Is there anyway I can change my password without remembering my old one or is there some way I can disable the password funtion. I have had to do this before but cannot for the life of me remember what steps I took to disable the password. HELP!

can you put 2 different video cards in a computer when they're from different mfrs and use totally different drivers?
right now I do have 2 vid cards with a monitor on each one, everything works fine cuz they're both from the same mfr and use the same driver.
but I got this mongo 21" monitor that can do a 2048x1536 resolution, and neither of my vid cards can do that. so I want to swap 1 card with a newer one. no vid cards are available that use the same driver as what I'm using right now. so it will be different. I don't want to replace both cards.
would it work?0 -

I have tryed atleast 5 times to delete them and the next time I turn on the computer they reapear in my favorites again. Does anybody have any ideas as to what's causing this to happen?

If I know an IP address, but don't know the website, how do I access that IP address? The reason I ask is, my firewall shows me the IP address of people who try to hack in my PC, and I would like to ping them back just to let them know I know they're trying to look in.

Before I take an action I was wondering if one of the more 'puter savy gents here could give me a straight answer.
Last weekend I updated/-graded my 'puter's security software.
This computer had/has Norton 2006 installed but is expired.
I bought and downloaded Norton 360.
Now, can I uninstall Norton '06 or does the Norton 360 need it to run??
Thanks for all the help.0 -
My old Dell is acting up! I try to run microsoft word, works , my photo software etc, and it locks up! Some time I get a message that memory is low. I check my memory on the system settings icon and it says It's around 72 percent, which isn't bad!!
I did a disc check, I ran defrag, I cleaned up old files and removed them, any ideas or is it time for a trip to the shop!!

I got my daughters new laptop going on the internet via wireless router. But for some reason my home computer and her laptop cannot be on the same internet page at the same time.
If you try to do this it pops up a conflict warning on both computers.

Alright, I've got a quick question for yall. My laptop, well, it's being a PITA. First off, the keyboard is ignoring many of the keys I hit. Here, let me type a sentence without goin back and fixing it. My keyboad is being gay nd it realy pisses me off I'm ired of it and i is eally annoying. I spelled that perfectly, taking my time, yet my keyboard ignored some letters. Also, when I use the touch pad, the cursor goes berserk. I can just touch the thing, and the cursor goes flying around the screen. So, right now, I'm stuck using a regular mouse in the USB drive, and spending more time fixing errors than I am typing. 0 -

First off, I am using Internet Explorer.
I have my homepage set to Yahoo.
In the yahoo search box, if I start to type it brings up a box of recent searches that are similar in spelling.
How do I reset or delete these recent searches? I have misspelled alot of what I search for, and it is more of a nuisance than a help to me.
Or even better, how do I turn off this feature?

What is a good, small, program for seeing what IP addresses your computer is attempting to touch at any given time?
The reason for asking is after being on-line for a while my service gets R E A L L Y S L O W, but if I shut down and restart it seems normal (slow) again. I've checked for viruses, but can't find any. I'd like to see if some of my bandwidth is getting hijacked somehow into doing double duty.0 -
My ancient IBM Aptiva started running slower and slower, so I decided to reboot to clear all the garbage. I've done this many times without problems over the years. Admittedly, it is an old computer and I still use Windows 98. My problem is that it takes 30 minutes or so for the computer to run the System Memory Test and it never boots over to Windows no matter how long I leave it on. Cutting it off and restarting with the reboot disk doesn't work. I've pulled the memory chips and reinstalled them with no improvement. Any ideas? 0 -
I have McAfee Antivirus Plus on my computer. Starting today I got popups popping up what seems like continuously, bout driving me nuts. The popups are titled Vista Antispyware 2012- unregistered version. If I click on McAfee it says "computer is secure, no action required". So whats going on. Speak slowly with small words as I am not real computer literate. Thanks. 0 -
