I use limewire and saw your post about junk. "From using Limewire for a few years I have noticed that anything that is 197 kb or 851.7 kb is an old fileshare virus. Always add them to the JUNK list" I can't find where I would put this info in a JUNK list. Can you give me directions for this? I'm using 4.12.6 pro. Thanks

Drop shadows for icon labels on desktop
by Guest Gregg Cattanach- 2 replies
- 217 views
On one of my computers I can't make the drop shadows appear for the icons on the desktop. Regardless of how I choose that checkbox (Control Panel/System/Advanced/Performance/Settings/Visual Effects/"Use drop shadows for icon labels on the Desktop" ) the icon labels always just show with a regular font and a box of the desktop color (which doesn't look nice against the desktop picture). A minor complaint, but it would be nice if I could fix it. A registry tweak somewhere, perhaps? -- Gregg C.

Hear Click sound (it is a wave file) every 3 minutes.
by Guest Jack G.- 4 replies
- 242 views
Hi: About 2 days ago I started hearing a single or quick double click sound (it is a wave file because if I turn down the wave volume I do not hear it) at approximately 3 minute intervals; I timed it. I have AVG firewall and Aniti-Virus plus new Ad- Aware 2007. I cannot find anything wrong or a virus but this 'clicking' is driving me crazy. Has anyone had problem lately, is this a virus? The only thing new on my PC is the Ad-Aware 2007 we were forced to move to, but it did not hear it the first few days it was installed; plus the click it almost exactly 3 minutes so it is not a sound letting me know something is being blocked. I have check every se…

no signal??
by Guest emad senejani- 2 replies
- 225 views
Every time I stop my computer from (by pressing the enter button or sleep button on the keyboard) sleeping or stop hibernating or stop going in to stand by mode, my mouse and my monitor receive no signal. sometimes my keyboard and monitor stop receiving signal. So in order to use my computer i have to manually turn off the computer. (by pressing the power button on the PC) I have also used other monitors, other keyboards and other mouse. the same thing happens. I'd appreciated it if any one could resolve my problem.

I want to create a simple database program using VB in wich I could put each of my classmates and giving them attributes based on physical description like gender, age, eye color, hair color, etc... The program must be some kind of search engine in wich I can search using those attributes and show results in order of match percentage. If I search for males with blue eyes and brown hair, I should get: 100% Males, blue eyes, brown hair. 66% Males, blue eyes, other hair 66% Males, other eyes, brown hair 33% Males, other eyes, other hair. If anybody has some skills in programing, please give me a hint, or a link for how to create such a program. I did it…

I've just bought a new computer with vista home premium installed last week. anyways I started using media center and started watching live Tv. while watching, I paused it to get a drink. Before getting a drink the blue screen suddenly popped up. I know vista is still pretty new and may still have some bugs, and I respect that-but I just got the computer seven days ago-And yes i have firewall, anti-virus, and anti-spyware enabled. any suggestions to why it happened?
