Butane!

Now I just happen to be drunk as hell. i forgort how ..what is 1 million divided by ten divided by ten dividided by like ten times. who cares? just do it .. rate me down when you don't understand, but make sure to never rate me up when i actually do decided like i can help,,squash this thread.. it has been pointlessly disected. way beyond necessary

usually it is all automated. they are not actually sitting by a screen, snooping through your computer. Zombies are used mostly for ping of death. the master sends out a command to all known zombies(millions) and this command activates a file that resides on the zombie machine(probably a cookie or bit torrent program). the file is what executes commands directly, sending out pings.
i actually do not know any more than that. and i actually do not know all the details, but i hope i have helped out a bit.

my theory is fried CPU, but i need another CPU or MOBO of same socket type to test...

checking the BIOS. hold F1, or delete or something (depending on the brand) before startup. you probably already found a boot disc by now though, right?

booting into safemode loads up 'safe' drivers for your devices so, logical conculsion is bad boot file or bad hard drive, hopefully it's not a hardware problem

in the Run... line type msconfig or msconfig.exe or msconfig.msc
click the 'startup' tab to see what is running at startup.
click the 'services' tab to see services you might want to disable.

try to use drwatson.exe(or whatever it's called) to scan for hardware problems

search 'pcdoctor' online that is another hardware scanner

even a newly installed OS might still need to be defragged

to access your router page you can click start,
type cmd.exe
in the comd box type ipconfig
press enter
the 'default gateway' is your router. type that # into your web browser address line. your router page should come up.

you can also try remote desktop,
click start, right-click computer, then choose properties
click 'remote settings' and go from there
remote desktop can be started from start menu all programs,
accessories, remote desktop connection.

make sure 'name' and all computers have at least one password
-there still is more to try if none of this works, like group policy, but that shouldn't be the problem unless someone(or something!) has something set up to block.
group policy will blow your mind- type gpedit.msc into the run line.

also you can disable the sharing wizard by clicking organize in windows explorer, then 'folder and search options', 'view' tab, scroll down and there it is. uncheck it and click ok.
then you can use password-protected sharing without the homegroup/workgroup, i believe.

right-clicking!
to set permissions, right-click the drive, choose properties.
choose the security tab and go from there.

for just moving something, right-click it, choose cut, then right-click where you want to move it to and choose paste

you say jokes about technology like;

'that router is so old, its ip address is 1'

ok i got another idea. i went to wikipedia to look up A4 size media.
you might be using paper that is too small!

A4 is 8.3"x11.7" compared to north american 'letter' paper is 8.5"x11"
maybe your printer & paper are from different countries!
