Hmm, although I bet this has no effect, on who's desktop was the software for the Desktop?

1) First off, AOL is total junk. I think I have liberty in saying this, as I used to subscribe. ;) I would try to get away from it, especially seeing just [i]how[/i] much memory and active content it eats up. 2[quote]apart from that I find the browser faster and …

I'm liking it. :)

Sorry about that, we've been backed up lately (for me, its school :)). Have you looked at the security settings of IE? Secondly, have you tried resetting the router? This problem happens alot to me when the hardware firewall built in blocks 1 but not the other.

That's quite odd. Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling FF?

Have you tried System Restore?

Does this help? [IMG]http://www.itnews.sk/buxus_dev/images/2005/hw0305hw_acer_aspire_1710_02_b.jpg[/IMG]

Hmm....this really is a longshot, but have you tried contacting Dell. Not usually, but they help sometimes. Other then that, I don't know what else to tell ya, otehr then wait for somebody else to say something else. Just so you know' I've placed a copy of this into the …

Major solution: Uninstall all P2Ps, as nearly all have imbedded software (even if they say "no imbeds", its still imbedded, i promise) Other then that, ahve you tried system restore?

It all depends on a buncha variables (ie distance from server, local internet useage, etc). Careful though...P2Ps are legal, while sharing copywrite stuff isn't...and we can't help ya if its illegal...

Winterchase, that's incredible. Good luck with it all. :)

Sorry, can't help ya with that. Thread closed--Illegal action.

Ehh....not really. ALL processors are damaged by excessive heat--just some more then others.

It will have to be replaced, sadly. ;)

Welcome to Daniweb:) To clean things up somewhat, we're gonna run a combination of Ewido and CCleaner: Begin by downloading [url=http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/][color=orange][B]CCleaner[/B][/color][/url], and specifically choosing the most recent version. Then, follow these steps: [color="DeepSkyBlue"]1. Close all programs so that you are at your desktop. 2. Double-click on the [b]"My Computer"[/b] icon. …

Roger that, that's a clean log :) Are ya having any more problems? Thanks.

Can't agree with ya more aparnesh. ;)

Several things. 1) Be sure to have ActiveX enabled when doing visiting the site. 2) possibly turn off any AVs or firewalls when updating.

That definitely sounds like malware. I'd post in the HJT forum...

I take it this is a software firewall, correct? If so, I would look in the firewall settings about 'currently blocked' programs and such, and remove it. If this is a hardware firewall, I would recommend just resetting it.

First, please don't include the ENTIRE post in font. Moved to Troubleshooting Dead Machines.

More data please.

[quote]I actually like IE7 alot too, they finally tabed it, and you can get a preview of the pages you're on.[/quote] I can't lie...it's not that bad anymore, and I' ve been known to use it at times. However, the one thing I still don't like about it are the …

[quote]Can anyone tell me how I can take a copy of all my e-mail folders beforehand as I have lots of saved messages in folders which I would like to keep.[/quote] The best way I can see doing this is to burn them all on a CD(s). If this isn't …

Toulinwoek- Reelax, you've still got half a month to pull ahead. :)

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this could be caused by static--opening up the computer will do this. And also, by opening it up, you just invalidated your warranty. ;)

[quote]Why don't you start a new thread, instead of hijacking this one?[/quote] Done. :)

TheNSS is completely right. Joey., why would you want to know his serial number, other then for illegal reasons? bh99mh, please do [b]not[/b] post your serial number. Thanks.

Most likely a virus. Transfered to virus forum.

Completely agreed with Joeprogrammer. Moved to corect forum.

-Zixan As a major laptop fan myself, as far as I know, I don't think it's [i]possible[/i] to replace internal parts on a laptop without some major skills. If I'm wrong on this, please correct me. Lastly just keep in mind, by opening your laptop case, you would void your …

Actually, its probably because of hidden folders and remnants left on the drive. Every once awhile, enable all hidden folders and clean out all non-necessary items on it.

[quote=lasher511]If someone knows why XP does this and knows why please let me know i am rather curious as to why it does this. [/quote] I might be misinterpreting what you say, but I [i]think[/i] that RAM part of Video RAM isn't shown in total. [quote=maui]Now is there any way …

Moved. :)

Hmmm that's a good question. I know this sounds dumb, but you have it set on "search internet", correct? ;)

Already posted in correct forum - Virus forum. And because you have the same problem in multiple forums, I'll be closing this one. Thanks. :)

Well, truthfully, I would just reformat the computer anyways, regardless if you screwred it up or not. ;) I would do this because you have no clue what could be on there. For more instructions on how to reformatt, post back. Thanks. :)

Mike is [b]exactly right[/b]. Moved to Windows forum.

Moved. :)

I know that, from the hardware store, you can buy connectors that allow you to install a grounding wire to the power plug. The part's like $.30 too...;)

Moved.

Mine isn't like that...

Moved to better location. ;)

I would have your system checked for viruses. Post in the Virus forum. ;)

Chris- Several things. Just because you selected all [I]hidden[/I] folders doesn't mean [I]all[/I] the folders. Did you also select [B]system[/B] folders? What takes up much of the room on your hard drive is your System Restore.

Although you don't need them both, I would recommend keeping them. I use both. :)

Also, be sure you have ActiveX controls enabled before running TrendMicro. IF that doesn;t work, use a PandaScan. Finally, if that doesnt work, try a differnet browser.
