    relentless spyware, help!

    I did not immunize with spybot but will so i wasnt aware of the option. I HAVE mcafee antivirus, mcafee firewall and spybot. Are these programs enough to keep my credit card info secure? Why do the spyware strings contain my personal info in the details tab?? thanks for the help

    relentless spyware, help!

    Every time I scan my hard drive with spybot, it produces a list of entries that dont belong. Even if I click fix problems, and it does, I can scan later on the same day and pull the same results like.. hitbox, adrevolver and the list goes on and on. When i click on the entries for details i see...

    Installing pci video card

    Well I got it working, but the upgrade is hardly worth it. It was probably foolish of me to think a pci card would provide better video than the built in on a brand new tower, you think? However I think I do have a pci-e slot. It's really small and it's in-line with the other slots. Are there...

    Installing pci video card

    I'm trying to install a radeon 9250 in my Dell dimension e310's pci slot so I can use it's tv output but the screen goes black when I insert it and the pc locks up. Why is it conflicting with the integrated card and how can I get around this? Thanks for any advice!!

    Wiring help!?

    I recently disected my gateway select 800 for de-dusting purposes and now that I've re-assembled the tower, the lights on my cd and floppy drives stay on and the drives won't work. The computer won't recognize any disks I put in, but all else if fine as I'm using the pc right now. Could this be...

    Computer hang-ups?

    So standby mode should not be used then? I will disable it and see if my freeze ups go away. Thanks people.

    Computer hang-ups?

    I'm not sure if you got the whole message you intended to post.. yes I think the whole pc is locked up because I can't get it back untill I unplug its power source and reboot, and that can't be good.

    Keyboard shortcuts?

    It's always web pages due to signing in. Even my e-mail is run off a web site.

    Keyboard shortcuts?

    Sorry if I'm in the wrong forum for this question but I'm a little overwhelmed with how many there are to choose from. Well anyway, I find myself typing my e-mail address (a rather long one) about fifteen times a day if I'm lucky and it gets annoying sometimes. Is there a way to permanently...

    Computer hang-ups?

    My pc freezes up in standby/hibernate mode every time. If I leave it idle for more than five minutes, it's totally responsless and I can't even get it back with cntl alt dlte. I've de-dusted my towers components, removed all ad-ware and spyware, I'm virus free and my hard disk and ram are...

    accessing seperate hard drive externally?

    i was only insistent on getting a yes or no answer on whether or not i could network them together without a keyboard for direct access...thank you! Ed fair.. specs on my main pc are from everest which I'll paste below (maybe you could tell me just how obsolete I am). As far as the spare...

    accessing seperate hard drive externally?

    So if i were to pursue my original idea at networking the towers together, it would be considerably simpler to use an ethernet crossover rather than a usb file transfer cable? on to the mechanical alternative.. the ribbon cable in my main tower is the wide one im assuming the 50 pin one. the...

    accessing seperate hard drive externally?

    So you don't think it would make sense to keep the spare tower in-tact and link to it with a double ended usb cable? Or is that not possible? the tower isn't password protected, but will it refuse access from my pc through a usb connect? As far as disecting the secondary tower, that did occur to...

    accessing seperate hard drive externally?

    Hi everyone.. I was recently given a pc tower with no mouse, keyboard or cables. I want to use it as an external hard drive for storing data since it's a rather large and useful drive, but I need to link it to my main tower to do so. My problem is I can't access it directly and set it up for...
