I feel so stupid because this problem is my fault. I found a file called "keep this.exe" or something like that on another system on the network. I thought it seemed suspicious but also thought it might be an executable zip file with something important in it. I scanned it for viruses with...

I have a spreadsheet that comes out as a blank page when I try to print it. I searched the posts and one suggestion to a similar post was to the the "Print Area". I fiddled with that quite a while to no avail. This only happens with one document. Others print fine. Any suggestions? Thanks.

We received a "hand me down" Dell Dimension Computer. It was inundated with viruses and spyware so I formatted the disk and installed Win98SE. I keep getting a plug and play notification that it has detected a "PCI Communication Device". I don't know what that is but I imagine something to do...

I friend of mine has a problem I have never seen before. He has a standard dial-up connection. He can connect to his service. However, even though the connection is shown in the system tray with a reasonable connection speed, it is still as if he isn't connected. He can't get to any web sites at...

In Win98, I understand that I can change the mouse from left handed to right. What I want to do is change the mouse so that both buttons act like a left click. The problem is this, my Grandfather(80+ yrs old) uses his computer for one thing, chess. He broke his hand last year and now has...
