The icon is located in the lower right half of the monitor. When I place the cursor on it the message reads that 'updates are ready for your computer'. I beleive that this is some type of spyware/adware or worse.

its a dell, replaced the mother board a year ago cause I fried it. But it recently started getting pretty hot really quickly, even then its hovering over open space. I cleaned the fans and heat sink, blown the insides clear of dust, but the problems still remain.

What could be going on, and how do I fix this?

I have a Gateway notebook that started having problems and required me to return to the warehouse to be repaired. Gateway received my notebook on May 19th and as of today, June 5th, they are telling me the same thing. Call back in 3 business days. This is bullcrap. All they needed to do was to replace a cable for the LCD screen. I only had the notebook about 5 weeks before the problem occured. What can I do to get my notebook back? How long can a repair shop take without some type of intervention?

I have an HP Deskjet 842C. If I start a print job and see an error, like it's in the wrong font, I can never stop it cleanly. If I turn off the printer to try to clear the document, it spews out several pages of garbage when I turn it back on. Canceling the document in Windows print manager has no effect. I only print documents of 10 pages or less. This has been a problem with Windows 2000 and Windows XP. I remember in the old days you could stop a print job by just turning off the printer. Is there a way to prevent this problem, or alternatively, is there a modern inkjet printer that doesn't have this problem?

Thanks,

I have a 2.53Ghz chip with a ATI 9550 video card and at the moment 512MB PC2100 of memory (2x256mb sticks). Will I see a performance increase in gaming if I get a 512MB stick of PC2100 and add it to 1 of the 2 256mb sticks for a total of 768mb vs 512mb since the mobo only has 2 slots for memory?

After my laptop has been running about 2 hours a message always pops up. "services.exe-application error" then it says the memory could not be "read". if i press ok or cancel it then says system shut down in 1min, then the laptop always restarts.I have changed the memory, and it still continues to do this. If anyone knows what the problem could be please help me out and tell me how to fix it. thanks

I always run spyware checks and I know I don't have any extra junk loading. Would it work if I just unplugged the drive? It just adds to the sluggish startup of windows.
