| | Recently we've been getting a lot of questions from people who basically have the same problem - they've assembled a PC but it won't start up correctly! There is a standard troubleshooting procedure for that scenario which everyone should follow, and I'll describe it to you in a moment. But …  |
| | I've lost it. The new look might be 'professional', but it's been at a cost I reckon. I like to make use of search facilities. There may be a topic I recall and would like to dig up again, there may be an issue I'd like to research before making … |

How does it compare to the likes of AdAware and Spybot for … |
| | Hi all, [url="http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/showthread.php?t=17164"] This query from the Geeks Lounge[/url] has me wondering how others feel about the default settings for email notification.

| | Intel have announced that plans to offer a 4GHz Pentium 4 processor have been scrapped. Future development for Intel desktop processors will move toward the PentiumM processor technology, which runs at much lower clockspeeds and uses less power consumption.

| | Some people might be surprised to hear it, but computers aren't everything! Matter of fact, they've receded right into the background for the time being, with the Olympics well under way.

| | Hi, One of you wonderful souls recently posted a link to a website which described the various sections of the HijackThis log, and how to identify the various things which are reported in it. I'm damned if I can find the reference now, (and I neglected to bookmark it of … |

| | Who got 'caught'? Work set me right up yesterday, with this article published under a mangled version of my name.

| | Have you had to format, and after you've reinstalled everything you've had to download those damned Security updates all over again? I'm betting you don't want to be faced with that onerous task again, and you don't have to. Microsoft has made available, free of charge, a 'Security Update CD' … |
