Last week my Asus Eee PC 1005HAB was invaded by XP Anti-Virus 2011 even though I have protections ongoing. I have successfully dealt with previous versions on other computers but this time I was unable to get rid of it. After several days of fighting it, my screen went completely blank with only...

The other night something happened and my surge protector, which is one of those big 6 outlet ones that also acts as a battery, overheated and started to cause a smoke smell. The surge protector is no good anymore. So i plugged my computer into the outlet to try it. The first time i booted it...

I am creating a presentation for my company and they want me burn copies at home to distribute to attendees, but they do not want the attendees to be able to easily make copies of the CD because they want people to have to attend to get the CD. Is there a way, on a home system, to burn copy...

I was trying to troubleshoot an error message with "cdilla" in it. I've struggled with cdilla before. At the systems' request I ran scandisk and defrag. Both ran without a problem. But now I can only start in safe mode. I tried going to c prompt and doing scanreg /restore but there is only one...

I had a 512 CompactFlash card with many photos on it. I copied them onto my slave drive so they would be safe, and deleted the files from the card. Within weeks, the slave crashed. I have only taken about a dozen new photos on the card since I erased the files. Are they recoverable since my...

I have a second hard drive (D) slaved to my first. It has always worked. Suddenly my computer can't find it. It is no longer listed in my device manager. In Bios it is not listed either. Of course all of my photos are on it and I just bought a thumb drive to copy them over. How do I get my...

I was doing some system clean-up (internet files, etc.) and I set my PC to defrag. As it worked, I sat across the room and watched TV. All was going along nicely until, suddenly, I heard the sound, the pop, of the monitor shutting down, and I looked over to see that the screen was blank and the...

I have 3 computers connected by a router. For months, every computer worked well and none had trouble accessing the internet. Suddenly, the connection to the newest computer, less than a year old, just stopped working. The others are fine. The cable is used for both PC and Playstation2. Neither...

I am rejoining an ethernet after fixing a crash and formatting my hard drive. My Windows 98 can't identify my network adapter which is on my motherboard. It did before. It does not appear in my device manager or network config windows. The ethernet cable connects into a silver box that says AMP...

My c: drive crashed and even though I tried FDisk and partitioning and formatting several times, loaded a boot disk, and put in a new BIOS battery, it won't let me load Windows again.

I purchased a new, loaded computer upgraded for gaming and am waiting for its arrival. Someone recommended that I buy a super surge protector which regulates power such as the CyberPower 625AVR saying that with new, powerful systems, these are a must-have in case the power fluctuates or...

I just found out that all of my computer problems after a virus were solved when I removed my sound card. I was having trouble with the sound so I think it's safe to say that my sound card was infected. Now, can I remove the virus from the card or should I just buy a new sound card? I have...
