Oh, and I agree totally with Tony. MalwareBytes Anti Malware is superb.
Please make sure that you download the software Tony mentions from safe websites though. You could catch a cold if you don't! I recommend majorgeeks.com for all your freeware needs.

It could also be a conflict with another peripheral plugged into the PC.
If it doesn't hang at the PC shop then we have a clue! What is different at the PC shop?
Did they use a different mouse? Are there any other things you usually plug in that were missing at the PC shop (printer...
I think I have got to the root of the problem by accident!
After much mucking around with reseating the ram etc I changed the CPU fan power from the case front panel monitor, and back onto the motherboard. The machine has now run stable for the last four days. The MSI core center seems to...
Hi Ben,
I've checked the BIOS, and I'm on the most up to date version according to the MSI website.
I'm beginning to think the NB is the problem, as I've had problems with two different sets of ram now. Perhaps a clean an reseat of the NB heatsink might be in order as well....
Thanks for your...
Cheers Tony,
Yeah, I know the one at a time bit, but it is my main PC, and I was a little frantic!
It's so much easier to be detached when I'm fixing a customers PC.
I will take your advice over reseating the CPU and cleaning the heatsink.... as soon as I can find my thermal compound....
I...
Hi all,
I have a system running an older MSI 865G Neo2-P motherboard.
A month or so ago I started receiving an error message at POST during the memory check stating that my "memory timings too tight". The system would then boot and all was well with the world!
This message started to bug...
Hmmmm.... If the machine takes 15 mins to start again, I would suggest that this may perhaps be a software issue rather than a hardware one.
Does the machine Shut Down or Restart?

Hi again,
To clarify:
The OS is in English (with no options to change the Office package language).
The Office installation is now in Polish (including the options from the start menu: Start, Microsoft Office 2003, Microsoft Office Tools, Microsoft Office Languages, remove unwanted languages...
Hi Tony,
No, the machine itself is in English (Win XP Pro), it is just office that is in Polish. All control panel language settings are correct.
Cheers.

I though of that, but again, it's all in Polish! I guess I'll have to install office 2003 on another PC and familiarise myself with it in English.
Cheers

Hi,
I have a machine running office 2003 that some fool changed the language to Polish. I have no other machines running office 2003 to find out where I have to navigate to to change the language back to English.
Is there a registry setting I can change to revert back to English?
I would do a...
Hi all,
I have a Dell Inspiron with a very strange dial up issue. The built in PCTel Modem appears to dial fine and states that there is a connection to the remote computer. The connection then fails with a failed to connect.
If I then reinstall the modem driver it connects fine with no...
Hi Dan,
The reasoning behind his dislike of the use of AJAX and the like I think is simply down to the fact that as the head of a department he has to make sure everything is compliant with the majority of end users and within the company.
Therefore innovation is his enemy ;)
He also seems to...
Don't worry.........
Not that anyone did ;)
A nice and simple reinstall of the WC to match the version of MDaemon fixed it.
So simple really.... Even I should have thought of it!

*follow up!
I was using a XP Pro install prior to SP2 on this machine, and after 5 reinstalls with pro and home I managed to get my hands on the original Toshiba disks for the machine.
Everytime that I reinstalled the OS on this machine (and I got better each time!) I had errors after using...
Hi,
You might also be interested in getting a different DNS server that filters out those nasty websites.
I'm not that interested in censoring the www, but unfortunatly it does screw up your PC if they go to sites that are unsafe. Kids will be kids, and they will find porn if they want to...
Hi all,
Thanks for the great tips guys. I have used the backup of SAM, SECURITY and SYSTEM as described by Wolluf, but have only found this useful to get a system to boot and backup the data that should have been backed up (by the customer... I image mine!) before disaster struck!
This method...
Strange.
I have seen some Mozilla stuff (such as Firebird) kick up some strange error messages when it doesn't receive back an error it understands from the server.
I had one of my Mdaemon mail servers go funny last week and I got a similar error from Firebird. Could it be that Firefox is...
Hi all,
*Might be a better forum for this.... Please let me know.
I know this is a little left field, but I was having a discussion with a friend of mine who works for Verizon regarding functionality within web pages.
I am a fixer of PCs and as such have very little knowledge of how web pages...
