OK, Photolady, that pretty much answers my question. I'd better look for a small laptop. You have been around a long time, Photolady. You used to help me a lot, years ago when I was building my...

I am in my 80's now and have lost track of current technology. I do not have a cell phone, just a laptop with which I connect to the internet via U S Cellular Wireless using a modem plugged in to a...

Thanks dneilson and fink. I'll disable or uninstall Java. I appreciate the help.

Thanks, Train. So I guess I can uninstall or disable Java without shooting myself in the foot, right?

I just read in the Geek newsletter than a person should uninstall Java because it is a security disaster. I didn't think many videos and other things like an active weather map would run without...

Ok, thanks, Midknyte, I'll take your advice and not screw up my machine. I'll check out the links you posted and go from there. Thanks again, Jake

I haven't been here a while so this question might have been answered already. I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop that came with Windows 7 pre-installed. Can I install Windows XP on it (in addition...

Windows 7...........Several months ago, I used a script to remap the Caps Lock key to Control. Now I want to change it back to Caps Lock but I can't find the correct script or reg. hack to do it. I...

I see that if I type each address onto the address book (a pain in the a**), then it works the way it should, so I'll do that and delete the addresses I imported. Thanks

Thanks, Steve, that is, as you say, part of the issue.

I’m not sure which forum to post this on. Does anyone here know their way around Thunderbird email client? I’m running Windows 7 and recently installed Thunderbird 15. I imported my address...

cynlake, I was never able to uninstall Download Manager (but I am sure someone here can help you). I had to restore my computer to "out of box" condition to get rid of it. Wiped the drive clean and...

Thanks. I got into the registry OK. I just hit a wrong key the first time I guess. regedit got me in but the keys I was looking for were not there. It seems that Download Manager resists all...

There are no download managers listed in Control Panel/Programs and Features and Microsoft's MaxUninstaller cannot find it either. I do find it now in Program files and there is an Uninstall...

Hey, thanks. I think I have Microsoft's DM. I'll give your suggestion a try.

Windows 7 running on a Toshiba laptop. I accidentally downloaded Download Manager 1.2. Now, when I shut down the computer, a message tells me that Download Manager is preventing shutdown so I have...

Resolved! The problem, now fixed, was caused by a bad power supply. Thank you both for your help.

Yessir, I'm not about to invest in a motherboard for this computer. A friend told me he will loan me a PS to see if that solves the problem. If it does, I'll pick up a new one from Newegg. If the...

I’d like to ask one more question about the problem I am having because I would hate to invest in a new PS, only to find out that I have a bad MOBO (D845 EGB2 Intel). To summarize, when I shut the...

Thank you, sir. I'll use the laptop until I get the other one going. Thanks again.

OK, jdc, I know I should do that.....and I will. I just hate to pull that thing out of there. If it is a MB, I may just retire the machine. I have two other computers........my wife has one loaded...

Hold everything, jdc 2000, I guess I have a bad ps after all. The chattering floppy was just a symptom. When I shut down in the usual manner, the HD light still continues to flicker, and fans run...

Thanks jdc2000, it was just one of those screwball things that pop up. All OK now.

Thanks Train. The clicking and flashing was not a fan blade hitting anything but your suggestion prompted me to dig around in there and look around. I removed the hard drive and both CD-ROM drives...
