WGA was dropped from IE7 about a week ago now. An updated version through manual downloading will have v7.0.5730.13 as the version number. I got IE7 with WGA some time ago so my IE's version number does not match this one, but I still receive the critical hotfix updates. Microsoft provides a tool to prevent IE7 downloads through Automatic Updates.

Wow! Why would you jump a motherboard fan socket? Must always read the labels next to any socket on the motherboard. Notice the "REAR_FAN1" label? As already advised, it is probably best to get another motherboard, although you will probably looking at having to do a repair install of Windows in the best case scenario. The worse case is if Windows came with the HP PC which only provides recovery CDs/partition; Windows may refuse to repair with such a major hardware component out of the hardware profile. If you do get a motherboard replacement ensure that it supports the same CPU socket type an

You may also want to go into the Internet Properties > Connections > LAN Settings and put a check mark in "Automatically detect settings". If that doesn't work you can to run the Network Connection Wizard. If all else fails, go to Internet Properties > Advanced > Reset Internet Explorer Settings and click "Reset".

One thing you can't deny: the comparable Intel Core 2 Duo CPUs are pretty much better at audio/video encoding when it comes to the amount of time to complete the task. See HotHardware, Bit-Tech.net and X-Bit Labs. However, I still agree with an AMD upgrade because of the setup you have to work with now.

I too would have to agree with the AMD Athlon64 X2 6000+. Happy upgrading!

The i386 folder, especially those created on PCs that use recovery CDs/DVDs or even recovery partitions, will contain drivers for hardware devices because they were the drivers that came with the PC. The i386 folder found on retail XP installation CDs contains all of the information required for installation. You will also see an i386 folder in C:\WINDOWS, but this one is a little different as you cannot use it to perform an installation because it contains changes made after installation to suit your particular system. However, the i386 folder is usually where driver information is stored (th

Good one!

That's neat! Never knew it was there (I use Acrobat Professional 7.0.5). It uses Windows' own text-to-speech feature. Thanks!

Yes, I agree with 'mikex'; you should just set everything back up from the start. 1. Disable all file shares and File & Printer Sharing on PCs using the network. 2. Go into the Device Manager and locate the network adapter that is being used to connect you to your LAN. Go to 'Properties' > 'General' tab > 'Configure' > 'Power Management' tab > and uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". Apply settings. 3. Make sure that the "Computer Browser" service is set to start automatically (Start > Run > services.msc). 4. Reboot your PCs. 5. On each PC r

Wow! Thanks guys! You're great!

I always enjoy these jokes you find, Marty!

Double.

The first couple of links from this Google search should be helpful, especially the first one. You have a dual Xeon PC? That's neat! If this is a server-type setup it should have support for RAID. You can probably check the motherboard's documentation for more information.

Thanks for that! Worked great! I wish I could use it to block CSS elements as I could in Adblock Plus. Does Opera support this?

I just downloaded and installed the Opera web browser and I'm lovin' it already! It's very fast compared to Firefox on my PC; the response to my input is smooth and rapid! Anyway, I like the featureset of Firefox and would like to see if I can get some of those same things on Opera. Is there an "Adblock" plug-in that I can use with Opera? I would like to import my Firefox filterset if possible. Secondly, I noticed that my installation of Opera 9.2 doesn't load Windows Media streaming videos such as those found at MSN Video. I always get the Microsoft prompt telling me that I should use Interne

Are you sure you bricked it? If I remember correctly DD-WRT changes the default router IP from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.1 or something like that. To confirm (assuming your NIC is set to receive a LAN IP from the router automatically) check your LAN connection status. What does it report for 'Default Gateway' and 'DNS Server'? Whatever IP this is (should be the same in both cases) this is the LAN IP of your router. Access the router's web setup interface using this IP in your web browser. BTW, which version of DD-WRT did you use? In case it is actually bricked you can try the following: You'll

This is sad and shocking at the same time! The Collegiate Times has been following the story since this morning.
