Welcome Marie, pass on a word of thanks to your friend for referring you to us. Joe, Nice touch. Mike

Burning the board goes with the sig. lol If the majority of the parts are in a condition to be used elsewhere just replace the board.

I have windows xp home edition. Does that matter so much? And yes, I ran the sfc /scannow but I don't know how to find the file path thingey to register the dll. I came in on this thread late, but this is what I see. You have home and you need Pro. I see many business trying to run on Home. Everything was fine at first when they purchased the computer. Now they are starting to utilize more and more of the resources available to them they realize they need XP Pro. Then after a review of their systems you see the reason for their problems are compounded. Lake of ram to run multiple office appl

WINK WINK LOL I guess letting them use your rig is the least you can do for all the trouble you were as a young'un. Gotta keep mom happy. I can see where college kids can make a couple bucks for someone else to save, just by going to best buy to pick up a couple copies for the "guys back in the dorm", cough cough. mike

Tried different pci slots? Any beeps during Post? Monitor powered up? lol just had to. Use an eraser on the contacts of the gfx card. Mike

Is the computer up to date? That may be an issue. Also what errors are you getting? Copy then to a post so we can better help you. The more info you provide the quicker you are likely to get a resolution. M P.S. Welcome to Besttechie.net. We are different from other forums. We are like family. So since your the new guy it is your turn to do the dishes after supper.

I would try to pin point any changes on your machine. Also track the speed so when you contact your provider you have dates and times of the issues you are having. All this is under the assumption your machine is cleaned of spyware and virus. I would use more than one scanner to verify the machine is clean so if the subject comes up you have proof. Also this could be the burst of the ISP. ISP's use the burst for users to have the speed upfront but the speed drops as time goes on, until certain criteria are met then the bandwidth will burst again. M

Copied this into my tool box <flash drive>. Thanks. Mike

LOL passing it on. I am 4 sometimes. Mike

As far as I know, No, but I am saying this with regards to the HP I had that had a bad connector on the board. It needed the battery to operate. If the connector on the board is bad I look at replacing the board, even if it is with a used one. I used this site to purchase a used screen, call them they have a database of parts not listed online. The service was good, screen was just as described. Good luck. Mike

I have a young friend who is in school for a degree. I wish I could have gone that route, but working to support a family is hard enough with out having to go to school nights. Mike

It is entertainment. If anyone is trying to learn survival skills from these shows....well I guess we will read about you sooner or later.

Who is certified? Certified in what? Since when? Yada yada yada..... I am studying for A plus IT Tech. Then plan to do MS Desktop Support Tech by the end of the year. Then probably Server 03 next year. Mike

What kind of problems can I look at when putting an XP drive in an external enclosure the connecting it to a new Vista machine. The old drive is sata, the new machine is sata. There is no room in the new macchine to make the old drive a slave as it is a slim line type. The old machine is dead, and just doing an over all upgrade. mike

I have 8.1.0 free reader.

The internet is an international network. So this raises more questions as to who has what. I would prefer the freedom to have what ISP and be able to go where I want with the same priority as somewhere within the realm of my ISP and its partners. my $0.02 Mike

If it had a drop down seat in the door so I can sit and surf I may think about it. lol

It was a direct attack on each and everyone of us. We will overcome.

I found this today. I didn't know about it so I wanted to pass it on. Open a .pdf with Adobe Reader. Go to view/read out loud/enable read out loud. Now click next to some text, it will put a line around the paragraph and read to you. I passed it around the office and no one knew it would read. Have fun. Mike

Also ping your network card and ping the internet. If the ping to the nic stays active wile the ping to the internet drops, well.... Mike

I don't think the modem issue would cause the filesharing to stop. I have been known to be wrong. Turn the file sharing off the start over to turn it back on. Is the modem an onboard modem (dialup) or a cable/dsl modem. M

will check it out more tonight after work. handplane the drain works all the water is collected near the compressor. I seen it. The OL just says get a new one. But she also wants to do some major renovating in the house as well. M

It is a side by side set up. freezer stays mostly full. I defrosted the freezer with a blow drier, wiped the moisture from the interior. I checked the coils under the unit, there is some dust but I would say it is about 80% dust free. I turned the thermostat back back just a bit from what it was. I have a thermometer in the fridge side watching it close.... M

Fan is all good. Clean, running.....no blockages.... M

All of a sudden my fridge is icing up. It is set up to blow cold air from the freezer to the fridge. The cooling coils in the freezerice over so no air circulates thus everything starts warming. Any one have ideas? M
