Situation: we have a remote office with an XP pc which is running low on
space on the C:Drive. I would like to move the pagefile to the D:Drive. The
problem is, the pc doesn't respond to RDP or Altiris carbon copy.The only 2

How figure out what is causing lockups...
been gaming lately, and noticed that game lags at specific intervals. I took
a screenshot of the event, and have removed virtually every process running,
with the exception of those that will not allow you to, or cause instant

Windows Installer Patch (windows\installer folder)
My Dell Latitude has over 25GB of .msp files in C:\windows\installer hidden

later created multiple copies of installer patch files.
What is the best way to rectify this problem or to free up space on my HD?
Can I safely delete most of these files without crashing my PC?
Are they all associated with MS Office or ...

Fake email?
I just deleted a Hotmail email purportedly coming from Microsoft. It

reliable ISP mail services scan their emails with some sort of virus
scanner, but it is always possible that one might slip by.
The Subject was "The last Microsoft Security Update required" and the

could actually put in the pass word you have to press a key on the key board.

Time for a New Video Card?

When I restart my computer, the Welcome Screen looks like it's on a 'bad trip' and within a few seconds my monitor goes black. This happens much of the time, but not always, when I restart my computer. No way to predict when it's going to happen.
However, when I shut down my computer, let it rest for a few seconds, and then start it up, all is well.
