Other - Computers - August 2006

I have two Compaq computers at home, connected to a DSL gateway. If I make them hibernate before I go to bed, inevitably one or both will awaken from hibernation during the night. I want to know how to prevent that from happening and why it is happening.

I know that it has nothing to do with the LAN because it happens even if I turn off the DSL gateway, effectively meaning that the computers have no LAN connection at all. It seems like it must be some software, presumably some unwanted junk that HP puts on there, that causes it to wake up on its own. I'm just surprised because I don't know how software can make a computer come out of hibernation or how to find the offending piece of software and nuke it.

My Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse are not detected on the system boot screen, but work perfectly fine from the logon screen forward. I have the newest version of iTouch etc. 'Keyboard initialization failure' is a common message now every time I startup. It tells me to press F8 to change the settings. How am I supposed to do that if my keyboard wasn't initialized? If anyone has any suggestions let me know. This is starting to get VERY annoying.

My Modem is not working so I went to device manager to see if I needed to enable it. But the Port (COM ) is missing. I have used my fax almost every day in the past. I can't figure out what happened.

Whenever my parents have a computer problem, they call me to fix it. The problem is that I live 1 hour away from them and everytime they need something fixed, I have to travel. Is there any program that I can install that will allow me to work on their computer from my home? If so, what do I have to do?

I recently got a spyware, antispynet.com, as well as other nasty spyware programs on my computer. I've tried very hard to get rid of them. I think I might have done the trick; but now, after a few minutes of being on, my computer crashes. It takes me to a blue screen which discusses the computer crash, and then restarts.

This initially happened only when I ran adaware to get rid of the bugs - I figured it was a virus that made my computer crash when I ran the adware program, but now, it happens after just a few moments. Please help. My computer is USELESS now - just keeps crashing moments after startup.

Can I do anything besides wipe and reload the whole computer? I'll lose all my files....

I have a Macintosh Ibook, in which I'm exchanging for a Macbook, next month. It seems to freeze every once in awhile, even when you restart. And sometimes when you try to restart, you get the bomb and have to restart it manually. Any help here? (I'm not sure what category would fit it for troubleshooting errors.)
