Thanks Draheid, that got me doing some digging. I see that Photoshop is a running process and for some reason it's at 99% CPU usage. I didn't find anything on "Answers that Work", but I did some googling and see that it's something to do with Elements automatic photo downloading.

I have the free AVG virus protection. For some reason all of my emails look like there is an attachment. I have looked all over their site, but can't find any answer on how to fix this. I know I can uncheck 'the certify' option, but is that disabling to protection or is that just disabling the message that says there is protection and that's what the attachment is??????? (did that make sense? LOL)

OK, got a question on XP and AVG. I have been reading that message board that Juju posted and it's given me so info, but wanted to ask here.
Here's the prob. I keep getting a message that my email scan is not fully functional. The advice on the message board is to fully log off each user rather than just switching users. (but then some games and stuff don't save). They give the following directions if you want to fast switch
Now.. you can configure (using personal configurations) AVG to capture different ports for each user so instead of ports 110/25 you could capture the default ones for the first user, 5200/5100 for the second user, 5400/5300 for the third and so on... and then make the same changes in each users email clients for the POP3/SMTP server ports (110/25 normally). This is why it is much easier to log out of each user and into the new user than to manually configure each user's settings

is that what you do? is it just better to log off rather than switch??

I am trying to play an .avi file that is a live feed capture from Big Brother. I have Windows Media Player but when I play the file I get an error across the bottom of the screen "error downloading codec" but my WMP says it is up to date on codecs. The sound plays, but no video. Any ideas?

I got the file at this link: http://rapidshare.de/files/4775485/howietriestodance.avi.html

I was doing my weekly thing on my pc, cleaning cookie folder, disk cleanup, etc. When I restarted my wallpaper was on my desktop but no icons, no toolbar, etc. I retarted several times and I couldn't get it to come up. I finally went to task manager and came in that way. I still can't get the icons and toolbar up on the desktop. HELP!!!! Thanks.

3 questions to answer so I'm using different colors for each...

Texannie: I'm not sure how to answer your question. I don't know of any mail servers that allow anything other than standard ports for access therefore setting up different accounts as you describe (I think) would not work either. I personally do not have e-mail scanning fully enabled in AVG. Mainly because I have way too many e-mail accounts that I monitor, but also because it seemed to be more bother than it was worth.

Bigd: Visit www.divx.com to download the decoder (and player) to use to view that video. I tried it and it played fine.

Williesmom: Have you considered using a system restore back to a previous known good configuration. I wonder if there isn't something in the task manager that is preventing the computer from finishing the startup process and display the complete desktop? If you can bring up Task Manager, I would try ending unfamiliar processes to see if any of them will allow the desktop to finish loading for you.

Texannie: Have you considered Windows ME?

OK, Seriously. I disable email scanning in AVG and we have 4 users that use the fast switching. The only problem I run into is when I'm on the road using dial-up (like right now). If the kids switch to their user, the connection drops.

HELP!! Please?! Somehow AOL Toolbar has overtaken my computer! Anytime I open up an IE window, or click on a clickable link, or click on the dropdown "world" icon... this stupid message "POPS up" congratulations you have succesfully installed AOL toolbar would you like more information? Box for yes, no under it...

Mind you it doesnt matter if we click yes and go to aol, there is nothing different about my toolbar that I can see... but if you ever listen to the Phantom of the Opera, I scream like the Phantom every time I try and use my computer "Damn You".... (to the music too!! :-) )

Now I have to click where I want, I get a blank page, or the small box from here pops up blank, I have to click no at least 3 times before the window has information - extreme announce factor!!

I have McAffie installed as well...

Reader: Try to uninstall the AOL Toolbar through your 'Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs'. If that doesn't completely remove it, you may need to roll your computer back through System Restore to a point before you started having problems with this.

Skootz, there may be some specific software/drivers for the soundcard built into the laptop you need to install or update. The speaker is usually an option on the Sounds applet in your Control Panel which you have to check to display the icon in your system tray.

Dra...I went into the sounds and everything seems to be working, however when I went to the multimedia, under audio, I was not able to do anything under that tab. specifically, I wanted to put the volume icon in my tool bar and I couldn't do that as nothing was high-lighted there.

Hope that you get your troubles straightened out, Skootz.

E-mail troubles here and I suspect ZoneAlarm. This morning I was prompted by ZoneAlarm that there was a necessary update so I downloaded and installed it (specifically, zlssetup-60-667-000.exe[8.91MB]). After that, I have been unable to sign on with my MSN premium service. ZoneAlarm warned me that MSN wanted on and I said okay and please remember this, but it obviously didn't. Now MSN is telling me that if I have downloaded anything today that I must get it to recognize MSN. Trouble is how do I do that? Should I uninstall the new download from ZoneAlarm?

Hope that this was understandable. Thanks for any help you can give!

Hey, Dra, I'm pretty sure I know what the answer is going to be but I thought I'd ask you anyway. I ran SETI as a screen saver for several years and it has now burned parts of it's image into my monitor screen. Of course I have changed the screen saver but is there anything I can do to get rid of the burned parts or "clean the screen"?
