Thanks again dude. whats the best firewall out there do u know? Also for protection? thanks for the reply. THANKS AGAIN.flameking... There are a lot of free firewall software out there...and Comodo comes highly recommended. evilfantasy has a resource guide listed here: Malware Resources If you scroll down that page you'll find the Firewall category. Personally...I use the Windows firewall along with my router's hardware firewall and additional malware software...so I'm pretty well protected. I've used Comodo before, but as with any new software...make sure you research before making the commitment. |

Solve : Opening Email attachments? |
|
Answer» I use Outlook Explorer 6 on Windows 2000. When opening an Email attachment I got the "Open With" window, Selected Adobe Reader 9 and then stupidly clicked "Always use this program to open attacments". Now attachments other than pdf files will not open, and I do not find the window where I can reverse this INSTRUCTION. Can SOMEBODY please help me.If you right CLICK on a document type, i.e. Word (the one you chose to use pdf with as well) and choose properties, you can select there which program to use as the default for that media type.Thanks pcwizard for the advice. However I still do not seem to GET it right. Where should I right click on document type as you suggest? When for example I try to open a .jpg file I get the screen that asks if I want to Open or Save to Disk. If I select Open it goes by default to Adobe Reader which does not recognise the file type and to open the file I must first save it in a temporary folder. Am I missing something? I no longer get the screen which gives me the "Open with" option.Instead of changing the file ASSOCIATION in the email app do it from Search....do a search for *.jpg......in the results pane right clik any of the files and do it from there.You don't even need to search for the files if you already have one to click on. Right click the file and choose properties (at the bottom) then at the top choose 'Change' under 'open with' section |

Solve : Under Cover XP help? |
|
Answer» I am runnind Under Cover XP Program to make Lables fore my CDs and DVDs. What I meen is when you buy Lables they will be say Two to a page. How do I tell Under Cover XP ware to print eatch Lable?? I don't use Under Cover but isn't the print position dictated by the form being used? See the attachment Forms.jpg - it seems Under Cover limits the form use to just two forms manufacturers. Quote I see everything for telling Under Cover XP how big to print the Wholes and how big to print the DVDs Lable but not how to Put them down and how many to put on a Page. Isn't the number of images on a page controlled by setting up the Left and Right pages then checking the BOX to print on a single page? See Before & After jpg's below. [attachment deleted by admin] |

Solve : Numbering won't restart in MS Word? |
|
Answer» I am a very experienced Word user but I am frustrated by an issue I can't FIGURE out. Whenever I am creating a document containing lists (which is pretty much every document I work with) and I have to start a new list, I highlight the text and go to Format>Bullets and Numbering and select Restart Numbering. The weird thing is that the list does not restart numbering but picks up where the last list left off UNTIL I click the undo button on the toolbar. Once I do that, everything RENUMBERS properly. Of course, this works fine, but the thing that bothers me is that it shouldn't - and I'm one of these people who - due to my experience - should be able to explain why this happens. Also I'm nagged by the fact that I shouldn't have to do this, there is OBVIOUSLY a setting somewhere that overrides the intial command and I want to know what it is.IIRC there has been an unresolved glitch in versions of Word since NINETEEN canteen, but the following article on the Word MVP site may be useful: |

Solve : Windows Media File Sharing failure on my computer!? |
|
Answer» Hi everyone, this is my first post here, and I please hope that you GUYS can help me out here. The problem started yesterday, literally right after I downloaded internet explorer 8 to my computer (if you are wondering, I use vista). After the download and restart, everything seemed to be ok with my computer, until I wanted to stream some music from windows media player through my Xbox 360 while I was playing. I then get a message that says it cant connect to my computer, and to check my media sharing settings. I try to enable it again, and it says there might be a firewall problem. I disable my firewalls, try it again, and it still wont go through. I did ANYTHING and everything I could think of, even one of my good friends (whos the IT department director at his job) tried everything he could and it didnt work. My Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 cant even connect to my computer through my network anymore, its as if my computer is invisible to everything. He said to copy the WMP settings from another Vista enabled computer, which I will do, but it is probably my last and best shot. I tried to run system restore, but my computer has no real usable restore points, so that didnt work. What should I do? Uninstall IE8 I tried to run system restore, but my computer doesn't even set up.What does that mean? What EXACTLY happens when you try to do a system restore? Have you tried rebooting the router yet?I cant uninstall IE8 and go back to IE7, I tried many times, and my friend said it wasnt possible to do that anyway. System restore didnt work cause there were no restore points, and rebooting the router doesnt work, I just tried it. When you open control panel and select Add/Remove Programs make sure there is a check mark next to "show updates" near the top of the screen. Can you see IE8 now? Quote my friend is the IT department director at his job and said it wasnt possible to do that anywayReally?? http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2817/how_to_uninstall_ie8/Hm, I see that I can uninstall it, but wont it crash my system? My friend said that it was so integrated into Vista that it could cause a lot of problems if I did it.I've never had that happen. What does your friend do again? Does he work with/on windows computers?Hes the head of the IT department where he works, and he works with windows all the time. Another thing, if I uninstall IE8 on my computer, how do I get IE7 back on? Is it already in the computer?Quote from: JJ 3000 on March 21, 2009, 01:13:03 AM It should just roll back to 7 If you are hesitant about removing it, just create a restore point in system restore before you do it. Ok, I'll try it out tomorrow, I gotta get some SLEEP. I'll let you know if it fixes the problem.I tried it, and it worked. Thanks a lot for the advice man.Way to go! Line dance time |

