Thanks lady, I do have jacks on the back of the router. I will try that. I only bought the wireless router so my son could be set up with X-box live and now I am getting ambitious.

Draheid: When I use Bcc:, those email addresses are not visible to the people in the To: line, so I don't think that will work. Maybe I'm not understanding your suggestion. A different thought would be to click on all the addresses to add them to the To: line, and then cut and paste the addresses into the body of a new email and only email that to the new account. The email address might appear as clickable in Outlook Express and maybe a right click would allow them to be saved to the OE address book. Then nobody else would have to receive any email. Maris: What Ladytex said. Just make sure you are running the cable from an ethernet port and not the phone modem port.

Bob, you're right. I always BCC myself when I send something important, so I have a copy of the actual sent e-mail, then I do see the BCC list when I receive the copy. That won't help in this case. BigD, sorry about the misinformation, sending it BCC won't give you all the other addresses you sent it to when you receive it at the new e-mail address.

Luvmyjrt: The instructions I'm finding for removing 'ACTULICE' require you to run AdAware in a customized mode. Here are the instructions I located that seem to work best for removing this problem when running AdAware 6: Click on the 'Gear' icon (second one on the left) to access the preferences/settings window. Click on the Scanning button on the left and select the following options: - Scan Within Archives - Scan Active Processes - Scan Registry - Deep Scan Registry - Scan my IE favorites for banned URL’s - Scan my Hosts file Click on the 'Click here to select drives + folders' link and make sure all your hard drives are selected. Click on the 'Advanced' button on the left and select the following options: - Include additional process information - Include additional file information - Include environment information - Include additional object details Click the 'Tweak' button. Click the + symbol beside 'Scanning Engine'. - Unload recognized processes during scanning - Include basic Ad-aware settings in logfile - Include additional Ad-aware settings in logfile Click the + symbol beside 'Cleaning Engine' and make sure the option 'Let Windows remove files in use at next reboot' is checked. Click on the 'Proceed' button, then click on the START button. Make sure the option 'Activate in-depth Scan' is checked and select 'Use Custom Scanning Options'. Click on 'Next' and AdAware will begin the scan. Then click on 'finish' when it's done. Hope this helps. Please let me know.

Does anyone know of a little free program that would be like a stop-watch I could use on my desk top to keep track of how long I've been online? With the dial-up all I had to do was click on the icon. Now with the DSL I have no clue how long I've been surfing..LOL Thanks! (Hope that request made sense)

Thanks all, but can anyone point me to a free version of Spyware/Adaware? I went to the Adaware site but it appears its $19.95; not that I'm cheap but you guys seem to find all the freebies, so I thought I'd check first before paying. OK, I am cheap but regardless of what you may have heard, I am not easy!

Last night I downloaded the free version of Ad-aware for a friend's computer from their site. I think the download is the same for the professional version and you only pay if you want to unlock the additional features. 1. Go to http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ 2. Near the bottom left, select Download 3. Click Ad-aware 6 from Download.com | 1.7 mb 4. Click Download Now and save to disk 5. Execute the saved file to install Do not click the Click to buy option unless you want the professional edition.

Thanks Draheid and Bob!!!!!! It's nice to know the "experts" couldn't come up with a better way either. I looked and looked ad even tried a couple of stupid things, but alas, the only solution seems to be to send an email to everyone in her address book and to her new address, so that is what I am going to try. Thanks again for the help! My MIL also wants me to set her up an account here at the TVClubhouse too, so she will be playing with us soon - although, I am sure she will mostly lurk, it will be fun to know she is out there!

Luvmyjrt: Clicking here should start a free download of AdAware 6 from Download.com. Save the file aaw6181.exe to your computer and run it when the download finishes. Then run AdAware as described above. Hope this helps.

Good morning, yesterday my computer (Win98;dial-up) began not allowing Spybot nor Ad-aware to scan even in safe mode. Does this mean that they both need to be uninstalled and reinstalled? Thanks...By the way, former scans showed repeated browser hijacking attempts.

