my computer is SO screwed up. like my computer wont let me go on some programs and then an error pops up saying :: The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\System32\WININET.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.
i cant even run the virus scan.. what do i do?!
You may have a virus, you may have something else. It sounds like some file is corrupted. What you need to do is either try a system restore or wipe the machine and reinstall windows. Make sure, if you do a clean install, that all important information is saved and that you have all of your drivers before reinstalling Windows.

Uninstall AIM, go to the AIM website (http://www.aim.com/), download AIM (this is to make sure you have the most current version) to an easily accessible place on your hard drive, and then install the new download.

Ok, i have a monitor that is only about 3 years old and i aquirred another monitor and so i unplugged my old one and plugged the new one up and it has a VERY dark tint to it, so i plugged the older one back up and NOW it has a greenish yellow tint, I have tried using the color/contrast tools, and darkening/lightening tools on my system, but it only made it worse....Whats wrong with the old monitor? it was never dropped or anything....i am so confused...thanks
As Russ said, it might be one of the pins. But since it sounds like both monitors are having problems you might want to check and make sure your video card has not come loose/unseated from the mother board. If the connection at the back of the computer jiggles when you touch it, you need to open your computer case and make sure the video card is firmly seated in its slot.

I'm getting a new computer soon and I'm not sure what operating system to install. I've been using Windows XP for a while but i've had quite a few people tell me that Linux is better. I use a computer for playing games, watching films and word processing. Which operating system does these things the best? I already have windows xp so cost isn't an issue.
If you're an avid gamer you would want to stick with Windows. There are a few game distributions that offer their games in Linux, but not all gaming companies offer this. But if you want to play around with Linux and its programs, why not make your new computer into a dual-boot? That way you have both and can switch between the two depending on what you are going to be doing on the computer at that time.
If you decide to go with a Linux distribution, make sure that you have all the Linux drivers for your hardware before installation. That way you don't run into any problems when installing.

I enjoy making AIM buddy icons. There is one site that I always submit at. THat site is dollbuddieicons.net. Today when I went to the website instead of the usual home page coming up this message came up:
PHP is not enabled on your account.
What does this mean? And can I do to get it to work? Thank you.
"PHP is not enabled on your account" means that the site owner was running a script that uses PHP but the company that hosts the site does not offer PHP to the site owner. This isn't a problem on your end, it a problem with the site and their hosting company. There's nothing that you can do but wait for the people that own the site to fix things.

I see in many people advice thing that they have music and cuter back grounds with pictures and words floating by.. How do i get that?
You need a working knowledge of HTML (www.htmlgoodies.com) and/or borrow, steal, buy, get codes from authors that supply them (www.hotscripts.com).

I do not understand IP addresses at all. What are they for? How can you track someone through them? I know everyone has one and they are used for internet purposes. I just don't know what purposes or why someone would want to know someone else's. This all arose when I saw something that said when you go in the advicenators chatroom (I believe using the CGI thing) everyone can see it. I wasn't sure if that was good or bad. So can someone please explain to me what this is for?
You can find out everything you've ever wanted to know about internet protocol by visting here:
http://searchnetworking.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid7_gci214031,00.html
There were also some wonderful definitions by googling the term "What is Internet Protocol".
No one can see your IP, unless you have set your settings to show it, when entering our chat. Your IP should be masked and is used only when problems occur with the user.

Ok well every time I try to download fonts I'm able to download them but I can't use them. It doesn't show up in my microsoft word when I want to type something, like when you scroll down the font names it's not there. Any way to fix this? I'm saving them under windows/fonts but it still isn't doing anything. How can I fix this?
Thanks
Click on your Start menu, go to your Control Panel, once that opens double click on fonts and the fonts window with all your installed fonts will open. Click file and scroll down to "Install new font..." and a dialog box will appear called "Add fonts". Then you select which drive you have downloaded the fonts to and then use the folders to the left to move to the folder where the downloaded fonts are located. You should then have a list of fonts, select which ones wou want to install then click okay.
If this doesn't work there's a good chance that the program that you are using does not support that type of font.
Good Luck

I have this Quantum Fireball 10 gig hard drive that I have been having serious problems with. Whenever I have it in my computer, as soon as I boot my computer it starts clicking and when Windows actually starts, it's really slow. I think it's skipping, but I'm not sure, what can I do do fix this. Only answer if you can think of somthing to insult me with or make me laugh...or if you can actually help me here.
If it's a Ten gig hard drive it's probably ancient. And since your computer writes and erases things to the disk continuously after a while the disk goes bad and can no longer be read. There's no way to fix the problem with the disk... disks just wear out. You either need to buy a new hard drive with the same specifications, upgrade your hard drive with a new one that is better but can also run on your system, or get a new computer all together.

