I want to try and stop my staff (well one of them anyway) from playing the Windows games. How do I remove / hide them? The Control panel option of remove / add programs doesn't work.

The games or the Staff?

Go to the game you wish to remove and click its properties. That will give you its directory and sub directories. Go to that directory, find the game you wish with an extension .exe, Don't delete it but change its name to one you can remember in case you wish to play the game yourself in the future. Should solve the problem. This would do for 2000 and before, not certain about latest version.

Thanks Fred

As you probably know, there are different types of 'Pop-ups'. Does your 'Pop-up Blocker' work effectively to prevent them spoiling your Internet enjoyment?

Can anyone answer please, I'm looking to upgrade my PC but would like to know if and when Microsoft will be launching there new OS.

computer closes and restarts in safe zone ???
shall i reload ME as perhaps some stuff lost ??

Guv,

Microsoft Vista

Breydon,

Have you tried a Window Update in Me? There may be a patch for what you are experiencing.

With Tiny Drivers you will just have to Google the Model number/ Part Number (On the underneath) and the word driver and trawl.

I have two simple questions.

1. I am using IE as my browser but, having read the recent press, switching to Firefox seems sensible. But, is it as simple as replacing one with another? For example, I use pocket pc on my mobile (IE). Do I have to change that too, in order for Ian to recognise both users as me? Are there any conflicts and what is the step-bt-step-'blonde'-way to effect the switchover?

2. (Much easier!). Those of you who have the right software, please could you tell me, if somebody bought something costing 100 in 1823, what would the price be in today's currency?

Thanks

Priscilla,

When you download and install Firefox, it will import your IE settings if you wish. Thereafter, all you need do is invoke Firefox instead of IE -- you can tell Firefox to be your default browser as well. You can continue to use IE if and when you wish.

You don't need to do anything to your handheld -- Ian and MAM would recognise you anywhere ;-)

I think your question 2. is harder than 1. -- so I'll leave that for someone else.

Goodness, MM, a reply in the time it took me to make a cup of tea! Thank you. Version 1.5 seems to be the latest so I'm about to take the leap. (Not a very brave bear....)

What cost $100 in 1823 would cost $1,385.50 in 2005. Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2005 and 1823, they would cost you $100 and $7.22 respectively.

This was calculated for the USA $ using The Inflation Calculator at http://www.westegg.com/inflation/

There are similar facilities for Italy and Canada but i can't see one for the UK.

Can anyone help with a virulent virus I've picked up tonight whilst using my spare laptop on dial up. I've acquired gaelciumA which AVG wont remove and Panda now wont scan ? Bit stuck so any assistance gratefully appreciated. It's altered 104 windows files!

Check out http://www.grisoft.com/doc/removal/lng/us/tpl/tpl01?uti=Vcleaner for removal of the Win32/Gaelicum virus

I found a reference to Win32/Gaelicum.A at http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=451250 and clicked on the link mentioned in the 2nd post.

Good Luck with it.
PS. Watch your spelling?

CS I've had a look at the Symantec website and there's no mention of any virus of that name. If it aint there it's surprising. Is that the correct spelling?

Symantec search

edit more help from DocProc than me ;-)

edit found it:

Gaelicum virus

Doc Proc. Thank you. That's extremely helpful and supports the argument in my report. Much appreciated. But if anyone does find a UK inflation calc, please let me know.
