    - Display driver for Windows NT Hi. I tried to make a fresh installation of Windows NT. Unfortunately, after doing so, I realized that the display was really bad, in only 16 colors and 640x480 resolution. I have no idea how to improve this, and I have no CDs that were originally packaged with the computer because it is a very old PC. Can someone help me with this, please?

    - Questions on anti-virus programs Hello everyone: After 2 years on being on dial up, I Just switched to high speed MSN with DSL. The package came with McAfee AV & Firewall. After installing *McAfee AV* I noticed a complete slowdown in my computer. Had to remove it. (Did not install the firewall). My questions are: 1) Am I right in just trusting Avast4 as an AV? I haven't had any problems while on dial up & none in the few days with DSL. 2) Are there any other AV programs someone may recommend that are not "hogs" in using computer resources? (I know Norton is "out"!!). 3) I'm also using CCleaner, Spywareblaster, Spybot Search & Destroy, & Ad-Aware SE Personal. Shouldn't all of these be enough? Running Windows ME , IE 6 SP1 on Broadband MSN DSL. Thanks, Ed Tag: Ad-Aware update 7/23 Tag: 290685

    - Adaware update I got an Adaware update a few minutes ago. The detection number is 88151. There is a program update that I did not download because it is a GUI change for Adwatch, which is only available on the Plus and Pro versions.

    - Sudden Abnormal mouse erratic behaviour My computer, running WinXP Pro with 128 MB RAM, today has started acting very strange. Although normally it has to be double-clicked to open a file or folder, now it sometimes opens files/folders/e-mail with only one mouse click, not two. However, it is very inconsistent, sometimes requiring two clicks as normal, but sometimes requiring only one click. Another symptom is that when a window is open, while browing the web, the scroll bar on the right is very herky-jerky, but sometimes not - again being inconsistent. Both these problems occur pretty often - enough to be very annoying. Another symptom is that it when I try to capture text by holding down the mouse right-click button, it sometimes captures the text, but sometimes refuses to, or will capture only a a small part of the text. This occurs on web pages, but is even worse trying to capture text in this message I'm typing right now. Also, when I click and hold on the to blue line of a window, such as this message I'm now typing, in order to move the non-maximized window, often instead of moving the window it'll open it completely. Also, when the cursor is placed at the edge of a non-maximized window to re- size it, it often will not re-size it. If I try repeatedly, sooner or later it will. I use latest AVG AntiVirus and update it at least daily, and did an entire system/computer scan, but am virus-free. I ran spy bot search and destroy, anti adware, pest control tools, anti spyware, anti rootkits, and also tried changing various mouse options but the problem is still happening. Can anyone please shed some light on what is happening, and a fix for it? Am not very technical, so please be specific. Thanks in advance, very much... Tag: Ad-Aware update 7/23 Tag: 290667

    - Using USB Intelligent Stick with laptop (Windows ME) I'm not sure what the problem is but I've been trying to transfer an Access database to my Windows ME laptop from my desktop using a GE Intelligent Stick USB device. I have Office 2000 installed on the laptop so it has Access 2000 on the laptop. So why can't I open the database when I try to? I keep getting the message 'c:\ohiotraders_be.mdb' is not a valid path, etc. I've tried opening it from the E drive (the external device) and also from the C drive, where I've saved it. Maybe someone will have an answer for this. I want to be able to take this database on the road with me. Tag: Ad-Aware update 7/23 Tag: 290610

    - Snapped from the Ethernet any comments? As with all Windows versions, the "multi-user" capabilities are complete > shit. And security is complete shit, as always. Since everyone is a fucking > super user, everyone has access to everything on anyone's space. Oh, except > some applications, which can't run in one user if they are already running > in another user's space. > And power management sucks. Monitors never turn off, the system never goes > to sleep seemingly no matter what the setting is. > And a relatively minor but annoying inability to change the desktop on a > second monitor. Maybe there is a 3rd party app somewhere that can do this. Tag: Ad-Aware update 7/23 Tag: 290519

