I switched to cable from earthlink(dial up) and now whenever I log on, the computer still tries to dial up with earthlink. I've deleted earthlink everywhere I see it, but it still tries to dial up each time I log on. Please give specific step by step instructions because I'm not very good with computers. Thanks.

I am informed that cleaning the system tray will relieve the pc of unneccessary memory usage. I should leave in as few as possible. Installing pogrammes over time fill the tray up and reduce efficiency. Is this true? However, the only advice so far is to remove the programmes, yet, I use most of these, so can I free memory like this yet keep the programmes intact? thanks!

saying something in Windows was updating and downloading. He came back after and hour and it was finishing up. I'm not sure how to take this, since he has (and still does on occasion) download games without asking me. I don't want to blame him for this unless I know for sure. Is there some kind of history for Windows that I can pull up that will show me what the computer was doing at 2am?

...whenever I "send a shortcut" to my desktop from the internet, the icon is always the Internet Explorer Icon (a lower-case e with a circle around it) - and I cannot change the icons. I go into properties and hit the "change icon" button, but everytime I select a new icon (and hit apply) it never changes. It seems the Explorer icon is over-riding any changes. Any ideas how to fix this? I have a desktop full of Internet Explorer icons! Thanks for any advise.

anyone else getting tired of microsoft's crap? my "new and improved" IE 7 frequently cancels my downloads, forcing me to use programs like getright to do it, and when im busy typing something or using a tab or window, it automatically switches focus to another window, not once, but 3-4 times, even if im working with another window. cant it wait till i get to it instead of getting bullied by a browser to work with the new tab/window? i have to fight with it to keep the window im working with in focus. no viruses/adware detected so far. i wonder how many people actually hate ms and think they have no other option... but then again this is what you get when you outsource labor to cheaper countries.

How do I unset Read-only of IE's Temp file folder "Temporary Internet Files". I have tried removeing read-only from properties of the folder, but in vain. I do not get any error message, but the next time I go to properties of that folder it is shown as read-only once again.

It's not the problem on my computer only as I have tried this on several computers.

Hi there,

any could advise why my microsoft outlook 2003 takes longer time than usual to reply or forward an html email I receive. Before i uninstall and reinstall my windows XP professinal, version 2002, SP 2 and microsoft office 2003 (including microsoft outlook), my microsoft outlook 2003 had worked very well, and that it brought me to the new window very quickly when i click on 'send/receive' button to reply an email. Now it's quite and quite slow to receive new window when i click on send/receive or forward buttons to email. Note: this just happens with HTML emails I receive/reply. For plain text emails, It responds rather quick without any problem.

My computer use Intel(R) Pentium 4 CPU, 2.80 GHz, 2.8 GHz, 2.00 GB of RAM. I use Trend Micro internet security 2007 (home personal firewall, Description: Security for computers connected to the Internet through a home network, rather than directly; Security Level: Minimum; Network Environment: Best Available Connection;Use Proxy: Yes

My ISP charges me ever time I have to call them for support. I said that this isn't right. You can't charge me for somthing that is your fault. They said "We Can" and I should sign up for the "tech support package" for unlimited calls for an extra $15.95 a month. I said I will be looking for a new ISP.

I plan on buying the vista home premium upgrade option for $160 dollars at Costco when released since I'm a gamer and my pc can handle it. .

It is not my auction, and I'm not advertising it, I just thought it is amazing how people can bid so much on something without knowing what it is!!
I can't post the auction number, but it is under the everything else category.
