Internet Certificates Gone

- 265 views
So my dad was messing around with his machine and somehow ended up changing the time far enough in the future that all his certificates expired. At least so he tells me. So now whenever he goes to any website with any browser, he is constantly pestered with invalid certificate messages. How can I get the default certificates back?

Hi, We have a customer running Windows XP sr3. The computer is on a small network (Windows sbs). The profiles on all computers are local. Customer reported that the customer lost his profile.

Seems like the normal function of the "CTRL ALT DELETE" key stroke has changed. Before when they are used it brought up a screen with three tabs. Now it only brings up one screen. Its the END PROCESS screen listing all proceses running with the % used by each program. The top tab with the simple list of open programs and the third tab are gone. Can anyone explain what happened?

- 241 views
I am using a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop computer, running Windows XP Pro w/sp 3. When attempting to install a Kyocera KPC650 wireless broadband card my computer immediately shuts down to a blue screen. I have updated everything that can be updated; have installed the card on another computer (to make sure it works), and spoke with the card manufacturer. The only help I am able to find is how to get the blue screen from appearing. I know how to keep the blue screen from appearing (dont install the card), what I would like to know is how I can get the card to work in my computer.

Downloading Updates 33% for ages.
by Guest Weatherlawyer- 6 replies
- 339 views
I have a yellow shield in my system tray stating that I am downloading updates. No idea from where. Presumably MS updates but why is it stuck at 33% it's been like that for a while. I have nVidia firewall that came with the computer and Avast free antivirus. I would have thought that WinPatrol or SpyBot would have warned me of any problems. Nothing from any of the above. I have the updates scheduler set to download and then let me choose what I want from it. Thanks to all in advance.

I still can't log in on normal mode, it always log me in in the system default profile, for the mean time its' building up enormous temp user folders in the s…

How can I save a Google satellite map image
by Guest Walter R.- 3 replies
- 261 views
Sorry, if this is OT. Kindly refer me. I looked up an address in Google (not Google Earth). Showed a real nice close-up of my house. I tried to copy the satellite map image to My Pictures. Did not work. If I send it by e-mail, it disappears. If I right-click the map, there is no provision for saving the image. Is there a special trick to it? Thanks -- Walter http://www.rationality.net -
