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.
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...

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...
...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.

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.
...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,

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.

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...
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!

I'm currently running a 2.4 P4 with a gig of ram on a giga-byte GA-K1100 (can't remember exact model) motherboard.
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...

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...
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...

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...
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,
