Could be - Is this a work computer ? If so how are updates managed ? You could check the restore points of the other PC against this one for a hint. Has anything else changed on this one PC (new software, anti-virus update etc.)

Yep should do (well SP3 anyway) - clicky < the full list. It should also work in compatibility mode if you don't have or want SP3.

So it's from a legit source right ? (if not I'd be suspicious) If so :confused: can they send it in it's native format as .zipp is not a traditional recognised file type. You might be able to see the file type by opening it with notepad but that is a long shot (it works with Windows native i.e...

OK I'm not going to quote everyone that would take to long but hopefully these comments will address most comments: A 32 bit O/S will support up to 4Gig of RAM (address space) by it's very nature but the reason you see a max of 3Gig (in the O/S) is because 1Gig is used by devices as a physical...

Up to 4Gigs for 32bit O/S's of course ;) There no real answer to this question as the main factor is budget, any system can be balanced towards a particular task. For most applications and games a fast processor and RAM is important but of course you don't need an uber GPU for a 2D app machine...

I can't try this (test the data updates) because I'm not at work but you can link it by using Insert > Object or you could embed it but you'd have to move the data iirc. Here is a link for you with the various options.

I'll bite :p Best for PC (in no particular order) Older games: Doom - definative fps Elite Deus Ex - still a brilliant game System Shock 2 Half-Life Llamatron - maybe just me but a simple brilliantly addictive game. GP4 Modern games: BF2 Half-Life 2 (+ episodes and portal) GTR rFactor...

Using DOS is an odd way to but what the hey: Start > run and type ftp If you know the IP address of the other computer type: open ftp [enter the other pc's IP address] then as per the link send yourfile.txt for example If you don't know the IP address the address and domain iirc in XP home...

If you've using Windows XP you already have :p Windows Movie Maker it's pretty simple but does the job though it exports to WMV format (does it have to be MPG? or more accurately MPEG :p) or Virtualdub - it's free :D (exports to AVI)

Sorry for the short notice - forgot to post this when I heard :rolleyes: but if your quick i.e. before 23:59 CST this evening you can register for a fully legal and pro version of CrossOver which allows you to run Windows software and games without a Windows licence for nowt :cool: The CEO made...

This is an odd one and thb I'm not sure exactly going on here. There is a couple of things I would do to try diagnose what's causing it: Does it happen even if you don't have your UPS connected i.e. does it work fine when you power down and backup normally - if so it could be the way the UPS...

I think you could be on the right lines as it does appear that Windows in not recognising the USB device before the software loads so why not try this: I don't think you can change a shortcut (or startup item) to have a delay but you can do it via a batch file so in notepad copy and paste the...

OK so you have a link light but no polling, have you tried all the combination of duplex settings on the switch ? If you've been through the setting on the box and can't find anything obvious I'd contact the manufacturer - do you have a link to the product ? It might help. One other thing you...

Could you post the link to the product because I've check their web site clicky and all their USB HD products are enclosures (for 3.5" or 2.5" drives) only :confused: Have you installed a HD into the closure - sorry if this sounds patronising but I image you can configure the enclosure with an...

To prove my first point about what can be done can be undone Spore was cracked within 2 days of release (4 days before it was released in the US and UK) so that no online activation was required.

You can get refill services now - clicky or even buy kits to do it yourself clicky btw do some research on these as some kit's are better than others (can't recommend one specifically that link was just an example) and welcome btw

No problem :) Remember this is Microsoft they make their software with the 'average' user in mind, the problem with the reading pane is it's a great feature for those users "oh look I only need to highlight my e-mail and I can read it, great" yep all well and good until you get something dodgy...

Odd did you let the installer create the shortcut ? If so (well try this anyway) create a new one, do a right click > copy on the actual exe (say from the All Programs menu or from the actual folder on your hard drive) Paste as shortcut and edit it once you've done that. Or you could setup a...

mmm it should work if you right click on the icon and go to properties and add the switch in the target field (remember the space ;))

2 ways to do this: 1) Go to view > current view > define view then Messages with autopreview, choose modify > other settings, at the bottom of that screen uncheck the box that says show preview pane. not sure if this works with all version of Outlook or 2) Add a /nopreview switch on your...
