No. I have a Linksys BEFSR41 into which I've plugged Belkin WAP (802.11b) and I have a Belkin 802.11b card in the Toshiba. Kind of a kluged setup, I admit, but has worked fine for my needs for years.
Thanks, micker377. I checked it out and it is not one of the affected models. I attribute the sw problems to being a quirk of this low end model since I've not seen the same thing on my Dell desktop systems. I bought this laptop to avoid doing any personal work with my business laptop. It's...
Norton was the problem. Zone Alarm works fine. This is on a Toshiba laptop which also gave me a problem when I loaded Roxio EZ CD Creator. It stopped seeing the CD burner at that time. Had to do a system restore. Same thing with MS Streets & Trips 2005.
Man, I'm dying to see the solution to this. I have the exact same issue, right down to trying Mozilla. I can ping the outside world and get (OE) email, but the browser craps out and I have to reboot one or more times. One thing I haven't tried is uninstalling Norton Pers. Firewall. I replaced...
Thanks. I just ran Ad-Aware and got 27 hits. I'll let you know if it comes back. I also did a Google search on the word "Quickshield". One hit is for "Goggle Software" which sells Quickshield. I have mistyped Google a few times in the last few days and I bet that going...
For the last two days I have seen an occaisional "security alert" popup that says my IE is prone to popup ads and can click OK to fix the problem or cancel. It just doesn't seem like it's MS looking out for me. Does anybody know if this alert is bogus? (Today I also was sent to a...
I finally ended up calling Dell tech support. They had me install a new copy of XP Pro which created a dual boot system (boot the bad XP or boot the good XP). I didn't like that much so I formatted and started from scratch. Not as bad as it could have been since I had all my data on two other...
I have tried to run explorer.exe from the task manager but nothing happens. I'v also tried starting in safe mode. I get black wallpaper and nothing else. Tried running explorer.exe from the TM in safe mode and nothing runs. Tried going back to last known good configuration that worked, too...
I downloaded and installed a trial version of NTI's Backup NOW 3.0. My first attempted full backup hung the system during the file compare. I was backing up my C: drive with 14 GB of files (it is a 60 GB drive)to new 80 GB freshly formatted internal hard drive. During the backup Windows kept...
