  1. I had the exact same problem and this worked for me:

     

    To resolve this problem, follow these steps:

    1. Remove the current signature file. To do this, click Start, click Run, type Msiexec /x {A5CC2A09-E9D3-49EC-923D-03874BBD4C2C}, and then click OK.

    2. Open Windows Defender. To do this, click Start, click Programs, and then click Windows Defender.

    3. Check for new definitions. To do this, click the Help options arrow next to the Windows Defender Help icon, click About Windows Defender, and then click Check for Updates.

     

    This info is from support.microsoft.com.

     

    Hope it solves you problem as well.

     

    I don't know if this is related, but it seems that since I did this Defender runs silently, ie no icon in the tray when it runs. I found that I could see what was going on by opening Defender from the program list. A little bit annoying but not nearly as aggravating as the can't update issue :P .

  2. IE7 Beta has an anti-phishing feature built in which warns you if you visit a suspected or known phishing site that warned me about a bad website once. I think it's a neat and useful feature. A lot of people aren't impressed by IE7 often because of the way its user interface is set up. I personally don't use it much because it loads web pages much slower than Firefox, at least on my PC.

     

    At least MS is finally devoting more effort to incorporate security features :P .

  3. yeah i knew that. mr brownstone just has a really small menu wondered how he got it like that

     

    OK, now I think I know what you mean, sorry to keep misunderstanding.

     

    If you right click on the Start Menu icon, then Properties, then the Start Menu tab, then Customize, then the General tab, you can choose Small Icons.

     

    If you right click on the Start Menu icon, then click Properties, then the Start Menu tab, then Customize, then the Advanced tab, you can choose which items are displayed and how they're displayed.

    Hope I got it right this time, if not maybe mr. brownstone will come to the rescue!

  4. vistaxp v2

     

    Hello again oli-

     

    I downloaded vistaxp v2 and I think this is the info you need-

    If you choose one of the Compact color schemes you should get the small Start Menu-

    Hope this helps...

     

    Cool theme by the way!

  5. i was just wondering how do u change the style of the start menu so it is small like that

     

    If it works the same as crystal db you can go to Control Panel, double-click Display, choose the Appearance tab, and then the Color Scheme scroll box:

    Kind of weird there's nothing about colors in the color scheme box :P ! I guess it's because it's a modified theme.

  6. If you click on My Controls and then Board Settings in Options there is a Type of text editor to use when posting setting. If you change it to Rich Text Editor it adds a lot of neat features that make editing posts much easier (and faster) and adds new ones like image resizing.

     

    There are a lot of other options for customizing the forum features as well.

  7. Viruses and bad things make me nervous, I don't even like getting my mouse near them. Turns out for good reason, too. Was watching a scary movie in the middle of the night recently, someone *BOOO* suddenly appeared in front of someone else, accompanied by that spooky music they play. I screamed and jumped, the cats ran, my mouse hand scooted and clamped down on buttons, and I deleted a note I was writing. :lol: Usually when there's a particularly suspenseful part I look away, sometimes even hum. Being scared at 2am just isn't the same as being scared at 2 PM! LOLOL

     

    Thanks for the great story! LMAO!!!

     

    Laughing with you, not at you!

  8. It's either a joke or it's totally broken, because the answer seems to always be 0.

     

    That's weird, I took it again (and pretended I lived in this century) and it said "Seriously nerdy."

     

    BTW, glad you're back!

  9. If you go into regedit and search for the KB#, it will tell you if it is installed.

     

    What is Belarc Advisor?

     

    Thanks krit for the info! I've been having the exact same problem and following your suggestion it appears the two updates Belarc was flagging are OK.

     

    ?t? es mi h?roe :) !

  10. joff3yd.jpg"I hope you never have the misfortune to deal with me as a result of engaging in something you shouldn't be doing," he told the kids assembled at Windmill Springs Elementary school in San Jose, California.

     

    While I guess I can understand the intent of the presentation, the tone of it bothers me. IMO comments from both speakers came off as more threatening than educational and would have been more appropriate for high school students than elementary level.

  11. :( When I run analyze it take about 3 minutes to go through the process and then nothing show up to be cleaned. Running 1.28.277 on Windows 98. Any ideas on what to do?

     

     

    Hello and welcome to the forum :)!

     

    Is this happening on the Windows tab or the Applications tab? On my PC the only thing it ever lists on the Aplications scan is a Zone Alarm log.

  12. The speaker is always turned off, so I'm assuming that isn't the cause. First I'm going to check the Monitor, and HD. Then fans and belts.

     

    Hardware is really hard to troubleshoot.

     

    I didn't know that there were multiple fans. How do I know which is the case fan? :huh:

     

     

    The case fan is usually the largest and vents through the case to the outside air. It should have a connector that is easily disconnected. Older computers (like mine) that don't work hard or well enough to generate much heat often don't have one :P.

  13. Jeez, I had one friend who kept getting pop-up warnings from their AV program - so they got a pop-up blocker! Of course, they'd never up-dated it since they got it anyway.

     

    LOL!!

     

    This post made my day! Finally, something really stupid I haven't done! Yet.
