OOPS! LOL - Don't tell her that I called her a guy!

What browser are you using? What is the file extension of the file when you go to upload it?

No problem Nancy! I think it is your computer as well. We'll get it figured out eventually.

It's great that you got it to work with Netscape but that's really strange that it won't work with IE. Maybe Draheid may have an idea of what could be causing it?

I am trying to remember the name of the free virus scan software that was mentioned here last year. I used it on my dds computer and it was very good for her needs. Now my other dd is calling for help and I'm at a loss as to what I used before. I think it was Draheid that mentioned it, but not positive on that. Can anyone help with a download site???

It's AVG Antivirus(Free). Go to the top of this thread and click the link Dra has provided to download it.

For Desperate Housewives:

Fox doesn't offer tv downloads. For 24, your best bet would be the torrent sites.

I have been having problems the past few years with the letters wearing away on keyboards (IBM and Sony laptops). I use my laptop with work and play 8 hours a day and my nails aren't long and are always manicured. Does anyone else have this problem? I may have to resort to a keyboard cover if such a thing exists for laptops.

I haven't noticed this myself. Do you use hand cream because I think that can sometimes affect keyboards?

Nope. My Sony is under 3 months old and the e, m, and n are starting to fade slightly. I will wait until I am near the 1 year warranty expiration and get new keys then. I have strong nails and file them straight across, so maybe that is doing it.

Something new seems to be happening with my Windows XP computer. If I leave it on all day , after a few hours of non use it shuts down as I have it set to do - ie the energy saving is set so that the monitor turns off after 20 minutes and the system goes on standby. Always, in the past, I would just move the mouse and everything would wake up.

In the last week or so the monitor will not wake up. The computer is still on but the monitor says it is not receiving a signal and will not wake up. I have to push the power button and force the computer to shut down - then reboot it.

Any idea what is happening and how to change it? :-)

Just a guess, Jan, but sometimes Standby mode can be very buggy. I learned that early on in my computer life and have avoided using it ever since.

ACK! One of the first things I do with a new computer is KILL standby mode.

I've had that same symptom.

Standby works great on my Notebook computer (but maybe that is because it is a Notebook).

Jan, The standard question in these situations is have you installed any new programs lately or are you running anything in the background?

Whenever I set up new systems one of the first things I do is kill the standby mode

In the past I was running Seti@home (now BOINC) on all computers, including the notebook, and I didn't want the ham-handed software deciding my computer was idle, when it was really crunching numbers.

Standby has a way of cutting in while you are in the middle of something, also.
