Got 2 AOC 15" VGA and 1 Viewsonic 19" DVI VGA

if you are staying with a 3 screen setup,i would dump the 15's and get two 19",would be pleasing on the eye and can get 2 charts on a 19" where on the 15" you can only get one,
do you have a triple graphics card or two doubles,if you can run 4 screens just get another 19" so you match up the screens,

I changed my router and on one of my computer when I try to connect via the wireless connection, it connects but I get a message, 'windows cannot find a certificate for this network' , so it stops me getting in. Any ideas greatly appreciated,

Is it the wireless router that you replaced? Did you set up the wireless access on the new router? Can you connect by WiFi on any of your other machines.

It sounds as though your computer has not got the correct settings or is trying to connect to the wrong network although I'm puzzled by the mention of certificates as most home WiFi systems do not use certificates.

Hi Optimist, yes its the wireless router I replaced to get greater coverage in my house. I can connect by wireless on 2 other of my machines, a PC and a laptop. On the other laptop I can only connect using the hard (wired) connection from the router. It is connecting to the right network, as I have named it. Thanks

Was the full message actually

""Windows was unable to find a certificate to log you on to the network [SSID]""

??

It must be something to do with the wirless settings on the computer. If it's asking for a certificate then it is probablely using the wrong security settings.

Try creating a new wirless connection and let the wizard guide you through it.

Yes, exactly with the name of my network in the square brackets rather than SSID

Jeff Liebermann's post might have the answer - if Optimists doesn't

I've just received a bundle of 60 pix in an attachment via IE 7. They are innocuous and from a trusted source. When I opened the attachment and clicked on the first image it opened OK in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. I clicked on the "next" button and instead of viewing the next image I was shown pictures bits of sites I had visited earlier in the day. What's going on? Norton virus check shows nothing untoward. Any clues anyone, please?

TOK, I have no experience of IE7 but it sounds like the Next feature is operating within a folder rather than within the bundle of pictures which is what you would prefer. Sadly in this case the folder in question is probably the Windows Temporary Files folder and so you will get the next file in the folder which is more likely to be a picture in a web page.

Thanks Kayak. You have described exactly what is happening. Another variant of Hutber's law I fear: Better is worse.

Just before going on hols I ran Registry Booster and in particular its registry defrag facility.

I'd been getting somewhat annoyed at the speed of my laptop and was putting it down to a mix of AVG and Diskeeper.

I was astounded at how much faster the machine ran after using Registry Booster.

Uniblue are now trying to get me to buy http://driveragent.com/

As Uniblue have impressed me with Registry Booster I am tempted. Has anyone ever tried Driveragent?

HI people :>)
OK -wireless.....and routers.
3 specific questions if anyone can help.
Firstly as routers are a whole new ball game for me can someone confirm for me that the firewalls on them are purely to stop others gaining access to your wireless service and wont conflict or interfer with the firewall etc I have on individual computers?

Secondly following on from that can someone confirm that it (firewall on router) wont block stuff coming down the broadband line, thinking of s/b platform etc where its a 2 way flow, info in and info out?

Thirdly I have read some horrific stories of set up nightmares, I've been recommended to get the following router Netgear DG834PN Rangemax MIMO -G ADSL 2/2 + modem router - I want to hard wire a couple of computers as well as use the wireless side, want a firewall etc BUT the comments I have read make it sound incredibly techie to set up - so has anyone used this one and how complex is the set-up for someone not totally IT illiteral but hardly very technical!

Thanks!

The firewall on the router is in addition to that on the individual computers. And will not interact with them.

Normally a firewall only stops incomming traffic, but they can be configurd to stop all (not very usefull) or selected outgoing traffic. If you have created any special rules on the computer firewalls, you may have to duplicate them on the router but this is not often required as the router will not stop anything at program level as some Software systems attempt to.

If any software needs any special access then it is easy to create a rule to allow it. But in most cases you will not have to.

I've not used the router that you mention, but in my experience the Netgear ones are normally amongst the best (bear in mind that all home kit is built down to a price) and easiest to setup.

Start by getting your wired network going, then your ADSL and then your wireless. Make sure you change the deffault passwords and use WPA-PSK encryption for the WiFi.

Edit

If you have used internet conection sharing on any computer that you willuse on the network, you must first make sure that the DHCP server is dissabled.

Thanks Optimist, very helpful and thanks for using 'layperson' and not techie-babble makes it easier for me to understand - cheers :>)))

Got an Acer Aspire T135, AMD Sempron 1.5gb memory with Radeon 9600 128mb AGPx8 and PCI Radeon 9250 128mb 200gb HD, and 3 monitors, plus the rest

Basically I am looking at buying a new PC Base unit, but it needs to be fast enough to play games and still allow me to trade online, between 300-500

At the moment when I try to playing games etc, all my monitors crash so think it must be the to slow as everything is upto date,

or if I can get a graphics card which can handle 2 monitors with DVI with one?

i take it the graphics is AGP,my boy has THIS ONE
i think these old AGP are hard to get nowdays,we play on STEAM CCS everyday and this card does the trick,
for a good gaming unit i think a little more money is need,
this is a top spec gamer unit from overclockers
so maybe a new graphics could be better
