It's supposed to be doable. I won't use messenger because I apparently can't use messenger without also using .net passport (and yes, I know the password isn't the same as my windows password). I think passport is a bad idea. Now whether or not you agree with me on that isn't the point. The point is that I haven't been able to use Remote Assistance through email and would like to know how to do that.

Thanks!

On my home computer (Windows98se, 256 MB RAM, 800 MHz Pentium III Processor). I haven't changed any settings on my system (except updating the Firefox browser). They don't do this when I look at the from my computer at work. This seems to have started within the last 2 weeks.

This is an older machine, still running win98. When I power it off, the next time I start it, the settings are all back to default.
It won't power down, or go to screen saver, until I reset it manually.
Desktop icons , toolbars, font size, everything goes back to default. I am saving for a new computer, but I can't really afford one right now.
What could it be?

This is (not) for the icons, it is for screens such as Yahoo mail screens.

I uploaded it about 3 hours ago and the video was 20 seconds long. Surely it should be there by now? I can watch the video from my account, (my videos) But when I do a search it isn't there.

I have a WGT624v3 Wireless Firewall Router from NetGear, It worked on my old computer but I have a new one now and I can't make it work. I think I was suppose to download some files from http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/n101649.asp and http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/WGT624v3.asp but I don't know what to do after I've downloaded them.. they're just files.

I think it has something to do with the routers access place which is http://192.168.1.1 but it doesnt ever come up..

and on this page I tried to follow the steps but no networks ever come up. http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/n101692.asp
and this page REALLY confused me. http://kbserver.netgear.com/inquira/default.asp?ui_mode=answer&prior_transaction_id=156673&action_code=5&highlight_info=16777285,42,46&turl=http%3A%2F%2Fkbserver.netgear.com%2Fkb_web_files%2FN101496.asp&answer_id=6972361
I'm having trouble how to setup the router on my new computer so please try to help me understand! Thank you!! =]
