What a wonderful discussion! I am going to copy this to a document for the president of the company (just the discussion - not the identities, dates and other stuff). I would like the company to be a...

XP might be wonderful, and I might should learn the OS before I #$%@ing @#$ about it, but it certainly is far from intuitive and NOT easy to learn on one's own (unlike Win98). My beef is not as much...

I really should have found a better place to rant. Unfortunately the computer industries have effectively made it impossible to communicate directly to the companies along the lines of: "Excuse me, I...

Actually I have had to set up almost a dozen XP PCs in this office over the last 15 months. It has only gotten harder, especially since Microsoft fragmented Networking setup from a single place in...

Okay, my topic title is beyond juvenile, but I am ready to chew nails and sledge hammer my monitor! Why did MS have to go and ruin a perfectly mediocre thing like Windows 98? Networking was easy! All...

Thank you all for your responses. You all have excellent points. Thank you madjag for that text and link... I will save and peruse when I have the time (yeah right - when does any IT person have...

I have found at least six Windows PCs on my network that have one or more copies of a file where the entire file name is "~", no extension. Naturally I don't have one at my fingertips, so I can't...

Judging by personal experience at my office, attacks are on the rise. Every time I run something like Ad-Aware I end up removing dozens or hundreds of undesirable bits. I don't care if they want to...

I have just had a third computer with a hard drive problem. The first PC also seemed to have a bad CMOS battery. It is an HP XP PC with two HDs; one crashed, the other lost most of its files. The...

"...the general PC using population who could care less about security and have more of a click-and-go-gimmie-gimmie-gimmie mentality..."

I have a friend who does not have her own computer yet....

In case you still have problems, and/or for future reference: Both Western Digital and Maxtor have HD software - Seagate and others might as well. Maxtor's is fairly good, I don't remember about...

I was born in the United States and have lived most of my life here, but I still think the joke is funny. Questionable taste - but as long as it is meant in good fun... I know, someone is going to...

Looks like much of the help was exactly that (unlike what is - in theory - provided by the BIG BUSINESS uber-corp establishment).

I did not install any toolbars - I am trying to discourage my...

Thank you all very much... it seems there are one or two more things to try that won't require a sleeping bag and multiple pizza deliveries to get through. I am going to try several of these one at a...

Help! What is the problem and how do I get rid of it?
Near the end of my wits after 15 hours trying to clean a Windows XP PC. I have uninstalled a huge chunk of software, deleted cookies, history &...

Unlawful entry.
Just because someone tells you up front that looking at their ad gives them the right to install software on your computer. I think my policy now is that anyone who looks at me,...

I agree with the people ranting and HT. There is a great deal of wonderful and/or beautiful things in life that are dangerous. In some cases they start out wonderful but some jerk decides to twist...

Morning (and it is for someone somewhere). I am, and I hope to. I will. Feel free to ask.
