I see your point, i knew it wasn't his kid but he is involved in this whether he likes it or not. And it seems to me that the parents are aware of the pron but fail to be doing much about it. Perhaps goosemaster should try talking to the parents about it. The poor kid will end up pregnant...

IMHO spending hours and hours trying to police this computer user is futile. You are not addressing the problem at hand, merely trying to sweep it under the carpet and hope that it goes away. This kid needs to talk to someone about this, otherwise it will never go away, and probably just...

There was a virus that caused the internal speaker to play a sound or some kind of tune at startup. Is it immediately when you switch on before POST? or is it when windows loads up?

I was going to suggest that but usually you cant get an IP addy when that's the problem. Oh well you learn something new every day. Anyway, that's a classic for spyware that. Adds its own network settings in then totally corrupts TCPIP when its removed. NEW DOT NET and Cool web search are...

What happens when you try and remap the drives on the troublesome machines? Here we have a mixture aof xp, 2000 and 98, and it throws everyone out.

Have you tried installing another network card.

They are full versions of NT4. Interestingly enough, the day after we installed the new server we forgot to add in the 50 additional per seat licences. When the user limit breached the default 5, no-one could connect with the EXACT same error message that they get now. Its almost like the...

Hello again, one of our customers has two NT4 Servers on standard windows network. All the client machines are XP and windows 2000. The second NT4 server is a new server, dual pentium Xeon and Gigabit network. We have made this new server the main data store and this is what all the...

The CAT5 Cable no longer 'clicks' into place when pushed into the LAN Port, it was no way deliberate either - it was more a slow degradation of quality because i noticed it slowly getting more loose and loose as time went on. I can understand HP's point of view because ive seen loads of lan...

You can export her existing messeges into microsoft outlook, then from microsoft outlook into a PST File. Backup this PST file. Once you have reinstalled, import the PST file back into microsoft outlook, then load up outlook express and import messages from microsoft outlook. great eh?

Already have one, but i would like to expand my knowledge of HP laptops. My company actually sells alot and it would be handy to be able to know how to repair them too. :)

Is it outlook express, or microsoft outlook you are having problems with? Both try and automatically log onto windows messenger when run, i have had probs in the past when exiting with messenger crashing my system.

Standard CAT5 Cable works with Gigabit Ports, as long as the ends have been 'ended' correctly. Standard European is from left to right, light orange, orange, light green, blue, light blue, green, light brown, brown. If its straight through cabling it will not work.

Double click on My computer, in the address bar type www.google.com, this will test the connection In the windows browser. Other than that, it sounds like a DNS issue.

Hello All, I recently had the pleasure of being told by HP that the damage to my LAN port on my compaq nx9010 was deliberate (which it wasnt). This invalidated the warranty and they have quoted £126 for repair of the said LAN port. I am an experienced computer technician and feel that i...
