Doesn't MySpace have a help section for new users?

I have used Paypal over 60 times. Never a problem.

Could be the software updates, not sure. here is an example of what I see. 4.227.136.207 is attempting to access your Computer on port 445. This connection will be blocked in 50 secounds. Apply Every time Block Allow And the Apply every time is a box I can check. And then Either Block or Allow is the choice.

All I have ever seen was General, Sharing and Customize. You only get the Customize function if it is a folder. Not when it is a File. You can't customize a file.

I have PeoplePc's Internet security running on my system. I just had to reinstall everything on this system and now when I get on-line, I have a bunch of sites trying to access my system. I have the choice of blocking or allowing them to access my system. I click on the Apply every time and then block them. Is this something new that hackers are doing? I have every update from Windows Update and run Spy Bot S&D, Ad aware, Spywareblaster, Avg and the Internet security system from People PC. I do get a few Cookies and Some Coolweb Search problems found from these programs. Oh and I also run

Thats what I was trying to do. Right click doesn't/didn't show any function for "Open in New Window". Medab1 gave me a link that works just like the old function that is missing so I will just use that for now. Thanks for all your help. You could go to the registry & rename it,"Open In New Window" or whatever,But it really isn't worth the effort. It works as is. I thought about it and went into the Regedit and was going to rename it,but it works as is and does what I wanted. I just wish I knew what caused the old function to be removed.

That works but isn't the same looking function as before. But if it works it works. Thanks.

Gave System File Checker a try with no luck either. Also uninstalled and rebooted to reinstall with no luck. Still lost on this one.

I searched this subject and couldn't find the fix. My Ie 6 lost it's function to Open in a new window. It works for folders but not on just a favorite that is not in a folder in favorites. When I use the open new window from with in a fold of favorites it open a box that has all the favorites listed and then I have to pick from them. It worked fine the other day but now the function is gone when using the links. I searched Kelly's Corner and found some similar functions but none of them helped. Any ideas? Thanks as always. <===Lefty===

Thanks for the reply, I will call him today and have his wife check out the driver. He wont touch the PC. And Bozodog, they don't install any games they just use what came with the PC. Defrag isn't necessary, but I will have them dump the cookies and temp files while I have them on the phone. They live in Denver and I live on the Western Slope of Colorado or I wouldn't have had to post a message. I can usually fix a PC if it is in front of me, but it's not as easy when I can't tinker with it. Well when I said it wasn't necessary I meant they never install anything and if they have pictures o

My friends PC has just locked up twice in the last 2 days. First time his wife was playing Spider Solitaire when the screen just went black and nothing would turn it off other than the 8 second power button. Second time she was on Map Quest typing and it did the same thing. I am thinking either the power supply is going bad or it is just dirty inside causing a heat problem. It is an older E-machines with about a 800Mhz CPU. Nothing added to the machine lately and no power outages going on. Just all of a sudden started this. Any other ideas? Thanks in advance.

Following your link I can't find this line."MaxConnectionsPerServer dword 32 MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server dword 32 " Is this line just added to the end of the list on the right? Is this a new key or string value? It isn't clear on what to do!

I know there is a setting to allow you to download more than 3 items at once but I can't find it. Anyone have the answer? Using IE!

Running Adaware,SpyBot S&D,AVG and Spywareblaster. She doesnt have a Firewall going. I fixed all the viruses and Adware and spyware and now all she is getting is 2 pop ups that she just has to X out of. No more Virus. I am pretty sure we have all the services shut down that should be as in Telnet,Web and FTP.

My daughter went to a HTML help site yesterday and as soon as she did a popup came up and told her it needed to install something on her system. She hit the red X and then it installed Trojans onto her system. It also installed several adware and spyware programs including Mira,Virtual score,Bookedspace and some others. I got rid of the viruses and all the Adware and spyware. I went to symantec for the instructions for removal and then one by one removed them. The system is clean until she gets on-line. As soon as she does, more Viruses pop up and AVG spots them and we delete them but it doesn

Found my biggest problem was the Bios was changed to many times that when I went back and put it at the default settings all the symptoms went away. I has a Seagate Diagnostic Cd and a Maxtor Floppy diagnostic disk. After reading about Magnetic Data Tech uses old drives and refurbish them I tried the Maxtor with no luck and then tried the Seagate and it worked fine.

Thanks for the replies guys. The drive has 85 viruses on it and I am just trying to format it and install another OS. I haven't got it installed in another good working PC, just in the PC it came from so there isn't anyway to get Everest nor any other programs installed on the drive to test it. It was in the middle of installing XP that it just keeps on rebooting and giving me errors that XP converts to files. Xp isn't fulling installed so it keeps trying to reinstall. I remove the partitions and start over again with the same results. It gives me 5 different Stop errors and mostly state there

I have the need to run some diagnostics on one of these drives and can't find the manufacturer for them on the Internet. Is there a diagnostics program (generic) I could use? I need it to be able to partiton and format in fat 32. Test for bad sectors so I know if the drive is bad or not.Thanks in advance.

Using that same Registry entry, is there anything else called Password or pssw or psw? Look for something else in that same area with a password abbreviation.

Self taught here also. My son-in-law however is A+ certified and he is always asking me for advice on repairs and fixes. I have used PC's since the early 80's and started out with a TI99 4a and then had both a 8088 and 8086 machines before setting up to my first 386. Wow what a rush!
