Re: The Color 'Red' is missing
by Guest webster72n- 2 replies
- 438 views
Re: The Color 'Red' is missing FIPO: The missing color red was not the cause of my failing monitor, but the setting 'without restart after a color change', which can affect certain programs, in this case the display itself, triggered the discrepancy. Choosing to restart after a color change instead, eliminated my problem entirely on the spot. Quite a learning experience, when considering it worked for so long. Thanks for all positive contributions. Harry.

Vista/w2k8/Aero etc
by Guest Shane- 9 replies
- 672 views
Well, I think I've reached a conclusion - in a telling timeframe. I think the Aero theme is very well done. That glassy look, more so with the Sidebar running, is superb - the best cosmetic job Microsoft have ever done (imo)! And when I had the Sidebar running, I put gadgets on it giving top to bottom - the countdown to the release of Server 2008, the Vista Orb clock, a small BBC News 24 feed - continuous live BBC News playing on the desktop in a tiny, little box - bloody marvellous! In the same category as having music playing while you work or surf? Beneath that I had - lets see...oh yes, a weather feed, set for this town and visually responding to the …

Unauthorized credit card use 1 2
by Guest Justin Thyme- 29 replies
- 1.9k views
Quite recently I was alerted by my credit card company that there appeared to be several unusual charges on my account (for which I thanked them profusely). My wife and I have our identically-numbered cards in our possession, so I knew they hadn't been lost. I know well that when one hands his card to a server in a restaurant, for example, one temporarily loses all control over any security he may have had, and that's a definite possibility. I also know that there are keylogger programs that may exist on my computer (although I don't know how they might have got there). My suspicion was raised a notch when Alwil's avast! antivirus program detected a Trojan …

Ad-aware Plus 2007
by Guest shanebeatson@gmail.com- 8 replies
- 580 views
Okay, I don't like saying 'I was right' - after all it usually means something negative. But I was - Lavasoft have gone back on the promise of lifelong updates to those who bought Ad-aware Plus back in, in my case, late-2000. They call it a different product - as I predicted they would - which those like myself may - whoopee do! - upgrade to at a 40% discount! Funny, because it's going to cost them more than they save with this cheap attempt to renege on the original deal they made with, among doubtless many others, me. It really is time everybody realized businesses in the security field that renege on their deals are as bad as the people they supposedly p…

WinME suggestions wanted..
by Guest Ogg- 7 replies
- 625 views
I am looking for advice on transferring an existing WinME system to another (preferrably NEW) set of hardware. I have an older WInME pc (which I was planning to retire and "convert" to Linux) but I feel that the whole pc needs serious replacement. Particularly, the video subsystem is showing age (at boot up the characters are jumbled(1), and sometime the screen boots to BLANK(2)). I can fix (1) with a simple ctrl-alt-del at bootup. But when (2) happens, it's the most annoying since the next boot is only possible in SafeMode and 16 colours! The latter happend recently; I ended up re-installing the older WinME drivers for the video card - and it wasn't easy! (o…

Help with Spybot (if you can & don't mind)

Ran Spybot tonight (does an automatic update) Downloaded update info file. (http://www.safer-networking.org/updates/spybotsd.ini) Afterwards... Error message reads: "There were problems in the include file C:\PROGRAM FILES\SPYBOT - SEARCH_DESTROY\Includes|Beta.sbi See 'Includes errors log' for details" After I press on 'OK', the program runs. The 'Includes errors' file reads: "C:\PROGRAM FILES\SPYBOT - SEARCH & DESTROY\Includes\Beta.sbi | Goldun.IESwap | <$LOCALSETTINGS>\Temp\axC945.tmp C:\PROGRAM FILES\SPYBOT - SEARCH & DESTROY\Includes\Beta.sbi | Goldun.IESwap | <$LOCALSETTINGS>\Temp\na1ECE.tmp" Did a reboot, same error message. …

If this is the wrong 'forum', please let me know and also where to turn. Since I'm using WinME, I figured it would be worth a try: In Properties/Settings under 'Colors' the color red is now completely missing, while at first it sporadically changed back to 'normal' with all colors present. This makes the display appear greenish and the former blue purplish. Otherwise no changes. It seemed to coincide with the loss of my 'WinZip' (just a guess). Does this indicate the monitor going bad'? Or is the cause somewhere else? If it can be fixed, please let me know. Harry.

hello all,, specially heather the 'hill roaming tourist'. hi guys, if you recall, i mentioned a couple of weeks ago that i was having problems getting adaware updated, it would get to 5% then simply say Error. since then i have re-installed it many times, but i still get the same flipping error,,,,,,,,, its like a boomerang, just keeps coming back. as it stands now, it seems i am 794days out of whack with updates,, which is to naturally be expected after new install. am i missing something, or is it now impossible to use adaware unless one updates to the 'troublesome' 2007 version??? i refuse to put this one on due to the many problems i've hear…
