The default location for this folder is in the 'My Music' folder." Now I checked the my music folder and iTunes in inside it. I tried re-downloading iTunes, but the same error message keeps coming up. Can anyone help me?

I've always thought that 100% - System Idle Process = CPU Usage %. My task manager shows that my CPU is using 3% extra. For example, right now System Idle Process says 82, but CPU Usage is at 21%, instead of 18%. System Idle Process plus the other processes add up to 100, however. So what's up? Thanks.

OK, I know this is a dumb question, but, to where is the cable from the modem actually connected? To the cable outlet thing for my TV? I know for DSL the modem just connects to the phone jack. But where does the cable modem connect to? Also, I don't need a home phone line to get Comcast internet right? I just have a cellphone and I don't want to get a home phone line. Is there any special installation needed for Comcast? Or can I just order the modem, install it, and I'm ready to go? Or does the Comcast guy have to come and install something?

How do you set up a wireless network that has a modem? I really don't want to unplug any of the cords that are already in place. is there a way to plug a wireless tower in the computer or modem without having to mess around with other wires?

It's really getting on my nerves now. Some of it's okay, you can sort of ignore it, but I really can't be ar*ed with a lot of it. They just do it anyway, so you log on to find stuff you didn't ask for, therefore weren't expecting.
Same with avast etc. - what are they doing to us?
Or is it just me?
