I got the new version of Norton for XP, but some of the utilities that are available in 98 are not in XP, anyone else have the same?

That is for Norton Utilities.

Bonskibon

I have the 2001 version, I did the updates they had on the website. Guess I'll need to purchase the new one.

Bonskibon

downloading now...........thanks

Bonskibon

I am shocked.......................

Bonskibon

That will work, thank you

That site is loaded with pop ups. I got lost.

Bonskibon

Anyone know of a good software utilities package for XP? I tried installing a copy of Norton that I had, but half the utilities don't show up that do on my 98SE computer, I download a patch for the program too. Does not seem to be alot of programs out for XP yet.

Bonskibon

What do I need to connect my laptop to my desktop pc? Or does anyone know of a website that can show me how to connect the two step by step?

Thank you

Bonskibon

careful what you say here, could be young kids that roam these forums.

Bonskibon

that's it.......I am eating my wheaties starting tomorrow.

Bonskibon

well noted, thank you.

Does anyone have Direct TV DSL? if so, is it any good? I live in an area where we have nothing in terms of high speed internet access, and I am getting desperate. I am using dial-up :rolleyes: and can't stand it anymore. The only other option I see that I have is going satellite. Would it be worth ...

Bonskibon

I got it. It is:

"shutdown -s -t 0" for shutdown without the quotes, although you may need to manually turn off the computer.

"shutdown -r -t 0" for restart, again, without the quotes.

that is the "number" zero at the end of each.

Bonskibon

Hang in there Brent, this will pass, things will get better.

What happened 9-11 shook us all to the core. We are living in times that we are not used to. We need to stand behind our president and pray for him, for wisdom to make the right choices for our great country. God Bless America!

Bonskibon

That makes sense. Thank you, always learning.

Bonskibon

yes that's the file, thanks. Not used to this system. Anyways the shortcut for shutdown and restart for 98 is: C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL.EXE user.exe,exitwindows for shutdown and C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL.EXE user.exe,exitwindowsexec for re-start. I was just wondering if I could create shortcuts in XP too.

Bonskibon

Is there a shortcut that I can create to restart and shutdown on Windows XP? I have them for 98, but don't see a rundll.exe in XP, thought it might be the same.

Thanks

What would be a good refresh rate for a laptop. It is set at 60. If this is the wrong place to post this, sorry, not sure where it should go.

Bonskibon

I have "hide all system files" checked in my folder options in XP but I can see all the .dll files still. Aren't those systems files?

Bonskibon

Thank you all, the answers have been very informative. I think I'll just leave it alone.

Bonskibon

so, it is possible for two different file systems to "share" the same drive? Does it create problems with installing programs say onto the NTFS drive even when some files will be put into the fat 32 drive if that's where the windows folder is?

Bonskibon

The laptop I bought has the hard drive split into two drives. The C drive is fat 32 and the D drive is NTFS.

My question is.....should I convert the C drive to NTFS? Is there any benefit to doing that? and can I do that without re-formatting?

Thank you.

I know about NTFS having encryption, and ...

I wanted a laptop for Christmas. My husband let me get it early because he did not know what to pick out..........I am the geek in the family.

Bonskibon

I really enjoy this site, and wanted to express my thanks to all who take the time to help. I learn so much here, and I know that if I ask a question no matter how stupid it may seem, I can count on a honest reply.

Bonskibon

I meant the same cpu speed and amount of ram. They are different hardware.

Bonskibon

Are laptops slower in general than desktop pcs with the same hardware? Is it because of the LCD screen? Just wondering cuz I have both with the same cpu and ram, but the laptop seems much slower than the desktop.

Bonskibon

I paid 1200 for it John, that to much? Was an early Christmas present that my husband said I could pick out for the money he gave me to spend on one.

Bonskibon

WOW, thank you all very much. I appreciate the responses. I will use the laptop for internet use mostly. I am not into gaming (38 year old "geeky" housewife

). I have a desktop computer for most things, just wanted the "extra" toy.

Bonskibon

I don't know alot about hardware, and just wondering if what I got is good or not.

Bonskibon

I'll have to try it in safe mode I guess. Thank you. Aside from all the "services" that run in the background, everything is off when I defrag.

Bonskibon

Why does it take sooooooooo looooooooong on this OS? Is there anyway to make it go any faster?
