Why do unwanted characters appear in emails, web pages, and forums?
by Guest Stan Hilliard- 5 replies
- 233 views
Why are these unwanted characters displayed? Here is an example: I sent an email to myself with a "-" (minus sign) in the title. When I read the email subject lines on my provider's server using Firefox. the - is displayed as these three characters: –. This is just one example. Other characters can be transformed. The occurrence of this problem is intermittent for me and thus I cannot necessarily repeat it at any one time. I think this issue widespread. I did a Google search on – and got 141,000,000 hits. What causes this and how can it be prevented? Stan Hilliard

Display Won't Go To Sleep
by Guest pestocat- 3 replies
- 190 views
I have a laptop Dell 600M with WinXP and with all updates. I have set the Power save to turn off display after 15 minutes and goto a screen saver after 2 minutes. The problem is the display won't go to sleep. I have tried several things. I reinstalled the wireless card drivers and the screen saver worked once and only once. I uninstalled SP3 and again the screen saver worked once. Then not again. Do I need to reinstall Windows? Or any other ideas?

Ctl-Alt-Delete within remote desktop

I had an application lock up today within my remote desktop (It was Vista, while my computer was XP). I hit Ctl-Alt-Delete and got my computer's list of programs, which included the remote desktop program. So I could have killed the remote desktop, which I didn't need to do - but I didn't see how to kill that locked up program. What are my options.

Add Printer - Operation Cannot be Completed
by Guest raydeo- 0 replies
- 147 views
Not sure whether the problem began with XP SP3 or as a result of optimizing my hard drive with Norton System Works 2008. Noted after installing Acrobat Pro 9 that it will not pdf any documents as the system would not setup the necessary printers. Tried adding a printer manually and get the Operation Cannot Complete message. The fix to this is to ensure that Print Spooler is running in Services which it is. It both comes on automatically at boot and stays started. I have also attempted to manually shut it down and then start it but to no avail.

Need Help Finding a Network Setting in XP
by Guest vbMark- 3 replies
- 187 views
Hello, I am trying to set up Split Tunneling with my VPN. I know that I need to uncheck "Use Default Gateway on the Remote Network". But all the web sites I have gone to show a picture that does not match what I have. The sites I found say to go to your network settings -> TCP/IP Properties -> Advanced button -> And on the General tab uncheck "Use Default Gateway on the Remote Network". I have the other tabs shown in all the pictures, DNS, WINS, Options, but I don't have a General tab. I do, however, have a tab of a different name "IP Settings" but it has no such check box as described. Can anyone provide some insight? Thanks!! --…
