  14. make sure file and printer sharing is enabled on all pc's. change the workgroup name to something different, mshome is just the default doesnt mean they are in the same workgroup. yes you should be able to ping from any computer to any other computer. regardless of the workgroup, if they are connected to the same router... have you tried manuall configuring all ip's..make sure dns and default gateway is the routers ip.subnets should be the same really. check your internet explorer connection settings make sure they are using lan not dial up.....in lan settings untick "automatically detect connection settings" regards danzil

  21. if you are not using wireless then either disable it or setup encryption do not leave it open,,,this will be in the manual. if you are indeed running it through ethernet cables then it will be secure, but check your settings, like blocking ping, and other attacks....usually on by default though regards danzil
  22. try running all the clean up tools first,,,,defrag etc,online virus scan (avg isnt the safest out there) http://www.trendmicro.com, scan for spy/mailware http://www.ewido.com. see if that improves it. regards danzil
  23. the only way i know to do this is to, use tweak progs like tweakui etc,,,or hex editing explorer.exe. not to be done if you do not know what you are doing. regards danzil
  24. also try vga mode,this will change the reolution and may possible allow you into xp to do a restore.or try last known good configuraion that also may work.... regards danzil.
