thanks for the advice extreme. I'll try it out later.

 

but does the power source really make a difference in the speed of the processor?

Younghermit and Cruiser007,

 

Thank you guys!

have you tried using a spyware/adware removal program? I recommend spybot SD 1.2 (freeware) and use a firewall to prevent any malicious connections to the internet and lastly a hacker defence suite program. Firewall is not enough. I used to get these annoying problems before. Now, everytime I browse the web I used both firewall and a hacker defence program, these problems does not occur anymore.

hacker defence program suite? sir deus, could you provide some links where to download this program?

here it is sir. http://www.plasmateksoftware.com/protectx.htm -its a

2.4MB trial program. You'd be amazed, even if you have a firewall running, there are still attempts to connect to your PC by hackers. Most of them are from europe. Already argued with one from france, cursed that FKR!

Yes it does, sometimes. The culprit could be your laptop's power saving mode if you're on batteries. After all, since you're using Centrino its more geared toward wireless connections and this by itself could drain it. I suggest you turn off your wireless radio reception and tweak your system power saving preference when using batteries.

[Gott_U]

Another question here also, I'm using an HP notebook with an Intel Pentium (M) Centrino proscessor at 1400 MHZ. How come windows xp views it as only 585 Mhz?

Umm ... interesting. How much RAM do you have installed? Is your laptop video card sharing system memory for its cache?

 

Just an afterthough, I still think its your power saving profile though which could spin down your system when some of its items aren't being used, etc.

I have a question, my g.f bought a usb flash disk, eh wala pala usb port yung p.c nya.. pwede ba ikabit sa ps/2 mouse port via converted usb to ps/2 mouse port? dalawa daw kasi yung mouse port nya or buy nalang ng usb pci card?

Is that 2 PS/2 mouse ports due to an added PCI card? I highly doubt thats what happened though. Make sure what she's talking about since the for the keyboard :-)

 

If she just meant 2 mouse ports, once could be PS/2 the other one could be a COM serial port.

 

As for using a USB->PS/2 port, go for it but check if your USB flashdisk is using USB 2.0 as this could cause connection problems due to incompatibility. USB 2.0 is alot faster than traditional and how it compensates for the drop could render the data you write into it corrupted, etc.

 

I'll go for the PCI card add-on. But before that, is this an old system thats without a USB port or is it that its got USB but cables from the motherboard aren't connected to an external visible USB outlet?

my friend has an imac PC.... i checked it out and there's a problem with the memory.... i'm not familiar with macintosh chipsets.... san ko b puede ito paayos beside a service center???

umm ... what seems to be the problem with the memory?

 

iMacs use the same EDO RAM, AFAIK, at least thats what my green colored one has. Most of the stuff you can tinker with as you open the case.

1. Anybody know other solutions for spyware other than Ad Aware?

 

2. Other than tweaking the registry, anybody know how to fix the home page url for internet explorer in case a malicious program turns the default 'home page' into a particular site?

 

3. anybody know what this site is: (http://www.windowws.cc/hp.htm?id=80.) WARNING: please don't go there if you dont know what you are doing.

1. there are several alternatives including Spybot Search & Destroy 1.3, Spyware Blaster, Spy Sweeper -- all of which i use at the same time. you can't be too careful to protect yourself.

 

2. since you're using IE its simple to just change the default homepage settings to blank or something else. if you're using Spybot then there's memory resident portion that monitors if a program tries to change the default and warn you with options to allow or not.

 

3. thats a site most recently linked to Cool Web Search spyware. i guess you're getting redirected to it all the time thus #2 above. suggest you do #1 and clean out your temp folders too. otherwise, this link should help start you off farther - http://computercops.biz/postt65687.html

 

let me know if it works.

[Gott_U]

Use Spybot Search and Destroy. Much better than adaware.

 

or if u are sick of viruses, buy a Mac. or my Apple iBook running on OS X. hehhee

1. lavasoft has just received new funding, thus more frequent updates. in terms of adware/spyware the industry isn't solid enough to work together and help each other out. most of them are looking for nitches or to be bouth out. pest patrol was just purchased the other day. see? :-)

 

2. oh, thats a misconception. mac's have had their share of quicktime autostart trojans as well as macro viruses. since moving from proprietary OS 9 (original mac OS) to OS X which is based on *BSD (hello Unix and Linux) its opened itself to a new can of .... eherm ... worms. those who think viruses on *nix based platforms are non-existent need a wake up call. use google and check out "linux virus worm" and you'll get a slew. the past outbreaks in the few years were caused by l10n and ramen both of which are on *nix.

Is there a way for me to run NBA live 2001 in windows XP? may crack kaya to counter its incompatibility?ive tried everything i know, ala pa rin eh.

my NBA Live '99 works and thats a REALLY old version. try the hints from the previous discussion on MechWarrior compatibility.

[younghermit]

something definitive about the legality of carrying guns, defensive knives and other self-protection devices.

is this supposed to be a question or problem or what?

[younghermit]

Thanks for replying Gott_u :cool:

I only have 256MB of RAM. I have already tweaked the system so that cache could be bigger. I do think that the video card is sharing memory also. but win xp still views the processor speed lower than it is.

 

Anyway, i was able to run the game already (forgot to install the crack )
