breydon, Optimist tried to help and I would also have done had I understood what you are asking. Please explain in detail what you are trying to do and what problem you are expecting.

Spaceman.Realised that.later:-)
Used "Remove Messenger" Gone now

He asked me Spaceman!!! Er................Bang it hard:-)))))))))

Iain, sorry I didnt mean to but in I missed that bit, leave it to you ;-)

Iain

I would not worry too much about the messenger service it is sometimes used by Windows to give you system messages and can be very useful on a LAN with several computers. The new firewall in SP2 should block messenger messages from the internet but you may need to tweak the settings. Leave it enabled unless you are getting unwanted popups.

I have just installed SP2 and so far so good. The firewall is a lot better but as it is either on or off on all connections. If you are using a LAN you may have to tweak the settings. They have made some changes to IE6 which now has a popup blocker and feels faster. Windows media player 9 is also installed.

Noticed it does seem a lot faster.
Tim i was "Amazed" I was asked.Not Territorial:-))))

HELP!!!!

i have hit a wrong button by mistake and me task bar that is normally down the bottom is on the top of the page:-( how can i get it down to the bottom again please????

Mega...

Drag and drop it (with your left button) to where you want it.

i have been using the D-Link DI-604 ethernet router,
it has an inbuilt firewall but i have no software for it,all what was on the CD what come with it was the manual,
should i have some kind of software or dont i need to set up the firewall,

steve

scussy, the firewall will be running in the firmware inside the router. I don't know this particular router but normally you would type the address of your router into a browser (e.g. http://192.168.0.1 ), log in to the router and set up the firewall. Should be covered in the manual :-)) It will be worth however checking the manufacturer's website for a new version of the firmware before you start.

scussy, k has already answered this and I put some more in the other thread. You may well find that the firewall is on by default .http://www.adslguide.org is normally a good site to check for info on particular routers

7thF many thanks worked a treat :-)))

MBucks - My pleasure. It's the only question I've ever understood on this thread!
:-)

Kayak and Spaceman,

Some of you with long memories will remember I had a problem displaying stockwatch and level 2, as well as some other sites. Well, everything is now sorted after various emails with medion but I had to do a complete reinstall of everything to get there!

Thanks to everyone who tried to help :-)

Nearly a month since the last post on here. We must all be a right load of PC experts. :-)

My reason for posting? I wondered if anyone had bought the 19" TFT Monitor from Aldi at 299 recently, and if so, I wanted to ask "Are they any good? If so, could you recommend one?"

I read a bit about them here:

Following a computer breakdown,I recently had a new computer built by a friend,and installed Symantec Internet Security 2004. Since commission I have been unable to view streaming sharts on MAM. I had 2001 on the old machine and never had this problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Roger.

Try re-installing Java.Cured mine

After my recent rebuild, almost everything is working well but I can't get my laptop speakers to work at all so I must have lost the sound driver somewhere along the line.

I am running Windows XP on a Tosh Satellite.

Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

This might be the driver you require:
