Anyone know of a backup program with versioning?

xp keeps rebooting, cant get into the OS or Safemode

well, the computer was running Kaspersky, but I dont think there was a rescue disk made. If there was, it was really old. Could that still be a help?

xp keeps rebooting, cant get into the OS or Safemode

Not sure actually, nor where to set that, in the bios? its been a working computer for 3 years with no changes, so not sure if this would cause the current issue.

Some links dont work in IE in Win 7

Something happened recently that prevents certain links in IE from working. I then proceeded to upgrade from 8 to 9, and that didnt solve the problem. It seems to do it for links opening up into a different window. Not sure if it is the popup blocker or some security setting. It just started...

Sharing our internet connection through my switch

Thats what I thought, but the vlan allows ports to be in multiple configurations. It did seem to work, but seemed too easy, so I am questioned it. I removed the port for the computer from the default vlan, but not the port for the router. I created a new vlan with the port I deleted from...
