 | Same here... it's worked just fine. Did you mention that your husband's Mac could not connect as well? That could indicate a problem with the ISP, or with your router...  |
| | In the future, don't piggyback posts. It results in topics getting confusing, and it keeps you from getting the attention you might deserve. :) |
| | The only thing I've found is that when rebooting or shutting down, CCApp.exe doesn't shut down immediately-- it takes it a second or two to come down. Other than that, I've had few problems. But, I'm running WinXP Pro on an AMD barton XP2500+, with 512MB of RAM... |

| | A lot of times when things like this happens, it's because of spyware. Applications like NEWDOTNET actually modify your IP stack to do little nasty things. A lot of times, it can end up with you losing DNS resolution, and other times, you just can't get an IP address. It's … |

| | If it's a bluescreen popping up, what is the 0x######## code that appears next to STOP, at the bottom of the screen?  |
| | Re: IRQ Sharing How old is this system? Any modern OS using PCI cards will undoubtedly share some IRQs. Honestly, there's little that can be done about it. If you're using ISA cards, though, there are sometimes jumpers on the cards that can set the IRQ and ioport that it's using. Some 3com … |
| | Definitely... I'd grab some type of disk checking utility, too. Your hard drive might be trying to tell you it's not happy... ;) |
| | When did you first start getting this error? Have you checked for spyware? Can you name some other programs this happens in? |
| | Re: XP Account I'm not sure about the first part of things, but on the second part, here's something that can help: Right click your desktop background and choose properties. Click on the "Screensaver" tab. There should be an option that says something to the effect of "Display the Welcome Screen at resume". …  |
| | Re: ext3 and solaris Check out this page: [url]http://www.lrz-muenchen.de/~bernhard/grub-solaris.html[/url] Down at the bottom, there's apparently a solaris module that can enable ext2/3 support. |
| | There isn't technically an "Administrator" in ME, or any other 9x line of Windows. Are you sure that the CD burning software you're using is compatible with ME? Even if you set up multiple users on the system, each user will have full reign to do whatever on the system, … |

| | Re: password Since you bought the machine used, you may want to consider just going out and purchasing an OS X installer CD. Basically, I'd just wipe the machine out, and just put a new, fresh system install on it so you don't "inherit" the previous owner's issues that they may have … |
 | Moving to Hardware, because the problem occurs before Windows loads. What model computer do you have? |
 | Do you still have a service contract on that system? If so-- call Dell-- don't screw with it anymore. Tell them what's happening, and if it is a bad hard drive, they can send you a replacement hard drive, if you're still under contract. |

| | If you're having problems with that exact error message, then I suggest searching Google with that error message surrounded by quotes. For instance, [url=http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=%22bridge.dll%22+spyware]Google search for "bridge.dll"+spyware[/url] yielded 13,300 results. I'm sure one of those 13,300 posts can lead you in a good direction. Personally, I wouldn't want someone just …  |
| | No... he knows what kind of data he needs to output, just not what OS to use. I'd imagine you'd want to use anything 2000 or recent-- something that works well already with Active Directory. |
| | On the flipside, you may not need any drivers with XP if the system came with ME. A lot of older devices are supported natively with XP. Before I looked to download any drivers, I'd check in Device Manager to check if there are even any yellow question marks next … |
| | What about in Disk Management? Click on Start, right click on My Computer, select Manage. Once you're there, you should see a Folder on the left hand side that says "Disk Management". Click on that. If Windows is recognizing the drive, you should see an entry in there. |

| | You could have a bad hard drive, then. How old is this machine? It's not common for a hard drive to have bad sectors-- generally, when you have a bad hard drive, the system can freeze or a diagnostic program can restart when it hits the error on the disk. …  |

| | What error messages come up? Give us those, and we'll probably be able to help you. Also, try checking out this thread for general spyware info: [url=http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread5690.html]Helping yourself: What to do first[/url] The reason I suggest that is because a lot of these errors come from spyware-related matters. Try some … |
| | You may have spyware there-- a lot of times browser hijackers can cause this issue. In the Tools menu, click on Internet Options. Go to the Advanced tab, and uncheck "Enable Third-Party browser extensions (requires restart)". Then, click OK. That may disable any nasties that could be interfering with Internet … |
| | If I'm not mistaken, the beige G3 runs IDE hard drives and CD-ROM. That's really cool, IMHO, because that means you have a lot more options when it comes to upgrading the storage. Also, that means you should be able to add any off-the-shelf CD/DVD/burner to upgrade. As for processor … |
 | [QUOTE=kc0arf]The only lacking tools that I see are Quicktime/Windoze Media Player abilities, and a disk optimizer for clearing fragmentation. [/QUOTE] Incidentally, [url=www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/]Mplayer[/url] can handle both Quicktime and .WMV files. And as far as fragmentation is concerned, you shouldn't need to-- Linux does a great job of making writes to disk … |
 | Personally, I'd just buy the For Dummies series of books. True story: When I was 11, I actually picked up Macintosh for Dummies at a local library. I PORED over that book, and I even checked it out several more weeks. By the time I was done reading it, I … |

| | Have you run the Dell Diags? If you just reformatted, and didn't blow away the hidden partition, you can hit F12 at boot, and see if there's a "Boot to Utility Partition" option. If there is, you can run the full diagnostic suite there. |
 | It is probably the blaster or sasser worm. Most likely blaster, because of the rpcss.dll message there. Try running [url=http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger]Stinger[/url]-- it detects and removes both viruses, along with about 40 others :) |
| | Re: My hijakit Log [url]http://www.google.com[/url] If you really want to know what items to check or uncheck, you really need to do some research on your own. We really wouldn't be able to tell you everything to keep or lose. For instance, Shareaza.exe may be a potential troublespot. However, that may be something you … |
| | [i]moving to Security forum[/i] Try running Spybot or Adaware. A lot of times, virus detection tools pick up spyware as trojan horses. The only thing about it is, they don't do a lot about the "virus" that it picks up. You still need to run something to fix the issue. |
| | Try doing a search here on bridge.dll. This error has been pretty prevalent-- I'm sure you will find what you seek. General consensus is that it's related to spyware.
