 | I had the same problem a while ago, figured a reformat was easiest, so I did and pursued it no more. Looks to me like spyware has got you, and changed some permissions. In folder options, open up the 'View' tab and uncheck Simple File Sharing. Now, when right clicking … |
| | First thing I'd check is running a different media player. Have you tried that? Personal favorite at the moment is foobar2000. Created by one of the Winamp makers. His goal was the best sound using the least amount of RAM. Also, it can be configured more than almost any other. … |
 | A space after the word netcap and before the / helped me out. |
 | Similar to removing as many icons as possible from the desktop. The less work to do, the faster it all gets done. Often I'm asked to speed up a machine, and then see the desktop packed with icons, as few as possible helps out quite a bit.  |
| | The status bar for web pages, when maximized is down by the start button. Pay close attention to what's going on there. Gives a lot of info. Something I have just recently done, because I got sick and tired of spyware, is [B]switch to Firefox[/B]. [url]http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/[/url] Basically all spyware is … |
| | There's a 'Tech TV' article on the QoS setting, that's at least two years old. Because there are a variety of reports on if it is good or bad, needed or not, and what the ideal setting should be, what they did was try them all. In a nutshell, it …  |

 | [I]Why should we release another OS when the one that the majority of people are using now needs serious changes[/I] Same answer to many questions ..... money. Just think how many of us will toss XP when Longhorn comes out. Weigh that against the decreasing sales of XP and also …  |
| | I didn't spend much time looking at the HijackThis log, so there may be more than what I point out. What jumped out at me is all the 'R1' listings. I think you should delete them (or as HijackThis says 'fix them'). From there, look into your Norton antivirus, looks … |
 | Re: Ram compatiblity I had to work on a friends Compaq a little while ago. For your sake I widsh I would hasve kept the info of how I found the specs. It was brutal to find them and brutal to work on. The only good thing from the experience was giving it …  |

| | Sounds to me like you are running wireless. There are three frequencies available for microwave ovens, cell phones, and wireless nics. Put them on the same frequency and you will get the troubles you have described. Also, with that new card you may want to change the amount of RAM … |
| | I just worked on a Compaq a few days ago, not realizing what I was getting myself into. What a headache those things are. Turns out, by opening the fron plastic panel, where CD's can be stashed, you get extra info on the model type. Now you can find the … |
