Computers & Internet - 10 October 2007

I have azureus and having trouble because it says I'm firewalled. I have a linksys router which I can connect to wirelessly, or with a cord. I am running Windows Vista and Windows Live One Care. In my one care it has something about ports allowed, but they are all numbers in the 4 digit range. The recommended ports are 5 digits.

If you can help, please tell me what to do in VERY BASIC BEGINNER TERMS. Assume I'm a computer dummy (well I sort of am).

Thank you in advance for your help.

Oh, and please only serious responses. I don't know if people have time to read your "just because I want to earn a point" responses.

I'm looking to buy a grapic tablet for my dell inspiron laptop. There's so may out there, I have no idea which one to choose.

I'm not a profesional, but I'm not someone who just wants to scribble.(I'll be going to college for graphic art/design next fall) I'm looking for something in the middle-range. I want something with plenty of options, but something I can afford.
I'm thinking $75-200 range maybe $250.

I've heard good things about wacom but is that the best out there? (batteryless is a plus)

Hello,

I recently purchased a refurbished Laptop from Dell. The reason I bought a refurbished laptop was so I could have Windows XP instead of Vista. After receiving the computer I had some problems as far as freezing during boot up (right after I turn it on). The computer would either freeze when the Windows logo appears on the screen or it would freeze up before the logo even apeared.

I reinstalled windows to try and fix the problem but the computer continues to do this. This is my first laptop and I'm not sure if this is common for laptops or if I can fix it.

Please offer any advice on how to fix this problem. I am running Windows XP Media Center edition.

Thank you!

My computer is going extremely slow...it is full of worms and viruses! And what is worse is that I get some wierd pop ups at time that are not appropriate for younger children (ie downloading free "naughty" suff). As a concerned parent, I would really love to know how I could get rid of these worms and viruses. If you know of any programs I can safely download for free/free to try that could help me, please don't hesitate to tell me! Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have a wireless d-link router that is currently being used with cables! LOL, I don't know why! I have 3 computers in my home 2 desktop & 1 laptop. Only dsktps are connected to internet and that is using ethernet cables...(we have broadband net). I am wanting to get set up wirelessly. One desktop & the laptop are brand new. The other computer (main one hooked up to modem and all) is a couple years old. I no absolutely nothing about setting up wireless router to anything so I am wondering if someone can tell me what exactly I need for the set-up process and do I need anything for the secondary desktp and laptop? Wireless network cards? Adapters? How does it all work/fit in together? It all confuses me! I'm pretty good on picking it up once I get the basics but it just isn't clicking for me...if anyone can pass along help for a wireless network "dummy", I'd appreciate it! Thanks so much!

I know how to do the run and type in msconfig, been there done that. BUT how do I find out what I can disable at startup? There has to be certain ones by looking at them that you know you can get rid of, right? I really prefer not to have to type in every single one in a search to figure out how important it is, so I ask, is there a site that has a list of a bunch of stuff and tells you if you can get rid of it or not? I prefer not to get a million different sites but if there are a couple real good ones to use as reference, I'd greatly appreciate it. AND in the start up, the ones that have a check mark are the only ones running right? So does that mean the ones that don't have a check, I don't need? Is there a way to just delete it all out of there or only be able to disable it?

Also I have programs that I'm not sure I can delete, is there a way to find out about those as well? I've removed the ones I know I don't need but others look like I wouldn't need them. Thanks!! :)
