This only happens if I leave the computer on for a while... so Explorer.exe starts off using about 18Kbyte of memory (~15Kbyte of virtual memory) then it shoots all the way up to about 55Kbyte of memory, while using about 70-80Kbyte of virtual memory. I've scanned the computer for virus (I'm...

So, I've had a windows network of 2 computers at home for a while, that I could access via view workgroup, etc method. But after installing symante client security 2.0, I'm not able to do that anymore. Even the access by IP would not work. However, when I disable the symantec firewall, I can...

does anyone know how to do this? I'm using gaim, and control + tab key is used by the virtual desktop, which I do not intend to use... if anyone knows how to disable / get rid of this, please tell me :) On another note, I was wondering why running gaim & in the prompt will not run gaim, even...

is there any way to resize the windows xp boot partition to install linux on it? I dont really feel like a format->fresh install cuz I just got that laptop... :/

Yeah.. so I have figured out that if I block NetBIOS stuff in symantec, I'm unable to use the windows networking. But I also know that I removed taht protocol from the network connections thing, and that I have disabled NetBIOS Over TCP/IP service... So why does enableing NetBIOS stuff (NetBIOS...

I can no longer access my local windows network! I have figured out that it is the firewall component that is causing this problem (since the network access works when I disable the firewall), but I have no idea how to configure this firewall to allow me to access the network... Anyone have...

So it used to use around 15-20megs on a regular fine day, then I noticed it has been growing over the 3-4 days to a gigantic 100mb memory usage, and 150mb VM usage. I've checked Adware, Virus, etc, but the computer seems clean... Anyone know what could be wrong? :confused: Using winxp sp2...

I know I asked this question before, but I forgot to subscribe to thread, and if someone answered it, I probably missed it, so here it goes again :/ After I installed SP2, everything else seems to be working, except the "status bar" in explorer is not showing up anymore. However, it is working...

other than outlook express that is... thanks in advance :p

yeah.. so maybe I shouldnt post this, cuz I might get flamed like crazy, but I thought I'd ask you guys for recommendation for a linux distro... (even BSD?) I dont know anything about linux (other than being able to use the desktop environment / make directory / copy files.. lol) but I want to...

I just installed 2 sticks of cheap kingston valueram in my system to add some memory to it, and when I run a memory intensive application, I hear some sort of electrical hum (much similar to my monitor, except much higher pitch...) (like Prime95) but when I turn prime off, noise is gone...

I dont know if it's just me, but I havnt got another CRT monitor to compare with. I have the Sony Trinitron (not oem! from freaking '99!! :D ) umm what model is it :confused: hmd-v200 by windows... er.. it's a 17 inch... well anyhow, the point is like, does all CRT monitors "buzz?" my...

I was just wondering, is it just me, or is the system really "buggy?" it keeps telling me that for SOME files that the RPM header is messed up... and refuses to install of course. And for MOST times, the up2date program freezes almost every time I try to download the packages from them...

I tried to follow the directions on the ATI website, but it's given me nothing but headaches and loss of sleep.. It seems to say that I do not have the kernel source to compile the driver (or something of that sort... at least according to ATI) and therefore am not able to use the driver. But...

I was wondering if anyone knew how to use them in linux! (I'm so lazy I can't click "back" and "forward.." :-p I'm running Fedora Core1 (upgrade? too much work :/)

I wanted to uninstall a sound driver on dell 8500 laptop to install the Realtek provided driver (found from this forum) only to find out that windows was kind enough to restore my old drivers (SigmaTel) for me to uhh get messed up with. Now I am getting random beeping noises from my bass, and it...

So under task manager, where all the processes are listed, the user name who owns the process no longer shows up after doing "I have no idea!" Does anyone have a clue as to how to get it back? :confused: :(
