Computers & Internet - 12 August 2007

my school requires that i have an actual antivirus program in order to use internet. i have macbook pro and plan on using parallels soon. i found that intego offers a dual protection package but i cant seem to find any reviews on it. should i get the antivirus dp or internet securit dp which has antivirus, firewall, antispam, antiphising, antispyware. im leaning on the internet security one but would it slow down my mac performance

In May 2006 I bought a Compaq Presario, AMD Athlon with 512MB, 160GB, and the processing speed isn't that great (I think it's less than 2.0 GHz).

My computer has had problems with the Internet since day one. First I had a Linksys router. My computer would lose the Internet every two weeks or so, yet my parents computers were also hooked up and didn't have problems like mine did.

Now I have a better router (Belkin), and I don't lose the Internet as often as I used to. But the Internet tends to be very slow, and sometimes it's not very responsive. I re-start my computer when it's having problems, and when I did a scan, there were no viruses or spyware detected...yet my fiance's computer, which is a brand new, expensive Dell hasn't had any problems so far.

I don't understand, why is it that my computer can run any program fine except for the Internet, and it's been having this
problem all along? Is it because it's a Compaq? Because the processing speed is low? What do I do?

I've had this gateway pentium 4 PC 500 GR for about 3 years that has had no problems with gaming, excel, or anything that I've asked of it, until now. I thought that ramping the memory with a 512 mg card would improve on the performance of the already 512 memory (2x256 mg cards) that is factory installed. I made sure that the speed matched (in this case 3200 & 400 mhz) and checked the most compatible memory for my computer on the Circuit city website. Well to make a long story short, the performance sucks and games that I had before upgrading that were not framing are suddenly preforming terribly and are locking up the computer. Is there something that I did wrong, or is there a driver that I'm missing, or what? Any suggestions?

My source is --> G:\MUSIC
My destination is C:\MUSIC

My attempted command line was:
xcopy G:\MUSIC C:\MUSIC /s /e /h

It started to copy fine but then it came across the following file in the following subdirectory
G:\MUSIC\70's\Janis Joplin 10 Cd Essential Collection
It the said = Unable to create directory.

What xcopy line will copy everything regardless of how long a directory - subdirectory - file name is or regardless what charachters are in it.

Any ideas? thanks

K so here is the code I am using:

Open Me.CommonDialog1.FileName For Append As #1
Write #1, txtGen.Text
Close (1)

commondialog1.filename is replaced where the user wants to save the file of course & txtGen.text is the text field of information to be stored.

But everytime it writes to the txt file it puts the information in quotes and that just won't cut it for what I want. I need it quoteless.

My laptpo was on my bed, on, and plugged in. All of a sudden, my battery charger started maing this hissing noise. Then my computer screen turned white. I unplugged my charger from my computer when I started to smell burning plastic, or something that smells like it. I'm not sure if it came from my laptop or my battery charger. I just this charger too. Roughly a couple of months ago.
My laptop wasn't on my bed for that long, either. Possibly 10 minutes, or a little more. And I've had my computer on bed for alot longer than that before too in the past.
Now, about my charger...I plug it into the wall and everything seems to be working. A little green light comes on, to let me now it's powered up, but when I plug it into my computer, the green light dims and starts to flicker, and it starts making that noise again. Plus that burning smell comes back.
This happened about an hour ago, and I haven't been on my computer since. It's off. Does anyone know what's happening? Any ideas?

I work for a company that has about 50 employees. The IT guys recently blocked our ability to stream music from on-line sources. Their reason for doing so is because they say it slows down the connection. We have a T1 connection (from what I understand it's like the fastest) and I would guess that if every employee was streaming music in from their favorite source no one would notice a difference. I know there is a way around this... Can anyone offer me up any advise please.

I have a Dell Dimension E510, which came with 256 megs of ram, a Radeon x300 SE 128 meg graphics card, Intel Pentium 4 processor, and a 305 Watt power supply. The components I'd like to buy for 3D gaming are: a 400 watt power supply, a GeForce 8800 GTS 320 meg graphics card, and 2 gigs of RAM.
Does anyone suggest this setup for a 3D gamer? Also, I'd like more sites to purchase a 400 watt power supply for my E510.

I hav tried to overclock my CPU by adjusting the multiplier, the frequency, and my CPU voltage (to stablize it all) but every little change i do causes my computer to crash and give me a blue screen that says that the chages cannot be applied. I tried making the smallest changes possible but it still crashes. I even tried using the "AI overclocking" feature which is supposed to be set to how the comp sees fit., it still didnt work.
