Hi Guys, I bought a 2gb Sony drive (www.sony.net/Products/Me...ault/usm-jx.html) in Japan about 2 weeks ago and I had no problems using it on a XP SP2 laptop. Upon returning home I plugged it into my desktop (Vista 64bit) intending it to be used for ReadyBoost and all hell broke loose. First...

Hi guys, Recently my startup items like admuncher and more concerningly Zonealarm keep disappearing. This happens after I restart my computer. Not only do those things go missing, I loose my "Turn off Computer" and "Run" buttons in the start menu. I tried some registry trick to restore the...

Hello thanks for the suggestions, I have finally solved it!!! It's the fault of my radio, this happened when there was a power outage in my area so everything except my laptop went off, all of a sudden the static disappeared!!!

Ok thanks.

I was reading this article about how a RAMDisk would dramatically improve system performance if one uses memory intensive programs like Photoshop. I know that the data stored in the RAM will disappear after the power is turned off so I don't mind putting losable data like internet cache etc...

Hello, I am quite confused as to which device should forward specific ports to who. I know that through the airport admin utility, I can get it to forward ports on my Airport express unit and the gateway address is 10.0.0.1. The same applies to my modem (Alcatel 530) which also allows me to...

Hello, I have a network which shares the resources of my iMac with other computers around my home. This is done through the Mac's airport 802.11b card.

Hello, I've currently got a Mac and a PC networked together and they can share files and an internet connection fine, without WEP that is. When I enable WEP on the Mac and specify 40 bit encryption I am prompted to enter a 5 digit password. Having done that I entered the same password when...
