I am setting up a Sdn Bhd with a family member ; the business will be run by me alone. Do I claim a monthly salary with the EPF deductions just like any employee or am I entitled just to a Director's Fee? Or both, maybe?

Missing browser

hmckl — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 09:42:09 +0800

Need help from sifus here. Recently my browser ie IE7 just shuts itself off whenever I try to use it, but defnitely I am online as I can access sites thru Windows Media Player & Outlook. Furthermore this only occurs to me, and not the other user on the PC. (ie now I have to switch user whenever I need to go online).
What's wrong? Is it virus?
How does one 'get' a browser when there's none to start with?

hmckl — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 16:01:58 +0800

I just got a Nokia 6300. Being a novice, can someone please tell me what I have to do to ensure that all my downloads (eg from Bluetooth transfers) are saved into the memory card instead of the phone memory? Otherwise my phone memory get filled up very fast. Thanks.

Long battery life

hmckl — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 18:43:53 +0800

Planning to get a basic set (inc. basic camera, even VGA will do and radio) without any 'frills'(memory card etc). But most importantly, something that can last >5 days on standby. Similiar to Nokia 1100 but a bit more 'chun' (colour, polyphonic).
I know there's the LG KP133 which is said to last for up to a month on stdby but I just don't like the look of the keypad (alternating black-gray colours) ; are all its' Zithron set like that? Or can the cover be changed?

Tks.

Quicktime files

hmckl — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 01:06:10 +0800

I received Olympus camera-taken movie clips via email and the file is supposedly a .mov file (with the logo on it even) but I am unable to open it with my just downloaded quicktime. So i even tried the "quicktime alternative" listed in the coded topic here but still cannot work. I got the message "this is not a file that quicktime recognises" and "failed to render file" when using these programs respectively. Why is this happening? (By the way, how do I know if the files are corrupted?). For your info,I had use the same program to open old .mov files and they worked fine.
