Another choice is maxthon. While based on the ie engine it is allot more secure. To say that it has the same "security issues" as ie is wrong. I question the all the plugins for firefox. While yes they are needed to run aplications they are made by firefox users. …

Ok I think I can help with this. Make sure you disable and or uninstall the old sound card. Right click on my computer. Go to properties go to hardware go to divice manager. Go down to sounds and find the old card and disable it By right clicking on …

I have the quick shut down and reboot button in my xp pro toolbar at the bottom. Here is the link. [url]http://www.webtechgeek.com/How-to-one-click-shutdown-button.htm[/url] Good stuff. Works great.

This may work for ya. Go to start,run type in regsvr32 Urlmon.dll. Notice the space between 32 and urlmon. That needs to be there. Someone please correct me if I am wrong on the dll file. Here are a few others using the same process I found to help. Mshtml.dll …

Im glad I could help. Try this as well.[url]http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFIX.htm[/url]

This whole big tweak everyone is talking about that makes firefox so much faster. Well its been around for along time. The about:config thats used I'm guessing is nothing but a registry tweak. Go to [url]http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php[/url] about 3/4 down the page you see the web pages load faster tweak?? Look …

Have you tried a diffrent browser? Install a diffrent browser and see what happens. Maxhon is an i.e. shell. Or firefox. Personally I use and love opera. Gives one of thoes a shot and see what happens.

Yes this can be done. You will need a 3rd party boot manager which seems to be the best solution for what you want. Vcom makes one osl2000 boot manager is another. I am sure there are several others you may want to search and you may stumble upon a …

I believe its java related?? Make sure java is updated. If that dosent work use the ie tool posted here......[url]http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFIX.htm[/url] Let us know if that worked...peace.......im out

You will have a hard time with that one. Looks way to much like you want to spam.

Personally I would consider uping your ram. Its really cheap anymore. Your error that you dont have enough ram could be a indication that the ram you have is going bad. I myself have 512 and really need to jump to a gig. Xp is such a resource hog.

Both avg and avast are really pretty good and free. I use both. I just set it up so avast does not start when my computer does. Both are pretty great and up to this point have not missed anything.

I hope you have a couple of anti virus programs. If not get avg and avast and do a scan in safe mode. I assume you have xp. Hit f8 while boot up. Scan with both anti viurs and spyware. You may even want to get microsofts anti spyware. Its …

While I agree ghost is the best. I personally would go with ghost 2003. Seems like alot of people haveing problems with ghost 2004. Ghost 2004 will not create a bootable disk like ghost 2003. You have to use a 3rd party program to make 2004 bootable. So go with …

Refer to the question IE closes down when clicking a link. That may help your problem. Hope so.........peace.......im out

I really can not recommend nortons ghost 9.0. I really love this program and it just works great. There are a couple of ways you can do this. Compress the ghost image and save it to disk. Or what I recomend is buying a external harddrive. They are pretty cheap. …

I agree. Nortons virus and internet security is just bad all around. There are 2 free ones I really really like. Avast and Avg. I just keep avg from loading at startup. You can google avast anti virus and avg anti virus. Or you can download them at [url]www.zdnet.com[/url]. Side …

I just dont get it. Maybey I never will. All Browsers will have security issues. Period. Firefox. Ie. opera...all of them. Maybey people just got way into the hype that this browser or that one is so much more secure. No browser is bullet proof. I have surfed with ie …

In your browser. Go to options. Internet options. Security. Set to default. Also your firewall may be set wrong. If worse comes to worse disable for the download. Hope that helps.

[QUOTE=southernneonser]Ive tried to run the IE fixes and I could only get the iefix to run and itdidnt work . in fact it caused me to not be able to open any internet applications from Microsot Outlook. I hope someone wil be able to know how to get IE tobe …

I will never recomend any of nortons products. I have seen in posts so many issues with this software. 2 years agao I did try nortons anti virus and ran avg as a back up. The only way nortons found the virus was because avg found it first. I love …

You should never feel silly for asking for help. Its how we all learn. There is No such thing as a dumb question. Honestly I am pretty impressed. You know about security, you run hijack this. I offer a few friendly tips. Here are links to 2 free sites that …

Just some useful info I have taught myself the hardway. Reloading xp lots. Useful tips from others. Lots of trial and error. Tons of reading and searching. Checking for Virus. 1.Option for Xp. Scan in safe mode. Reboot windows and hit f8. Will take some time. Scanning in safe mode …

Maybey if you google no cd patch for your version of photodraw you will find what your looking for. Thats really all I can say. I think. Not sure on rules in this forum for dealing with this issue.

