TS, It would depend on what type of hardware you are looking for. Are the USB ports integrated on the MOBO, or was it a seperate card (ie. PCI) that you installed. If it's on the MOBO, you will need to find the manufacturer of the board, and download drivers from their site. Otherwise, pull the...

I enabled the USB controller in the BIOS and when booting it locks up while loading the desktop. I disbaled it again and it boots into windows fine. I do have 1 PCI slot available. Any ideas? A USB PCI card maybe? I really need to get this USB printer up and runnning. It is for a business and...

No...don't think so but good point. It is an Award Bios. Where would it be and would that do it? I'll check out the MOBO sight you gave. Thx dude (or dudess :)

I have just reformatted an older AMD-K62 PC and installed Windows XP SP2. There are 2 built in USB ports on the system, but after plugging in a USB printer (Lexmark All-in-One), nothing happens. When looking in Device Manager, there are no USB ports listed. I looked on the motherboard for the...

Does anyone know a good solution for the following? I have 2 traveling laptops, both configured in OE to send and receive emails on my ISP's server once dialing in. Occassionaly they are brought to a different location and hooked up on the network LAN. The Internet access through the network is...

Fordguy, You will not be able to receive your Yahoo mail through Outlook Express. Yahoo does not allow setting up their mail servers in OE.

Good idea bygeek. Do you have a sample of your form or a little verbage? I would like to institute that in all my work for viruses, adware, spyware, etc.

HeeHee...great posts all of you. Maybe a blocking with Zone Alarm IS a good idea. But what known sites are there (besides the usual porn). Anyone know of a list? Keep the ideas and opinions coming. this one's going on my wall! :)

Good posts guys (or girls). Is there a site somewhere out there on the web that lists known malware sites, etc. besides the obvious porn/kazaa issues? Of course, noone minds the repeat customers ;) but it almost seems to be a bad reflection on you (or your business) that they have paid YOU money...

So what then? I have cleaned out numerous PC's that were infected, using all said tools and then some. After numerous reboots and checks to make sure the system was clean (including registry cleaning), I still receive the occasional call in 2 weeks saying "It's Baaack!" Why is this so? Could it...

Simple....I also found dnsstuff.com. Thx

What is a simple method of finding the public gateway and/or public IP address of a router from inside the LAN when you have static IP's set up. IPCONFIG /all only shows the private static. Maybe a web site?

Thanks 2ffat for the reply. Latest news: I was able to run the "Explorer.exe" from the task manager which returned the Desktop. From there I was able to get to Restore Utility and disable. Hopefully the end is near or there is now a light at the end of the tunnel. I'll be back with the...

I am in safe mode but have no taskbar or desktop. I can get into task manager which has a run utility I can use. Does anyone know how I can disable the System Restore utility in DOS command? Or better yet, the .exe that runs the "My Computer" utility to disable it? Loooking to disable the...

Just an update: Loaded Drive as slave in another PC, ran AV, Adware and SB S&D. Seemed to have found over 170 trojans and 250+ spyware. Cleaned best I could. Re-installed drive in regular PC..same result. Getting "adjusting Virtual Mamory" errors" (oops, I mean memory..heehee), "App error...
