Hi,

I'm looking for an Athlon XP 3200+ (socket 462) CPU. Anyone selling one?

Hey. I've been running the Google Toolbar for quite some time, and I have never had a pop-up get past it. Not once. Could there be adware or spyware on that system spawning pop-ups?

I don't download movies or applications, but for music, I have yet to find a better file sharing program than Lime Wire. It's excellent.

The floppy disk is probably bad. The problem you describe is commonplace when disks are moved from place to place without protection from electromagnetism or the elements. Has your grand-daughter tried the disk at school again since the problem happened at your home? I'm almost certain it won't work...

Hey Barrett. I'm sure the cable can be repaired, no? Would it be possible to strip the insulation and re-solder the damaged wire(s)?

Athalon. Must've been the work of Basterb. Good thing AMD doesn't make a CPU code named Lagimodiere.

I am a huge Doom fan and have been waiting for this game for some time. I would much rather ID make it as good and bug-free as possible before releasing it than release it prematurely.

Grab some electronics cleaner from your local hardware store and don't run the keyboard ...

Start with installing the latest chipset drivers, then, failing that, check to see if you have a manual DNS server specified in the TCP/IP properties for your NIC. Windows XP Pro may be attempting to register with a non-existent DNS server. If all else fails, un-install and re-install everything NIC...

I understand exactly what you're talking about. I never wrote for fun, only when I needed to for school and contests, and I still managed to score 100% on the written essay portion of our S4 ELA Provincial Exam. I recently had a look at some of the essays I wrote in high school and shocked myself at...

I also don't run an illegal cracked copy of Windows from an unknown source.

I don't download porno, movies, and illegal software from the Internet either.

Have a look at the section entitled "Task Manager - Control/Alt/Delete - Doesn't Work" on the following page: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_t.htm Then, have a look at the following three pages: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.spybot.worm.html http://securit...
