this is what I used: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-66956 I also solved a DEP problem by editing a file.....

thinking about it all...my friend isn't all that technical. I'm thinking of telling him to just use an external usb hardrive.

I used one of those small enclosures for the first time the other day. But with the drive giving off quite a bit of heat, decided that it was a bad idea to trap all that heat in the enclosure. I then connected it to a 'sata/ide to usb 2.0 adapter' to do what I had to do.

A friend of mine is kicking around the idea of using a new laptop as a server and as a backup to his other pc's/laptops. We found a really nice laptop on sale for $450. His network is wireless. Although we could cable it to the router. The screen doesn't have to be on. The battery can be...

I reloaded the factory image on a Thinkpad P61. Installed Service Pack 3 (xp) and downloaded 103 critical updates. Updated the video and wireless card drivers. Connected to my wireless network and surfed the Internet for two hours. Everything looked normal. Tried to connect to his wireless...

ANF...your info was good for writing emails in AOL....thanks. I had to increase the font size of the computer to get bigger text to read emails.

Thanks ANF. I'll be going back over there this coming week and give it a shot. I'll reply back here either way....

This is an old Gateway Solo, PIII, W2K Pro laptop that my friend used where he used to work years ago. Looks like the cd-rom drive will not read anything. It spins up and I blew it out with compressed air but it won't read anything. So then I tried to get into safe mode which is password...

Avast has found four virus's that are locked files and can't be deleted. I need a utility to unlock them and delete them.

Thanks goom. It's a friends drive and I'm sweeping it with SpySweeper through my laptop. I'll run those you listed also.....

Is there a good free utility that finds key loggers?

when I get a mysterious 'paper jam' message, I blow the paper feed path out real well with compressed air.

Thanks linney. I forgot you could see the key on the interface. I got her laptop back online.

Update: I noticed in Add/Remove Programs that there is software for the wireless adapter. I clicked 'repair' and it now sees a ton of networks. I can't find my 'key' but it looks like I solved the problem.

Device Manager is clean. The wireless adapter is a: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection it just says that 'this device is working properly' and it is 'enabled'.
