I've been using AVG on everything for years now. The first thing I do with a new computer is get Norton or McAfee off it. Nine times out of ten when I've had problems getting a computer to network the problem has cleared up once I got McAfee or Norton off it. They keep computers from getting...

While there is nothing wrong with the Crucial memory tool, you can also use the memory tool on the Newegg website. When it tells you what the specs are for the memory you need, it then tells you what memory they have that meets those specs. Look at the ratings on the Newegg site. There is a...

I had this problem a while back, and couldn't remember what was doing it. Finally came to me just now, but this probably isn't your problem. I had my mp3 player plugged into a usb port. When I unplugged it, the problem went away.

Does it keep on rebooting without ever actually opening, or does it open without giving you the logon window? The reasons for the two scenarios are different, and I don't want to give you the explanation for one of it really is the other.

So...specifically what kinds of problems are you seeing? Is it the same problem? Lots of different problems? Things that you can definitely say, "The cause is SP3" or problems you don't know what the reason is, so blaming it on SP3 is handy? Is it the same problem already cited that occurs...

And as has been stated earlier, HP is telling owners of AMD based computers not to install XP SP3. I have installed SP3 on 2 intel based HPs so far, with no problems. My Toshiba laptop did have problems getting it downloaded, but once it did everything went fine.

I ordered my Fusion about a month after they were first introduced, in order to get exactly what I wanted, in the color I wanted it. My local dealer (small town dealership), got his initial Fusion along with every other Ford/Mercury dealer in the country and quickly sold it (it didn't have what...

My daughter has Verizon, and has been dealing with the same problem with rolling due dates. Her contract is up, and she leaves the country for 2 years in Guyana at the end of this month, so she's just putting up with it until then.

I started off with Southwestern Bell, which then became Cingular, then moved from Missouri to Nebraska, where Cingular was not available at the time. Switched to ATT, which about the time we moved to Iowa became Cingular, which of course is now back to being ATT. When we moved to our small...

Before you spend the money, are you sure you really need one of these? If you do, I have a couple of friends who are long haul truckers who say they do work. However, I looked at getting one a few years ago and decided to try the less expensive option first. From my very first 3 w bag phone...

I have a 2006 Fusion, and got every option they offered in that year except the sunroof. I'm 6'5" and need all the head and leg room I can get. I have found virtually no sunroof equipped car that would work. I get really tired of 5'5" salesmen telling me the sunroof doesn't effect headroom...

It is possible for wireless phones and other electronic equipment to disrupt the signal. It depends on what frequency they are operating at. A microwave oven can also disrupt the signal. However, my own experience is that wireless phones aren't really that big a problem. For several years my...

No_Brains, you say the signal is not as good as you would like, but it would help to know some more details. How far away from the device sending the signal is your laptop? Is the signal ok when you are in the same room? How many walls does the signal have to travel through? Floors? Most...

CCleaner won't actually take programs off your computer. It cleans out all the cookies, temp files, that kind of thing. That's the first step. Then it cleans out the registry, cleaning out bits that were left behind when you deleted or installed a program, or installed an update. Just...

Here's another good little program. AusLogics Disk Defrag. If you don't want to take the time the windows defrag does, this will defrag a hd in a fraction of the time. I have run this, and then run windows defrag, and the full defrag found very little to move.

A few weeks ago I hooked her computer back up to a monitor for a temporary situation. I forgot about the S-video issue until I was hooking it back up with no tv with an S-video input miles from home. I had to go through some real gymnastics to get it functioning. I really missed my Toshiba...

I use ccleaner. Regularly. Depending on what I am doing I sometimes run it several times a day. Just to keep any cookies I happened to pick up cleaned out.

Looking at the nVidia website and the links to suggested/certified power supplies, the units certified for the 3 way SLI supply between 1100-1250W. Dang, and here I am limping along with my 6800 GT. :(:D

My daughter is currently living with us while she waits for the Peace Corps to medically clear her, again (long story). Since we already had four computers in the house, she asked if I could hook her's into the home theater so she could play her ripped cds. Being an accommodating dad, I did...

I'll second BryanSR. Not only do they cost more initially, and cost more to fix and maintain (and if you are into it, much more difficult to fix yourself), but they are much more likely to require fixing. My assumption is that the heat kills them. So much jammed into so little space leaves...

It makes a big difference what the "few games" are. If the games are solitaire, it doesn't make much difference. If the games are the latest versions of Fear and Far Cry (just to mention a few of my favorites), your needs are quite different. Along with the fastest processor you can afford...

The last thing I'm going to do is click on an email link for someone who claims to have a thousand and one viruses.

I have my doubts that it is a satellite signal, because if someone has a "leaky" box, it should only be leaking/transmitting the signal that the box is tuned to. That's the reason for the question as to whether Kmoser's friends can change channels, or if they can only get what the person who is...

I have the Linksys WRT54G, without the speedbooster, and don't have any problems with it, at least not with my laptops. When I had my wife's computer using a wireless card, across the room, we had problems with it disconnecting. However, the problem was with the sleep mode on her computer, not...

As Don said, B, if it is a good connection, is "fast" enough for anything you get off the internet. It doesn't matter if you have speeds of 100 meg, if your internet connection is only giving you a 5 meg download speed. It might make a difference if you are transferring files on a Lan, but not...
