Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it... the *@*#! thing won't start up in safe mode either. I'm thinking now it might be some pernicious virus.

Howdy y'all! I could use some help in figuring out why my system can't restore. I'm running W7 on a 64-bit machine. Problems started about a week ago, when I noticed all the file icons had gone corrupt. I tried restoring my icon cache using cmd, and that worked for about 10 minutes after...

Problem solved! I went into the router and changed the authentication from WPA2-PSK to WPA-PSK. Instant access granted.

I picked up a used Acer netbook for $45 to use for taking notes in class, and can't get the dern thing to connect with the internet on my home wireless network (Comcast/Xfinity). It has Windows XP, and I am able to get a network connection -- in fact it was able to down load Windows updates --...

BTW... Would something like this be a good candidate?... FRYS.com | HP

My kid is getting ready to go off to college at the Expression College for Digital Arts, where she'll be majoring in game design (on full scholarship, the proud mom adds :cool:). She needs to buy a computer powerful enough to crunch out the 3D programs she'll be running, such as Maya, Unreal...

Good suggestions Dreamliner. Actually you were close: it turns out it was a bad ethernet cable, and we also sidestepped two switches. Now my beast is back normal. I can now stop beating my head against the wall. Thanks for all of your help!

Hmmm... I checked, and the nVidia nForce Network Controller is supposedly up-to-date. I've never uninstalled my network driver, so I'm a little nervous about that... (BTW... thanks everyone for your assistance!)

@#$*$!!! Still having the same problems. Yes, other computers in our home are sending and receiving files just fine and dandy. I just ran a speed test on the lap top, and its ping was 36ms, download was 14.88 mbps, and upload was 3.30 mbps. I spent an hour chatting online with Comcast tech...

Thanks, but I don't think the services are the problem. And other computers connected to this network are working fine. :rolleyes:

MEh!... So... all of a sudden I can't upload files. I was trying to upload some art to VistaPrint.com and all of my upload attempts are failing. I logged in to speedtest.net, and I got a 207ms ping, 11.54 mbps on downloads, then it crashed on the upload portion. I've tried it in Chrome and in...

re: Best email program That's another one of the problems I have with Outlook 2003 as well. I have two different accounts from one server (both have the exact same settings), and one of them gets 3 copies of every email sent to it. I'll look into TBird... If nothing else, it has an...

I had to reinstall my entire system (Vista 64bit) a few weeks ago, and among the many little problems I've been having is that Outlook 2003 will not let me use my contacts for multiple-addressed emails. I can vewi my contact list, but if I click on TO or CC when I got to address an email, I get...

I use Roboform.

Oh, YAY! You were right! Thanxomuch tdinc! I restarted, and not only did the driver reload, but I now have sound in all locations. Now I'm off to ABC.com to watch the episodes of Scrubs I missed...
