  1. If you were running XP Pro you could set a password protected screensaver that initiates upon wake up from hibernation.

    Yea I dont have xp pro

    I guess you all are right CAN ALWAYS BE CRACKED

    Now I am wondering, Anyway I don't think your joking

    Should I set bios password

    even if

    ''remove the cover and pull the Cmos battery to bypass the password''

    or as many said

    may be just use Win Key + L and stop being paranoid?

    My only question still is about disabling safe mode?

  2. Even if I set a bios password,

    Heres the thing I hibernate my desktop computer, hardly shut it down or restart it.

    The bios password will help with booting my system and safe mode.

    If I already am in Windows, the bios password is useless.

    I leave my computer on, though I lock it, Win key + L

    With XP Home SP2

    I HAVE A FEELING IT COULD BE CRACKED

    HOW DO I STOP THAT FROM OCCURING?????????????????????????????????????????????

    Will the bios password show when I resume hibernation?

  3. if you set an admin password, isn't it pretty hard to get in? They would have to do some serious hacking.

    Quoting

    If you set a Windows XP password on the Home Version or even on 2000 PRO, it can be cracked in a minute using a simple floppy disc tool.

    This is what I am afraid of.

  4. Why not set a password in the Bios so they can't access it at all?

    HOW DO i set bios password?

    Also how do I make users press Ctrl-Alt-Delete before you can log in?

    This option failed for me

    Salute before you log on

    Setting your PC so that it requires you to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete before you log on to Windows protects your computer from Trojan horse programs, which can imitate log-on screens and trick you into revealing your user name and password. Using the "three-finger salute" ensures that you see the authentic Windows log-on screen. To enable this setting for a computer connected to a network domain, log on as the administrator, open the User Accounts Control Panel as described above, and click the Advanced tab. Under Secure Logon, check the option Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete. Then click OK.

  5. Is there any way to (disable) and enable safe mode? I am going to stay out at college. For Security Reasons, I would like to disable safe mode so people cannot easily access my computer.

    I RATHER NOT DISABLE IT THIS WAY.

    How do I disable Safe Mode? (NT, 2000, XP)

    Windows NT, 2000 and XP do not have any easy way to disable Safe Mode. However, there is a way to 'break' safe mode temporarily.

    Doing this is not recommended. Proceed at your own risk!

    Click on the Start Button

    Select Run

    Type in "regedit" and hit OK

    Expand the left hand side to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot

    Under SafeBoot, you should now see Minimal and Network. Click on them and hit F2 to rename them to "Minimal-" and "Network-", respectively.

    I know Security Administrator has that option. For some reason, the program does not work on my system.

  6. like connections when it says dial when network is not detected i put that and then when i shut down  and then turn on its back to neveer dial how do i fix?

    Okay, Internet Settings Keep Getting Changed makes be believe that some spyware is causing this MAYBE It might be a hijacker, If you can, perform a lsp fix: experts of hjt need to confirm lsp

    Run trend micro online spyware scanner if possible

    Post a hijack this log

  7. I need a calendar program for school to put on my laptop and desktop, and I do not want activation;if it has that:fine to

    A while ago, when I needed to organize, report dates, I used a Microsoft Word Template, and it worked but creating that monthly calendar was difficult and time consuming, I also need a calendar that you can color code different things to get done.

    I need hour, daily to do list, weekly, MONTHLY calendar.

    I have tried all of the free versions, they are all ****

    I do not like the MS Outlook Calendar, just seems to boring to me annd in a mail program :angry2:

    I had MS Works 7.0, I am ordering 8.0:

    In MSWorks though, it takes everything as appointments, and calendar even with 8.0 would not be the best! I need a program that mainly focuses on a calendar process.

    What are the best programs that I described that might work discluding msworks?

  8. I never went on my laptop throughout the summer because I did not want to get it all fragmented if I continued update ;therefore, I update right before school started.

    I have a Celeron Toshiba 1135-S155 with winxpsp2 home,

    Ever since I updated programs, security windows updates, spyware updates, and everything needed for my laptop to work fresh in school with every update.

    For what ever my laptop began working very slow, I had Norton on my system when it was fast so I do not believe that is the cause. I do have NAV2005 Worm Protection enabled: Should I disable that? My computer is defragmented.

    IT NEVER WENT THIS SLOW BEFORE

    what I mean is;

    it used to take me 1,2,3 seconds to boot in programs like msword, now it is like 15 seconds; what the heck happened :excl:

    Microsoft Encarta takes forever like 25 seconds same with Lavasoft :angry2:

    Any ideas to help my problem?????????

  9. Unfortunately, I have NOOOO clue how to do that kind of stuff.  Especially with the registry...I wouldn't even attempt to touch that.  Oh, well....looks like I call Gateway tomorrow.  :(

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    If you have Norton Win Doctor, that may work instead of messing up the registry, an alternative.
