This may sound kinda silly, but just to make sure the netgear isn't the issue, if you remove it from the loop, and just plug in your pc to your cable modem (or DSL, or whatever), can you get to Hotmail again? I know it sounds funny, but sometimes that …

I have seen similar problems in the past w/ some of my boxes. I found doing windows updates helped me out. This may not help, but it is worth a try. Good luck!

The first thing I would try would be to send email from aol to your hotmail accounts. does that work? It sounds like the problem may not be with your account, but maybe a hotmail or aol issue (then again, I am always a bit quick to blame microsoft :-) …

In an attempt to procrastinate homework (and to pass the time while compiling apache and php most recently) I have been posting a bit around here, so I figured it was time for me to properly introduce myself: Oh, and for fun I added a couple extra items to the …

Courtney: This may sound counter-intuitive, however try this: Re-install AVG, and then uninstall AVG. Hopefully, by reinstalling, shell.dll (should) be put back in place. Then an uninstall (again, should) go without a hitch. Good luck!

It sounds like you have some spyware that is trying to communicate with its parent server. I would recommend running Spybot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware (these two software packages are complimentary). Both are free, and can be downloaded from [url]www.download.com[/url]. Be sure when downloading you have the real …

[QUOTE=ajuser1]When I try to get on the internet through MSN explorer, the screen states that it is redialing, then states "Could not log in to internet explorer, there may be a problem with their service or my connection". What can I do?[/QUOTE] Well, there are a couple of things you …

If Defrag couldn't even get pask checking your disk, perhaps your Hard Drive has some errors on it/bad sectors. From Safe Mode you could try running Scandisk first, and then running defrag. Good luck!

Being a Linux user at home (and a windows user at work) I too missed the google toolbar. However, after security problems with IE, I abandonded IE for [URL=http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox]Mozilla's Firefox[/URL]. Recently I have been playing with Firefox extensions, and found [URL=http://update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&id=33&vid=34]The Firefox GoogleBar[/URL] , which not only lets you search …

I would concur with the other posts, that learning multiple languages makes the most sense. If you havn't programmed much, I would recommend starting with an easy language. Python is by far the easiest language I have seen -- and it is powerful. NASA, RedHat, and Google use python, and …

I am not entirely sure this will work (I don't have a windows laptop in front of me) but running ipconfig /all from the command line might tell you what you need to know. Do this: *Click on the start button. *go to run *type "cmd" (without the quotes) and …

Hi all. I have a dead pen drive on my hands. It is a Sony MicroVault (USM128U2), and it only is recognized as a "security device" by windows (with do drivers available . . . ) I cannot even mount it under linux. I have spent hours googling around for …

I would agree, you need antivirus software and a firewall. There are free antivirus software packages around, but I would spend the $40.00 for Norton Antivirus (IMHO: The interface is much more userfriendly than McAfee) Make sure you do updates at least every week on your antivirus software. For firewalls, …

If I understand you right, your mom's PC is 'dual booting': meaning when you turn it on, it will ask if you want to boot into Win2k or WinME, right? Also, as I understand you, the CD drives do not work in ME, but do in Win2k, yes? If this …
