Hi guys! My friend experienced the following problem: He was connected to the internet. The connection is simple dsl connection, the computer was connected directly to the adsl modem. He starts the Outlook Express, and the connection breaks. Then he called me :D So I dischecked the checkbox in the OE at the account settings in connections tab, that always connect to this account using ... and I set up the internet options connections tab, to never dial a connection. But the OE is still breaks the internet connection when it is opened. What else could I do or is there any ideas what can be a problem with that. Thanx. Zs0lt1

Desktop Icons Missing at Startup HOTFIX KB948277

It appears explorer.exe is not starting when some of our users logon. They can get it to start by using task manager. I found a hotfix supplied by Microsoft (list above), but although the install finishes, the KB log indicates the following: 8.047: KB948277 Setup encountered an error: The update.ver file is not correct. This started with just a few users, now its creeping through the network. Its not a virus, and now other office (not on our network) are having the same issue. Any help is appreciated.

Free Antivirus suggestions
by Guest Navyguy- 19 replies

I have a Dell Dimension 8200 with XP SP2, DSL and presently have AVG, Comodo, SpywareBlaster, and Hive Cleanup as well as System Mechanic. I'm on a fixed income and really can't afford to buy too much. Within a day or so my free AVG version will no longer be supported and I was wondering if there is another free version I could use? Avast? Kaspersky? I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks, Robert

Where do update files sit?

Hi. I need to format my machine but by doing so I will obviously lose all the automatic updates that have been installed for the last three years. I use automatic updates and was wondering where they sat on my PC - so that I could copy them and then reinstall them after formatting - if I have to download them all agin my bandwidth will be lost for months!!!. Many thanks Amanda

http://www.dessouserotic.com/index.php Lingerie, est le terme utilisé pour désigner l'ensemble des sous-vêtements et des vêtements de nuit . Elle se caractérise par des tissus fins, lavables, brodés ou garnis de dentelles. La lingerie d'aujourd'hui se veut fonctionnelle et élégante. Douce, soyeuse, légère ou transparente, elle est pour de nombreuses femmes un atout de séduction. La lingerie sexy doit résoudre le paradoxe : cacher ce que l'on montre et montrer ce que l'on cache.

Date mysteriously changing.
by Guest Amanda- 4 replies
- 182 views
For some unknown reason the date in my XP Pro SP2 "Date & Time Properties" has suddenly decided to change the current day to a date 8 days ahead. Why - heavens knows. I can select the date - click "apply" and then one second later literally watch the highlighted date gently change from the current day to 8 days ahead. I've tried everything I can think of - does anyone have any ideas because it is a bit awkward sending mails etc as it looks as if I'm in the future. Many thanks.

When I click on My computer, Control Panel, Windows Explorer among others, the screen flashes (icons and apps are gone but the background stays), comes back but neither of those work. I can access control panel directly by running appwiz.cpl. I've created a new user profile to weed out profile corruption but the issue stays.
