Trust me when I say that I know enough about my computer to know that the solitaire game is gone. Not only is the link missing from the games folder on the start menu, it's missing when you go to the root folder where the games are. It's gone. So my question is--can it be replaced? If so, how? I don't want all the super versions of solitaire, I just want plain old standard solitaire (which seems impossible to find LOL). BTW my disk drives don't work, so putting my XP CD into the computer is not an option. Can this be downloaded anywhere? Thanks!

I'm temping in an office before returning to uni and suspect that once I've processed all the work that's it. As I'm payed by the hour I want to entertain myself via the internet. What are your top sites to do so? Top answer will go to the person with the best site that I can access through my company's internet filter.

Sony Vaio - desktop PCV-RX550. Came with 256 mb, SDRAM, expandable to 512 - which I have already done. Is there any way I can add more memory (such as external card or drive) without changing the mother board. Computer works great, and I hate to have to upgrade just to get more memory! Thanks in advance!

It seems to get around every program I use- i think its even attacking the antivirus software. It won't let Microsoft Update install what it needs to get rid of it. I can' t delete it, move it, or anything - it's detected as read-only.

What was really annoying was that Zone Alarm was allowing hundreds of programs to hijack my computer, with that message next to it "Look how ZoneAlarm is protecting your computer!" Yeh. Right. It's also hijacked my top menu bar on explorer, so I can't see my address. Basically the controls are faded out.

I found the registry entries, but no antivirus will touch them! They are:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\\Start Page
iemain:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\\Default_Page_URL
ieabout:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AboutURLs\\SecurityRisk
and a few others.

Those are the exact infected registry entries. Is it okay to delete them manually using RGEDIT? Or is it a gamble?

Cheers

I want to edit pictures so that I can use it as an animation to make a home dvd of our vacation. Say example I want to start with a map of a picture and edit it so that it shows where we travelled in animation (eg a blue line moving up the map). And so that pictures move around and that I can animate and put things on. Is there a free product on the market? If not what can I use to do that?
I also want to cut certain parts of mp3's so I can use it on the home video! Is there any free programs available to do that?

hi,

i have 2 pc wired to a router and 1 laptop wirelessly connected to a netgear router. everything was working before for till now. my problem is my internet connection constanly drops out everytime pc #1 is opened. first I suspected its pc#1's panda firewall, so tried to disable it for a while and it was ok again ,after 20 minutes or so the internet connection hardly works or most of the time no internet connection at all. then there times it works fine but it will only last for about several minutes. The only thing that will make pc#2 and laptop work fine all time is when i totally shutdown pc#1. Appreciate any help,ty!!!!

here are all the things i've done and important info that might help in solving my problem:

-installed router by using spoofing or cloning method. cloned the mac add of pc#1
- pc#1 windows xp firewall can't be access (tried everything including command lines in run prompt)
-the problem started when my brother downloaded some patch from an online game.

I do submit the report. But as it comes up all of the time, I only do it once in a while. Always comes back with the answer, "no solution".

On my network, every time I log on to any website or connect to any web site that uses windows media player, my network crashes. I can logon or connect if it is just one computer but not through the router. Everything else works perfectly. This is a royal pain! Tried adjusting network settings in windows media player. No disk came with the Lynksys router. Went to the website, no disk required.
