Computers & Internet - 9 October 2006

I am doing some research into JPEG compression and was wondering can anyone help me with these questions?

What company, angency, group or other bodies created or maintain the standard?
For what kind of data is the format designed? What is its purpose?
What advantage does the format have? For what data is it best used?
What disadvantages does the format have? For what data does it not work well?
How does the method work?

Back in march of this year I saw an advert for my ISP stating they could supply an 8mb conection.
I checked on the net to see if they could supply me with this speed in my area at their site, the site said yes.
I rang the ISP to join and asked at that point if they could supply an 8mb connection and was told yes, with this in mind I agreed to sign up to a £17.99 8mb contract
I noticed to my disapointment that my connection speed was no more than just a 2mb, I spoke to the technical team and they said they would look into it.
After 5 months they disconected me with no prior communication, saying that I hadn't payed for the service when checking I found they were correct so I offered to pay £89.95 for the 5 months and they refused it. Saying I owed £100.97
Even Though I should of only been billed £14.99 a month for a 2mb connection total of £74.95 Now they won't give me a MAC number.
I was told at no time until they disconnected that they didn't have an 8mb connection.

I never had a problem with plugging in a usb mouse or keyboard in the past, it would automatically install, about a week ago i connected a usb mouse to my laptop and it displayed "usb device detected" and then requesting drivers, i tried all 4 ports and no joy, i tried another mouse and that too is asking for drivers, i tried mice that previously worked and no joy, i tried a usb keyboard that i previously used and no joy, i don't recall any major software changes, i did start using the standby feature recently as i stopped using hibernation, please help as this is rather annoying....

The "exe file" must have been deleted by my anti virus, however, during startup an error message always appears --windows cannot locate eksplorasi.exe. What does it imply and how else do I undo it?
I've already tried the following:
1. Click on Start
2. Click on Run
3. Type MSCONFIG
4. Click on the startup tab (its all the way to the right)
5. Find the item in the list that refers to eksplorasi.exe and uncheck it.
6. Click apply and ok.

This didnt work because the "explorasi.exe" or "worm_rontokbro" isnt even in the list. However, I did see a row that had no start-up item stated...but it did have "HLKM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" against it' empty "start-up" item.
This is what confuses me.

I plugged in the hub and connected my PC to it using a PCI wireless card, the installation seemed to go fine and the internet was working perfectly. I then did exactly the same process on my girlfriends laptop and that also seemed to go smoothly. Then later on in the evening after a reboot, the connection on my PC completely disappeared! The wireless card can find the BT hub but can't connect to it due to the encryption settings being wrong or something like that. Even going through the BT installation process doesn't work as it says it can't connect to the hub. The laptop still connects fine to the internet though. Any idea as to why the connection doesn't work on the PC? Thanks in advance!
