Hello all I am oddly aggravated here. I seem to be the only one who hates the new look vista has on the folders (that 3d sided doubled preview of thumbnails) I want the normal thumbnail view to show like in XP..

any intelligent masterminds out there can help me?. So far Ive only had moronic answers in my previous questions. This would mean alot to me since my work is affected by this it slows me down.

I spent way too long downloading a Youtube video from a website (I've got a slow connection because I live in the country), and as soon as I started to play it, my computer crashed. Could the Youtube video still be in my computer somewhere? And if so, how can I find it?

I really don't want to download the whole thing again, and have my notebook crash AGAIN.

How do I know if I have DSL, Dial-up, or T1? I have a laptop and I have highspeed internet. I don't have to be plugged into anything to use internet. I don't have a phone line so I don't think I have dial-up...

Hi,
I am tired of getting automated spam and junk emails
I have noticed that often when I send an email to a company, they require me to enter some wierd character string so automatic spammers cant send them junk.
Is there a way that I can require anyone sending me an email to my yahoo address to have to do this entering a character string first?
I would love to have that feature, but not if it would cost more money. Is there a free way to have this feature if your answer is to upgrade to some expensive email acccount that wont help me i need to be able to require people sending me email to my Yahoo email address to first be required to enter some crazily written funky character string first that only human eyeballs can read.....you know what I am talking about....we all have to enter them before we can send an email to many "contact us' links on companies' websites to make sure we arent spamminng them and we are human with a legitimate email.How can I get this for myself? thanx

My parent's always wants me to send them pics, programs, etc.
I hate attaching them to e-mails etc....it tends to be cumbersome.
Is FTP the best approach to just dump stuff to his PC? If so, how do I do that "safely".
Or is there a better alternative than FTP or e-mail attachment?

i downloaded a patch for a capture card i was going to use.

well i dont have a virus scanner on the computer, and i forgot that i had uninstalled it a week ago.

i right clicked the file and clicked scan, then remembered oh i dont have a scanner.

so i wanted to just delete it instead of use it, but now it says its in use by another process, ive rebooted a few times and just want it to go away.

basically how do i figure out what process is running the file so i can just end the process and delete the file

i was downloading this "transformers game demo" but then i cancel it because it was going to take like 4 hourse but then i realize seeing this thing on my desktop which looks like a white box with a blue bar on top of it and 3 dots on the right side of the blue bar (some sort of icon), and it doesnt go away even if i try to delete it, it says it is bieng used by another person or program and that i have to close all windows, and i do that but t still doesnt get deleted, i try to download it again but the same thing happens so now i have 2 of those things. i dont understand why wont it get deleted when it's not being used by anyone or anything. (btw: i used mozilla firefox and this didnt happen to me before when i was using Internet explorer. thanks.

How do I get my master volume back on my computer?
It's a long story on how I lost it. My cousin erased everything from my computer and so the master volume deleted with everything too. Now I would like to know where to get it for free without it harming my computer. I checked my speakers and everything is connected right. But I need to get my master volume back in order for it to work. Please and thank you

My desktop items are now highlighted in blue. I want them to be clear with no backround as before. I looked at other answers about changing the drop shadow, but when I right clicked My Computer, went to the advanced cisual effects and looked at drop shoadow, it was checked. I tried checking it and unchecking it a couple of times, but nothing happened. I'm using Windows XP, if you didn't know.

ASUS Main board A7N266-VM
NVIDIA GeForce2 Integrated GPU (onboard)
768 MT RAM 266 MHz


First I changed the power pack…, then I started the PC and there was NO internet! a friend of mine told me that it might be that my network card was deactivated or something like that. when i reinserted my old power pack the internet was still not working! I am currently on a friends computer.

When the one they advertise is always a stock model that has little if any use to the average person. They never even have MS word or simple program like that and all their hardware is bottom of the barrel. I think its wrong, especially since so many people don't understand the concept of what needs to go into a computer to make it run certain things and they end up buying something they can't even use. Its not because they were trying be cheap ,its because that's what was advertised and they assume its adequate. The price gouging ,even on those crap models is insane.
