[Blinking Underscore]

I managed to get hibernation on my desktop after disabling Hybrid Sleep.

 

After hibernating for several hours, I resume the computer.

After the 'Resuming Windows...' screen, I see a blinking underscore in the top-left corner of the screen for 2 minutes before the desktop appears. Why?

[New Spybot-1.6]

I installed Spybot S&D 1.6. I can't check for updates unless I disable Norton IS 2007's firewall. There is an exception for Updater.exe, but it doesn't work. What ports does it use? I guess not 80.

[Administrator Privileges]

Yes ... use XP!

 

Just kidding ( or not ), but with Vista u must allways run such a program as admin. And, 'couse of that, i don't like that "happy colours&thought" operating system.

 

I know that I must run as admin/but doing so prevents it from cleaning my own info (Firefox/Recycle Bin)

 

Now, I run CCleaner twice (as std./as admin)

[Administrator Privileges]

Using a limited account on Vista, running CCleaner as admin cleans the Windows Temp folder/reg.

 

However, unless I DON'T run as admin, I can't clean my cache or Recycle Bin.

 

Is there a way around this?

[PSU Rails]

If a graphics card requires >20 amps on the 12 volt rail, and my PSU has 2 12 volt rails that produce a combined current of more than 20 amps, will the card work?

 

The power is delivered directly through the PCI-E slot-no cables.

[Norton Internet Security 2007 & YPOPs!]

I disabled it, but now it is telling me that my security needs attention...

[Norton Internet Security 2007 & YPOPs!]

I am using YPOPs! with Outlook to access my Yahoo mail.

I am also using Norton Internet Security 2007 provided by Verizon.

 

Unless I disable 'Outgoing Email Scanning' in Norton, I get an error whenever sending mail from Outlook. However, disabling it leads to a 'Needs Attention' warning on the main panel. Any way I can get rid of this warning or gent Outgoing Email Scanning to work?

 

 

What is the purpose of scanning outgoing emails anyway? Incoming email may contain viruses in attachments or code, but outgoing messages are your control.

Do those shortcuts work?

[Where does Windows store this data?]

You can't change your own name. On Windows XP, only an administrator can change any other user's name.

 

If you don't have another administrator account, use the built-in one.

 

At the welcome screen, press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice.

Enter Administrator for the username and no password. Login.

Go to Control Panel and select Classic View, then select User Accounts.

Click on your name and choose Change Username.
