Thanks for reply Sniper. No there is no disk drive on AcerAspireOne D260-A. I am sure there are instructions on returning to 'factory condition' but we moved house recently and cannot find the user manual.

I have been very pleased with my Acer Aspire One Netbook but now wish to upgrade to laptop and hopefully sell the netbook. Please can somebody explain how I can clear all my information whilst leaving XP installed - so that it is in 'factory condition' for a prospective buyer. Thanks

Is this a virus or something that should be on my computer? I have googled but cannot find any information - hoped somebody on HF might be able to help whssvc.exe Sygate firewall keeps telling me it is blocked. Thanks

"BTW: i will try to make the stuff i posted easier to understand" Gee thanks Donkey - simple words I can understand :doh: "I thought I would try one more time to sort this computer out before dumping it and buying a new one. ... .....as it works OK (at the moment) and to date I have no signs...

Impy My connection is by Speedtouch 330 Modem USB ADSL PPP - if that is what you are asking? I also have a Huawei Smartax modem and think I will change to that as I find it has it's own firewall. BUT I thought I would try one more time to sort this computer out before dumping it and...

Sounds good Donkey. I was googling Linux and found YouTube videos showing how to install Ubuntu- which is going to be very helpful. :D I shall now have a browse through the Linux section on HF.

I have been watching this discussion with interest and would like to add a few comments. If they are off topic then Admin please delete. I am mostly self-taught on computer and have set-up and now run my own forum, and am also a moderator on a larger forum (for about two years). I do not...

Once again, thanks. I now use Firefox - thanks for that advice, Impotence. I also found that on 'TalkTalk Assist and Go' IP can be changed as often as required - just one click and it changes so that is useful. I still have two viruses/spyware to delete and just can't seem to get rid of them...

Can I change or hide my IP address? I am thinking of doing this as I am still getting trojans now and again and viruses. I wondered if changing or hiding my IP address would stop this happening although it's a lot better since I have installed XoftSpySE if I do frequent scans. If...

"NEVER use the net from Windoze without a bl**dy good firewall" Would you believe I finally found my windows firewall - and it was DISABLED!! I could not believe a professional IT person would set up a computer and leave the firewall turned OFF! No wonder I have been having so many...

About my mouse.... and about FIREWALL Still having problems as the IT man restored some of my files and I still have Trojans - grrrrr! I trusted him to only replace files that he had checked as ok! That brings me back to your question Donkey - "which firewall" so I checked and can find...

Thanks for replies. I have no problem now :eek: as my computer crashed - DoubleClick virus being the problem! It had to be completely cleared and rebooted - cost me £90!!! :(

Hi I have a small problem with my mouse that is not serious - just annoying me! When I click to log on to my forum it shows a different name to my present user name and I just can't find out how to remove it. I have tried 'delete' and tried highlighting and 'cut' I have tried just...

D42 Your explanation was excellent - must have been as I made a hyperlink at last!!! Thank you all for your help. I shall doubtless be here again when there is something else I need to know :doh: Have a nice day everybody!

This is my website : www.alanpricefansforum.org.uk and I would like to post a message on my forum saying see the official website - probably using 'official website' as the link. and this is the official website to link to: Alan Price Online | The Official Site does that...

I would like to link another forum to my forum with a hyperlink. I have no idea how to do this. I have googled for instructions but nothing seems to work. Please can anybody tell me where I can find simple step by step instructions ? :confused: THANKS

Thanks people - I was trying to do it the short way and that's why I didn't succeed. When I started again from scratch (if you'll pardon the pun) I managed to do it no probs. Have a nice day :)

More help required please. I have recorded vinyl to a CD which was ok but when I put the stylus down to start recording I sort of scratched it across and made an awful sound - woops! Apart from this the CD sounds good. But I have tried to edit this first little bit out with Nero...

But of course, silly me. I thought I could just click a 'delete' button somewhere but will contact host. Thanks RHochstenbach

I have just signed on and started a forum with a freehosting but I find it is not what I want. Is there a way to delete or uninstall this or do I just remove all my information from it and leave it? I am sure I read somewhere that there is a site that will delete it for you - anybody...
