My computer was going straight to the desktop upon start up, but now it goes to the login screen first. (My kids must have been messing with the settings).It doesn't require a password, I just have to click on my user account (which is the only account on the computer). How do I get it to bypass the login screen? I have Vista Home Premium. I have already done the controluserpasswords2 and gone in and set up the computer to automatically log me in, but for some reason it doesn't work! Help!

Don't you hate those pesky software updates?

Don't you hate it when it seems every single day Firefox browser wants to install a new update. Every time you open a PDF file Adobe reader bugs you to install rev 15.0.0.x, and two days later yet another revision arrives. And then you have the perpetual Microsoft stream of security fixes. It seems as if we're always being asked to rebooting our systems or restart our programs, because the software developers at these companies cannot release a stable product.

Don't you hate this? All we want to do is work on the machine.

I recently responded to an email that had about 30 people attached to it and it added each of them to my contact list.

How can I stop if from adding anyone I email or reply to? I want to keep a very select group of contacts and that is it.

Thanks in advance.

Like a strip of pink behind them or something with the text slightly bigger than the strip.
If you do need an example there's one here:

Windows XP sucks big time. And Vista is too slow. This is the last straw and I am done with Microsoft. Can you guys give me some tips on how to install Linux? And another question. I have two other Hard Drives on my pc. After installing Linux, do I have to reformat those harddrives or will they be recognized? Or should i back up everything on dvds? Thanks.

I posted a question a few weeks ago and only got one answer and it didn't really help. I need to download The Rosetta Stone, the Spain Spanish version, Level's 1, 2 and possibly 3.
It would help if someone provided step-by-step instructions on how to download them. Thank you.

I have a wireless Di-624 router and an Alcatel Speedtouch 510 ADSL router. I cannot get DHCP working for wireless and Internet neither. Where should i connect the cable coming from the alcatel, in the WAN port or ethernet 1, on the wireless?

How to also get DHCP. When i activate DHCP on wireless, i get a bad DNS, not the one from ISP.

i heard that only toshiba offers restore disc now for cmputers. All other companies dont. Is this true? If so, then geek squad at best buy offer to make a restore disc for your computer/notebook for 20 bucks. Is that worth it?

I have a friend who is very old and does not see the sense in buying a new PC and so is running Windows 98SE without WinZip.

I am trying to get him onto broadband and have needed to download some zipped files from his ISP in order to get the modem to work.

I can only seem to find the latest version of WinZip (11.1) for download for a free trial which will be ideal coz he'll only need it this one time.

What I need to know is if Windows 98SE will support this, as the WinZip site is crap and doesn't tell you anything other than V.11.1 now works well with Vista!!!