Solve : Computer Backup. How do I ?? |
|
Answer» How do I SAVE and keep safe all my stuff I've put on my computer ? it's my first computer. a Compaq Presario SR1500NX with the 2nd service pack. when I first started using it someone from support walked me through the steps of saving everything onto 10 CD-R discs. so I have those, now I'm wanting to save all my digital photo's, scanned images, videos and all the USUAL stuff we collect on these things. I tried following an article by Ed Bott. "Windows XP Backup Made Easy" but when it asks to insert my Windows XP CD I not only can't find such a disc I don't remember if it ever had one. all I could find was "Works8 & Microsoft Money" I'm guessing that's not the disc we need. |

Skinning is EASY but it doesn't have the power and features as the others out now. Even Real and Windows Media Player is as old but still going strong. Winamp is LIKE a cool friend but you don't want to date the person. You don't want to use it for your media.

Solve : how to deactivate Outlook auto start up? |
|
Answer» every time I enter or edit email addresses in a document or spreadsheet and click on an email by mistake, Outlook starts up. It's annoying and really slows me down. Does anyone know how to turn that off? Thank you!What Office Suite do you use?thanks for your REPLY. I use Office 2003The only thing I came across is this, if you're using Word: Highlight the whole text with your mouse. (Or, you can also press CTRL+A.)thank you very much. It doesn't seem to work. Outlook still starts up. but thanks anyway. In Word, go to Tools, Options, Edit, and check the box for "Use CTRL + Click to follow hyperlink". The same option is not available in Excel. When using Excel, if you use arrow keys to move into a cell containing a hyperlink, that will not open Outlook, as long as you don't click on the link. You can also right click on a link in Excel and select Remove Hyperlink. It will remain removed until you put the cell in Edit mode and hit Enter. Thanks a lot Soybean. Deactivating a hyperlink in a cell works fine, but it's only POSSIBLE for one cell. Most spreadsheets have hundreds of email addresses, and even though I navigate with arrow keys, it's still very likely to click on an hyperlink by mistake and set Outlook off. Happens to me all the time. I have not found a WAY to format/deactivate hyperlinks for a whole column or spreadsheet. I tried doing it in one cell, then using the format copy key to apply the same format to other cells, but it wont' take. deactivating just one cell at a time is too time consuming. If you have any other thoughts, would love to hear them. Thank again. Maybe there's a way in XP to switch off Outlook as the default email PROGRAM for all applications? Even when I click on an email address on a website, it comes up - often I prefer to use gmail anyway. I figured out how to do it: very SIMPLE: in the START menu, go to "Set Program Access and Default", which is the icon right under Control Panel in Windows XP. There, you can go to the Windows setting and change the default email program. |

It's easy to start with "gadget" and devices that are stress-free, but the more we INTERCONNECT, the more we have the software do, the more chances for something to GO wrong. There are many examples of systems that are working fine one day, and then, simply because SOMEONE adds or removes software, they have problems. "I loaded this game on my COMPUTER, and now my iPod won't sync" -- that sort of thing. Thanks for all the help. Found that its a software problem. Thanks again for all the input. What did you find, Jaf? Some of us might learn something, here! |

Solve : How to record streaming radio? |
|
Answer» I LOVE to listen to internet radio. But I don't have internet access at HOME so what I want is to record the show and listen at night. I tried different softwares but none of it worked. The free softwares I used could not record the streaming AUDIO from the sound card but record voices from out side and Microphone. Is there any way to solve this problem? Please help , I am using Dell XPS M1330, OS: Vista Home Premium. THANK you, Use Audacity. First, you have to make sure your sound is SET up right. Double Click the Sound icon in the System Tray so you get to its advanced properties. Make sure 'Stero Mix' and the other sliders are up on full and unmuted and try it. |

