  1. hi team up until last week

    my dial speed has been around 45-46kbh

    now for some reason it has shot up to

    52 -53 -54

    and has been dialing at that speed for over a week

    now i know the line noise is a factor

    and the processes go some way to

    slow it down

    but that is a difference of 7=8

    any one know why

    im not complaining but

    there is quite a difference

    Looks like your phone lines might have been upgraded. I always get a connection speed of 49.2 and my daughter gets 50.9 using a different modem but the same phone line. I use a US Robotics external modem.

  2. I could be wrong but I was thinking Ad-Aware will delete those after a scan if you choose to do it.......

    Il, I just downloaded and ran this program. Looks like Ad-aware could learn something from it. Ad-aware at times gets 21 items(MRU) and this program on the first scan found 337 items on my system. Looks good to me.

  3. I have a Logitech Media Center mouse and it has extra buttons to turn the volume up on window media player is there another program to do the same thing as the Logitech media center program?

    There are plenty of Keyboard programs that do the same thing. Try going to Tucows.com or Download.com and do a search for keyboard volume control.

  4. I have 3 columns in my programs folder but when I open it up, I can only see about half of the last one. The columns are far wider then they should be.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    thank you

    What resolution are you using? Try 1024 X 768 Right click on the desktop and then properties then settings and change it to 1024x768.

    Or try right clicking on the task bar,properties,start menu and then customize and then choose small icons.

    The thing I do is create folders like Internet,Printer Utilities, Games, Utilities and then move all the programs listed into their correct folders. Right clicking on the Start button allows you to Explore the Programs and then create new folders as well. Explore All users and Explore by itself and Open all users will clean them all out. Drag and drop to their folders you want them in.

  5. My water is from a well, really hard water but I filter it with a Brita Filter and it tastes good. If I go out to a fast food joint, I might have a pop but it is so sweet to me now I can hardly drink more than 1/3 of the drink.

    Water the real deal.

  6. So, I just started to read up about Podcasting and I guess you can now podcast Kevin Rose's and Alex Albrechts show called diggnation. how would I got about doing that? I have iTunes but I dont know where to get started. Podcasting is free, but when I try to sign up in the iTunes Music Store I need to give credit card info and what not.

    Any Ideas?  :blink:  :thumbsup:

  7. 2 cups in the morning,2 cups at night and the rest of the day is water only. 1/2 teaspoon of sugar for morning and 1/2 for night.

    With this, I have lost 25 pounds. I used to drink pop all day.

  8. I am pretty sure you will need the PC100 as I have found HP's older systems do not allow the backwards compatibility. At least my sisters wouldn't allow it either. As for the 512MB, the PC might only allow for 512MB total. You need to goto HP.com/support to find out. Also some PC133 isn't backwards compatible.

  9. Hi

    G4TV has CUT the Tech forum from the boards effective tomorrow!!

    Major changes are taking effect over there, so I'm gone...no more board to mod for me so there's no reason to ever go there again.

    I've invited others there to join us, but I hope some of the A-HOLES decide not to

    ;)

    Anyway, we may soon see a major pickup in the Windows support section (fingers crossed)

    Just read about the board going down and I just started visiting it again. Hmm, glad I saw the Ad for besttechie on there.
