Netopia login problem

I have a Netopia 3000 wireless router and a Win XP machine. Nothing exotic about the setup. Just a single desktop machine. I've had the router for a couple years. The past year or so I have had intermittent issues with certain web pages. I will get a blank page and a login window that refers to...

PDF Editing

Yes....I know it would be easy to ask the professor, but these folks aren't your typical university professors....long story, and I won't bore you with details. When asked, they usually say 'ok'....and we never get anything.......so, I've learned that's not an option, and if it were, I wouldn't...

PDF Editing

Hardware issue....no cable installed error??

Ok....good to know about the RAM, thanks. Actually the write caching is already set on the drive. I did not know that one, thanks (again). The slowness starts right at boot-up. The whole system is about half as fast as it was when all this happened. It's like someone flipped a switch and...

Hi All... I'm having what I THINK is a hardware issue. At first I thought it was a virus (or whatever). I have scanned and scanned and scanned my system. I have a resident, active antivirus program that is updated at least once a day (AVG), and I have several others I use to run scans anytime...

How do I convert images on paint to black and white

Here's my only suggestion. I don't think Paint can do this on its own. You can download another very well-known and useful program called IrfanView: IrfanView It's free, it's a media player essentially. It's not loaded with spam or junk, and it's easy to use. I KNOW it works for what you...