Need more details. What os you have. What happened before the error. It looks like from what I understand its a java related issue. Maybe try to download it again and install. Or uninstall it and reinstall. My first quess would be download and try to reinstall if possible. Have …

It sounds like a virus or spyware issue to me. Yes I would try to reinstall avg and scan your computer. Forsure run spyware and virus scans. See what comes up. May not even hurt to run hijack this and see what you can find. The automated sites are pretty …

Even though I Have used ff from time to time I find it a pain at times. To many plug ins. To many problems. Some sites can not be viewed right. I was never a big fan of ff. Figured I would test drive it again. Still same problems. Think …

I had to respond to this one. I see the word bare share. Here is a idea to keep virus and spy ware off your computer and stop having to reformat your hard drive. Quit using file sharing programs. Its that simple. No spy ware, virus, browser will help until …

I can offer 2 suggestions. You can reformat your harddrive. Start from square one. Or if you want to continue to fight it and fix it you can run hijack this and use it at a couple of automated sites. The sites are pretty good and they are free. Let …

Everyone says ie6 is such a huge security risk. Funny I have used it and maxthon (my ie 2) with out any problems. I have yet to find the magic web site that puts stuff on my computer without me knowing. I have surfed all the nasty and worst of …

Maybey these can be pinned? Please excuse me if they have already been posted or pinned in this forum. Here are 2 sites that will read hijack this logs and they are automated. No waiting for someone to read them. From every thing I have seen they are pretty acurate. …

I found 2 diffrent sites that are automated hijack this log readers. Works pretty sweet in my humble oppinion. Hope that helps. [url]http://www.help2go.com/modules.php?name=HJTDetective[/url] or [url]http://www.hijackthis.de/[/url]

Have you tried to uninstall sp2 to see if that will fix the problem? Also May I suggest a start up manager to see what is starting up when your computer does to see if that could be an issue. [url]http://www.windowsstartup.com/[/url] is a nice one. Hit the consult button and …

Just adding my 2 cents. Go to start. Control panel . Network connections. Right click on your conection and hit repair. That helped me once. Another thing. With my computer and sp2 it was all kinds of strange. Found out that i went to compaq got all my driver updates …

Found a couple of cool sites that read hijack this logs automatically. Copy the log and paste in the box hit analize. [url]http://www.hijackthis.de/[/url], Oops only one thought I had 2. I have used it a few times. Handy little item.

[url]http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFIX.htm[/url] check both boxes not to run. Then hit apply? Or run. The 2 boxes are other options to fix ie. Give that a shot and see what happens. Also java.com is your java up to date? Hope that helps. Have a nice day

virus or spyware problems?? Can do an online check at [url]http://housecall.trendmicro.com/[/url]. If not you may need to download sp2 again and give that a shot. I recomend getting the free cd version. Takes about a week. Hope that helps.

You may have to uninstall sp2. Should be under add remove. Did you download it or get the cd? Make sure all your drivers are up to date. The maker of your computer should have thoes for you. I would uninstall sp2 then make Sure drivers are up to date. …

This is simply for all thoes that told me how wrong I was about security and open source browser like fire fox. So now the first of many holes has been found in fire fox. They had to advertise to the world we are way more secure. The hackers have …

Are you allowing active x install. The top of your browser you may see a message windows has blocked this download for your security?? Check your security settings for ie6 make sure they are set to default. Options,internet options security. Just a few ideas. No luck with that let me …

Nothing will happen to ie if you install firefox. Which is better?? Try both and use your own oppinion. Its like asking which is better, pepsi or coke. Its a personal choice. Just dont buy the hype fire fox is more secure. The best security is knowledge,common sense,and finding correct …

You forgot the new kid on the block. Maxthon. Honeslty in my humble oppinion its the best of both firefox and ie6. To say its just a skin for ie is completley false. That would be like saying firefox is a skin for netscape. Same idea. Stand alone browser. Just …

Take the first disk. There should be 6 of them. Put the first disk into your drive reboot and it will do it for you. Just do a ful recovery.

In the browser. Tools.....internet options.....general.....hit the button that says delete. Has a button for both. No such thing as a sill queston. Its how we learn. Feel free to ask anything. Have a nice day P.S. I believe there is a free program that will do this for you as …

Here may be an idea. If ie will not work try another browser. Opera,firefox,there are allot of choices. That may help you until you can figure out whats wrong wit ie.

I have always had the best luck with nero. Backing up is pretty easy really. Just an Idea. One idea. Surff the word yahoo bookmarks. Its free!! You can back up all your bookmarks and leave them on the net..........peace....im out

I wonder if your browser has been hijacked. I would consider doing this. Download hijack this. Find a website that can read the logs and see if that helps. Its a spyware program. I really can not suggest a certian website but I am sure there are tons out there. …

I think you only have one choice. Once you erased the entire harddrive you removed all proof that you had xp in the first place installed by dell. You could do 1 of 2 things. Call dell,explaine what happend. Have them send you the cds to fix it. Or buy …
