  1. Depends how he/she got in. It also depends on what kind of software you are running; as far as firewall and what not. If they got in physically, you should have used a stronger password and disabled the guest account. You could also have made your My Documents private. That way, not even an admin can access your stuff. Of course, they could either take ownership or backup and restore your files somewhere else.

    Best thing you can do is download Microsoft's Private Folder. It's a password protected folder that can't be accessed by any means unless you know the password, IIRC.

  2. The AND'ing only means that the e-mail will be moved when, and only when the stated conditions are met. So if you set up a rule to have e-mail from sent to a specific account, with a specified domain, and with the sender being in the address book, THEN move it to a folder.

    If you want to have emails sent from a certain domain put in a specific folder, just do what I had posted earlier. If you want to have emails sent from certain users, it's better to create a distribution list. Then in the conditions dialog box, check the very first option, from people or distribution list, and select the list you just created.

    I personally would rather keep rules simple. A simple AND, THEN thing.

    So to recap, the AND simply means that if: condition 1 AND 2 AND 3 AND 4 pass, THEN move it to the folder. If one of those conditions do not meet, than the email stays in the inbox. There's nothing wrong with making conditions, it let's you be specific in how you want your emails filed.

    BTW: You should seperate your rules based on who or what group sends the emails and what folder they will goto. You don't really need to add "on this machine only". That would cause issues IMO.

  3. Here's what you have to do:

    You don't have to be in safemode to run this.

    What he means by "gone" is that when you reboot, it will run chkdsk and you can't use it since you wont be in windows. That's all.

  4. BTW, you can also run chkdsk from the recovery console. Pop in your xp cd and go into the recovery console. Enter your admin password and enter the number for the drive that you want to check. Type chkdsk /f /r.

  5. Ok, go to tools>rules and alerts>new rule>select start from a blank rule>next>scroll down the step 1 box until you see "with specific words in the sender's address" and check it>in the step 2 box click the highlighted phrase "specific words">enter a domain name like @whoever.net and click add>next>check "move it to a specified folder" and then click the highlighted word like in the previous step>next(twice if you don't have any exceptions)>verify that the rules are how you want them and hit finish. You can also check run this rule now... but that's up to you.

  6. You're going to have to remove all non-essential parts from your system and see what the problem is. In you have onboard sound and video, switch to them and pull out the sound and video card. If you have two optical drives and/or harddrives, pull out one of each, leaving the master on. Sounds like some bad hardware is causing setup to get stuck.

  7. Hi,

    Yes, I have rebooted, and the replacement

    adapter is in the slot.

    And, the device manager shows the replacement

    adapter with some #2 at the end of the description.

    Is this normal? I thought the adapter should identify

    itself without any numbers at the end.

    I am thinking this may be as the older card and

    the replacement card have the same chipsets, and

    the replacement card may pick up an older driver.

    As a matter of fact, I double checked the replacement

    adapter's driver, and it appears that the driver is for

    the replacement adapter.

    But, how do I ensure that the device manager

    reports the true replacement adapter, not the older one?

    Thanks.

    I think what rendrag was asking is if the old network adapter is still in the system.

  8. The monitors basically work one way>monitor a port>log what is monitored. They may have temporarily taken the monitor offline, they may not be monitoring port 80, or maybe the software was reconfigured; or more unlikely, they are not limiting your total bandwith. There's a couple of reasons. The way I seen it, if you stand on the benefit side, keep quite and ride the bandwidth train until it lasts.

  9. The router is the DHCP server right? And both PC's are in the same workgroup? Do you have a firewall? If so, you need to add an exception to allow all traffic from whatever range internal IP address scheme you have. Most firewalls have a little wizard that will locate your internal lan and allow all traffic within it.

    but he only has to do that if he's going from outside his firewall to inside his firewall... if both computers exist inside the firewall, that's not necessary. the avg home firewall does not block internally routed traffic

    Oh, I actually meant software firewall on each system. I've only gone through 3 firewall software but they all semi-blocked internal traffic. But it was probably because I restricted my firewalls so much.
