Nothingness: Try some other cookie intensive sites and I think you'll find you have a similar experience. When I first loaded Microsoft anti-spyware I got the same treatment on lots of different web sites. I turned it off and went back to the products I know and trust.

It is probably best toi try Goldtoken or ItsYourTurn
They are far safer.

My firewall is telling me that this is not a safe site. adn the new microsoft anitspyware is trying to block this site. when i ran spybot and adaware this site was never a problem but the second i started to use this new one, i started getting all kinds of warnings. the pop up that i always got when i was here was auror and a casino gaming site.

Subject: spyware
i didnt realize how much spyware is on this site until i downloaded microsoft antispyware. my goodness. which brings up my question who decides if a site is to carry spyware or not is it the choice of teh site owner or does it just get into teh system/site by itself?

Subject: Re: firefox swift tabs extension
rabbitoid: I wonder what the point is for Firefox to have F1 as the hotkey to backward tab then? I can only assume there must be a way to change the F1-F2 defaults for the tabbing. If there is no way to change it, it would seem to be quite stupid then. As I dont see firefox as being stupid, there must be a way to change the hotkeys that I dont know about

Subject: Re: firefox swift tabs extension
JamesHird: F1 is almost universally used for "help", it's probably hardcoded in Firefox. use some other keys

Subject: firefox swift tabs extension
I have swift tabs where F1 is backwards and F2 is forwards.
F2 works fantastically however F1 does tab backwards although it makes help pop up at the same time.
Does anyone know how to get rid of the silly help pop up?

thanks Dano!

We finally got some qualified techs out today and 7 hours later, we got everything working. They had to restall all the operating systems and everything. Seems the first installer thought it would be a wonderful idea to remove ALL firewalls except for the one built into the router. Somehow went ended up with all kinds of corrupted systems.

Has anyone had a problem with a wireless network and Mozilla? I just installed a netgear network and we're having all kinds of problems. All the pc's are new with XP. One by one, they stopped communicating with the print server and one has trouble accessing the internet.

oh and it was installed by a CompUSA tech.

danoschek: I use the method James indicated and it works perfectly easily for me.
The only trick I find is knowing what the text is that has been coded, then while viewing the souce you do a simple find and it takes you to the correct spot where you can look at the code around the words that you already know are coded.

This method is particularly useful if you are ever browsing the web and you see something in particular on any webpage that you really really like and want to learn how to emulate it

1) - I want to underline and bold a sentence. How do I do both?

2) - I want to "rename" a link I've pasted - what is it I put at the start iof it again?

Modified by danoschek (16. April 2005, 00:58:37)
As of April 12, Windows XP users who have not downloaded Service Pack 2
will no longer be able to block the update from downloading onto their machines
without blocking other updates at the same time; users can prevent SP2 from
downloading by disabling Automatic Update.
One survey shows that only about 25% of corporate PCs running XP have downloaded XP2.

chessmec: thats true .. when i installed pc anywhere it already warned me it wouldnt work under xp ... i was stubborn and curious .. and wanted to test it ... so i installed it :)

it did work under xp!!! i could do exactly what i wanted to do .... it just messed up my graphics driver ;)
(and thats something i didnt expect :))

they will buy me a new version i guess ... or i cant connect to the remote pc anymore .. which is no pain for me either as thats the pc which gives the most nasty problems all the time ... so i would rather not connect to it :)

what pc anywhere evrsion are you using? maybe it is not compliant with xp.

i downloaded vnc .. didnt know it was free .. so i can play around with it :)

the computer i have to connect to i have to reach via dial up ... 'pc anywhere' will accept the dial up on the other side .. i cant use 'external connection' of windows to connect to the computer as i dont know how to specify the username/password/... as it was handled by 'pc anywhere'

how can i create a dial up connection with VNC ?
when i run the VNC server on the remote computer .. can i set it up to accept incoming calls so i can connect to it from my pc at the office via dial up ?

this morning i started my pc at work .. it was back at 800x600 (as expected) .. i did nothing but uninstall 'pc anywhere' directly ... rebooted .. and my graphics settings were perfect again :)
i didnt even have to change them manually for the last time

now i just have convince my boss to buy the new version .. or vnc .. can vnc also connect to a computer which has 'pc anywhere' running to accept remote sessions ?
(the host computer is still on windows 98)

thanks for the help! you pushed me into the right direction .. i would have been stubborn enough to keep trying to make the system work with the old version still installed :)

Subject: graphics/display settings not saved
i have a problem with my (new) pc at work ... it has windows xp preinstalled .. i only installed xp once (after a clean format) .. and didnt use it much yet

all was working fine until i installed 'pc anywhere' .. it warned me it wouldnt work fine under xp .. but i was curious .. and it seems to work

but after installing it my display settings went to 800x600 with 16 colors with no other options
(i had it at 1024x768 with 32 bit colors)

so i reinstalled the graphics driver .. and i could chose 1024x768 with 32 bits colors once again

after a reboot though i was even set back to 640x480 with 16 colors .. with no other options

i had to remove the graphics/display driver, reboot, reinstall the drivers .. and all is working fine again

now each time i reboot i am set back to 800x600 with 16 colors .. i then remove the drivers, reboot, reinstall the drivers and it works fine until the next reboot

i am logged in as admin .. can install and change anything i want ... which is also saved ..

only my display settings/driver isnt saved :(

(another program is running 'pc angel' .. i dont know it .. its for recovery purposes .. i cant find where to stop it from starting up .. its not in the normal list in 'msconfig' .. maybe thats the cause of my problems ?)

does anyone have any clue what is going on ? (and how to fix it ;))
