  1. I have searched google for a solution, but I haven't found anything that has worked for me yet. I have a XP desktop machine and a Vista laptop, they are both connected to the internet via a Linxys wireless router. When I first added the Vista machine to my network both computers could see each other and could share files. To my knowledge nothing changed but a few days later neither computer could see the other. I have all the file sharing settings turned on. I have renamed the workgroup so it is the same on both computers. I downloaded the LLTD on the XP computer. I turned the firewall
  2. It is something more in depth than something pushing on the power button. Anyone have any ideas where to start looking?
  3. I have been having problems lately shutting my computer down. Sometimes I will hit shutdown, and the computer restarts. Sometimes the computer just locks up on the "windows is shutting down" screen. When the computer locks I have to manually turn it off by holding down the power button. Even when I do get it turned off a while later I will come by and the computer is mysteriously running with power on. I have also been getting a lot of windows protection errors lately. I then go into command prompt only, go to scanreg and have to start the computer from a previous cab. I have Panda anti
  4. I can run defrag! I just find it odd that defrag is trying to run on its own everytime I go to do something on my computer.
  5. Not sure i fthis is related to the problem I had in this post or not? http://www.besttechie.net/forums/index.php...857entry46857 If I leave my computer on everytime I go to use it disk defragmenter is running and says 0% complete. The box disappearsas soon as you move the mouse. I looked in the disk defrag properties to see if there was some sort of automatic schedule set up or something. There is not, but I noticed that the file was created in 2000, but was modified Monday August 29th 2005. I did not modify it to my knowledge. Any ideas? On a side note how much system resources should b
  6. Thank you very much for your help!! You say to get a good firewall, with my Panda anti virus there is a firewall included that I use. Is that good enough or should I get one of the others? Thanks again
  7. I think you may have hit the mark here. It may be an incompatibility with 1.0 vs. 2.0. I have a 2.0 card up and running on my '9x machine. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have the same exact computer at home, and it works fine there. But all my music is on this computer. I had windows re-installed a few months ago, and I think it may be related to that. I found out that a usb mouse works fine, but anything that is an external driver wont work. Is there any way to re-install windows without wiping out all my files?

  9. I am running windows 98se. I had this happen to me with 2 different usb devices. I plug in the usb device (external cd burner the first exercise) the computer recognizes it, load the drivers / software. Everything is good, and it works great. I restart the computer, and it will no longer recognize the Cd burner. 2nd device was an ipod. I downloaded drivers to be able to use my ipod with windows 98 (I tried them on another computer first and they worked flawlessly) I bought anapod, and then plugged in my ipod. The computer recognized the ipod as a removable drive. As I was using anapod I think
  10. I have been having a number of problems lately. I have been having lock up problems at shutdown. A lot of programs and folders not responding. Internet explorer locks up when typing in address bar, but works fine when using google or my favorites. I have been getting a lot of Internet explorer error reports, asking if I would like to send to Microsoft. I get "System is busy" a lot lately I have also been getting Illegal operation errors when trying to burn cd's with my Roxio cd creator5. I dont know if any or all of this could be hijack related, but please take a look and lend me a hand if you
