We visited friends today to deliver a monitor. We are not stopping I said - fatal. The network was fine (two Win 98, one XP)but could we have a look at the laptop as that could access the web but not see the other computers. I hadn't touched the laptop (Win 2000)when we had recently got the...

I am talking about hard drives... I have one here, the owner said the system was very slow... darn right, like forever since there is not a peep, whirr, click, vibration or any other sign of life coming from the drive, and of course it isn't recognised. I have read about folks putting them in...

Himself is complaining bitterly ( bitterly I tell you), because he can't get a preview of his piccies any more. We have web page enabled and we can see html previews but not gif or jpeg. The heads are being scratched. If I do regsvr32.exe /i showdoc.dll, or one of the other showdocs ( not...

hello folks, Gracie here again. I have a Win 98 machine in which was infected with W32 Bropia.m and a couple of dialers. It came to me because the owners could no longer boot the machine, being told it was an invalid system disk. I have slaved the HDD to another machine ( not this one) and...

hello folks. The last couple of times I have shut down the computer ( Via chipset) it has not powered off but displays a screen of vertical black and orange lines - exactly the colours displayed on the 'it is safe to turn your computer off' screen found on older computers. I then have to...

hello folks, been trying to get rid of lop.com invasion for the last day and a bit,Windows ME machine, and I think I might have succeeded after clearing out some .exe files from application data. I don't know for sure as I have now lost connection to the web. I regained it briefly but since...
