The power off is here. I just thought I'd reply since I'm having the same problem. The shut off feature is under Display properties>Screen Saver>Power>Shut down. This will have your computer shut down based on idle time. My computer shuts down as well when idle for some time. I don't...

My bad Hmmm, ever get second hand knowledge and pass it on with out testing it? yeah that explains this situation real well. I took that information from a tech website so you know I assumed it worked. I just tested it out myself and no where is messenger added to the list of removable...

This isn't for sure or anything, but when you install programs they create a folder to store the installation files. At a later date you may wish to modify your installation. For example remove or add new files. But, if you remove the temporary installation files then this feature may...

If it's a hdd related issue. Run scandisk If somehow the files became jittery due to reinstallation constantly or some other problem. Try downloading a new mp3 file. And see if the problem occurs in this new file. If so then it's something wrong with your existing files. Creative...

By turning off that option it just doesn't connect, but it'll load. If you don't use Messenger don't just rename the folder. By doing this you prevent the program from ever being loaded unless you rename the folder back to it's original name. Which is bothersome. Just uninstall it...

Restore point before you were infected. If you know the date. If not then you have to run a program called msconfig. It can be run via the run command. Check under startup and under boot for anything suspicious. Laters

Workgroups need to be the same. Ip's obtained automattically are not always different by one. Ip's connected via a hub and not directly will have ip's probably not even close to eachother, since it's no longer the host computer providing your ip, but your isp. Computers need a way to...

I see, I'm not sure cause I don't recieve those exact same errors, but my system is as you described it. What I mostly do is hold the shift key as I delete a file. This method by passes your recycle bin and gets deleted fully. Well as fully as possible without using shredding. There...

I agree with Faner about using TCP/IP over IPX Just to prove my point I'll add some interesting facts. Windows XP will disable ipx protocal all the time. It is set to manual. It will only turn on when a device makes a request for it then it will immediately turn itself off again...

oDin is wrong and right. But if you do some research on netbui you'll find that it's not recommended, very bad security whise. You didn't provide enough information so I'm going to have to assume some things and ask you one question. First the question. How are these computers...

haha don't listen to iceman, I have no idea what he's talking about. Damnyank is right. Go under the "tools" "internet options" "content" then "auto complete" and uncheck the areas you don't want to use auto complete. Might be a good idea to clear the clear forms and passwords as well...

Why would you ever need to format? I never experience these bog downs that everyone talks about. Regular maintaince on your computer should prevent bog downs. I format in only three cases. One I can not recover from a crash due to my own stupidity. A virus so wide spread it can't be...

3dfx went under before they released drivers for XP. Going to the 3dfx site and downloading the most up to date ones will still be over a year old and will probably give you problems. I know banshee is old, but I can't remember how old. If you had 3d support you'll probably lose much of...
