  1. thanks for the tip. Your most welcome Sultan. Nice harem you must have.
  2. Just so people know, Adaware 2007 is free and replaces Adaware Se. I think it even runs faster than the old Se.
  3. So using the manual update is the only work around I can do. I have done that but will now look for an alternative and quit using AD-Aware. Bottom line is ;Everyone is in it for the money. I'll scratch your back and you add my tool bar to your program. I am the point that I am going to get another PC for the INTERNET and just do a clean install every month. Use this PC as the main PC but never use it on-line. Transferring files as needed. That keeps all Spyware, Adware and Virus in check. Heck I wont even need the Spybot Search and Destroy or Ad-Aware that way.
  4. I havent been able to get any new updates. It tells me error retrieving update. Anyone else have this problem?
  5. Xbox 360 requires a Wireless adaptor. I read I could use a wireless B or G gaming adaptor. Linksys is one of the ones mentioned. I am assuming a linksys wireless G adaptor will work since it is compatible with G or B. This is a USB type. I just haven't seen any thing in stores called a gaming adaptor and all are just called Wireless G, B or N types.
  6. Might need an Updated driver for the ethernet card. Or one designed for WME.
  7. What I do is Right click>Properties>Change and then pick the program I want to open it with. Then apply and it's done. Is it a program or just a Picture/Video you want to change?
  8. Of course that only works with the paid version and not just the free reader.
  9. Are you using the Internet when it disconnects? Or are you connecting and leaving it sit without activity? Some ISP's will disconnect you if you are sitting idle. Try changing your settings in your E-mail program to check mail every 5 minutes. That will keep activity going.
  10. Have you tried a formatted disk in those drives to confirm they are working? Are the cables tight on the drives and do they show up in BIOS as the correct format, 1.44MB?
  11. Have you tried clearing the CMOS battery? Or just pull it out and then put it back in. There is a jumper next to the battery and if you place the jumper on the opposite 2 pins for a few seconds and then put it back it clears the CMOS. MAke sure you put the memory in the first slot and try it after clearing the CMOS.
  12. OK, not working but activitiy from HDD. Do you still get the same errors or a blank screen? Does the PC beep at all and what type of beeps do you get? If only one beep when you turn it on and the HDD is flashing, there is a chance your Monitor or graphics card is at fault. Do you get any text on the screen when booting, or is it just a black screen? Double check the Graphics card is tight or reseated and that the monitor cable is plugged in tight. Use just one memory chip and try again.
  13. Is the Pc working now? Or have you tried running it with just the Kingston?
  14. Page fault could be the memory. The continued beeping in your first post tells me memory. Not all memory are equal. DId you by chance just put in one of these memory sticks? And this is for BenR as well as you. http://www.firingsquad.com/guides/power_supply/
  15. No error occurred. And yes consolidating items in each catagory fixed it. Example. I go to start and I made a catagory called games. In the games folder I had a ton of things and made new folders in there as in On-line Games, Learning games and fighting games. Then used drag and drop and put those type games in those folders. Same with internet Utilities. I made folders called: Spyware Adware and Anti Virus, Add-on's and Utilities. Drag and dropped items to those also. OK now you went and did it. It was fixed yesterday and now it is doing it again. I guess it isn't fixed. Hmm, back to the dra
  16. Try only one stick of ram the video card and only one HDD. Make sure it is set to Master. Then try formatting and installing Windows. Disconnect everything else. Make sure the inside of the case is clean. Use a can of AIR to clean it out. Never touch the contacts of the memory or any other PCI AGP card with your fingers. You might also want to set the BIOS to the default settings.
  17. Oh yeah! This has happened for months now. But hey guess what, I fixed it. All I did was consolidate some of the categories and it doesn't do it anymore. Been doing this for a long time and as soon as I decide to consolidate it clears it up.
  18. The Terrorist asked me to post this here. Very strange thing happening with My Start BOX. This is what it looks like. The Start Box over laps my listings for All Programs. When I scroll up the listings, and let it stay in one place for a couple of seconds the Start Box Acts like it needs to be on top and hides the left most listings and allows the right side of All Programs to appear.
  19. Pretty strange huh? I am at a loss to what caused it too. Might be Weather Studio but haven't uninstalled it to see if that fixes this or not. Just a little annoying not much of a problem.
  20. I looked at insert image but that wants me to add a web address. Never did this before so not sure how to.
  21. http://files.weatherstudio.com/pl/weathers...o/features.html So if I just delete them(quarantine) every other day or so they really aren't going to hurt anything right? They all have a low threat. You should be OK. It has been on here since 05-19-07 so I think I am OK. Nothing else in the way of problems. System runs good. Thanks TT for all your help. Oh wait a sec. I would like to mention that when I go to All Programs and then try to scroll up or down the items listed once I find an entry with more than one item in it's category the left side of the menu over laps the left side of the lis

  23. Weather Studio is the program. And these are the Cookies.
