I have DirectWay and have a wireless router. I recently hardwired my computer in because I kept losing signal. The distance between my computer and the router is about 30 ft. But since I hardwired my computer in, it seems slower than when I ran the wireless adapter, i.e downloading videos and music. I was under the impression that wired was faster. What gives????

They look like they're about twice as expensive. Will a low grade Core 2 Duo 1.86 ghz for instance be faster that a regular 3.0 ghz dual core processor????????

I recently got a Dell laptop with windows XP professional already installed. It all looked New(it was a gift) I logged on as the Administrative User. 3 weeks ago I got the Cable-Digital Phone-RoadRunner.package. I go to the r.r. web site to Activate it, But I keep getting a message that says
"I need to have administrative priviliges to proceed."
My question is : Do I really need to do activate r.r.??
I have Yahoo already(DUH really?) and it goes super fast. Why do I need to activate my r.r. account. The people at Time Warner say that I do - but they can't seem to tell me what is wrong. Iam the ONLY one with a password on my computer and it says I am the administrative User. HELP + I'm Computer illerate, so keep it simple please. thanks

the registry entries deleted ?

Like, what if I go in there and delete them? I know it could **** up the comp, but why?

If a program is not on your comp any more, why does it still live on in registry entries?

I emailed the company and they say it works it is just me. I have tried it on several computers and they all do it. The program itself claims to be easy but I am left frunstrated everytime I have attempted to use it. I asked for a refund and they laughed in my face. I am just wondering if anyone ever got it to work and if so how? Big time buyer beware here!

Even when you can work out what they mean on one thing, there doesn't seem to be any consistancy on other ones.
Huh?

Should they implement them? - (Since it's pretty boring after level 5)
What Should Be The Points Needed?
What Should Be The Rewards? (Especially For LVL 10)

And what should be the Allowances and/or should there be new cool things you can do on these levels?

We have a ibook G4 right now that automatically will connect to any available airport signal without us paying for it! But our new mac mini won't, even though it has a built in airport card and should be able to do the same thing? What else should I do? I've tried fiddling around with the system preferences and nothing works. Any suggestions?????
