No, we know what a power outage/fluctuation sounds like. This was more like fire alarm, extremely piercing. I am wondering if they are not programing from the sky, kind of like the electric company can do.

I"ve shut my box off now. Don't want to be awakened like that again.

Yesterday, at 5 AM I was awaken by extremely loud, ear splitting sound. My dogs were barking. I thought my fire alarm but it shut off immediately. It came from the area of my TV but my TV was off. Then I thought, well there's a vent there so maybe something in basement. I searched my home, I couldn ...

cindy1948

Thank you! I'll try cleaning insides. It was not running when it got wet and supposedly a small spill. He did not start it up for a week, then nothing happened when he did. I think the vent right below the battery....battery too.

Lent my laptop to son because his was not working (I fixed it) now mine is not working. He said he got a warning about overheating so he shut it down, took it back to dorm and put it upside down on his desk so it would cool. He accidentally spilled soda onto the back of laptop.

Ok, laptop wouldn't ...

Police are the ones that found the laptop and returned it to me. It was found in a pawn shop and the person who stole it was out on probation, working with a contractor who was doing work in my house. The guy is in custody but I'm out in the cold.

I have the key on the bottom of the laptop. I can ...

The data is not that important anymore. Its been 2 years, what would be nice if I could just use my old laptop, like having it downstairs and one upstairs. I don't have the money to just waste, as I said, I bought a new one but I'm still paying on it.

I wish the police could have done something.

Thief installed Windows 7 ultimate with a password. There is a password reset wizard but I need to have created a password reset disc. Is there any free way for me to open my computer?

Thief named himself/herself Chopcity, the hint is My Angel.

I had made out a police report and the police found ...

cindy1948

You were right, not too bad cause I shut down and have restarted asnd the computer starts up. I have some things missing and somethings added.

My level of expertise is almost non existant so now I'm thinking maybe I could get away with a restore. If I restore then I wont have to have someone else ...

cindy1948

OMG, had no clue that it was the registry I was messing with. Now I'm even more concerned and think I should take it over to staples. But thank you again yeolestonecat!!

cindy1948

I was trying to fix a service hang and used some directions found on the internet. I pushed the wrong button and now I'm afraid I might have changed all the services which run on my computer. I am afraid that when I shut down, necessary services won't be restarted and my computer won't restart. Does ...

I have been reading everthing in the router and can't seem to find a section called "port forwarding" My DMZ has not been touched.

cindy1948

Thanks........

My nephew might have opened some holes as he remoted from his college to my home (where he has been living). Is there something I can check to make sure I don't keep these "FORWArded ports when he leaves?

Once again, I thank you.

cindy1948

Been reading and supposedly XP Home doesn't have it??Am I misunderstanding? I have it on all my laptops. I don't have professional version.

Second question, if someone comes visiting to my home and uses their computer to connect to their job via remote desk top, have they changed anything in my ...

cindy1948

It is on the computer.

cindy1948

I broke this pin (male) off my computer. I can no longer charge my computer and of course the battery is dead now. Without spending bunches of money I was hoping I could somehow fix it enough to get important stuff off.

I tried to soder the pin back but the sodder cools before I can get the pin ...

Thank you Mr. YeOldeStonecat!!!!

Is the open soucrce software at this site legitimate?

http://www.dotproject.net/

I want to use this instead of purchasing microsoft project sofware. Is there anything I should be concerned about?

Any thoughts or insights would be appreciated.

cindy1948

Thanks....Vista was preinstalled.

I just checked the start/programs/accessories/system tools/activate-register and there is no such thingy......

cindy1948

Is there any way I can tell if my product is used? The box didn't have a seal and looked opened and disturbed.

I didn't have to regisiter. Actually, during the install process I had to leave the laptop, when I returned, I was on line and there was no form for registering windows.

I just went to ...

I'm having a problem with my video card on my other computer. When I turn on the computer, I see lots of purple/green streaks across the screen, and when it gets to the windows xp login page the screen goes blank but the monitor is still on/working. I have a radeon x9800 ? something like that ...

This is home but we do have a business web site which is serviced elsewhere. Its a restaurant so little changes or work is needed.

One of our friends suggested setting up server, he felt I would be able to handle it, almost as a therapy for me as I have a spinal cord injury. He explained to me that ...

cindy1948

Hey guys, I'm still here.

Still really concerned about my set-up. I have made arrangements for someone to come and check my systems out and maybe make some security changes.

I really don't know anything about the gaming end and had to have someone else set the x box up. Perhaps my nephew(who set ...

I clicked on those report things and it showed me the IP address and said it was having problems with this mac addresss.........I have nothing with the mac address that is listed.

So I thought to myself can someone be using ...

YeOldeStonecat , I can now get on the internet but it is starting to give the alert of a system error again. Eventually, this will prevent me from getting on internet....at least this is what happened previously.

Jes, thought it was fixed.

cindy1948

Wow, look at the times on posts.....something wrong

cindy1948

oK, I am now at that command

Under windows ip configuration it says
Node Type: Hybrid
IP Routing Enabled: No
WINS Proxy Enabled: No

Are these correct?

I am behind a Router, one desk top puter is directly connected to router, two laptops and one desktop are connected wireless.

I just did the ...

Jes Tony, My page says:

Eraser v5.3.
Download Eraser 5.3 for Windows 95, 98, ME, NT 4.0 and 2000 from SourceForge (May 23, 2002; 751k). Free software. This is on the dowload page, not the Frequently Asked Questions.....

Hmmmmmmmmmmm what to do?

cindy1948

Tony and all,
The eraser, where you just download and run seemed most appropriate but it doesn't list windows XP.

http://www.tolvanen.com/eraser/download.shtml

Will I still be able to use it, the laptop has XP home edition.?

cindy1948

ok, gonna try the one that seems easiest for my level of computer swavy (which is not much).

I'll let you know how I make out, but in the meantime, thanks alot!

cindy1948

hmm, don't know, it came with the puter........

cindy1948

Hey, thanks for the link. Now, it doesn't look like it is for the puter illiterates, burn ISO, etc...............I really don't know what that means. Have any sites where it is really easy?

cindy1948

Morning.

HP could not fix my almost 1 yr old laptop (after 3 tries). They are now going to replace it, but they are replacing it with a refurbished laptop :(

I saw on TV that when you reformat it doesn't truely get rid of stuff. I do have to return my old laptop and am concerned all those puter ...

cindy1948

I did buy a wireless adapter .....it is by Microsoft, called MS740 wireless adapter for xbox live

cindy1948

I tried it, that didn't work.

I did go into my router and there is one strange part, I have all the mac addresses listed but when I go to attached divices menu, it doesn't show the xbox as a device.

cindy1948

Can anyone walk me thru?

I have netgear for my router. I bought the MS 740 wireless adapter and now I can't connect.

I can get it to connect to the internet by disabling Mac addressing in my router. ( Problem with that part is that none of my puters will then work, only xbox is connected) In ...

cindy1948

Hey, Thanks for all this help.

I don't think I disabled Windows explorer. When in safe mode I only disabled the ones that I knew I had put on the puter myself...like aim, like msg plus etc.

This freezing occurred after the third notice of the trojan and then porkchops helped me get into safe mode ...

cindy1948

when i restart my computer now to run in normal mode it stops at the windows 98 page where u have the windows logo with the sky background , and it is freezing there and not advancing more than that
