Deleting IE browser history
Prior to leaving Internet Explorer (v7) I always go through the procedure to delete browser history, clicking the "Delete All" button. Recently I find that temporary internet files are not being deleted - don't know about the other stuff. Virus and spyware checks show nothing along that line. Now I have to use a third-party utility (System Mechanic) to clean up. Any idea why IE stopped c...

vanishing iocns in url bar
I recently upgraded from ME to XP. When using ME, i found that often, if a web address had an icon attached to its url that would show up in the url bar, that after a while it would vanish and become replaced with a generic windows icon. after i upgraded to XP, these bicons all returned, but have again recently just started to disappear. i'm wondering what to do to prevent this from h...

Virus or Trojan or ?
Yestday my PC just suddenly started printing line after line of dashes, from top of screen, overwriting the existing text etc. This was not peculiar to any particular program - it happened in MSworks, Internet Explorer, Microsoft explorer etc. It only deleted the contents of the screen and not any actual files. Also, pressing the delete key, halted the process and I could then del...

Unmountable_Boot_Volume
Hi, I have Win XP Home Edition. I am getting the above error (in the blue screen). When I searched the net I found there are two ways to solve the problem. 1.

Secondly, my system does not have any floppy disk to run the exe file. Please let me k...

Sharing printer wirelessly with no router??

I have a laser printer I would like to attach to one of those computers and share wirelessly (and securely) with the other 2 computers via a semi home network (no file sharing).
