    IE Hijacked by Comcast?

    Thanks, that did it. I seem to remember something about a registry edit, but the VB script is much easier! Jeff C. A+, Net+, MCP, MCSA If all else fails, read the directions.

    IE Hijacked by Comcast?

    I recently switched from Verizon DSL to Comcast, and unfortunately installed the software that they gave me. I have managed to uninstall the Comcast Support app but my IE still has the Comcast logo instead of the Explorer logo and it says "Microsoft Internet Explorer provided by Comcast" in the...

    MAC to PC question

    The thumb drive was origninally formatted in OS X, and the PC has no trouble reading it. Jeff C. A+, Net+, MCP, MCSA If all else fails, read the directions.

    MAC to PC question

    What kind of files? If you're trying to use a Word file on both platforms or something like that, I would suggest using a USB thumb drive. I haven't had any luck burning a disc that both can read, but the thumb drive always works. Jeff C. A+, Net+, MCP, MCSA If all else fails, read the...

    Graphics Card for Video Editing

    Thanks for the info - I do already have a FireWire port, so that is the route I'll probably go. BTW, has anyone used the Plextor ConvertX for converting VHS to DVD? Jeff C. A+, Net+, MCP, MCSA If all else fails, read the directions.

    Cloning a bootable HD

    The other cloning program you may be thinking of is PowerQuest's DriveImage. I use it regularly and it's a little more user-friendly than Ghost. BTW, PowerQuest is now owned by Symantec. Jeff C. A+, Net+, MCP, MCSA If all else fails, read the directions.

    Local Admin Rights taken; CD Burning software will not burn

    Does Picture to TV burn directly to disk, or cache the data in a temp folder before burning? If it caches the data to a temp folder, the users may need to be given rights to the folder in order to write data to it. Or, is there a setting in Picture to TV you can change to burn directly to...

    Graphics Card for Video Editing

    Now that I've gotten my PC back up and running (see thread602-843396), I am looking to upgrade the graphics card. I'm not a gamer, but I will be doing lots of video editing in the near future. (baby on the way!) Any reccomendations out there for a card geared towards video editing? I'm not on...

    PC Wont Boot - No Fan, No POST

    Just an update to close this thread out. I got a new TruePower 380 from Antec (under warranty) and the problem disappeared. Thanks to everyone for the tips and suggestions! Jeff C. A+, Net+, MCP, MCSA If all else fails, read the directions.

    PC Wont Boot - No Fan, No POST

    Sounds like the m/b to me - especially since it "sort of" works when you unplug the 4-pin plug, which is necessary for normal operation. Jeff C. A+, Net+, MCP, MCSA If all else fails, read the directions.

    Must Unplug/Plug-in PC before it can Pwr Up

    When you replaced the P/S in one of them, did you replace the power cable as well? Jeff C. A+, Net+, MCP, MCSA If all else fails, read the directions.

    PC Wont Boot - No Fan, No POST

    I was skeptical when they said it was the CPU as well, but now they say it was the PSU after all. I think they kind of had a bad mindset against AMD - said they had only had bad luck. Anyway, I think the M/B or PSU is a more likely cause. My M/B is an older A7V333 and has only the 12-pin 12V...

    Read Only Status

    What security groups are the users in? It sounds like maybe User 2 is taking ownership of the file. Is User 2 an Administrator? Jeff C. If all else fails, read the directions. If that fails, REBOOT!

    PC Wont Boot - No Fan, No POST

    OK scratch the idea about the wiring in my house - I'm an idiot. I finally broke down and took the computer to a local shop. They seem to think that it's NOT the PSU or the ATX power switch. He seems to think it's the CPU but is going to do more testing. Luckily I bought a retail processor...

    SYMPROXYSVC.EXE goes to 99% when IE is opened

    Are you running Norton Internet Security or Norton Personal Firewall 2002? If so, run LiveUpdate and make sure you have the updates for the software, not just virus definitions. symproxysvc. exe is a valid file for NIS/NPF. You may have to create a new rule (allow access) after the update...

    One Mac, One PC and a linksys Router. ARRRGGGHH

    System Preferences>Network>Show:Built-In Ethernet Make sure "Connect using PPPoE" is not checked. You probably need it checked if you're connecting directly to the cable modem, but not if you're running through a DHCP router performing NAT. Jeff C. If all else fails, read the directions. If...

    mailto: link not recognised

    I'm running 10.3.3 and Safari 1.2.1 - Haven't had any problems with mailto: links. Can you post a link with a mailto: that doesn't work in Safari? Jeff C. If all else fails, read the directions. If that fails, REBOOT!

    PC doesn't power down after shutdown

    "...if the machine is completely shut down and in a powered off state then the front power button does turn it on. I have checked the pin alignment and even reversed the switch connection but that didn't seem to do anything." Sounds a lot like my problem. Mine will turn off after Windows...

    Need some more info... What type of system are you installing it onto? Clean install or upgrade? Booting from CD or the 4 floppy boot disks? Jeff C. If all else fails, read the directions. If that fails, REBOOT!
