    Wireless accessing internet through desktop PC

    Paul, That's the problem - the modem cannot connect to the router using an RJ45. It uses USB to connect to the desktop PC. Therefore, I need to use the router to connect to the PC with the USB modem, and then share that internet connection with the other PC's on the network. M.

    Wireless accessing internet through desktop PC

    Apologies for the simplicity of the question, but this is my first ever network, wireless or otherwise! Normally, the router would have its own connection to the net, from what I gather. However, my cable internet connects to the PC (desktop) via USB. Works fine. I have two laptops that I want...

    Clicking on Explorer creates a shortcut

    ...(adware/malware) - 300+ instances (230 alone of FunWeb itself). Explains all the pop-ups. System is due a reformat & reinstall anyway, so I *may* just do that rather than disinfect (housecall hung trying to do it). I will try some of the other cleaners out there, seee how they get on with...

    Clicking on Explorer creates a shortcut

    ...find anything in any of the fora. I'll do a concerted effort to clean up the PC of anything oddball this evening, and then do a HT scan. It *may* turn out to be a combination of things. If it does prove awkward, I can just format the drives. I have backups of anything I need on DVD anyway. M.

    Clicking on Explorer creates a shortcut

    That's what I initially thought. However, this "double clicking creating a shortcut" *only* happens for IE. Combined with MSN going missing, I suspect it *may* be an MSN exploit that occurred. M.

    Clicking on Explorer creates a shortcut

    ...IE normally. I had "upgraded" to IE7 a couple of months ago, could this be part of the problem (bearing in mind the repair install)? I haven't repeated the "upgrade", and it's using IE6 again. There appears to be no obvious virus symptoms, but as MSN is now "gone", I *am* suspicious. TIA, M.

    Recommend High Capacity CD Storage with Sleeves

    The sleeves are plastic, take a disk both sides of a fabric middle to prevent scratching, with a plastic "hanger" built into it, they sit in like suspension files. Nothing fancy, but sure does do the job. I keep approx 150 backup DVD's in mine, it's about 10" long by about 5" square. M.

    Recommend High Capacity CD Storage with Sleeves

    I deal with a crowd called SVP communications in the UK, carriage might cost you a bit, but you'll probably be saving anyway. Not exactly what you're after, but might be a solution. I have one of their smaller units, great quality for the price (i.e. doesn't fall apart, takes a fair bit of...

    SATA & IDE together

    Thanks folks. As I said, I'm in need of storage. Judging by how fast I used up 260Gb (60Gb external disk as well), I'm going to slot in a pair of 250Gb SATAs in the next few weeks. Time for a new PSU then! Michael

    SATA & IDE together

    Excellent, thanks Martin! Didn't think there would be any issues (separate controllers for IDE and SATA) Time to go shopping! Michael

I currently a CD & DVD drive on one IDE channel, and 80gig (system) and 120gig (storage) drives on the other channel. My drives are insufficient for my storage purposes, co could...

    Drive choice for fresh install

    IslandCustom- I'm definately considering splitting the controllers to each have an optical and physical drive, it does make sense, the processing involved in video is long enough that even a small improvement is a big time saving. Probably the way I will go is: Channel 1: 80 gig OS drive / DVD-R...

    Drive choice for fresh install

    OK, I'm about to do a fresh install of XP. I have two drives that I could use to host the OS (XP Pro), so I have a few options. Drive 1: 120 Gb 7200rpm 2mb cache (seagate) Drive 2: 80 Gb 7200rpm 8mb cache (seimens) Both drives are ATA133. My current OS drive is an old 5400rpm unit, which...

    Extra heat with Hyperthreading off?

    Folks, a quickie for y'all- Running a 2.8 GHz P4, 800 MHz FSB, with Hyperthreading. Gigabyte 8IK1100 mobo. Updated the bios recently, which required the HT to be switched off while the update was in progress. Just happened to notice that the CPU temp increased significantly while the HT was off...

    Sound card paranoia!

    TekTippy4U, you might have hit the nail on the head there, I'll give it a go. Have a star anyway, for highlighting probably the only thing I haven't checked! Cheers, Michael
