    MS Works to MS Word 2000

    I am wondering how to convert .wps files (from Works) to Word documents. I have downloaded all of the freaking converters that I can find from Microsoft and some off-base makers and yet none seem to work. I recently started work in a college computer lab and I've noticed this problem is many...

    Beginning physical memory dump

    Not that it matters much, but here at a college, I have set up two brand new Dells with 1.7 GHz and 256M ram and etc etc etc with Windows 2000. A student was on a web page and tried to print something. It gave a real BSOD physical dump error, not the one that allows you to press enter to...

    OK ... Safe Mode...

    Read it all you want, try CTRL. Despite what they say, search some more as well. I use CTRL for 98 and ME and F8 for others. If I'm wrong, Microsoft clearly labelled their programs that my school has as defects and are only for sale to colleges around the world. Or maybe IBM uses 88 key...

    OK ... Safe Mode...

    You come try F8 on these Windows 98 computers then =) F8 just does nothing. F5 bypasses startup files. CTRL is what brings them up over here. Noisome <-- Can't we set a standard and break it again? -->

    Question about computer an windows

    I hope these are legitimate questions. 1. A zip drive uses Zip Disks, like a Floppy drive uses Floppy disks. A Zip disk is used for storage, like a floppy disk, except much larger space available on a Zip Disk. 2. Text is the written letters printed on your monitor (like what you are...

    Boot failure after installing McAfee Virus Scan

    I use Trend's Online anti-virus section. More fun to play with and free. Plus doesn't take much room on your HD. =) Btw, Norton sometimes has a problem booting up too. Usually I go to Safe Mode and to Run and type msconfig. I go to the startup and uncheck norton and that solves the problem...

    Toshiba Shuts down automatically

    I have not had this problem before, but maybe go to MSCONFIG and disable fast shutdown. If its already checkmarked try taking off the check mark. Second, I have heard problems with Norton Anti-virus. Sometimes you can't boot up except in Safe Mode. Maybe its accessing a file that is being...

    BOOT PROBLEM

    Yes, like s/he said. C:\Windows\tempor~1> If you want to get rid of all of it, if you have anything, type: C:\Windows\tempor~1> deltree *.* Above will ask you for verification of each directory. But if you're sure, C:\Windows\tempor~1> deltree /Y *.* That will not verify you. Noisome...

    Groupwise and IE5

    Groupwise 5.5 error. Internet Explorer and Windows 95. WebAccess. The error is, a user is trying to read her email on internet explore. She has tried her computer at home, and several computers here at the college and the emails come through, but they will display only a white popup window...

    OK ... Safe Mode...

    Unless it is Windows 98 or ME, then its CTRL =) Noisome <-- Safe mode? Does that mean the nukes aren't gonna fly? -->

    What are these viruses???

    The Klez virus. Ouch man. I just started work here at a college computer lab, and they just got finished (hopefully, once again) cornered the Klez.h virus. They cornered it (I heard) several times but one or two emails accidently slip out and there it goes again. Not that this has anything...

    IE Trojan adware

    Blackice Firewall is a really decent firewall. Along with blocking most unused and unnecessary ports you can block or allow access to any port you care to. Also, if you do have an entrance it'll show who, IP, MAC number and more so you can trace more than they do. If a port is entered into...

    BOOT PROBLEM

    If you know how to use DOS somewhat, you can press F8 before Windows loads up and go into the Command Prompt mode. Move files through there. If you can't remember the commands, move fromplace toplace. Instance C:\> cd\windows\system C:\Windows\System> move ssdpsrv.exe A: this will move the...

    IE Trojan adware

    And to HiyaTiya, use Blackice Firewall and Antivirus.com, Ad-ware, and a Pop-up Killer. That'll halt most activities. Noisome <-- If you leave the computer in the box, you won't have to worry about viruses -->

    IE Trojan adware

    Heya, go to download.com and search for a pop-up killer. It will get rid of those pop-unders. Also, if it doesn't get rid of one, you can add it to the list. Very useful and usually does the trick, but watch out. Sometimes they'll misread the title and close a window that you want/need. Not...
