I have recently started using a T-Mobile Dongle. It has been working fine until about 10 days ago. If I try to load IE it just says IE cannot display the page. However, AOL still works so I presume it is not the dongle. I tried restoring my computer back two weeks to when it was working. Also I have reinstalled the dongle software and reset the IE settings to the factory settings. None of these worked. AOL seems to be working fine but it did stop working earlier. It started saying page cannot be displayed but then I restarted the computer and it worked. Please help! Continue reading...

When I first ran Win 7 I used the name OWNER somewhere, or at least that was the default name that came up and I didn't change it. Now it's embedded everywhere and I'd like to change it without doing a re-install. The user folder was originally named "Owner", I have changed that. Searching the registry the name "OWNER-PC" comes up all over the place. I have changed the name of the computer, and my user folder name, but the old name "Owner", "OWNER-PC", "Owner-PC", etc. comes up all over the registry. Is there a key value that all subsequent key values get this value from? Can I just do a search and replace? I'd create a system restore point and system backup via Wi…
