we had distinct seasons around here, but we really don't. The Rockies mess with Pacific Ocean air masses which interact with arctic air masses and northern-American air masses. (Weather forecasts can change 5 or 6 times a day - if not more often than that). Winter is by far my le...

I just heard about this yesterday - it will be interesting to see how this show fares once it gets translated. I imagine they'll have to rework the songs. The thing is, as the series progresses, they have more songs. I've seen up to 20 (I have 3 others to watch), and if you include the OP and ED, th...

I just did a quick search, and came across this site: http://fxvideoconverter.com/ It seems to do the job you want - I've never tried it, so I have no idea how good or bad it is.

You're welcome. I'm glad it worked out. After you described the problems, it became more apparent that the problem was some weirdness with the .smil file, and not RealPlayer or the other two files.

The problem is almost certainly not with RealPlayer, from what I'm gathering. You can actually open the .smil file in Notepad. (Open Notepad, select File -> Open, change the "Files of Type" to "All Files", and click on the .smil file). My file looks like this: <smil> <head> <layout type="text/smil-b...

Take a look at http://service.real.com/help/errors/error14.html Basically, I think the only point that applies is the final one - you might have to download the newest RealPlayer. I doubt the problem is with the files themselves. The error message would seem to indicate that your version of RealPlay...

I've used a fair number of file-sharing related programs, as well as stuff before P2P programs.

In fact, i-drive is how I got 99% of SM Classic, SMR and Stars (back in ... ...
