I am trying to clean up my comp, and found a few trojans which I manually wiped from my registry, since my virus scanner was not picking them up. But the problem was not solved. I went into safe mode, and attempted to run the virus scan through their. About 5 minutes into the virus scan, my laptop shut down. Not a restart. It just powered off.

I tried to go back into normal windows mode, and halfway through the windows XP screen where it shows the little loading indicator below the xp logo, my laptop shut off again.

I tried several times to boot it up, and kept getting the same problem.

Safe mode however works, which is what I'm using right now.

Finally I tried to do a system restore, and guess what. The laptop powered down as soon as I hit the Ok button for the restore.

So there's my problem. Pesky virus, no way to find it. Laptop keeps powering down when I even attempt to do so. Any tips before I have to reformat?

I work for technical support and it never fails, whenever a customer calls in, they lose all knowledge of how to use their computer. How do they function every day without technical support on the other end of their phone?

I know it sounds odd to still be using Windows 3.1, but one of my RAM chips was busted, and now that's all my laptop can handle. What can be used to access the IR Port? I would like to transfer data from my palmtop to it.

Thanks

So I think that perhaps my puppy bit onto the screen of my ipod and ruined it. There are lines all over the screen and it is all kind if like in a negative. The words which are usually black or blue are now white and the background which was white is now black. The backlight kind of radiates between being bright and dark and its just a mess. As far as I know the ipod still works and plays music, but its just a complete headache to look at plus its a video ipod so there goes all of my videos.

Anyways, does anyone know if there is anyway this can be fixed? If it can is it even worth the money? I don't want to have to pay for a whole new one, but, as ridiculous as this is, I don't want to have to go without having one. Any help?

I formatted my computer and now when I start it up after two minutes everything freezes up. The computer won't respond to any command. What could it be? Is it the hardware? I did not upgrade any software or hardware! Yes, I tried ctr alt delete, even that doesn't work.

I know there are PDA devices, but I want to find my mother a simple handheld portable device for making notes. It must be small so she can carry it in her purse. NO, my mother does not like portable phones. Maybe, if I can get her to using a portable device for listing and notes she will start using a portable phone. It took a year if not more before she would use a VCR now she makes sure it is set for her soaps. If anyone knows of a small inexspensive device for me to introduce her to for grocery listing I would appreciate it. I want her to start carrying a phone.

Apparently "the owner of the protected content" requires that I update DRM before I can view it. Is this safe to do? Have I unwittingly downloaded something dodgy?

Thanks!

It asks if I want to save a document after I have already done a "Save as" for that file. (I know I may have hit "Save" by mistake.) But what happens is, I say yes, I want to save the changes to the file I am working with, but then the box shows up for me to create a new file name. even though it already has a name..

For 2nd time in 2 years, one of my hard drives has crashed. Both of them by Western Digital, who is ranked quite high for quality. Shouldn't hard drives last longer than 2 years?
