Texannie, I have 3.1 in my download files. It is about 3 Mb. Want me to e-mail it to you? If so, send me an email at Juju2bigdog at yahoo.com. Let me go check and see if Yahoo will let me send an attachment that size. Yes, it will! I can send up to 10 Mb total.

Texannie, I am sending it to you now. I have dialup, so it takes forever to load up a 3 Mb message.

Have a question, I will be getting a laptop for work that runs Windows Professional 2000. I have WinXP on my home pc and would like to get a wireless router. Does it matter if they are running two different OS's?

Here's a weird one. I disseminate messages from national headquarters to my chapter of retired agents, a group of about 19. I don't know all of the people on my list, since I retired to this area and didn't work with these people. Nowadays, when I send out to the distribution list, I get an undeliverable message EVERY time from an e-mail address that is not on my list, and to whom I have ostensibly not mailed the undeliverable message. In other words, I send out a message to a, b, c, and d, on a distritution list titled "Group." After I send it out, I get an undeliverable notice that my message to x was not delivered. BUT x was not in the list of people I sent the message to. And yet, it is MY message that I just sent showing as the attachment. Can anybody explain this phenomenon?

Juju2bigdog: One of the addresses in your group could be to a redirector. Chances are very good that if you attempt to e-mail the 'x' address directly, it will also bounce, but possibly with more information. The only way to find which address on the list is being redirected would be to send an individual test message to each address until the 'x' bounces again. Then you could remove that address from the list. Of course, it is possible the redirector address could be very obvious. For example the American Radio Relay League offers a free redirect to any member allowing them to receive e-mail to their home account through using their callsign @ arrl.net. When an e-mail is sent to one of these addresses, the arrl redirector automatically forwards to the real e-mail setup by the member. Hope this helps.

My daughters boyfriend has an emachine w windows xp. He's not connected to the internet, just uses it for games. He had a game freeze up and his computer now acts like it wants to start up by gets halfway through (to the scrren that says windows xp) then restarts again over and over. I've tried the f8 key and tried to start in every mode available but the same thing keeps happening. Any suggestions?

Sha, where did he get the game from? Did he or a friend download it from somewhere on the net (obviously with another computer)? If so, it may have had a virus or worm included. Because the way his computer is acting sure does sound a lot like the way Blaster acts. How does he get his Windows updates then?? Another thing it could possibly be is some bad memory. If he has two sticks of RAM in the comp, tell him to try booting with just one stick in the first slot and see if it works. Try the other stick if the first stick doesn't work. Just a couple of guesses off the top of my head. Hopefully somebody else will come along soon with some more suggestions.

Just checked he has only 1 memory stick. He got the game @ walmart. He had the internet a few months back but no longer has it. I guess he does't do Windows updates. Just uses it for games.

If his comp started doing the starting over thing after he tried playing that game, then to me it sounds more like the memory. It doesn't sound like a HD or video card issue. Go here: http://www.crucial.com/ to check and see what time of memory his computer takes. You'll need to know his computer information like model number, etc. He should be able to tell you this info. Then he can take that info and he should be able to pick up another stick of memory at one of his local computer stores (you can get it alot cheaper online) to see if that's what fixes it. Not sure how much memory he has in it right now but he would be best off with 256MB (512MB would be better). Check around at a Fry's, CompUSA, etc. And another thing, he really needs to get online with that comp and get it updated. Especially since Windows is releasing Service Pack 2 for XP any day now. Anybody else out there have ideas?

Just put a new memory card in (512 mb) and still the same thing. I don't know what else to do. He has norton 2004 installed. He said he was playing a game and left the computer, when he returned it was frozen. He hit the windows key on the keyboard and went to shut down, it stayed like that for around 10 min and it restarted the way it is now. It will keep going over and over.

Had he installed anything besides the game (either software or hardware) before he installed the game? Had he messed with any of the settings (Windows settings, display settings, etc.) before installing the game or while installing the game?

I guess the game has been installed for quite some time with no problems until now. He has played it many times but this time it just froze. No settings were changed

Sorry Shashakaye. The only other thing I can think of then is that he may need a new video card. His being an eMachines, it may have integrated graphics (no video card) and if that's the case then I'm not sure what to tell you. He may have to call eMachines for tech support in that case. If he has a video card, he could try installing one out of a friend's comp just to see if that fixes the booting issue before he goes out and buys a new one. I've had a video card go out on me once and I changed a couple of friends' when it went out on them. Those three times though, when they went, nothing but BSODs. No automatic rebooting issues. Still sounds like a memory issue to me though. Last ditch effort, have him turn the comp off for 30 mins or so and then turn it back on. LOL Ya never know! Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Hopefully somebody else will have more suggestions.

Ok,this is a computer 101 question. I've got a new/used puter recently. The thing is set to shut off 15 minutes from the last time it was touched. Where is the settings for this? It's driving me crazy,I have looked everywhere. Thanks in advance!

Hippyt: There are two possible places where the setting you are looking for is. The easiest to locate is in display settings, under screensaver, there should be a section and button for 'Monitor Power' (or similar) where you can select when different components of the computer turn off after a period of inactivity. You should be able to set all of those to 'Never' and not worry about it again. There may be several tabs within that control panel you should review to see what other options you should change. You may also be able to access these settings by clicking 'Start - Settings - Control Panel - Power Options' and make the changes there instead. The other possible setting is in the system setup. Getting to this setup varies from different computers. Try the above first. If that doesn't help, let me know the brand and model of the computer you have and I will be happy to research this further. Hope this helps. The other

Is the Windows XP Service Pack 2 new? I have a notification that it is "ready to install" on my updates. But, seems like the last time I trusted Windows Update, it installed something that created a new User account on my computer. I was SO not comfortable with that! Anyway, I just thought I'd ask this time around before I go trusting them and installing. Here's the link it sends me to. Windows XP SP2 Also, this new service pack talks about having a pop up stopper, and a firewall. But I already use Pop Up Stopper, and Zone Alarm. Does that mean I'd have to uninstall/disable them? As I assume you shouldn't use two programs like that at the same time (seems like they would conflict with each other).
