Internet Explorer/No connection?
Posted Thursday June 3 2010, 6:19 am
A few days ago I removed a virus I had on my computer. I don't know what I did, but a window popped up and I saw that my firewall was off? So I turned it on. Then the next day, I couldn't connect to AIM. and now I just realized that I can't connect to Yahoo, and Internet Explorer won't work either. :\ I have Vista, and the little weather gadget stopped working also. Everything worked fine before I tried to remove that virus. It's really frustrating me! Firefox still works though. I've tried adding the programs to the "exceptions" list in my firewall settings but it still won't work. I've tried restarting my computer too.... What's going on? Does this all have to do with Internet Explorer not working or something? I googled the Int...

windows 7
Posted Monday May 31 2010, 11:25 am
i got this brand new computer for graduation and it has windows 7 installed. it doesn't allow me to delete, drag, or drop icons or folders like my former computer with vista had. what should i do? trade it in for a better computer or have them install a new program or is there a settings option for the control of icons and folders? i'm no computer expert so this is beyond me. i googled windows 7 drag and drop problem and found that i'm not the only one.

Gmail Contacts
Posted Saturday May 22 2010, 12:42 pm
I use Gmail. My problem is that in my inbox, the names on the "threads" I have are not always the names I have assigned to the contacts.
For example, let's say I have a friend whose email address is sexychick01144@yahoo.com, and her name is Sarah Perkins. The thread title is "me, sexychick01144 (2)," not "me, Sarah Perkins (2)." I have this hypothetical girl added in my contacts with that name.
How do I fix this so her NAME shows up, not her email address username?

What does this mean?
Posted Friday May 14 2010, 7:34 pm
My Anti-Virus scan complete and it said:
C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{498C777C-415A-44FC-AE23-BB0A6967D5AB}\RPS SafeConnect.msi
Some parts of this file could not be scanned because they are password protected. The real-time protection will automatically scan these parts when they are accessed.

Does anyone know what the file is above and if I should be worrying or not? THanks

ipod won't sync
Posted Wednesday May 12 2010, 10:18 pm
When I connect my ipod the computer makes that sound (meaning it recognizes it) and it shows up on my itunes. It syncs automatically but nothing new is added to my ipod. After a little bit the ipod no longer shows up in my itunes. I know its not the cord because it charges fine and is connected to my computer, but it just wont sync anything, even though it says on both the computer and the ipod that it is syncing. This seemed to happen after my dad changed the password on his account the other day. I can still purchase from itunes and sign in though, so I don't know if its related. Please help, I'm so frustrated.
Thanks!
