My Computer Has A Bug :-(


Posted Friday April 25 2008, 6:59 am

About 4 days ago my computer started acting funny. I turned it on and started getting weird pop ups saying that somene was trying to attack my computer or something and infect it with.... a virus or something. Some pop ups say that Windows blocked the virus and some say that I have the virus and have to remove it. The weird thing is I think these pop ups are PART of the virus. It says... Virus Name: Worm.Win32.NetBooster2 Path: C:/Windos/system32/qappsrv.exe
i couldn't find the path in my computer so i think the pop pup has that path name to make itself sem believable because i do have a system32 folder.
Anyway... I'm not sure how we got the virus. We don't go to dirty websites... We have an anti virus or scanner or... well I ...

Thumb Drive Problems


Posted Tuesday April 22 2008, 5:52 pm

I have borrowed a Thumb Drive (if that's what they're called)...

And I need to save something (specifically a PowerPoint) onto it, but I don't know how. Any Step-By-Step, on how to?

And I also would like to know if you don't have Microsoft PowerPoint (2003) downloaded/on your computer, can you still work on your PowerPoint if you save it on the Thumb Drive and onto the computer that doesn't have PowerPoint?

If yes, How?!
Thank you!

Stickam.com


Posted Tuesday April 22 2008, 2:37 pm

Does anyone know how to use stickam? I just made an account on stickam.com because I know that you can watch people live and respond with text to them talking. I requested the person I want to chat with already, but I am not sure what to do to get into the chat once they go live, and be able to just respond with text. Hope I'm not being too confusing, ha. Thanks!

Memory on the computer


Posted Monday April 21 2008, 11:32 pm

Ok so this might sound really stupid, like a common sense question probably. Anyway,

How do you make more memory on your computer? Not buy more memory, but like I want to run photoshop and I dont have enough (RAM) memory to run it, cause it keeps closing out and I get a pop-up saying something like "not enough (RAM) memory to run this program"

Any ideas?

Sims 2 pets drive/garage


Posted Sunday April 20 2008, 3:44 pm

I don't know what i did (whether i downloaded something or it just happend) but i remember downloading a car for sims 2 and then the driveway/garage section was activated so i could make houses with garages and drives, but i only have sims 2 and sims 2 pets.

I've since had to wipe the computer so now i cant get that option back on my game. I've looked it up on the internet but it seems impossible because every site says you can only have the garages if you have Nightlife ect.

Does anyone know how this happend and if theres anything i can download like a mod that will make this available again? Thank you

Computer randomly shutting down


Posted Sunday April 20 2008, 4:52 am

Ok, I have been having this problem with my PC and it seems to be getting a bit worse.

From time to time my computer randomly shuts down. It seemed to be caused primarily by graphics and video applications (e.g. games). In recent days however, it managed to do it with nothing running but Windows. That’s when it really bothered since it can interfere with my work.

Now, the odd thing is, it doesn’t fully shut down. The monitor goes to sleep, and there is no response from keyboard/ mouse, but I can hear that part of it is still running. The fan is still on for example.

Oh and just before shutting down it makes a short, stuttered noise.

I went online to try to sort this out and pe...

DTV


Posted Friday April 18 2008, 11:47 pm

Hey,
Okay, its not really computers, but I keep seeing the commercials on american stations about the change to DTV. I live in canada, but like 85% of my television channels are american. So What I want to know, is if the switch thing is going to affect me. And if it does affect canadians, how does it affect them, and what do you need to do in order to ensure that nothing is going to happen to my television?
Thanks!!
