You can also do worse than copying it to an old hard disk and storing it in another building.

Does anybody use McAfee Security Centre?

It's installed an update on 2 PC's this week (I'm waiting for it do the others on the network) and there's now an icon in the system tray that says the computer is not fully protected. When I click on the icon to find out what's wrong it seems to list a load of problems that don't exist and I can't get rid of the icon.

Has anybody else had this?

I had something similar yesterday, Hils - a little eye thingie?
It disappeared when I changed windows before I had a chance to look at it.

A yellow eye with an exclamation mark, Chocopops. I'm glad yours has disappeared, there's hope for me yet.

Told you yesterday I had connection probs with a chart programme whilst McAfee was updating? Still don't know if it was a coincidence, but that's when I noticed it.
Didn't get the connection back until I rebooted.

How do I setup a Netgear wireless USB 2 adapter WPN111 to work on ACER 1350 laptop

I get it to work on the PC's but not when I plug it in to the Laptop, Help

Richgit

You must be logged into the computer as an Administrator, try installing the Netgear drivers before you plug the device in.

I want to upload a sreen grab to the web. How do I do this.

I've worked out how to upload pictures to photobucket but how do I get a screen grab in the first place into a jpeg format.

I am using alt printscreen to grab the screenshot which I can paste into Word or whatever. Then what - I get stuck.

Or is there a much better way of doing with some freeware ?

CC,

I've been using Ultrasnap for ages and it suits me.

TP

I use SceenshotCaptor A bit fiddly but works and is free.

All you need is Microsoft Photo Editor or Paint, which comes with XP and Vista. Paste your captured image into it and then save as a JPEG image.

If you want to do much to the image then the program that TP reommended would be better, as would most other image editors.

ah the wonders of microsoft.

Tried paint earlier but it won\'t let you right click and select paste.

Instead it\'s quite happy if you select edit, paste from the menu.

Cheers

Just do Ctrl-V to pase

Been using http://www.gadwin.com/printscreen/ for years, Cap'n. If I can, anyone can :)

It occurred to me today that it would be nice to have a picture of Dave in the thread header.

Hi Martini

Anyone help with time syncro, please on Windows XP?
Have instructed it (in control panel, 'time & date') to auto time sync with both 'time.windows.com' & 'time.nist.gov', but it often comes back with 'an error occurred when.....etc.' even when I do it manually.
Does anyone know of any other time servers I can try & use or what the problem may be?
One thing I have thought of is that ZoneAlarm may be barring it from accessing the internet, as I am reasonably strict about what I allow access without asking. However, presumably it is a generic .exe file which is trying to access the net for the time, but I don't know which one & therefore may have inadvertently blocked it.
