Computer Troubleshooting/Help Master Thread

They are using outdated tech...and you should contact them to update.

(for more detail...it seems that they are using SHOUTcast Server Version 1.9.8, which is very old, and they should update to the newest version of the server that Chrome does support. Here's some discussion around it https://www.internet-radio.com/community/threads/latest-chrome-browser-update-v55-breaks-shoutcast-v1-x-html5-players.27560/)

ETA: It seems that Chrome will (after much backlash by a lot of affected users) re-enable support for this old server technology (which, BTW, Apple's Safari also doesn't support anymore) in Chrome 56 which should be out at the end of the month.  See here there response and a discussion all around it.

Thanks. I'll wait it out this time. ( I definitely remember getting it to work last time. Maybe it was a flash setting? It wasn't in the regular settings I needed to type something in the search bar )

It's the only thing that I've been using Microsoft edge for..

There's a method to bypass it with Group Policy, but I don't see it so important that someone should mess around with these stuff.

When you mention group policy are you referring to the links under chrome://chrome-urls/ ?

You can see the policies set via chrome://policy/ but you cannot set it that way but through the normal GPO process by installing the Chrome GPO template. I'm not sure what you are referring to that you did in the past, but certainly not this because you'd know if you've done it. Probably in the past they used old flash or what and you were able to enable something in the chrome://flags/

If you wanna try doing it now. Follow this guide to install the Chrome policies http://woshub.com/how-to-configure-google-chrome-via-group-policies/ and then enable the policy Enables HTTP/0.9 support on non-default ports

Yup that was it!

Nah, I thought that it would be the same as last time.

The part that I like about it is that you can play it through a few media players, and you have the option of skipping songs that are not (live) streaming.

You can try
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
In command prompt window

Nice!

My wife's laptop died. It had Word 2010 or 2003 on it.

She has tons of Microsoft Word documents (she's a teacher), and when I extracted them from the hard drive to my laptop that has word 2016, all the words on the documents lost all the formatting.

The fonts are all default now, the font sizes, centered, bolded  etc. are all gone.

What can I do?

If I install 2003 or 2010 will it help?

What file extension do they have? .doc? .docx?

Fonts are probably just using the default because the fonts that are used in the documents aren't installed in the new system. First try to install all the fonts that you had in the broken computer into the new one.

The formatting should've stayed the same if it was only the fonts that were missing. Sounds to me like something else.

Wondering if they're actually from OpenOffice or something like that

[pcgeek]

IIRC this is something that Microsoft warns you about when opening a .doc in a newer version in "compatibility mode". No guarantees but it can't hurt to try opening the file in an older version of Office

[lubaby]

Try uploading one of the originals to Google Drive and see if it keeps the original formatting.
