Check out your hosts file - I don't remember where it's located. Maybe someone else can fill in the details?

In IE, Go to the View menu and then Font Size, and keep it on the Medium setting. You can change font sizes in Firefox, as well, but it works a bit differently. Firefox font size control is also more...

I'm wondering if the uninstaller isn't complete and it's still leaving things in the registry. Go to regedit and do a search for the name of the folder that keeps reappearing or the printer model or...

Norton Security software might also have that Norton protected recycle bin thingy which replaces the standard Windows recycle bin. Perhaps a Norton install/uninstall gone wrong?

Right click on your desktop. Click on "Arrange Icons By" and make sure "Lock Web Items on Desktop" is disabled. When it is enabled, you get the blue border.

Hey there. Yes! I am here - despite having surgery yesterday!! ;) In any case, sorry to hear about your PC woes. Your best bet would be to go ask that question in the Security forum. You'd probably...

It says boot.ini failure and then it still boots? The bios is unrelated to microsoft windows. What the bios is, is a setup screen which allows you to configure certain low-level hardware options...

Is this a laptop or LCD monitor? Does the monitor have any controls that might change the resolution? Go to Desktop Properties and then to the Settings tab, were you usually change the resolution....

When I first got Windows 2000, this happened to me. It pissed me off for weeks until I realized how easy it was to fix. At any edge of the window, just double click. Double click again to bring it...

Not that I know of (in DOS). You need something like WinXP that detects hardware, installs drivers, and mounts volumes on the fly (i.e. plug 'n' play)

Thanks for the 411, vester. Never heard of that program but it looks worth a look.

I apologize for my ignorance but a cpu cooler is a heatsink and fan, right?

Personally, I never understood why Outlook always makes the name of the default profile "Default" instead of using the username of the person logged in.

Whew ... I've never heard that one before. First of all, compatibility mode is for software that's already been installed (for running it). It looks like you've got some sorta other problem lurking...

Aaargh - damn svchost.exe

PPL say it's Microsoft's spyware at it's best ...
anyone with any *helpful* suggestions?

Tekmaven, if you removed Mark's email address, how do you expect anyone to be able to contact him? There was a reason he posted it!
