    Annoying IE problem

    I've quit using firefox a long time ago, being able so stick it to miKKKro$oft is not worth the additional annoyances. I found the solution to my problem, you need to enable automatic prompting for downloads in the security settings. Thanks for nothing :)

    can I descramble jpeg code?

    I have a file in an email that's supposed to be a jpeg, but is scrambled into code. I'm 99.9% sure it's not encrypted. (the rest is ok) What can I do to translate this mess into the image? I don't really have a dedicated viewer, I just use IE.

    windows 98 password--virus?

    OK, here's the deal... a couple of nights ago, I was surfing around, and a website locked up on me, so I control-alt-deleted, and then I got a strange looking gray box that was not in the browser and said something like "You will now need to completely reinstall windows" (seriously)...

    network printer questions

    Thanks for all the help. Now I have another problem... I can't find the right driver for this printer. I checked the HP site, and all they have is some AutoCAD one, which needs to detect the CAD program to work. I looked on windrivers, and they just pointed me back to the HP CAD one. Will the...

    network printer questions

    This weekend I became the proud owner of an unwanted, unloved HP laserjet 3si. (an extremely heavy office-type printer; my guess is two generations old or so). It seems to be in perfect working order. However, it's only interface is a 10baseT ethernet card on the back. Now my question- Can I...
