You might not have permission ... " error message. Note: while it may be just coincidence this problem occurred co…

A Challenge for Infection Protection S/W
by Guest W. eWatson- 0 replies
- 201 views
I heard this on the Clark Howard consumer radio program yesterday. He had been directed by a friend to visit www.tag.com for some common interest with pictures. He eventually found it was loaded with potential infections and mis-use of advertising that led to phone calls, unsolicited mail and charges against some account. It would also grab his address book. Apparently, he acted quickly enough to thwart most of it, but maybe his web site or his next program, radio or CNN (Sunday morning) may update people on it.

G'Day All, In Windows XP one could choose not to display 'Administrator' on the Welcome Screen. One then used CTRL+ALT+DEL to manually enter that user's name when needed. Can this be done in Vista/Win 7 - i.e. with the 'Administrator' a/c enabled, can it NOT be displayed? -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________

Unlock computer delay
by Guest xpavement- 0 replies
- 133 views
I've seen this same issue posted by others across the internet, but I have yet to find a solution posted for it. I lock my system when I walk away and when I go to unlock it and enter my password, their is a 60 second delay until the desktop is redrawn. I can move my mouse, and my programs continue to run since I can hear audio players still playing, but I have to wait to do anything. Any ideas on how this happens and where to look for a fix? It happens even when I first boot up and do no start any programs, but simply attempt to lock/unlock the session.

Searching For Optimization / Clean-Up Application
by Guest Marc B.- 0 replies
- 160 views
Hi, I am an IT Consultant, and am looking to find a good optimization/clean-up program that I can use on my client's machines. Currently, I do all the optimization manually because it seems a lot of the optimization and clean-up programs out there are either not great at doing their job, or aren't transparent in what they do, or potentially cause problems either because they are poorly designed or inundated with spyware/adware/etc. I think the most important feature of an optimization/clean-up program for me would be one where I maintain total control over what it is doing (i.e. it says it wants to do A, B, C, and then I tell it to only do A and C a…
