Ok, I do have a MyPassport backup I've been using. It had been a couple of months since I backed up my data, though. I guess I should probably do that more often. Think I'm gonna wait to replace it until it dies. Thanks.

Not too sure what that means. So that's not something that reformatting or a full system recovery would fix? If that ends up being my issue.

So I had used my computer just yesterday and set it to standby as usual. This morning when I tried to turn it on it, the blue power light came on, but there was no image on my monitor. Other info if helpful: Computer is a little over a year old. Monitor has tv and computer monitor...

Ok. Thanks guys.

Hi I just recently saw a message in my spam folder that was strange in that it had my e-mail address as the sender. I triple checked it to see if it was exactly the same and it was. I think the subject was something about a viagra discount. There was also a message when I was logged into...

Ok, thanks guys. No worries then.

So, I saw this for the first time the other day when I turned on my computer. "Another computer on this network has the same IP address." Should I worry, or is it just a network glitch. Thanks.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. Turns out they were a little shady with the computer. In the fine print (1) This system may require upgrade and/or separately purchased hardware and/or a DVD drive to install the Windows 7 software and take full advantage of Windows 7 functionality. I have no...

Update - Computer lasted for 2 days then died again. Just bought a new one for $350. Compaq CQ5320F AMD Dual Core 2.8 GHz 500GB HD Windows 7 3GB DDR3 RAM Seems pretty cool so far.

Thanks for the advice, it was the power supply and I think I've fixed the problem. By think I mean my computer has stayed on for 1 and a half hours now after cleaning it, when before it wouldn't even boot up all the way. First, I cleaned out the inside of the computer and sprayed into the...

Any suggestions if I look for a new computer? Looking for 2 GHz+, Windows 7 or XP, and hopefully under $400, but I could go higher for a good deal. I normally buy everything at Wal-Mart. Should I look at other stores?

Compressed air... probably the last time I had it repaired, which was maybe 3/4 years ago. I don't have an air compressor, though. What's the best way to do this?

My current computer seems to be shutting down recently, maybe once a day. It started maybe 3 weeks ago, when I would accidentally bump the tower with my leg. Now it seems to seems to shut down like once a day. Should I take it into a shop or just look for a new/used one. Current XP desktop...

Well, my internet was down for a few days and the problem cleared itself up. It seems like I definitely had something, but none of the programs found anything. Kind of weird. Oh, well, thanks for the advice.

I think the file name that TrendMicro's scan found is MS08-074.

I've been getting a frequent Reminder window that pops up about every 30 minutes. Says that it cannot connect to the webpage and it resembles a web browser window except there's no X in the upper right corner so I have to use TaskManager to close it. AVG and MalwareBytes found nothing...

Thanks for looking at my log. It was a while ago, but I remember I had trouble updating to a new version of Firefox and then I had trouble uninstalling the old version and tried to manually. I think I messed something up with the manual uninstall...It's a shame cause that was my favorite browser.

Has anyone else checked out this face recognition program. http://celebrity.myheritage.com/celebrity-face-recognition It's kind of cool. Some of the matches are pretty accurate, but others are way off. My friend had a few celebs that he did kind of look like, and then they also matched...

Yeah, my computer's been acting a little funny recently - Internet Freeze and the rare computer freeze. AVG and Malwarebytes said I was clean, but normally when my computer acts funny there's some type of malware. I don't know maybe it's just getting old - 2002. I normally use Safari...
