    Windows Freezing

    Have you emptied your temp folder lately? It might be time to do some maintenance. Here's a little checklist: -- Delete all temp files (c:\windows\temp\*.tmp, or on XP C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp) -- Delete temporary internet files (c:\windows\temporary internet...

    No virus found but PC keeps restarting!

    The first place I would look is spyware. Download AdAware ( http://www.lavasoft.de ), update it, run it & remove what it finds. The second place would be the power supply. After that, check all the other items mentioned above.

    Winodws shuts itself OFF!!!

    I concur -- sounds like a power supply or other power problem. But as to the anti-virus program thing, you definitely need to have one installed and always on.

    How to find what certain Win98 Files mean?

    Same answer -- search on Google. If you suspect something might be a virus / trojan, you can also go to Symantec.com and search for the filename there.

    defragmentation error

    You won't have to run in safe mode if you use Diskeeper. (http://www.executive.com) I got it myself several months ago after finally getting just too disgusted with the built-in defragger. (I'm not usually one to buy utilities.) But it's great. It doesn't restart on open apps, it doesn't take...

    Word not saving settings on exit

    You can also open normal.dot, click SAVE, then close it, before closing Word. This is a roundabout way to do it, but is a way to ensure your changes are definitely saved. If Word crashes (or if the computer crashes while Word is still open), no changes will be saved to normal.dot. That's why...

    Office 2000 - Word program delays

    Try this: 1. Close Word 2. Rename normal.dot to normal.old 3. Reopen Word If this fixes the problem then normal.dot was corrupt. (When you did #3 above, Word created a new normal.dot.) If you had macros or styles stored in the old normal.dot, you can now copy them from normal.old into...

    Scheduled Defrag on Win 2000 Server

    Get Diskeeper (http://www.executive.com). It has a scheduler, among other excellent features.

    Recovered Files Not Working

    When you are opening the file, set it to "all file types" rather than "recover from" file type. If you can't do that (because it's forcing you to "recover"), then open the file in WordPad instead, then copy and paste the data into a Word doc. For future reference, you might have better luck...

    System running slow after it sets overnight

    I would do the above (particularly checking for viruses and for spyware). A couple of other things you can do to speed things up: --Delete all temp files (c:\windows\temp\*.tmp) --Delete temporary internet files (c:\windows\temporary internet files\*.*) --Run Disk Cleanup (Start, Programs...

    asp to remotely administer a web site via http

    Both Visual InterDev & FrontPage use HTTP as far as I know. (InterDev is not cheap...) Hedda Lora

    How can I speed up and improve my computer that has windows 98?
