I recently purchased a Linksys 802.11b gaming adapter for my son's xbox. To my dismay, it doesn't support WPA, only WEP. My understanding is that WEP is easily cracked. My wireless router is a Linksys WRT54G which of course supports WPA. Is there any way of making my gaming connection more...

We are fairly new to Exchange Server and Outlook 2003. One user that has been set up for about a week now has an issue where Outlook wont stay on line. I have followed the instructions to a tee in order to make sure that he is in online mode. Still the icon in the system tray returns to...

Maybe I wasn't clear. When I install Google desktop, for instance, I want to install it in my profile only. Unless I'm being dense, I don't understand how the link above helps. Is it the correct link?

Oh, I forgot. After I posted my first message here, I did some more investigating. I know that porn has a tendancy to install malicious software using media center drm. So I opened media player and opened the most recent file in the history and it was a porn clip named "Trapezistas(1).mpeg". So...

Thank you for the response. Unfortunately I am out of the office for the next couple of weeks. Unless I have a chance to look at it sunday, it will be a while until I get to it. I will let you know.

We have the small business edition with a 10 user license. My boss purchased a new laptop in July while I was out of the office and didn't bother to install AV softare. I realized this today and installed Symantec. About 90% thru the process, I got a couple of error messages saying the realtime...

Thanks for your assistance. I tried that first. However, I've downloaded 3 different files now and they all seem to want to create a floppy boot. Is there something that I am missing?

I just purchased a 2gb Corsair Flash Voyager flash drive. It is sweet. File transfer speed is great. However, it came with a utility that is supposed to make it bootable. However, when running the utility it asks me to stick a boot disk in so it can copy the command.com file and the io.sys file...

I have 4 systems at home. I'm looking for opinions on the best all around security suite available. I want to include: AntiVirus Adware/spyware blocker/remover Personal Firewall(maybe not necessary since we are running WinXP and XP pro) I would prefer to buy a multiseat package(of course the...

I just baught a Toshiba Satellite M45-S355. I have a legitimate copy of XP Pro that I want to replace the existing OS(XP Home). I'm wondering if there will be any caveats. All Toshiba tech support will say is that they recommend not replacing the OS or they may not be able to support me in the...

Stduc, My apologies, I wasn't trying to blow you off. I would say the backlight is extremely dim. I say this because, to check the graphics, I hooked up an external monitor, when I do anything, I can see see the the faint image matches that of the CRT. I did swing the monitor back and forth as...

The laptop was off overnight.

I had my Compaq Armada E700 at a remote office yesterday. It was working fine. I took it home. Left it in the garage where the temp never dipped below 50 degrees. When I booted it up today at the home office the screen was extremely dim. I can just barely see an image. An external monitor works...
