This is kind of a random question, but what are the different speeds of internet, what's the fastest, and how much would they cost. I'm not really looking for any specific location, nor am I looking into getting it, I'm just curious to what is available these days.

I have IE6, I'm pretty sure I have the service packs on it and everything, and I'm running Windows XP Home. I sort of noticed this starting a month or so ago, but it's weird, even for .zip and .exe files it won't let me "Save Target As.." anymore. What …

I'm still using VB6 unfortunetly, but anyway, how would I go about implementing this? Say I wanted to do something so when you click a button the text in a textbox changes but has a 200-300 millisecond delay so it looks as if the words are changing really fast. But …

I'm really scared and etchy about getting VB. NET, as I've just started out in VB 6 and I've gotten pretty used to it. But I wanted to know from experts that used VB 6 before....is it a big change? Will it be hard to get used to after just …

Okay, here is a good one.... I just finished building a custom PC over the weekend. Got all the hardware, BIOS, OS, and applications set up and did the updates. Oddly enough, Sunday Internet Explorer quit accessing the internet, as did Media Player. MSN explorer works fine, as does Mozilla. …

How do I get this error fixed. I have been trying to get my network starter kit working and now it tells me my system registry has been deleted on purpose or is missing. Also tells me to uninstall the last program I installed but there was nothing installed. I …

I think something is seriously messed up with my computer. I'm running off Windows XP, and it seems whenever I install a 30 mb program, my hard drive goes down about .2 GBs. I currently have 58.9 GBs left, and just two days ago I had 59.6 GBs. Is that …

I've recently noticed that my pagefile.sys thing is at 700+ megabytes and that might be what's slowing down my system, and I just want a little extra diskspace. Is there any SAFE way to change this so it's not so big, maybe making a new file with the same name, …
