Wow, what country are you in?

Hello, SamirD.

The country is Bolivia, the city: Santa Cruz de la Sierra, the ISP provider is COTAS.

I keep singing the same song: couple of days downloading, then (it looks like) Zyxel overload, consequently Zyxel turned off for a while and everything working fine ...

Hello to everybody.

Here I go for a third instalment of this saga.

Forget about what I said in my previous post (auto-answering my first one) about the apparent incapacity of a TP-LINK router to reach internet through a ZYXEL P-600.

I don't know why, looks like every time the ZYXEL stays on and ...

Hello:

As I explained in my previous post. I've got a two sided problem with a TP-LINK wireless router. This router is connected, via cat5, to a Zyxel P-660-T1.

The main problem is the TP-LINK apparent incapacity to reach Internet through the Zyxel.

The second one, was that setting up the TP-LINK ...

Hello:
I beg you to excuse my bad English, not being my native language.

I'm trying to add wireless onto a network that connect to internet using a SYXEL P-600 series.

In order to do this I'm using a TP-LINK TL-WR841N router.

The internet connection has a dinamic IP, no PPPOE.

After connecting ...

I had a brainstorm. I just couldn't rest and leave you without a solution.
Dos rocks :)

Use the Dos path instead of the long name. Use the Dos truncated name.

A couple of days ago I had to change the administrator password in a laptop running Win Xp Pro. As nobody knew what the old password was I use a copy of Winternals and set up a new password.

My question is: Why it is so hard (impossible) to find out the administrator password in Win XP? As I see it ...

This is a strange thing. Today I've tried to delete some junk mail from my hotmail account. But no matter what I do the mail refuses to go.
I select them (two of them to be precise) click to send them to the trash bin. They go. Then I select all the mail in the trash bin, click to empty it. And the ...

Let me explain it slow and thoroughly (I wish my English was a bit better, but..)

TonyT:
I've tried with the ips that you suggested. But they doesn't seem to work. Whenever I use them in Internet Explorer, the browser redirects me to that latino msn page and to spanish google.
As I've already said is in Firefox where I can get "msn.com".
Thanks again TonyT

Gort9k

Thanks a lot for your answers. I've tried and installed Firefox, and now I can get http://www.msn.com. But only with Firefox; Internet explorer keeps stubbornly giving me that latino thing.

In case of google thins remain the same. In Firefox and I.E. I always get google.es.

Ok, thanks to everyone

I am a spaniard, living in Spain. And I want I. Explorer to open with http://www.msn.com . But no matter what I try it always defaults to http://www.latino.msn.com . I am more than fed up with this annoying behaviour.
The same applies to google. Whenever I try google.com I get google.es.

I've found some command that seem able to delete a stuck print job (theoretically), but so far I've haven't been able to make it work.
"prnjobs". There are an array o switches for this command. But so far the only ne that works for me is "-l", that list all the jobs in queue.

I've tried to stop/delete the printing job by clicking the right mouse button and then cancel printing job.

I've done that, before and after, shutting the printer down. And rebooting the lap top. Some times doing that helps. But not this time, and I don't really see forward to uninstall and install ...

I've got an ACER laptop running Vista Home Premium attached to a HP5940 inkjet printer. The problem is that there is a printing job stuck in the printing spool (?), and there is no way to eliminate it. I've tried to delete the job, but Vista keeps saying it is eliminating the job but to no avail. A ...

Thanks for your answers.

Of course I know that almost every email client has the facility to create rules. And it is true that they do its job. But, for instance, you set a rule to reject "viagra" messages; the next message comes with "v1agra", or "vihagra", of course you know what it is but your ...

I supposse tha I am more than fedup with email crap as al of you are. So far noboby has developed a nice working solution to this plague.

I'm afraid I was doing things wrong, right from the start.

Use the recovery cd/dvd that came w/ the computer is the only way else use a purchased copy of XP. Try cleaning the dvd.

Perhaps I didn't explained myself.

The Recovery DVD, has a ghost image. But this image is corrupted. It also has a I386 folder with, I assume, a copy of Windows Media Center ...

Yesterday, a frien of mine who had Windows Media Center installed in his PC, asked me to reinstall the S.O. As he owns a branded PC that ships a recover DVD with a ghost image, we tried to make the recovering from it. But the image was corrupted.

I'd like to thank you both, yeoldestonecat and twwabw, for your help.

Yes, I use PcA v. 10.5.1.

As the title points to: I'd like to send an outlook express message to multiple recipients, but I don't want them to see all the recipients in their email header. I'd like them to see just their own address, like the message was sent to them personally.

How can I do this?