Hi
Ive tried several web pages to get this sorted so im giving you guys a go.
Everytime i try to load internet explorer i get an error message saying there are problems with an add on. Ive tried disabling the add on and a system restore but its not working. Im currently having to use a different browser but thats causing problems as some programs wont run this program as a default browser so i need my explorer back up and running
please help!!!
You might want to try uninstalling IE, download the newest version of IE and install it. You shouldn't have to do a system restore if one program isn't working, unless it's due to a virus/worm.
You can find the newest version of IE at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx. You might also want to try their support pages (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx) to see if anyone else is having this issue. It's a good chance that someone else is having the same issue and that Microsoft has the solution you are looking for.
Also, make sure you are running virus protection and that your virus definitions are up to date. You might also want to consider downloading some free adware (lavasoftusa.com) and spyware (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html) removal programs and running a system scan with those as well. There is the possibility that you have adware and/or spyware programs that are hijacking your browser.
Good Luck.

So, awhile back I was doing a project for health class where I needed to find the price of baby strollers and I went to google to look them up. One of the first links I clicked on was ebay, but I immediately clicked out of it because we weren't allowed to buy used items. Since then, words on Spacefem and Livejournal have been underlined, and upon clicking them I get sent to an ebay site for that particular item. (Ex: my friend got "New Shoes" and they were underlined in her livejournal, when I clicked on it, there was a section for shoes.) I'm also experiencing random popups that have to do wtih the site I'm browsing, but I have a popup-blocker, so this shouldn't happen, and they're on sites I've never had popups on before said popup-blocker was installed. Most of these sites lead back to ebay. So..has anyone experienced this before, and if so, how did you get rid of it? I think it's making my connection slower as well, so though I can live with it, I'd like to get it fixed.
Sounds like you have adware. I would suggest downloading Ad-aware or Spybot Search & Destroy. Both are free to use and are safe to download. Once you download one of them, run the program. It will scan your system like a virus scanner and tells you what malware, spyware, adware yolu have on your machine and then gives you the chance to delete the bad stuff.
Good luck.

Okay I have a question about deleting cookies on your computer. I was wondering what exactly does it do when you delete cookies. I delete my history all the time, but what does it mean to delete your cookies? I saw a question where the answer was to delelte cookies, so it just made me curious. I know how to delete cookies, I never have because I never knew what it did. So what exactly is 'deleting cookies'?
From www.netplusmarketing.com:
"A cookie is a text file placed on your hard drive by some Web pages that you visit. The cookie allows the Webmaster to track your visits to their Website as well as correlate that information with other information such as the previous page you visited, your operating system, your browser plus any information that you volunteer via a form. When you return to that Website the site will retrieve your cookie file from your hard drive and use whatever information is stored to target content and advertising to both your stated preferences (where asked) and the behavior that you exhibited. It is this technology that allows you to store items in an electronic shopping basket and "remember" other useful pieces of information such as passwords."
When you delete those cookies/bits of information it frees up disk space and lessens the chance of hackers stealing vital information. Just like your history it should be deleted at least once a week.

Ok, i just got a motorola IM free and it has a base unit that plugs into a USB port on the computer. Problem is that my computer doesnt recognize that i have USB ports. I think my dad may have gotten it to notice the ports but it says they need to be configured. What does this mean and how do i do it?
You need to check and see if the drivers for your USB controllers are correct. You need to do this by going to your System Configuration which is located in the Control Panel. Once you're there, click the Hardware Tab, and then click device manager. Scroll down to Universal Serial Bus Controllers and make aure all of them are enabled and have the correct drivers.

okay idk how i did it..but i managed to take the volume icon away from my taskbar icons. how do i put it back?
Right click on your taskbar, click properties in the menu, click "Customize..." in the lower right-hand corner. I should show you current items in the task bar and past items that were in the taskbar. Just select the volume icon and choose "always show" from the drop-down menu. Unfortunately, I have no clue as to what to do if that volume icon isn't listed. Hopefully someone will have more help for you and/or my suggestion works.
Good Luck!

how do u delete your history of ur computer? like the websites uve gone to ? pleasetell me
I'm going to assume you are using Internet Explorer since you didn't let us know what browser you are using.
Open up Internet Explorer, click Internet Options, click the General tab if it isn't already selected. There you can delete your cookies, temporary internet files and history by clicking the apporpriate buttons. When finished click "OK" to go back to normal browsing.
Please make sure this is what you want to do before you do it, there's no getting that information back or restoring the history once it's deleted.

It's junk/spam e-mails. Spammers use random words at the bottom of their e-mails to get past spam detection programs and software. This particular e-mail wants you to buy software (illegal software at that) at discounted prices. It also appears that the message was written in HTML (Hyper-text markup language) which is used in webpages. Either it's coded wrong or your "other half" has HTML turned off in his mail reading program.
This is nothing I would be concerned about. Everyone gets spam in their inbox if they have a public e-mail address.

I've noticed on some profiles, people have words that move across the page. Someone told me to type marquee with around it, type what I wanted to say, and then type marquee with around it again, and I did that, but then when I looked at my page..EVERYTHING on my page was moving...How do I get only the things I want to move to move? HELP!
Thanks!
-Nik!
Fern is correct in saying that you needed to end the tag. To put a marquee where you want it you would type it like this (without the spaces of course):
< marquee > Look at me I'm scrolling! < /marquee >
It's like any HTML tag that you do. Whenever you open something you have to close it or everything will do it.
Good Luck!
