    Internet Options security tab not visible

    Hi, joegz. That is just what I needed. Many thanks. (Sadly, however, I wasn't patient enough, and so I am already in the process of deleting and reloading from my Ntbackup archive. That is just as messy as I had feared, but I am getting there :-)) I have saved that link for the next time.

    Internet Options security tab not visible

    I am running Windows2000 Pro, with the user name "austim" (well, not quite 'austim' but fairly similar :-)), in the administrators group. I am the only nominated user on the computer Despite being in the administrators group, when I open Internet Options (either in Control Panel or...

    MS gobbledegook - interpreter needed

    I have just acquired a new problem with IE 6 and Windows 2000 Professional. Now, when I try to open "Add/remove Programs" I get an error message "An unexpected error occurred. Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment res://appwiz.cpl/default.hta Line 77&quot...

    Newbie - USB PC to PC GeneLink file transfer problems.

    HDL1, Perhaps Life wasn't meant to be that easy. :-) Since installing (and uninstalling) the GeneLink File Transfer software on two laptops, the 'Standby' mode for power conservation has become non-functional on both. (One Compaq, one Sony). I now view Genelink less favourably, and am coming...

    Newbie - USB PC to PC GeneLink file transfer problems.

    HDL1, Many thanks for your response. I have now found the solution, which was staring me in the face if only I had read the downloaded user guide in detail. (yes, yes - RTFMProperly.) I now know that a small signal button at the left of the tool bar tells me the state of the connection...

    Newbie - USB PC to PC GeneLink file transfer problems.

    Hi, all. I am a complete newbie trying to set up a small 'network' (ie connect my laptop (Win 98) to my desktop (Win 2K) via the USB ports. Doing my best to understand what my desktop motherboard documentation tells me (amplified by a visit to the Genesys Logic website for the latest...

    spyware problem

    I have closure. I eventually decided that (because of problems with several software packages) I should accept browolf's advice and remove and reinstall Win2000. Which I have now done. So far two of my software problems have apparently been cured, so it has already been worth the trouble...

    spyware problem

    My thanks to you all for your responses. I have made considerable progress, but am not entirely free of C2.lop yet. browolf - yes, my SpyBotS&D is as uptodate as it can be. I really would only want to reformat/reinstall as an absolute last resort. Grenage - I have tried twice to install and...

    spyware problem

    HI, browolf. I should have told you that of course. Yes, I scanned my entire hard disks (all 80 GB) with Vet, updated as of two days ago. Nothing found. I have just run a trial version of "Pest Patrol" which tells me that it found registry entries from Lop.Com. It looks as if my...

    spyware problem

    Minor progress with my amateur detective work. The activity monitor of Tiny Firewall tells me that the process that is causing me trouble is Idzquujo.exe. (All other processes listed up to the time that the unwanted program tries to run are clearly identifiable Windows efiles). But.. there is...

    spyware problem

    Hi, all. I apologise if this is not quite the correct forum for my problem, but this is the nearest that I can find. During a recent overenthusiastic search for some good (and free) metronome software, I somehow managed to download some spyware. I have "Spybot - Search and Destroy&quot...

    Editing *.GPD for old monochrome printer

    HI, all. I believe that I may have fixed my problem (again thanks to PAndersen). I have modified my copy of CNBJ330.GPD, deleted and reinstalled the printer, and satisfactorily printed two documents which I had never been able to print before without the unwanted extra linefeeds between some...

    Editing *.GPD for old monochrome printer

    Hi, PAndersen. Thanks for your speedy response. I submitted my post, went out for a brief visit to our local Greek coffee shop, and when I got back, there was your link - absolutely brilliant. I now have some serious homework to do :-)

    Editing *.GPD for old monochrome printer

    One of my printers is a Canon BJ 330, which has done trojan service in printing engineering drawings (A3 size) for me since I first bought it 10 years ago. Mechanically it is still sound, but I have recently come up against a difficulty. Since I installed Windows 2000 pro (which has its own...

    Absolutely basic text problem

    Mike, I suspect that I cannot be the first to say this, but you are a genius [smarty] [medal]. If only I had asked before, I would have saved myself much personal distress. Thanks greatly. Tim.
