    How do I secure Linksys Gaming adapter

    I recently purchased a Linksys 802.11b gaming adapter for my son's xbox. To my dismay, it doesn't support WPA, only WEP. My understanding is that WEP is easily cracked. My wireless router is a Linksys WRT54G which of course supports WPA. Is there any way of making my gaming connection more...

    Want to install Software in one profile only

    Maybe I wasn't clear. When I install Google desktop, for instance, I want to install it in my profile only. Unless I'm being dense, I don't understand how the link above helps. Is it the correct link?

    Possible infection

    Oh, I forgot. After I posted my first message here, I did some more investigating. I know that porn has a tendancy to install malicious software using media center drm. So I opened media player and opened the most recent file in the history and it was a porn clip named "Trapezistas(1).mpeg". So...

    Trying to make Flash drive bootable

    Thanks for your assistance. I tried that first. However, I've downloaded 3 different files now and they all seem to want to create a floppy boot. Is there something that I am missing?

    Trying to make Flash drive bootable

    I just purchased a 2gb Corsair Flash Voyager flash drive. It is sweet. File transfer speed is great. However, it came with a utility that is supposed to make it bootable. However, when running the utility it asks me to stick a boot disk in so it can copy the command.com file and the io.sys file...

    I just baught a Toshiba Satellite M45-S355. I have a legitimate copy of XP Pro that I want to replace the existing OS(XP Home). I'm wondering if there will be any caveats.

    Laptop Screen is very dim

    Stduc, My apologies, I wasn't trying to blow you off. I would say the backlight is extremely dim. I say this because, to check the graphics, I hooked up an external monitor, when I do anything, I can see see the the faint image matches that of the CRT. I did swing the monitor back and forth as...

    Laptop Screen is very dim

    I had my Compaq Armada E700 at a remote office yesterday. It was working fine. I took it home. Left it in the garage where the temp never dipped below 50 degrees. When I booted it up today at the home office the screen was extremely dim. I can just barely see an image. An external monitor works...

    Aren't video cards upgradable any more

    Felixc, now that you mention it. How do I ensure that it is compatible with my motherboard?

    Aren't video cards upgradable any more

    Thanks everyone for the input. I guess that I'll just start looking for a 256mb card. Even though I'm using it for CAD, the models just won't be that big. To be honest with you, the current chipset(on the motherboard) handles small assemblies just fine and gaming is a minor concern. Thanks again.

    Aren't video cards upgradable any more

    OK, It has been a heck of a long time since I bought a video card. But the last time I did, you could buy a card, and add more memory down the road if you wanted to. Just plug in a vram sim. Now, as I shop for cards, I don't see memory slots on the boards(in the pictures). Am I missing...

    Path/Filename Length Limitiation

    I am trying to copy a file from a local drive to a network drive. The total length of the path and filename is about 240 chars. I'm getting an error regarding file format. Is this due to the length of the file name? If so, what is the limitation? Thanks.
