Well if I'm not dumbest hick to come down the pike. Just got up and checked the laptop, and it's fine. Hmmm...

Tried to get into my yahoo mail account and it gives the same response. Is it my PC?

Yesterday, April 1 2009, I began receiving the message "Secure connection failed. Invalid security certificate The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate has expired.The certificate will not be valid until 9/1/2008 8:00 PM.(Error code: sec_error_expired_issuer_certificate)"...

replaced the power supply, all ok, smooth sailing, pie in the sky, yodel ee hoo ha!

I tried the "paperclip technique" between the green and the black wire of the motherboard connetor. It caused the green LED to stop blinking and glow normally. Not sure what to make of that.

Replaced the battery, still nothing. HP support wants me to "Clear RTC RAM (3-pin CLRTC).This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS." Could this be related to the problem? Thank you

Compaq Presario SR 1222NX-B desktop has been working fine for years. Running Xp Home. Today it will not power on, and the LED on the back panel just below the power selector is flashing green, instead of the steady green when operating normally. I have been thru the documents and in contact with...

I have a Maxtor 1TB external HD with SafetyDrill (backup and imaging, it looks like) and want to create 2 images, 1 for my laptop (60GB) and another for the desktop (300GB). Can both these images be put on the same backup drive? Thanks.

smah, whoever owned this pc before me set it up so that everytime an ActiveX control (unsigned, I would guess), pops up, the message displays. The web sites in question are common and not malicious. For instance, registry entry SOIEAK, UNSIGNEDACTIVEX, ALLOW. I am assuming that this is what...

It is a webpage that displays the activex warnings. I don't want to install Firefox, I am just the kind of person who likes to know how things work. My wife will throw an appliance away, I try to fix it. I am perplexed and curious, and I like to tinker. I know a little about the MMC but want to...

I understand fully what you are saying. But what I want is to be able to understand more of the workings of security issues.

I finally found someone at Emachines (now Gateway) who told me that the recovery CD I received was a Console recovery cd to be run from the command prompt I believe and they would be sending the correct one real soon. We never did discuss the issue of whether the Console cd would actually work...

I am working on a MS XP PC which displays the message "An ActiveX control on this page might be unsafe to interact with other parts of the page. Do you want to allow this transaction?" This occurs 5 times for each transaction, so it is a real pain. I would like to change the security level, but...

I have an emchines M5405. I received a restore CD, but when I try to restore, it fails with the error message that it cannot find the eula. I can see eula.txt on the cd, so what is the setup program really complaining about?

This problem is related to Quicklaunch, but I don't know how. Somehow I managed to shrink the taskbar, I believe by unchecking Quicklaunch. Then when I checked the Quicklaunch checkbox in taskbar properties, the taskbar immediately doubled in width. Which is very strange, as I've always had...

Yes, bcastner, that indeed was the problem. I don't use this laptop much, so I had to look for Scroll Lock key and that fixed the problem. Thanks.

I have an Emachine laptop with XP personal with internet access and Norton Internet Security. One day the right side of the keyboard started to act in a bizarre manner, like so: 123456789*-= !@#$%^ *_+ qwerty456-[]\ QWERTY-{}| asdfgh123+' ASDFGH+" zxcvbn0,./ ZXCVBN</ If I set up another...

Those sizing dots no longer move. They are dead, dead, dead. There is nothing unusual enabled on the taskbar. Thanks.

The taskbar on the desktop recently doubled in size. Attempting to resize would cause the cursor to form the adjusting arrow, but had no effect on resizing. I then unchecked Show Quicklaunch and this allowed me to resize the taskbar to it's normal size. However, with Quicklaunch checked, the...
