Yes we reset the modem. Power off and also a pinhole reset a couple times each now. Ya, they thought maybe so also a bad modem. That is probably why they gave me this WRONG one to begin with, just to mess with me! After I have done so many complaints about bad phone lines and the near $300 credits i...

I am only using their stuff because for things like this they would try to get out of repairs by saying my stuff was the problem. Thank's for the tip about the wired/wireless not sharing. That alone will save some of my hair pulling for something else. :lol I will probably try to uplink my Linksys w...

I know I am missing a simply turn off sound setting somewhere but I still hate the click sound when I click the mouse in Win Explorer. I do so much in Explorer on the drives it is like dripping water torture, click, click, click,
Any idea where to turn off the mouse clicking sound in Xp and Win 7?

Thanks. I might try to get use to Aero and see what all it may do, but some things I don't like much yet. Not too crazy about fade in fade out stuff, I like things to just jump open and suddenly go away when I open close things. I change my window sizes accidentally bumping them into the edge of the...

Thanks. I was looking at the USB 3 external drive cases. Since all computers have the USB ports but some older systems don't have Sata. I could add a PCI Sata card if it's my system. I think I need some new external cases and more drives, trying to decide what is most usable in the future also. I do...
