Howdy, Found a cure for our puter not starting completely.. For about 2 years our puter would fail to start 8 out of 10 times and have to do a scan disk to get it working.. Well over the weekend we removed/deleted all references to HP printer tool box and drivers.. Well kiss the frog, the puter now starts every time, fast and completely... Hasn't failed to start once... Who would have thought HP would have been the problem... :o) Rocky T Squirrel

Boot Up Problem with Win ME (AV Related?)
by Guest Ben Alias- 3 replies
- 403 views
I have a friend who has an older computer, running Win ME. He has left town to go to Chicago, but in the mean time a 21-year-old intern has come to live at his place and needs to use his computer. His computer had an old version of Norton AV on it, which was not updated since 2004. So I advised the intern, Ellen, to remove Norton and install AVG instead. She does this. Unfortunately, she is not a computer-savvy person, and previously had only used Macs and XP machines. So, sometime after installing AVG and perhaps after installing Firefox, she starts getting these error messages, which she basically ignores. One of these messages said something about ins…

Spybot Warning
by Guest webster72n- 9 replies
- 578 views
Just curious if anyone else has received this warning message from spybot. The following popped up in a dialog box after finishing the latest update from yesterday, with a red 'x' in the upper left corner: "An outsider did inject malicious code into this application! It is strongly recommended that you do a full check-up of your system, including anti malware and anti virus scans." Personally I am not concerned, with my pc being fully protected at all times. Is this one of those schemes Shane was talking about, or must it be taken seriously? Harry.

Re: Moving My Pictures - Mike M Hi Mike I finally decided I really need to have My Pictures living on my desktop, but before TweakUI will do the deed it pops up this scary warning: "Carelessly changing a special folder may render your system unusable. For example, don't set two special folders equal to each other, or set a special folder equal to a system folder like the Fonts folder. Continue changing special folders?" If I move the My Pictures folder to the desktop it will then reside: inside the Desktop folder, which is inside the Windows folder, which is inside the C: folder; instead of where it is now: inside the My Documents folder which is insid…
