| | Running Windows 7 and IE8. I've been trying to view my browsing history, but every time I click on History, it will only give me a list of my local searches (documents, saved files, etc.). It won't show me a list of internet sites I've visited. I've checked all my … |

I keep getting an error page … |

| | I have a Lacie Electron 22BlueIV monitor (CRT). Last night while I was watching a TV show on it, the screen went to black but the audio continued. I jiggled the mouse and pushed a few keys but the picture wouldn't come back. I shut the computer down and rebooted. … |

| | I bought a HP p6644y desktop last week running Windows 7...hooked everything up and it works fine. Connected my Lexmark X5470 printer to it, drivers were automatically downloaded and installed.

| | For several months, my mouse and scroll wheel have taken on a life of its own. At random times when I'm scrolling up or down, my screen will jump to a previous page (or pages). Other times, the size of the text will change. When I left-click the mouse to … |
| | This has been happening more and more often. Once I get to my Yahoo email inbox, I'll click on an email heading to read the message. The page will then search for several minutes while the word "Loading..." appears at the top. (This is not Windows XP's 'loading' message; it's … |
| | I recently moved into a new house where the owner has a high-speed internet connection through Comcast. I installed a wireless-B adapter (made by Linksys) so I could tune in to his signal. After a few days, my computer reverted back to its old dial-up habits. It still takes a … |
| | For quite some time, I have been unable to get streaming videos to play properly. This occurs with Youtube, Hulu, and related sites. I hear the audio fine, but what I see is basically a slide show of images. I've done speed tests on my computer (using speedtest.net) as well …  |
| | I have a Lexmark X5470. It works great, and I'm very happy with it. However, something very strange happens every now and then when the power is off. At any given time, the printer will start up on its own for about 30 seconds, making the sounds of the cartridge … |
| | I have not been able to connect to Bearshare 4.6.0 for several days. I know this is not the latest version, but up until a few days ago, I've never had any trouble. When the page comes up, the blinking red light in the upper right corner never switches to … |
| | I just finished putting together a video using Windows Movie Maker. It was saved to my hard drive as a WMV file and is 11.5 MB. It's basically a slide show with music underneath. When I play it back on my computer, it looks great. The transitions are smooth, and … |
| | My old HP mx703 CRT monitor bit the dust yesterday, so I went out an bought a 19-inch Westinghouse LCD. I was all excited about upgrading to the flatscreen world. However, my excitement was premature. The picture and graphics on this monitor aren't nearly as claer as my old CRT. … |
| | I have an HP mx703 monitor, approximately 5 years old. Recently, I've been having an on again/off again problem when turning on my computer (also 5 years old) whether from sleep mode or shut-down mode.

| | I have a Lexmark X5470. Whenever I try to print the address on an envelope, the printer always does so portrait-style, despite the fact that I have my printer set to landscape-style. The envelopes are being loaded correctly. I've even tried switching to portrait, and it still does the same … |
| | I've had the old version of Bearshare for several years and have never had any problems. Tonight, though, I was on it for a few minutes, when all of a sudden, the page disappeared. I tried it again, and the same thing happened. I checked my properties, and everything was … |

| | I have a Lexmark X5270 printer. For the past several weeks, whenever I try to print something, the paper either won't feed, or it will only feed about halfway. I've removed the paper and tried different thicknesses (amounts) of paper, but nothing seems to affect it. I've also tried getting … |
| | Recently upped my memory from 256 to 760 MB. Surfing from page to page still takes longer than the old dial-up days. For example, from the time I signed onto my home page until I got to this thread was nearly ten minutes. I've checked my task manager, and it … |
| | Latest version of WMP is very slow on my computer. Whenever I play an audio file, the audio is fine, but all the visuals and graphics freeze (audio continues to play). My mouse is useless until the page unfreezes. So it could freeze at 10 seconds and then jump to …  |

| | I transferred a video file from my harddrive to a CD-R several months ago. Today I put the CD-R in and I got a message saying that "one or more codecs are needed to play this file". I clicked on "web help" but nothing happened. I also get this codec … |
| | For the past few days whenever I click on my FILE, EDIT, VIEW, FAVORITES, TOOLS, HELP drop-down menus, all I'm getting is a faint outline of the box around the sub-headings. I have to run my cursor over the box in order to get the sub-headings to appear. What would … |

| | For the past several weeks, my external Linksys adapter has been losing its connection to the router (which is upstairs) a few minutes after I get online.

| | For nearly 2 weeks, my system has been invaded by a site with the address of 69sexsearch.com. This page pops up whenever I close out a window from any other site. When this garbage opens, it will open between 30 and 50 windows in about 10 seconds. Whenever I close … |
| | The last several times I've run Spybot, it will get about 75% through checking, but then it will stop and the words "Z-Demon error" (and some German phrase in parentheses) will pop up. I will then go ahead and fix the other problems. Does anyone know what this error is? |
| | For several weeks I have been inundated with a constant flow of windows popping up called 69sexsearch.com.

 | If you're referring to Windows XP Service Pack 2...I downloaded this a few weeks ago, and my computer did not accept it gracefully. It not only slowed my computer down, but it created many other problems. When I called Hewlitt Packard, they told me that SP2 had "problems" and should … |