    - How to open downlaoded files? Options To open a downloaded file: 1. Follow any instructions the file provider has given to place the downloaded file or files in a specific folder on your computer. If your file or files are already in this specific folder, skip to step 2. If you did not receive instructions about placing the downloaded file or files in a specific folder, create a new folder on the desktop, and then copy the files into this folder: a. Right-click the desktop, point to New, and then click Folder. b. Type downloaded_files, and then press ENTER. c. Copy the file or files to this new folder. To copy a file, right-click it, click Copy, right-click the destination folder, and then click Paste. After you copy the file or files to the downloaded_files folder, verify that all the files were successfully copied. After you verify that all the files were copied, you can delete the original copies of the files. 2. Open the folder that contains the file or files (or the downloaded_files folder), and then double-click the file you want to open. If you have a program installed on your computer that is capable of opening the file, when you double-click the file, the file should open in the appropriate program. For example, if you double-click a document (.doc) file and Microsoft Word for Windows (any version) is installed on your computer, the file should open in Word. If you do not have a program that is capable of opening the file, you receive an "Open With" dialog box that prompts you to select a program to open the file with. If you receive this prompt, it indicates you do not have a program that is capable of opening the file, and you should obtain and install a program for this purpose. For information about which program to install, the provider of the file should be able to confirm which program is needed to open their file. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tag: Ad-Aware update 7/23 Tag: 290506

    - Unauthorized credit card use Quite recently I was alerted by my credit card company that there appeared to be several unusual charges on my account (for which I thanked them profusely). My wife and I have our identically-numbered cards in our possession, so I knew they hadn't been lost. I know well that when one hands his card to a server in a restaurant, for example, one temporarily loses all control over any security he may have had, and that's a definite possibility. I also know that there are keylogger programs that may exist on my computer (although I don't know how they might have got there). My suspicion was raised a notch when Alwil's avast! antivirus program detected a Trojan horse yesterday. (I regret that I immediately deleted the Trojan and cannot, therefore, provide any information about it.) Can a Trojan horse be responsible for this? Does it sound at all like a keylogger problem? And lastly, if so, does anyone have a recommendation for keylogger detection and removal? TIA.

    - Ad-aware Well, it's been weeks now. I've e-mailed them twice asking how I'm supposed to acquire my copy of Ad-aware Plus as per my 2000 purchase that included lifetime updates. I've had initial acknowledgment of both e-mails but no further response. I shall henceforth consider Lavasoft to have become a new Symantec - their products don't work and they don't give a puck about their customers. I shall assume they have decided lifetime updates promised in the early days was a mistake. I expect that in court they will try to argue that Ad-aware 2007 is a different product - and, indeed, that that is why they named it so! I shall spread the word that they - like Symantec - are not the sort of company it's wise to trust your valuables with! Of course, it doesn't seem to hurt Symantec - which is what the cynical puckers will be counting on. Like with NAV and NIS there're always plenty of mugs who will argue that it's the best product on the market! Plenty of customers for the medicine show! Shane Tag: Ad-Aware update 7/23 Tag: 290356

My computer is not even showing an IP address now and I'm stuck. I have to have this thing going and can't presently afford a new one. Any suggestions? Tag: Ad-Aware update 7/23 Tag: 290340

    - !0 Minutes Internet Stops A friend, still running WinME, has suddenly experienced a stoppage of his internet connection after ~10 minutes. The computer does not freeze up, still able to run applications. In order to regain internet connection, must reboot. Suspiciously like an overheating CPU, we swapped over his components into another functionally similar computer. Surprise! Surprise! Same problem. Then we swapped his USB-LAN adapter for a PCI LAN card. Same problem. He's run all his housekeeping utilities, Ad-Aware, SpyBot, Registray mechanic, et al....., but problem persists. Suggestions?

    - Fastest Stable MOBO with certified Win ME drivers? Fastest Stable MOBO with certified Win ME drivers? What's the ideal fastest main board (MOBO) for Win ME? With ME certified drivers available? Stable? Do any makers of new main boards still make ME certified drivers available for them? Win ME has a 137 Gig Hard Disk Drive size limit I saw somewhere. Is that physical max, partition max, or total max? If I get a new MOBO with an EIDE and 4 SATA ports would Win ME limit me to 4 or 6 137 Gig hardware drives, a bunch of 137 Gig partitions on a much bigger physical drive, or is the limit 137 Gig total for all hard disk drives?

    - need help with win xp repair install I've been working on our church office pc, and am going to need to do a WinXP repair install. I haven't done a clean or repair Windows install, so am trying to anticpate potential glitches with the repair. Some questions: A. Will some of our peripheral programs survive the Windows repair (I assume the repair simply overwrites all the Windows files/programs in the OEM CD)? Maybe those that don't have any registry or shared file tie with Windows may be OK. B. Will our data files survive the repair install?
