I am planning to buy a laptop and i have asked a few friends regarding the wireless internet connection that i can take and following are the choices that i arrived at.
1. I would need to buy a wireless router and get a WiFi connection which would work for a 50 metre radius (at my home i can use but cant go out)
2. I have to buy a wireless internet card that reliance offers ... this is basically a card that plugs in to my laptop and i can go anywhere (and i dont know how far this is reliable).
Is there any other way to get a wireless connection ? Also, I am not able to decide which one to opt for. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sony.

...does the guest account get scanned too?

Like, I am the administrator on my computer, but I have a guest account for anyone that wants to use it. I scan regularly, but was wondering if I had to log off my account and log into the Guest account and scan again.

I can put the watermark on in publisher and paint.net but then I cannot upload into photobucket, forums or blogs. I can only access them in the area I have created them.

I'm looking at buying a new wireless router. I need some advice for which one would be the best.
I'll be living with 2 other guys. All three of us are heavy internet users, and I'm a big online gamer (Xbox Live).

Here are the models I'm considering.

I need a computer that is great for moderate offline and online gaming, playing video clips(e.g. youtube), downloading movies, music, for DSL, and some daily homework tasks.
I would like to build my own computer if possible.

Whatever the components are, I'm sure it will need lots of memory.

Anybody have any suggestions for the components that will maximize my needs?

I just got my computer back from Geek Squad less than 4 hours ago, and just as before I sent it to them, I have this same problem. Whenever I play this MMORPG, after about 5-10 minutes of gameplay I get this whirring sound from my computer, the game disconnects from the server soon after, along with my internet connection. Before I sent it to GS I had this problems months before, but it stopped and I could play the game without this issue at all. I've tried closing out extra programs without luck. The same whirring sounds occured when I used to play The Sims 2. I doubt it's something to do with memory because my computer was wiped when I picked it back earlier today [New hard drives and CD drives]. I only get the whirring sound when I'm playing the RPG, and when I used to play the sims, never when web browsing or such.

Is there any hope or will I have to get a new computer?

Hi Y'alls!

This is an emergency!

I recently downloaded Messenger Live (not the Yahoo! one) and everytime I try to sign in, it says that my firewall is blocking it so it won't work. How can I unblock it from my firewall so that I can be able to communicate with my friends again?

If you answer, please give me a thorough explanation and how I can fix it?

Thank you y'alls, you rock!

My PC was infected by a virus few days ago and all the anti-viruses weren't able to eliminate the problem, they find viruses and trojan horses and delete them , but each time I restart or scan again .. they appear again ... so I though to format the hard disk ... but when I boot from the Windows xp sp2 cd, it starts loading the different drivers and stuff .. but just before the setup window appears ( the one from which you choose to recover, format or partition ) I get this error message :
"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and terminated. Run CHKDSK/F to check for hard drive corruption and then restart your computer"
what can I do?

I'm trying to find a good RSS reader, but I can't find any. I want one that will notify me, with a pop-up window or something, whenever it has found something new. I also don't want to have to manually tell it to look for updates, I want it to do that automatically. So basically, I want it to be constantly running in the background, and just notify me when something has been added to one of my feeds.

PS: I know about the RSS reader in Internet Explorer, but I use Firefox, so that RSS reader is useless to me.
