I have an external serial modem that is run through a serial-to-USB converter. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16825134002 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812107956 &Tpk=trendnet%2busb%2bserial It will occationally hang, and the the only way to get back control of the modem is to reboot the computer. When I query to modem from the control panel, it says: "The port that the modem is using is currently open by another application. Exit any application that may currently be using the port." I don't know what could be causing the problem. I have tried disabling all other needless applications that run in the b…

My computer was just worked on and I have the Microsoft Works Suite 2002 loaded, however the Picture It Phote 2002 will not operate. I have removed and reinstalled but it did not help via disc 3. Everything is there, but when I click on a card size, I am kicked out of the program. Can anyone tell me how to repair this? If not, can someone tell me if Microsoft offers another program that operates the same as this one did? The other Microsoft Works Suite 2002 programs work. -- mrs luke

Hi all, I ran into a problem where in my folder structure, I need users to have no write access to the root directory. They need to be able to have read/write access to sub-directories however, and the problem arises when they accidentally move a folder from the root directory into another. They won't be able to move it, because they don't have write access to the root directory, but the contents of the sub directory they've moved have been moved across to the other sub-directory. Is there a way around this? I really need some help. :S Using Windows 2003. Help!

good day all, I have just rebooted my computer, didn't make any changes and got the message that "found new Hardware". I don't know what the USB-Serial is referring too? How can I find out? Thanks, brook

Re: Address Box on toolbar Evening, I've recently "upgraded" to windows XP SP3, and have lost my address bar on the tool bar. I've tried right click > toolbars, but there's no option for the address bar. Any ideas how to get it back? Thanks John

I have a computer that for the most part runs ok. i cannot get into the services window no matter how i try to get there. i always get the "do you want to continue running scripts on this page message" and cannot do anything but end now in task manager which causes the services screen to close. I get this same thing when i try to print an email in outlook express. The scripts error window offers no clues as to what is actually going wrong. I don't know if it is related but, I've also noticed that i can no longer get to the windows update site. Is there anything I can do short of a reinstall of windows xp home? Something new, I tried to do start-run\mmc …

I have one workstation on a network, that whenever I go to reboot it, it gives the error dialog that IEXPLORE.EXE needs to close. After clicking on End Now multiple times, if I cancel the reboot, I can see multiple IEXPLORE.EXE in Task Manager, often a dozen or more instances. What would be causing this behavior, and how can I correct it? I've never seen that on any other workstation before. I'm beginning to wonder whether I should just make Firefox the default browser. XP Pro sp2 w/IE 7 and all updates. Thanks, -- Terry R. ***Reply Note*** Anti-spam measures are included in my email address. Delete NOSPAM from the email address after clickin…

I need to install the above to be able to install Norton 360. I have office 2007 student edition. Will it cause a problem?

A few weeks ago I was using adobe premiere when my computer froze. When it came about after a few minutes it has since not been working properly. Its not as if its particularly slow - programs still fire up just as fast, web pages still load as fast etc. Its almost as if the memory has messed up or something. i can listen to music in wmp if i have nothing else open, but if i have, say, firefox running the music will lag. and will lag even more if i do something as simple as click on a folder in explorer. my whole comp is like this, like i can only use a tiny bit of memory or whatever at once. i can watch a highly compressed video if i have nothing else running, b…

I've been receiving emails from a friend for years and now, all of a sudden, when he sends an email to my @msn.com email address, I don't get it. He said that he gets no notification back to him that the email was not delivered; yet I never recieve it. I've search my MSN email program as best I know and I can't see where his address is blocked from coming to me. Can you help me, as you have done on countless occasions in the past?? Thank You -- George Jurak

So I don't use Outlook at home, and there I am obviously not hooked up to a corporate network. Same thing at school. What I do like, however, is outlook's calender and how it nicely schedules everything. My problem is that every time I try to open outlook, it asks me to specify what network I want to connect to-canceling closes the applications... Is there any way for me to access outlook's calender without dealing with all the network queries? That is, how do I open up outlook without configuring outlook? Thanks!

I am unable to delete Subjects (emails). This just happened. Neither the delete button nor by right clicking the mouse and highlighting delete works. Any help is appreciated. -- Dean Colorado Springs
