    - 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: NEW Spybot defs out.....18-07-07 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!

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? I've already pulled off onto CD My Documents, Favorites, Outlook Address Book, Sent and Inbox email, etc, in case the ones on the hard drive are deleted or damaged.

    - gotta say.. so long ME I'm am almost dissapointed to do this, afterall, ME has been a fine performer eversince I discovered this ng and other ME forums on the 'net to help me tame ME enough to be able to believe that I would never need to move to XP, ...but recently, I've been very disappointed in ME's performance and reliability eversince I changed my video card to a newer and "better" one (worked ok for a while - it only caused a problem with Shutdown), and eversince I upped the ram from 256 to 768. The various tweaks to fool ME to limit it to 512 or LESS is not working. I am actually running out of resources sooner! Very annoying. The whole idea of adding more ram was to be able to use it. There was a modest speed boost in screen rendering, and application loading with the extra ram, but I still can't seem to have more apps open at the same time which I need. So.. I'm moving on to Ubuntu. The winapps that I absolutely need will be hosted on my XP'd Thinkpad. ME first came into my life when I purchased a new 1gHz, AGP 2x 64meg, 256meg ram, 40gig box in year 2000. The first upgrade it ever needed was a critical one - a new 120gig hdd. About 3 years into its life ME had started to insist on Scandisk at every boot (even after successful scandisk and Shutdown), plus the 40gig drive produced strange intermittent clunking noises. The new 120gig hdd solved that problem. But interestingly.. that same 40gig hdd is now parked into a "spare" 500mHz 256meg ram pc, loaded with Ubuntu, and there are NO problems. We've probably all been hanging on to ME because we're adamant to not dish out more $'s to MS. If your needs for faster processor, more ram, and new programs do not exist, then ME should serve you well. I really really really wanted to believe that ME would serve me well for the rest of my days with modest upgrades as required. Afterall, I upgraded the original box with USB 2.0 and even replaced the original NIC. ME continued to perform well. But all I really wanted was to be able to load atleast 3 apps in memory (Wordperfect, my browser, and WindowsExplorer as I navigated through files over my network). Suddenly, Explorer.exe would close and fail to reload the Taskbar apps! The only solution was to reboot. Very time consuming and frustrating. Then when I learned that ME is theoretically limited to 512meg ram and that the only way to use more ram is to trick ME to think there is LESS, that disappointed me. Under those conditions it's better to get a new OS that can handle that. And.. I really don't want to spend more $'s on a new box when I've already invested in a fine 120gig hdd, USB 2.0 expansion, 768meg total ram, and a better (DVI-capable) video card. My appreciation and many thanks go out to all the fine folks who helped me with my ME questions over the years. I enjoyed helping the few people with my insights too when I could. ..Ogg.
