Computers & Internet - 22 November 2007

I have a windows XP with four users on the computer.

I clicked my profile this morning only to find that all my files on my account were gone! All the cookies, all my information, everything just looked like it had been restarted.

Strangely enough, all the programs I have downloaded were still there. The other three accounts, moreover, have not been touched -- they look the exact same and they still have all their files.

Do you have any idea what happened? Did someone hack my account? More importantly, is there any way to retrieve these files?

Thank you so, so much for your help. I am really really stressed out about this because I have had this computer for 5 years now and have never backed anything up (now I see the utter stupidity in that), and I have so many files that are really important that are now just gone!

Please help, and thank you so much in advance for your time!

My computer has been acting very strangely in the past week. Whenever I'm on my computer for more than 20-30 minutes, my background freezes and all the icons disappear. When I exit a program, the image of the program gets frozen on the background... Any help?

On my laptop- no matter where I am (ex my house, my moms, panera bread, college) the WIRELESS NETWORK CONNECTION list never shows any connection names it always says, "No wireless networks found in range" Even though the wireless network connected button in the task bar will be on and on mouseover shows the network name and i can access the internet so obviously i am connected. So what the heck is causing this? It's frustrating when I'm in a location with more than one signal and need to choose what I want etc etc... Any help?

My mom got a new wireless router that I am setting up for her. Set-up is Cable Modem, plus a desktop, plus the wireless router for her laptops. The desktop doesn't have a nic card (i took it and havent ever brought it back yet) however she has a linksys usb thing that converts the end of a cat5 cable into a usb.. (if that makes sense... sorry was up all night doing turkey- no sleep) Anyways that is busted and doesn't work well- and always comes lose and ends up being a disaster. SO MY QUESTION- Can I take the cable modem- and use the USB plug on the back of it and connect it to the desktop and at the same time use the cat plug in the back of it and hook that up with the wireless router? When I tried it- the laptop shows that is see's the netgear router and is connected- but can't connect to anything with the laptop. Im connected to the web w/ the desktop- so that part is working- also if i open a browser on the desktop and try to log into the router i get cannot find server

I need to be able to use a laptop and internet from remote rural sites where there is not cell phone service. Dish Network has satellite service, but requires a satellite be mounted on my pickup and then I would have to adjust the dish to receive from the satellite at each location. I would prefer something where I could login quickly. Thanks

Hi,
I am going to clean install windows XP on my computer from CD. But my installation CD does not have the Service Pack2. I want to avoid all that time I have to spend downloading it from the net once I do the clean install of XP Home Edition.
So how do make a copy of the Service Pack 2 files so I can install it from CD? Please provide me with some steps.
Thanks in advance

Receiving an auto-update of IE7, every screen has gone wrong, especially character spacing, image displays, tables.
Removing and reloading IE7 did not change anything. I do not believe I have any kind of virus.
Do you experience bad displays with IE7?
Examples:
- Bottom page of YA questions, the squares with numbers to jump to other pages are all on top of each other
- All "table" tags are shifted to the left,
- Character spacing are wrong in texts ("if" becomes "l")
Do you experience the same probelms?
Do you know why?
PLEASE: don't tell me to use another browser! I use IE7, FF, Opera and Netscape in 800, 1024 and 1200 resolutions to check the websites I design.

When I start up my Vista Laptop, I get several error messages when I get to my desktop. These messages say the same thing:
Sound Card not found. Unable to do streaming!
This is from something called Virtual Sound Drive. I have no problem with my sound at all and with streaming but this is a little annoying when it pops up.

Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Norton Spyware fails to detect 'snoop'.
It is not listed as a program on the PC.
It appears to be running permanently.
It is not a 'read only' file
I think it came unasked with a 'Karens Directory Printout' program downloaded some time ago.
.How can I delete it?

I just bought two 22" LCD monitors on put them on my glass desk. I have a keyboard tray with my keyboard and mouse on them. Whenever I type, the monitors shake because of the cheap keyboard tray. Even when I put the keyboard on the glass where the monitors are sitting they still shake. Anybody have any ideas as to how to secure them better so they don't wobble around when I type? It's annoying!

I've tried AVG...a lot of people say it isn't that great at picking up viruses, trojans, etc. I've tried Avast! antivirus...a lot of people rail on that one as not being very good, either (though it uses a lot less system resources). I have a 90 day trial of Norton Internet Security that has free updates, which came with the software on my computer. I know that Norton is a system resources hog. What do other people use to keep their computer safe from viruses, trojans, etc. for secure online banking and such?

I'm looking for a store that would sell the cheapest laptop. I'm not going to have anything installed on the computer or get insurance or anything like that. What store has a good laptop deal? Normal price? Holiday sales price? Do you think I could transfer my internet connection to the laptop for free? Is there a router range you have to be in for the laptop to work? I want to be able to work in the car and also when I go from Bradenton to St.Pete. How much would that cost? Please give me a direct link.

When I am at work, I can send email but when at home, I get an error message that says:

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'hi', Account: 'myname@mydomain.com', Server: 'smtpout.secureserver.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E


What could be wrong and how would I fix it? I have email through two different hosts so I don't think it would be the problem.

Whenever i switch the power on,the fan starts but there's no display in monitor.Both the red as well as green leds at the front of cpu glows simultaneously and there is neither a beep.I checked my harddisk drive,it works fine in another computer. My doubt was on the power supply unit but the mechanic claims the motherboard to be faulty. I just bought my computer 4 months before.I've put in enough money into it and really can't afford to invest this amount again this soon. My motherboard is "intel 945G series".How can i know where's the problem exactly?Any suggestions to repair my computer or anything useful related to this specific case. So if any one can help me please do so as i really need it.Waiting!
