I can't understand why they would put this little addendum to it when it is obviously you have some kind of preventive maintenance in mind. I do anyway because it does make the computer run smoother.

I can connect to the wireless router alright, but there is still no Internet connection. I ran a diagnostic and it comes up with this:

*There may be a problem with the Domain Name Servers (DNS)

Windows attempted to find the well known host "www.microsoft.com" using DNS. The server responded that the name was unknown.*

Can anyone help me fix this problem? I can't find anything on the Internet. (Just to let you know I am using a separate computer to ask this question. I CANNOT connect to the Internet at ALL on the other computer running Vista).

Due to the many problems my customers are experiencing with Windows Xp and Vista, (crashing, freezing, lack of proper technical support) I am on a search for a good media based O.S.
I won't look for a business or office type, because there are many good add-ons to make your O.S. an office machine without it being imbedded in the O.S.

When I use PC Drummer on my Compaq laptop (750 mhz) I get all the volume I want, but on my HP desktop (2.8 ghz) I can't get enough volume. Both have XP, and the volume control is maxed on the desktop. Do I need another soundcard? How can volume be increased?

I think it is time for me to ditch my onboard graphics on my computer and have a real GPU. I was thinking of getting Nvidia or ATI Graphics. Either way I will buy a card with 256 MB of VRAM. So which is better I mostly play The Sims 2 w/ many Expansions and Rollercoaster Tycoon 3.

I've tried everything I can to view PNG images. I've looked at similar questions' answers, but none of those have helped.

My firewall is not blocking it. (I disabled it to make sure)

My quicktime isn't over-riding it, I don't think....?? (I read a thing about it,... but I couldn't find the IE preferences)

And I've tried other ways too... but I'm willing to retry them if they show up. I'm thinking that maybe the other ways were outdated, especially since I had to use different ways than they stated to get to certain places (like... options).

Thanks for your help!

I have DSL from AT&T and it runs at 768k. Not only on my computer, but all the computers in the house, the internet is going really really slow, the connection is horrible. I have tried repairing the connection, unplugging the modem, everything! I have a wireless connection if that makes any difference. I have always had the wifi and my internet has always been fast so it doesn't make any sense, and my connection is also secure. Whats wrong and how do I fix it?
Help!!!!

So you create a Truecrypt volume container (say J: drive) with a specified size, say 5gb. And you save some files onto this volume like you would a normal hard drive. After your done, you dismount. But then you accidently delete the volume container, do you then loose all the data in that container? I mean Truecrypt is good for hiding and encrypting data, yes, but if it can be deleted so easily (when dismounted), what's the point, there's no benefit.
