    transfer files to 2nd hard drive same computer

    Thanks all. Successfully moved My Documents to the larger HD with the "move" command. Dumb question? How do I tell the software applications which are still on the smaller drive "where" the saved old files are?

    can't get on web although connected to home network

    Thanks much for the reply. After hours and hours on the phone with HP technicians, the final technician determined that it's a "hardware" problem and the computer has been returned to them for repair. I'm not convinced that's the issue but will see it connects to the web when returned to me.

    Thanks all for the suggestions. I had checked everything mentioned multiple times, including trying unsuccessfully to update in safe mode. Nothing worked. Have surrendered, installed McAfee and requested a refund for Pc-cillin.

    Pc-Cillin won't update on Thinkpad

    Thanks for both of your responses. I've already done both of these and neither works. With the "Source" file approach, which I have experience with, the result is that there is NO "Tmupdito.exe" file produced. I've explained all of this to Trend Micro. Plan C? Anybody?
