Well at least we agree on one thing: ignoring you is a great idea. Thanks for the help everyone.

Dude, relax. I never even said anything was broken, I said he needed some work done, in this case it would be a combination of setting up hardware, software, and planning out a strategy to achieve a specific goal. I'm quite pleased that you are confident about your PC skills, confidence is a...

There seems to be a misconception about why I posted. I am not trying to fix a problem, or find a shop, or even find a specific tech. I was just trying to find the name of a specific website that I know used to exist. I appreciate all the advice about how to hire people, truly, but given what...

I'll check it out, thanks.

The point of doing this is to bring someone into my dad's store to do the work at a reasonable rate on site, hence a freelancer, and the primary point of this website was the option to pick and choose based on reviews and testimonials. Suffice it to say my dad hasn't had the best of luck with...

'Ello, I recall from the misspent days of my youth doing my own freelance work that there was an excellent website for finding local freelance computer techs. It would show you all the people who were local, what skills they had listed, their rates for various types of computer work, ratings...

Well I had originally thought mostly pictures, but still have the option of video. I do like the P300, and it seems to be one of the best in my price range for video, but I was hoping for a better zoom for pictures. From all that I've been reading it seems like I can have one (good zoom /...

I don't think I'm up to the level of a DSLR, honestly, but I'll read through those posts, should be good info either way. I would indeed love the Canon S95, but I'm pushing it at $300 with my current budget, sadly. I don't need a smartphone right now but I'll do some research on the...

I'm fairly new to SSRS, and while I have a good grasp of Visual Studio I'm being asking to create some reports at work that require some pretty advanced parameters. Well, maybe they're not advanced, but I haven't been able to figure it out or find any online resources that describe what they're...

Safe mode does the same thing. Tried the duel mode thing (it had been setup to use a monitor as well as the laptop screen) but sadly that wasn't the problem. No viruses were found, it definitely was not an icon cache issue, and I had the IT guy do a Windows repair over the existing OS since a...

Nope, no hardware changes at all. Company laptop and a user who wouldn't be able to change anything even if she wanted to. I'm having one of the IT people here swap the HD to an identical laptop but I doubt that will do anything.

This is not the usual "no icons" issue. No software changes have been made to the laptop, updated virus and spyware software is on it. HP laptop 8710w XP Pro SP3, fully updated Work laptop on a client/server domain Laptop boots to just showing the desktop background, it never makes it...

Couple questions, Windows XP Pro or Home, and how are they networked?

Nope, aside from the standard precautions (antivirus, spyware, firewall, etc) due to an unrelated network problem we had a few weeks ago everything on the network in all offices was thoroughly checked and rechecked to rule that out.

It's not happening on all 50 PC's, it happens intermittently on various PC's, I was just stating that all PC's in the office are the same model and it is not a recurring problem on any 1 PC. I am also going through HP, not suprisingly they have been less than forthcoming with potential fixes...
