Okay I have Trend Micro PC-cillin and it continues to tell me the same message again and again. It says C:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web folders\ibm00002.dll has a trojan in it.

Now i searched for the file and tryed to delete it but it says access is denied. I tryed to clean it and it wont let me. If anyone knows how to stop these pop ups or clean said file let me know.
Its slowing my computer down and im really considering deleting most of my stuff.

When i put a CD into my laptop it responds and opens Media Player and works great.
But when i put a DVD into my laptop it does nothing. I have a DVD player called PowerDVD and I'd put the DVD into the laptop and nothing will happen. So i'd open PowerDVD and nothing would happen. It'll tell me to insert a disk. WTF! Please help. I looked at my D Drive and it says nothing is in it as well. How can it read my CDs but not my DVDs?

My computer (a compaq, vista laptop) will randomly shut down! Sometimes its right when i start it....sometimes in the middle of something...and sometimes something will be loading and it'll just shut down!
It might be a virus...but could it be something else?

on the HD, power button, and reset cables there appears to be a arrow symbol on one of the sockets for each of the cables. Does this signify the + or - pin?

I turned it on and at first the apple icon came on. Then it spun around for a long time. I turned it off. I did it again and then we heard a some clanking inside the computer. I turned it off. Then, I turned it on again and the screen is blank...on but nothing there. What do I do now. I have Applecare but I don't think they cover accidents. Hmmm. any way to see if there is anything salvageable?

Some sites i've noticed (ESPN, blockbuster, facebook) won't load on my laptop. I've tried both firefox and internet explorer. They work on my other computer. I don't think this is a popup blocker issue or anythign like that. Any idea as how to fix this problem?

I'm having trouble connecting to wireless networks (all of them, not just mine). Windows does not see any networks, although other programs do, and I cannot connect to any network unless I go into preferred networks and manually enter the SSID. Then it sometimes connects, and sometimes just drops all preferred network information it had saved.When it does connect, it still refuses to acknowledge the connection or that there is even a network. I think the problem started yesterday, as it spent the day in an eternal state of "Aquiring Network Address" although I could still browse the web (with no network address it seems).

Other relevant information: Windows XP SP2, no new hardware or software added anytime near the start of the problem.

Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated...

Ok my stupid little cousin was over yesterday and completely rearranged the little icons down at the bottom of my screen on my Mac computer! It's bugging me so bad that they are out of place and I can't remember how they were originally!
So anyone with a Mac please tell me how all the icons are supposed to be arranged because mine are all out of place and it is driving me insane!!!

I have found trial/demo versions that will convert the first 5 minutes of a video. My 9 year old bought a video on Itunes but he doesn't have an IPod, he has a Nextar MP3 player that plays videos.

I have a pretty old"hp pavilion mx 90" desktop (I am 13, it is actually my parents') with ...
19.1 GB memory on the C:\ partion, 8.57GB is free
Windows ME edition
256 MB RAM
AMD Athlon processor

that was just to demonstrate how truly ancient this computer is..
They will not sell it, so what I need to know is where I can buy a RAM upgrade, 512MB at least, for very cheap,(I can buy online) and if it would be worth buying a new processor and Windows XP or if we should just get a whole new computer.

I also need to know where to find cheap laptop RAM, maybe about 1GB

Another thing...
If I get a new laptop, different than above, which brand should I get, regardless of the price,(please nothing un-realistic ex. dell with 3.4gb ram, 3GHz dual core processor, ect)
And where should I purchase this laptop?

I am about to replace my computers basic chassis with a new gaming case. It is a Emachine t6414, and uses a 300w power supply. The case I have bought comes with a 450w power supply, but there are rumors that it dies a lot. If I install the new power supply can it potentially destroy the computer and make it unusable? Should I use the old 300w supply, use the free 450w or buy a new 400w that is garenteed to work? Thanks.

I see under disk management that I have a Primary partition (C:) and a logical drive (D). My computer is saying that my C: is full as I gather that is where I have been saving, by default, all my programs to; while the D: is virtually empty. I am not allowed to move program files from C: to D: so the problems remains. Should I just re-install my operating system (XP Professional)? Am I to remove the partition or keep it? That is also a bit of confusion! I would prefer to avoid using a program like partition magic. Anyway to this internally? Also, it is no problem reinstalling Windows if it is more efficient as I do not have anything important other than program files. Please and Thank You ahead of time!

Happy Holidays!