Answer» Quote from: evilfantasy on MARCH 17, 2009, 12:20:34 PM I would try Windows Updates first. what one do I download? ok so I downloaded .net file and it still hasnt gone away I also may think that something could be wrong. For all of a sudden my computer is acting strangely. Blue Screen/Freezing randomly. EDIT: Hey Im going out to dinner im gonna leave me computer on and see if anything happens while im gone. CyaPost a fresh HJT log.here buddy [attachment deleted by admin]Have HJT fix this entry: O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Alcmtr] ALCMTR.EXE Quote Realtek AC97 Audio - Event Monitor. "Sypware" file used surreptitiously monitor one's actions. It is not a sinister one, like remote control programs, but it is being used by Realtek to gather data about customers ---------- I don't seee anything RELATED to the .Net Framework that we can use HJT to fix. To resolve this, download Autoruns for Windows and search for the related entry and then delete it.
Have HJT fix this entry: I'll begin on the second part in a few minutes but why is Realtek monitoring my actions? Also Does it matter where I place this folder??? Anywere specific or just on my main hardrive? ThanxJust place it in a folder somewhere. Realtek is installed by default, it's completely unnecessary and can be safely removed with HJT.Quote from: evilfantasy on March 17, 2009, 04:25:25 PM Just place it in a folder somewhere.cant find anything Ill take a second look in a bit.Try installing this. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=a05ce727-c5b5-4022-b7a0-d8861ce99209&displaylang=enQuote from: evilfantasy on March 17, 2009, 05:11:47 PM Try installing this. aye It wont download The link leads me to a file cannot be found page.Worked for me even in Firefox. >>>CLICK HERE<<<ok im gonna try it again.

Solve : Removing AVG 8.0? |
|
Answer» Sorry for not updating regularly Broni but life has been very HECTIC lately. Here is the latest: I downloaded the AVG free file you gave the link to. It tells me that AVG 7 is INSTALLED on this system and it is not recommended to install AVG 8. WITHOUT first removing AVG 7. Choose the Uninstall optionI have only been able to update my free version of AVG once, it never allows me to update.OK. Give me fresh HJT log.I'm sorry Broni but I said in my last post that the AVG Free installer doesn't have the uninstall option. It only has the new install option listed. Try Revo: http://www.revouninstaller.com/I had the same issue... Tried almost everything (disbling services, regedits, you name it...), except.... I was like: Surfing till my eyes are crossed and no-one a solution on my errors, trying to uninstall / reinstall AVG? I did the unthinkable (meaning: I never thought of it!) I searched for: avg UNINSTALLER... Et voila! Where do I find a tool for it? at AVG itself! It's called AVG Remover Run the program and perfectly, everything is gone If you need it you can find it at: http://www.avg.com/download-tools Hope this will help others as well |

Solve : cant get image out of floppy? |
|
Answer» I saved PICTURES from a digital camera onto my floppy disks. I can open all but 2 images. the images do not fully load. they are there because when i go to print, it shows the whole image but a lot smaller. How can i load that image fully?, please HELP, very important imageUnfortunately when an image doesn't fully load it's OFTEN an indication that the image is corrupt. However, if that was the case I'd ASSUME that it wouldn't be printing the full image either. Try saving the image files to the hard disk drive and open the images from there. |

Solve : New AV?? |
|
Answer» I'm not one of them.... Used AVG until version 8...like Broni said, it's BLOATED. Tried Avast & got too many false POSITIVES. Have been using Avira FREE & have had no problems with it so far. It is much easier to use than the OTHERS as well. Tried Avast & got too many false positives. That is because it now detects keygens/cracks The new one is supposed to rememedy that I used to have Norton 360 and other Norton PRODUCTS in the past, but had enough of it about a year ago. I've been using Avast Free Home Edition for awhile now on several of our computers. I have no problem with it. |

Solve : Problem installling Office 2007? |

Answer» I have Office 2007, both on an official Microsoft retail DVD and as a downloaded file. At first I could not perform a clean INSTALL of it on my Vista laptop, but I INSTALLED Office 2003 and then used the DVD to upgrade it, so I then had Office 2003 and Office 2007 side by side. Just this evening I removed Office 2003. I have Office 2007, both on an official Microsoft retail DVD and as a downloaded file. At first I could not perform a clean install of it on my Vista laptop, but I installed Office 2003 and then used the DVD to upgrade it, so I then had Office 2003 and Office 2007 side by side.Then, that was not an upgrade, it was a full installation of Office 2007, along with Office 2003. A true upgrade would have left you with only Office 2007. Quote from: MBP1982 on March 12, 2009, 11:40:01 PM I have Office 2007, both on an official Microsoft retail DVD and as a downloaded file.Why do have Office 2007 from two sources? Did you buy it twice? From whom did you buy it (for both DVD and download)? Did you pay a normal price for it or was this one of those super low priced deals that SOMETIMES appear on the Internet? I bought it from my school store - it was a download, and I also opted for a 'backup' disk, of which was Office 2007 'unlicensed'. It's genuine Microsoft SOFTWARE, as it says so on the packaging and on the disk. Anyway, I chose to repair the installation through 'Add/Remove Programs' and rebooted, and it is working fine now. |
