Hi, I use IE 7.0 on Windows XP.

It is running OK, but IE crashes when I "enable third party extensions" in the Advanced tab of the options menu.

What could the problem be and how do I resolve it?

I want to ask people their opinion, I know what I think but I want to hear from men and women what they think. So here goes....
1. Is it acceptable to find out that your partner has been on Facebook for sometime without inviting you to be a friend, and is stating they are single and looking for girls in their profile?
2. Is it right to state your single when you have been in a realtionship for 14months, to the 40 - 50 women friends he has on there as invited friends, that you have never heard of, or been mentioned. When you have never been invited to join your self?
3. Would it be considered reasonable to ask that his realtionship status is changed to "in a realtionship with you?"

What do you think?

I accidentally changed the setting for the dpi on my scanner and now I can't figure out what the setting needs to be. The scans come out grainy at 1200MB. I tried setting it at a higher dpi, 2400, and it states that I am scanning at too many MB. Any suggestions? Could it be something else that is wrong with the scanner?

I have a lot of songs (respectively); about 5,000. I want to free up some of the memory space so I the computer will function faster.

How would I back up most of my library to the hard-drive without having them on the computer? My computer is slowing down.

Also, I would like to be able to plug my hard-drive in and then listen to the music on the hard-drive through iTunes too.

Is there any way that I can do this?

Thanks a lot!

I built my own computer in 2002 and it's now starting to give out. Mainly the motherboard. I have a Soltek Socket A type mobo that just died and I would like to know what kind of a motherboard I should buy that will still be able to use my old hardware. Mainly, I want to be able to still use:

- my old CPU, an AMD 1800+/266 ATHLON 1.53ghz.
- my system memory, which is three sticks of Crucial Technology 512MB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 333 (PC 2700) Desktop Memory

Do I need to get a Socket A mobo or can I get any other AMD-supported motherboard?

Also, does it pay off more just to get a new mobo and a new CPU. I really don't need to use the computer for too much.

I have a ton of digital pictures on my computer and it is such a pain to view the picture, remember the file name, close the picture and then rename the file so that I can find it at a later time. Is there anything out there that helps with this?

My company purchased a large number of these monitors (viewsonic vg2030wm) - but we're having an issue. The only resolution that looks "normal" is 1680 by 1050. However, this resolution is way too high for the majorty of employees here. Every other setting is stretched horizontally or vertically. The correct drivers are installed. We're quite a bit frustrated that only the highest setting looks normal. Is there anything we can do to fix this without having to send dozens of monitors back? Thanks!

I'm trying to write a program to generate random number, within a range of predetermined numbers, while not having any duplicate numbers.
for instance:
I need 5 (non duplicate) numbers, between 1 and 10.

I tried using Rand, and then looping to regenerate number that were duplicated. But, that sat there running for about an hour, and never got all the numbers to be unique.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,
-Charles...

Windows Defender showed an alert message that my computer is infected by Trojan and I have to register to remove the Trojan. I didn't do it. I run my Norton Security Software (not free). It did not show that Trojan infected my computer instead Windows Defender has affected my computer. Therefore, I have deleted Windows Defender from my computer and now, I think, it's okay. Yet I have to wait few more hours and see. Now, what I want to know is Why windows defender showed like that while Norton showed windows defender itself?
