I am a college teacher and researching on various subjects and also working on different projects with students. I need to carry lots of data and that’s why I bought a Maxtor 100 GB USB 2.0 external hard drive. It was fine and I have never experienced any problem in data transfer. But data transfer is getting slower day by day. I can easily transfer data from the external hard drive to my desktop storage but when I try to copy data from another storage device to into external drive only then it works slowly.

I have formatted the drive but getting the same result. Warranty period has gone that’s why I need your valuable help.

Hi Dear,

I am here to share my problem and hoping to get the perfect solution. Recently my HP Pavilion notebook was infected by a dangerous Trojan horse virus and causing many problems. But I was successful to remove the virus by using Kaspersky Anti Virus 11.0.1.400 version and every program was running fine except Internet connection. I am using a wired DSL connection which is running on Windows XP. I have checked the local area connection and it says connected. By checking the LAN properties I have found that data sending is ok but receiving is showing ‘0’. Somebody please help me.

Thanks in advance for the response.

Hi,

I am relatively a new pc user and only using pc to maintain some official documents of my business and internet browsing.

I am not running too many software in my pc and only using it for about 5-6 hours in a week. But for the last couple of days I am getting very slow pc performance and a message is showing on the taskbar that virtual memory is very low Windows is increasing the size of the virtual memory.

Windows – Virtual Memory Minimum Too Low

Hello! Everyone,

I have a problem with my Antivirus program. I hope somebody can help me. My computer is running on Windows Vista SP2. My HDD is 40GB, 2.0GHz. Even though my HDD is only 40GB, I do not have much files in my computer as well as applications because I am using my computer mostly on the internet. Now, my Antivirus software is McAfee.

At first, I thought my browser is what makes my computer slow. so, I cleared cache, cookies, files and histories on my internet options. Unfortunately, the same slow connection persisted. Then I decided to check my "Task manager". That’s when I realized that McAfee consumes a lot of memory in my active processes.

I am working in a small office and using a printer shared by 7 users. I have been using this shared service for over three months but never seen this type of problem. But I can’t find the network printer on my printer list.

I have by uninstalling the printer driver and then reinstall it again. Eventually I found the printer but after printing command I am getting the message “Access is Denied”. Every other users on the network having no problem except me. I have also checked the connection with server PC and everything is ok. What’s wrong with my pc?  

At first I am giving you a snapshot about my pc:

1. I have got Samsung 120 GB hard disk on my pc and more then 12 GB has been allocated to drive C.

2. I am running Windows XP Service pack 3.

3. I have installed only few software and as a whole it take around 5 GB place in C drive.

4. I am using my pc as a print server and more then ten users are sharing my printer.

After three months of clean service, from last week I am seeing a message that disk space is very low on drive C every time I start the pc. But I have never installed any kind of software on drive C. I have manually checked the drive but unable to find any extra files.

Do you have any solution of this strange looking problem?

I have never experienced this type of problem before. My internet explorer is opening automatically time and time again. Basically I am using Firefox 3.6.17 and use Internet Explorer occasionally. I guess this is happening for virus attack and checked every drive by kaspersky antivirus and it is a licensed version.

But not getting any virus and nothing has changed. I can’t uninstall internet explorer because I need to use it to open and print some special PDF format documents which is not compatible to any other web browser. I have also searched on the internet for the solution but unable to find it.

I found this site very helpful and hope there will be a solution.

This is so weird guys, no way I can escape this little yet frustrating problem.

I am running Windows XP on my Acer TravelMate 5542. But the disk checking window appears on each and every Windows starting.

Checking file system on C:

The type of the file system is NTFS.

One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue.

To skip disk checking, press any key within 7 second(s).

I have a bunch of Microsoft Works(.wps) files that need to transfer as a .doc or .docx file.  But I don’t know how to properly do this.

A site says I have to download wp6rtf.exe, but I found a trial version only.

This is a converter that enables Microsoft Word to view .wps files. I am using Microsoft Works 4.0 and I will be transferring the files into my Microsoft Word 2007. When I tried converting the file, it looks strange.  It seems that the converting process is not successful. 

I am an IT professional and can solve the common hardware or software issue. Very often my friends come to me with various types of problem and so far I have satisfied all of them more or less. But in this case I can’t find any solution.

Yesterday one of my friend came to me and told me that he forget the login password of his Compaq notebook which is running on Windows XP. I have tried to enter as administrator but it is also protected by password. I don’t know any other option to access the OS. Please help me in this regard. Is there any utility software available to unlock the windows login password?
