Computers & Internet - 8 December 2007

My computer keeps freezing for no reason. For the past three days every game I play freezes, every dvd will freeze, and even firefox and explorer will freeze and not respond. What gives? I have 72% free and everything has been defragmented.

I just downloaded AVG Free Edition and it found this

Should I remove them?
Are they dangerous?

My laptop is working fine so I'm not sure if I should remove them because I don't want to mess up my laptop :/
Thanks

Up until a few days ago, I listened to live365 almost every day. A couple of days ago, it quit working on my computer. I can log in and navigate to my favorites, but I can't open a station page or listen to audio. When I click on the speaker to listen, half the time the window pops up but doesn't finish loading, the other half of the time I get an "undefined" message. I've tried changing my Norton and toolbars pop up settings, and everything else live365's help page suggests but it doesn't work. I've tried adjusting my listening speed on their site and updating to IE7. My computer caught a virus the other day and this is about when it started acting up. But Norton caught it a minute or two after the warning popped up, and both youtube and rhapsody still work, along with every other website I've been on since. Since live365 hasn't responded to my e-mail, I was hoping someone on here would know what to do.
Thanks in advance.

Here's my setup:

Compaq PC in the basement with an ethernet card and a USB wireless adapter that connects to the internet through our Linksys WCG200 wireless cable gateway.

HP PC in the living room with an ethernet card and a USB wireless adapter that also connects to the internet through the gateway.

Both running Windows XP Home SP2.

I bought a CAT5e (which should be backwards-compatible with regular CAT5, correct?) crossover cable to network the HP and the Compaq together to share files, but I can't get them to see each other. The HP HAS TO stay connected to the internet through the wireless adapter - there's no other way. I'm willing to give up the wireless connection to the Compaq in the basement if it means I have to share the HP's internet connection with the Compaq over the ethernet cable. My question is, how do I configure the two computers so they see each other with the crossover cable? If there are any internet resources, could you point me to them?

Hi. I have a stylesheet in which I want to add the website header and a photo that will then appear on every page of my site. I have tried using the background-image declaration but for me it doesn´t work. Apart from wanting the header (a .gif) and the photo on each page, I also want to make some text, a backbutton and the menu appear on each page. I am new to CSS and basically, just need to find out how to write/input these items just ONCE in the stylesheet instead of having to repeat the same thing on each page.

Many thanks for your help.

I downloaded so many videos off of Veoh that it took up all the room on my hard drive and one day when I turned my computer on, everything was gone, but it says my hard drive is full still. So I'm guessing my videos are still somewhere on my computer, but I can't find them. What is going on?
