can some please help me. i use google and when im websurfing a pop up comes out and reads Shockwave Flash - the plug in performed an illegal operation you are strongly advised to restart firefox. my ? is where can i find the root of this problem, it always pops out when i am online ?

 

[yamakazi18]

^just run adaware and also spybot and you should be fine. also, download the "noscript" extension off the firefox website to make sure that popups and non-wanted java apps don't run when you don't want them to.

You don't lose your songs when you uninstall iTunes. When you reinstall it'll search for all your music files and add them to your library.

You have to format the partition that Windows XP is on, which means that you will lose everything you have on it. Or you can use a dual boot, which is what I do.

Google it for more info. (The 1st link should be fine.)

^ i knw that i wont lose songs that are on my computer but I want the songs that i added with cd...so i will lose that correct?

 

[stick]

^ Songs that you added by a CD are on your computer. When you click "Rip CD", it copies the songs from the CD and puts them on your computer.

They should be in C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music

I bought a LCD monitor off craigslist yesterday. When I hooked it up to my desktop last night, it was very very dim. I hooked up a CRT monitor to see if could change the settings of the LCD but had no luck. What could be the problem.

The person I bought the monitor from won't be back til Sunday/Monday. What could the problem(s) be? Would it be an easy fix?

I just got the new iTunes this week and I finally updated the software to my ipod and it says one of my videos (which I purchased from their itunes store) can't be put on my ipod because it doesn't support that format. I had it on there until I updated the software. Does anyone know whats up with that and how I can fix it?

That's the tradeoff for using Style XP. Loads of themes available, but they will bombard you with spyware. Whenever you dl a theme, I believe it forces you to accept the Accoona toolbar, which is spyware. If you have a good AV on your cpu, it shouldn't be a problem, but don't fool around with it if you're running McAfee, Norton or somethin like that.

Yo whats up NT..I'm sure this question has been asked plenty of times before and I'll probably be flamed for asking it, but for the sake of my time (seeing that I have a paper due in 2 days) I can't search through every single page of this thread. I'm wondering, for my laptop, is it good to leave it on for extended periods of time, let's say 2-3 days, or is it good to turn it off on a daily basis, or is it bad to leave it on in general? I ask this because I know laptops have the tendency to overheat. Thanks ahead of time.

^it's a good habit to turn off your computer daily. you save your laptop screen from burning out (unless the screen is turned off), and save your fan from overworking and in general prevent early death of your laptops.
