Thanks for responding...I think I used that tool. In any case if it's not already in my program file, I'll try again. But I think now I've got everything the way I need it EXCEPT: now I have two firewalls open at the same time, and since the windows firewall is not open, the other must be the...

Hi: Thanks for reading this thread. I removed an expired Norton 360 program to replace with another vendor's security suite. Although the Norton 360 is gone for all I can tell, my Remote Desktop won't allow a remote user in. When I click on "Security" in Control Panel (Win XP) I find that the...

Hi: Someone said "I think I put the cartridge in wrong the first time." and the printer has an error message "Unable to Clean..." 1a. I have determined as well as I can that there are no faxes waiting to be sent. 1b. There are no paper jams. Those were the recommended fixes when I downloaded...

Thanks, chronics. No, it doesn't lock up in Safe Mode! Can you guide me from there to a fix? Gus Brunston

Thanks for so many ideas, and especially endorsing what I had been thinking about, a clean install. When I get this done, I'll post my resolution(s) here. Gus Brunston

Hi: I maintain a computer system and MS Access application for a Real Estate Property Management Company. My setup: 5 computers on an LAN, peer to peer network (if that's what "no domain" means). Operating system: Win XP Pro My problem: The computer that I use as a file server locks up after...

Hi: I tried to reconfigue my Outlook 2003 to send all email that was from addresses that are not on my approved sender list to the Junk Email file. After that, all my filters stopped working, and all email (100's/day) go into my inbox. I have in the past had CA spam applied. That has probably...
