techgnome is on the right trail. You need to replace the hub with a router. Chances are good that your dsl modem is giving you a public ip address instead of the 192. That's why it can go online....

MS OFFICE license is forever. You only need to buy a new one when a new version comes out if you want to upgrade. I would buy 2010 since its the most current & they are practically the same price so...

Well it obviously seems to be a problem with the firewall. When you first set up your pc do you remember it asking you what type of "profile" you wanted for your network connection? It was something...

Glad to be of some help. You should park your post "resolved" now.

Here are two ideas I came up with after reading your post. It may be that the ethernet port is both "administratively down" & has no ip address. Meaning you will have to configure it to be in the...

Yeah I did find out how to import my bookmarks but like I said it was weird that it didn't ask to do so in the installation like ff or chrome do. Yeah I tried the bookmark panel but that's costly...

I've attached a pic of what I'm referring to. I have bookmark folders that contain links inside them for better organization. As you can see in the pic I've already clicked on one of them, msc3. I...

I guess I only have this issue with the grayed out button? :mad:. Oh well. Seems like chrome won't do it for me. Does it start up fast? Yes. Is it everything I dreamed of? No. I just found out that...

@ FireXtol - wow that was such a long, personal review for a browser that I am inclined to try it! I'm downloading it right now. However, I'm not a big fan of customization other than a few little...

@ baja_yu - yes I saw that you could collapse them but I don't want to just hide them & opening a private session is just extra work.

@ JuggaloBrotha - firefox is what I've been using since...

Thanks for the tip. It helps a bit. Don't know if it will restore my logged in session such as logged in to hotmail but I guess it will have to do. Now if I could solve the other two issues.

I am trying to like chrome but somethings are just not letting it happen. For example if I click the X for the program it will close chrome regardless of how many tabs I have opened. It doesn't give...

This isn't pretty but it might work. You can clear the network share cached credentials by using the command prompt with either "net use" or "net session". Try it out and see if after running the...

Unfortunately this is not how windows works. By default windows will try to access a folder directly or over a network with the current user credentials. If that doesn't work then you are prompted...

From my own experience trying to figure out what ctfmon was and if I needed it running a few years ago it is the MS OFFICE language pack or something like it that allows office to use multiple...

That is weird that it is running from the recycle bin. I would suspect it too. Have you tried seeing the process from "process explorer"? It's a free microsoft tool that does a better job than the...

No I did not read the link that was posted. I've read enough about superfetch when I was trying to decide whether to keep it or turn it off. As to why superfetch loaded my isos everyday is beyond me....

As to why I turned superfetch off, unless windows lets me specify what programs & files I would like preloaded then it will never fit my needs and just annoy me with a blinking light of my hd. For...

I guess I need to clarify what I mean by "not getting notified". Yes, I do get notified when someone replies to a thread I'm subscribed to. However, I am not notified of further replies until I log...

Microsoft charges you like 150$ for support. I forget how it works but they take your info (credit card, etc) and at the end depending on what the problem was they charge you. So no I do not have MS...

Superfetch stays off and I will keep firefox.

Nope. Pagefile is still in c drive.

Yes, they've changed the column headers. But as I understood it "private working set" was the real memory being used that used to be called "virtual memory" in xp. As you can see the most memory...

Can anyone tell me why windows has cached up to 1.5gb of memory? Or why my page file is 1.7gb? I've attached a screenshot so you can see.

First I turned off superfetch a long time ago and checked...

Is this a personal computer? Those data recovery companies charge a lot of money (like close to 1k) and it's not 100% guaranteed.

I thought if it was raid 0 all hope was lost since any file is spread across the drives instead of being whole. The fact that he can see it trying to load into windows would suggest that it isn't...

Facepalm. :lol: That explains why you weren't getting the right ip. NAT was being bypassed.

Yes, I did mean for you to try this with the new router not the old one. There are two possible causes for your issue.

#1 - there is another software/hardware that is acting as a dhcp server &...

Hello :wave:,

I think I know what your problem is. You're right to suspect the default gateway as the problem. You seem to know your way around ip settings but you're not too familiar with...

I have no idea what you mean by ugly booting. The only thing that should do is bypass the list of oses you have to pick from. It will just automatically boot to win7. The only other thing I could...

In vista there is a tool call "reliability & performance monitor". The reliability monitor shows you what happened to your pc on a certain date. It might show you a hardware failure for the day you...

I was sure that would solve your problem since you said you had a list of 2 oses showing up at bootup. Okay try the following:

control panel > system > advanced system settings > elevate...

I can only assume because it isn't a gui but instead text-based. It's used for carrying out commands and not copying & pasting. Although I don't disagree with you as to why they add it to it. But...

A quicker way would be to type "msconfig" in the "run" window. Elevate your privileges. Then click on the "boot" tab. You should have a win7 & winxp list. Select the "xp" option & delete it. I've...

Well the first thing you need to do is if you don't have an email company policy setting forth rules & expectations then make one asap! It's really surprising that users are allowed to have email...

Do you have a business account with your isp? The reason I ask this is because most isp's won't allow you to send mail via port 25 due to potential spammers sending email through their network....

Drivenbywhat's Law. :D

Interesting. I learned something new. Although it has never worked for me (I always had to use my domain admin account to join any pc to the domain) I can't argue with an official MS page.

Thanks again for the reply. From my vb5 thread I tried 3 different ways to get the subroutine to reference the array of textboxes to clear any text from them but I would get an error. One of the ways...

Are you 100% that regular domain user accounts can join computers to a domain? That doesn't sound right especially by default. You have to be a domain administrator to join a pc to the domain. If not...
