Im guessing that the people that operate the website have added this functionality. Send me a link and i’ll check from my computer but im guessing this is the case.

Typically these checks just ask you for your date of birth to check your over the age of 18 or 21 due to possible adult content.

If the site is not letting you in and you are the correct age. check were the website is hosted. In the US dates are entered MM.DD.YYYY however in the UK dates are entered DD.MM.YYYY this mite by causing your problem.
Also check you have Cookies enabled in your browser as this mite be causing the problem.

I will be able to tell you more with a link to the site in question

Download Knoppix Linux and burn it to a CD. This has a piece of software called Qparted. this will let you resize your current windows partion and create a new one with the space you have freed.

Make sure you create your new partion using either FAT32 or NTFS file systems

BACKUP EVERYTHING FIRST

Create a new user account, see if this account works when you log in and out.
If so copy all your “My Documents”, “Favorites” and “Desktop Items” from “C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME” into the new account. Then delete the old user account.

If you need to get your computer to automaticly logon again “Start” > “Run” and type “Control Userpasswords2″ from here you can set which account will load on computer start up.

However as Neku said I dose sound like you have either a virus or spyware on your computer.

If you use “nero vision express” that was with version 6. Codes the videos files before burning a standard dvd. I have tested these disks with several dvd players.

I have used this many times you simply drag the video files in and it can make a rather rubbish menu for you also.

If you mean the two department will be in two different buildings you can use VPN. VPN allows you to make a private tunnal though the internet, This would mean both buildings would have to have a internet connection.

If you have a large buget you could have a leased line fitted between the two buildings but this would be very expesive.

Im guessing you have a intel graphics card. There is a keybooard command somthing like Ctrl + Alt + Left(as in left arrow key): rotate screen left 90 degrees.

Once you have corrected this you can disable the functionalty in the intel tray icon options.

This same problem happened to my frend down the road.
