    Blue Screen on Power up

    I did not mean to sound offending, it merely sounded from his use of words, that that is what he intended. I was not saying that STOP codes were the absolute best option for resolving all problems, just that they can and do help in many instances. I have used primarily STOP codes to solve many...

    Blue Screen on Power up

    I still think you are basing this off of lack of experience with the STOP codes. Any time I encounter one, it takes me 30 seconds to find a solution online and I can usually implement it just as quickly, very successfully. STOP codes also tell much more hardware errors than memory, so while...

    An LCD that isn't a widescreen..

    I do not think what you are asking for exists. Why do you NOT want a wide screen? -surgeVel http://www.surgevelocity.com

    Blue Screen on Power up

    A STOP error is most definitely NOT useless. STOP errors point to many hardware issues including memory. I have found solutions to many hardware issues just by researching a STOP code, so I think you should readjust your views. -surgeVel http://www.surgevelocity.com

    USB HDD Listed as Hard Disk -- How to change this?

    You should be able to simply Right Click on it and Rename it as "Removable Device". I'm using a Seagate 250GB external and when I start it up, it lists it as SEA_DISK (H:), but I can right click on it and rename it whatever I want. It lets me do this to any local disc as well. This may not be...

    graphics card testing

    3D Mark does this, but it is not free. I believe AquaMark or PCMark or other software can test your video card. However, if it lists as an undefined memory error, it is likely your RAM and not Video memory. Try running Memtest. -surgeVel http://www.surgevelocity.com

    Blue Screen on Power up

    When you are starting your PC, Hit F8 repeatedly until a boot options menu pops up. Choose the option "Disable Automatic Restart at System Failure" or something close to that. I cannot remember the exact words off hand. Anyways, once you do that, it will keep the blue screen on and let you...

    Open but not save .doc, .xls, .pdf

    Would changing the file properties to Read Only help? Or does that only work for the networked copy of the file and still allow a local copy to be edited and saved? -surgeVel http://www.surgevelocity.com

    XP Pro hangs on install + ethernet port not working

    Its a gateway 450, around 3-4 years old. I have basically concluded that it is the ethernet adapter that has failed and the only true way to repair it would require motherboard replacement since it is all onboard. -surgeVel http://www.surgevelocity.com

    EFS 101

    Woops, missed the encrypted part.... So I guess what you are theorizing would be safer. Hope someone here has a solution for you as I have not heard of something like this before. The only thing I have ever heard of close to this is protable digital password displays. These are used in big...

    EFS 101

    I don't have any insights as far as what program could do such a thing, but I do have one thought. Wouldn't a small flash drive me much easier to be misplaced? Or even stolen? And then someone else would still have your certificates information. -surgeVel http://www.surgevelocity.com

    Does anyone know of a Windows utility....

    Yes I agree with mofusjtf. We use Trend Micro Office Scan client for security at our university, and we only use Symantec for it's GSS. -surgeVel http://www.surgevelocity.com

    There was an article on ComputerWorld.com a few weeks back that had some good programs on it for network management, and they are even free! Check out Spiceworks IT Desktop or any of the other programs mentioned in the article at...

    XP Pro hangs on install + ethernet port not working

    How can I "drop in another NIC" when this is a laptop in which I would have to completely dismantle inorder to drop in a new NIC, but also there most likely isn't a slot for such a thing as my NIC is onboard and laptops don't comonly come with easy upgradeabiliy. -surgeVel...

    XP Pro hangs on install + ethernet port not working

    Ok, so here is the situation. I received a laptop that was ridden with spyware and malware, and I was asked to fix it. Well, after trying for an hour to rid the stuff, I decided to wipe the drive and reinstall windows XP Pro. Now, after I reinstalled Windows the FIRST time, it came up with me...

    prohibit internet access

    You should be able to block their IP's so that they cannot access the internet. I have seen this done at my last job with our Windows 2003 server. We simply found the IP of all the computers we wanted to block, and then somehow we were able to enter it into the server to block their internet...

    maximum peer to peer network connections

    Ok, I just found this post which seems to say that Windows XP does impose some limits to peer-to-peer networks. Check it out. [link]http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=67237[/url] It appears that there may be a limit of 10 for XP Pro and 5 for XP Home.

    maximum peer to peer network connections

    As far as I have ever known, Peer-to-peer is only limited by the power of the hosting computer. There should not be a user limit, atleast nothing as low as 9 users. You can try this article for an overview of P2P with Windows: "Introduction to Windows Peer-to-Peer Networking" Other than...
