Double click on the lil green boxes to make them open up the task manager?

Sounds like the explorer.exe shell is corrupted.. it sounds wierd, but windows uses explorer as both a file manager and the shell (ie start menu, desktop icons, etc). I've never had it happen to me, but there is probably a repair method somewhere. Sounds like a format would probably be a good...

I'm not sure if that would find it, because it's not really "spyware", it's (usually illegally) installed for that purpose and has the permission of the person who installed it. Only real way is to do a ctrl-alt-del, make sure it shows all the tasks, and google every single running process to...

Yup probably cheaper and easier just to buy an "older" combo pack, because a 1.2 gig cpu probably doesn't have motherboards around anymore, so you would need to hunt one down. Oh, and make sure that your old ram would work if you do decide to upgrade the motherboard, because it might not...

Yup if you have onboard video, you can just install it like this: 1) line the card up with an empty pci slot; make sure you have metal "tab" off so you can plug the monitor in at the back 2) gently (but firmly) insert the card by pressing down 3) screw it in 4) reboot computer, go to...

Yea check the emails closely, maybe contact the provider to mention it and see what's up. Also don't forget that a lot of spam gets sent to look like it was sent from you and it failed the delivery, you might want to check the header and see if it actually bounced, or it's just some spam. I...

I'm going to wait until Xmas break from University before I play it. I'm hoping theres a way I can mod it to play the game with old iron.. you could do it in the older games. I heard that you have to rice out the looks of the car to get "style" points, to earn prestige as a racer. Yikes...

I checked out the source, and there are a lot of combo words that are in the meta tag (ie "marine services"). I know this sounds dumb, but I've found it best to be as redundant as possible, so in those cases you might want to have "marine services", "marine", "services", and "marine service"...

You might want to contact quicken directly for this one.. would be more helpful then I could, as I have never used the software. :)

To test your ram try the program at www.memtest86.com Will definitely let you pinpoint or eliminate the ram as a problem. Also if you write down the exact BSOD information when it first crashes, we might be able to help as well.

Ding ding!

Looks to me like a typical popup to try to make you click an okay button.. It's an IE window saying that, and I have *never* seen or heard of IE doing anything except getting virii, not stopping them. Plus its talking about the rpc exploit/virus (the blaster worm thing that hit bad awhile...

Time to update definitions and do a full scan.. I'm confused as to the sender was internet explorer 6 or the subject..?

We should try to get that up to 231.

Those songs are actually shared by the riaa & other copyright/anti-piracy agencies.. pretty good way to deter the average user from downloading songs.

... no comment on stupidity of said customer...

I believe the gmhightech website actually has/had the articles available online.. I know I ended up getting part2 in a magazine and printing part 1. You could probably score it in a google cache if you want to take a look.

You might want to pull all of those songs out of the shared folder.. you never know, you could be one of the unlucky ones who gets sued by the RIAA.

Just hopping in to say striker_29 is dead on so far, so listen to him... (not going to add more because hes doing a good step by step job) :)

Not really much of a laptop guy, but in general most laptop models are pretty standard.. if it says the brand a build anywhere on the laptop, try googling that.