Vee: I don't know how you can not run the programs unless something has deleted portions of them. If that's the situation, you may not be able to uninstall since portions may have been removed. If you aren't able to uninstall, just install them over the old copy and you should be fine. Hope this helps.

I don't know what is going on with Ad-aware and SpyBot, but I do know that Internet Explorer is now wreaking havoc. I can not stay online longer than ten minutes without getting booted off. In addition to online difficulties, the Word program is causing a ton of Winword errors, closing down, and not allowing me to get back into the document that I was working on so I've switched to Notepad. This article suggests that I abandon using Internet Explorer because it is highly susceptible to hijacking attempts...I attest to that. browsers My question is now, Dra, are you knowledgeable about any of these or do you have a preference about which browser would be better? I see Mozilla, Firefox, and Opera and I am clueless about which one to use. By the way, I also have Netscape, but it has given me a lot of grief also. Thanks a bunch for your help.

Vee: I have been using Netscape 7.1 for quite a while and love it. Many features are just not available in Internet Explorer alone (there are add-on programs but I prefer full-featured stand alone programs myself). Among my favorite features are advanced cookie control, pop-up stopper, and tabbed viewing. I do keep a copy of Internet Explorer 6 installed for development work I do and when a site just refuses to display properly in Netscape. Having said all that, I would suggest you reboot into safe mode, re-install AdAware, then run it in the mode I posted Tuesday at 5:36pm to Luvmyjrt. And I recommend you keep running it again and again until it comes back with nothing found. I also highly recommend that, if you don't already have one, you download a firewall program and install that on your system too. You can find a free version of ZoneAlarm at Zonelabs (This is version 4.5, known to be more stable then the latest version 5, btw) Hope this helps.

Have been very busy since I last posted. Thank you for the firewall information, Dra. Since I downloaded the program, it has fended off over 300 "attacks," 9 of which had the highest rating. I also downloaded the Firefox browser from Mozilla and, although it has frozen once, it works much faster than IE or Netscape were. The SpyBot and Ad-Aware are still on hold. I'll get back to you later how that went.

Okay, that went very well. I did not have to uninstall...I just tried the suggestions given to Luv and Ad-Aware took off and ran beautifully. Then I was so excited about that that I tried SpyBot also. It ran without a hitch as well. Excellent instructions by the way...very easy to follow.

I hope I'm in the right place...DRA, I need you!! I got my new camera today, YAY~ But I can't get it to connect to my computer. The USB is a different size then the place on the computer where I'm supposed to plug it in.. I think? Is it possible that I won't be able to use this camera with this computer? It's a Dell 8200 that I bought 3 years ago. The camera is a Olympus C5000 Digital...

Resortgirl: Virtually all USB ports have the same connector on the computer which should be compatible with the cable included with your camera. According to Dell, you should be able to locate one such connector on the front of the computer as shown here:
Hope this helps.

Ok, I found that, but this is the message I get: Designed for Microsoft Windows XP LogoHardware and software products displaying the Designed for Microsoft Windows XP logo have been tested for compatibility with Microsoft Windows operating systems through use of Microsoft-provided testing procedures. For the best performance, Microsoft recommends using hardware products that display the Designed for Microsoft Windows XP logo on the external packaging and on the device itself. Software for hardware products with the Designed for Microsoft Windows XP logo has a digital signature from Microsoft, indicating that the product was tested for compatibility with Windows and has not been altered since testing.

Resortgirl: I gather from the message you are seeing that you are attempting to install the software included on the CD that came with the camera? If this is the case, you should not need to install this software. Specifically you do not need the drivers as Windows/XP has built-in support for most cameras currently on the market. For example, when I purchased a digital camera, to download the images, I simply turn off the camera, connect the USB cable to the computer and camera, then turn the camera on in 'playback' mode. The display shows (DSC) in the window on the back and in Windows Explorer, I now have a new storage device where the images are stored on the memory card in the camera. I can then copy the images from the camera onto my hard drive. Once you have moved the files onto your computer, you can then turn off the camera and disconnect it from the computer. You can now use any number of programs such as Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, Lview, Irfanview, etc. to work with the images once they are on your computer. Hope this helps.
