    Last week my Asus Eee PC 1005HAB was invaded by XP Anti-Virus 2011 even though I have protections ongoing.

    only starts in safe mode

    I am pretty sure I am suffering from C-Dilla. This happened to a friend recently, too. I was in the process of upgrading my safety programs and it must have slipped in. I have looked for c-dilla files and folders, though, and cannot find any. I have run my most recent, but in need of upgrading...

    so others can't make copies easily

    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...

    wireless and wired together?

    I have three computers on a wired network in my house. I want to buy a wireless laptop. Can I have both wired and wireless running in my home at the same time if I am using cable as my source? How about DSL? How do I do it? Thanks

    only starts in safe mode

    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...

    primary slave not detected

    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...

    added ram - computer is slower

    The RAM was 512 and I added a stick of 128. It came with 512. The 128 was taken from my son's computer because we upgraded him. As far as "slower" maybe it would be more accurate to say that it freezes sometimes and if has a great deal of trouble multi-tasking. If I upgrade to a newer Windows...

    sudden loss of cpu power

    Thanks for replying. I am looking into replacing the psu..it was probably not top quality. Any recommendations about what type to use? The current one is 300w and I am running a p4 with two hard drives and all the typical peripherals. Would you recommend a more powerful one?

    sudden loss of cpu power

    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...

    Internet not working in 1 room

    Running the cable across the floor first is a great idea. I think we'll try that although we won't get to it until Saturday. If you think of anything else please let me know.

    Internet not working in 1 room

    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...
