Currently have web hosting and email with Netfirms.com (Canada). In order to access my email, I have to go to their website, click on webmail and login. The whole email process is web based and is painfully slow. My office is currently located in a section of a Toronto District School Board...

Hi Tony. Thanks for the help. I did have the jumpers set to master on the secondary controller. I read all over the internet that it is a suspected undetected Malware that causes this. Ended up uprading my Windows XP OS. Sure enough, that solved the problem. All is detected and I'm burning...

I have an LG GSA-H54N drive that I have used often in the past to burn CD's and DVD's. I can see it in My computer as CD Drive (D:) and if I insert a CD or DVD I can read just fine from it. Now, regardless of which burning application I use, the CD/DVD drive is not detected at all. It says No...

I am using Outlook Express and I currently have rules where email with words such as beneficiary, congratulations...are sent to a spam folder. I am using sympatico so it is a high speed connection.

Hello, I must have touched on some kind of a spam site but am not exactly sure what has happened here. One day I started getting numerous emails in my inbox saying 'Attention:Your Inheritance Fund","Dear Friend, Urgent Reply Please" or "Attention, you have won 1 Million Euros". Each are either...

I am using both Firefox and IE6. I can browse to my homepage, but when I type the URL, the bottom right indicator goes halfway to indicate that it is loading. It sits at the halfway mark for days if I let it and the page never loads. On the bottom left corner of the screen it always says...

I have recently reinstalled my OS (WinXP Pro) only to find that I did not backup my email and therefore lost it all. I was able to recover my lost doucments and folders, but what I don't know is in which folders I can locate the Outlook Express emails/contacts that I had and how to integrate...

BadBigBen, you were so right. I had the video drivers for the onboard loaded but not for the added video card. Works like a charm. Many thanks...msammut

As my system was bogged down with spyware, viruses and all the scans and fixed could not help, I decided to reinstall the OS (XP Pro). All went well. I lost a few document files but was able to recover them with the help of Tek-Tips. My problem is that my mouse function is slow and sluggish. I...

Freestone...Many Thank!! I was able to get all of my documents back using your tip for taking ownership. I have all of them back (and am backing them up). Any idea how I can find my outlook express mail which I also lost when I reinstalled XP Pro? Your knowlege is invaluable. Thank you

Thank you for your quick reply. My problem is this. WinXP installed the new folder under new folder name c:\documents and settings\msammut. The old folder 'c:\documents and settings\msammutold' is still visible but cannot be accessed. msammutold is nowhere to be found in user setup for me to...

My system was so bogged down with spyware and virus's (kid). I decided to reinstall the OS knowing that I would have to reinstall apps. I did not do a full format, just an XP Pro upgrade. The username I used was different from my previous user name and it setup a new Documents and Settings' with...

AVG did a wonderful job. Thank you.

I am running an XP Pro system that I keep fairly clean. For the past couple of weeks I am getting pop ups galore. Athough in IE6the popup blocker is set to high security and the Bell Security Manager software also offers a pop upblocker, I keep getting them. Some random, some every 5 minutes...

I have had to perform an automated System Recovery (XP Home) on a 6 month old Compaq desktop system due to system files missing. This included a format, OS installation and application installation to put the PC back to it's original configuration. The system recovery went excellent and I...
