Sheila,
> What is a "clip lead cable"? Do you buy it someplace special?
Radio Shack or any electronics store has them in kits with various colored
wires. I suppose you could use a length of stranded wire [for flexibility]
connecting one end to the computer case and perhaps wraping the other end
around the vacuum cleaner wand. The idea is just to have conducting path
between the wand and the case [with the cord plugged in so that the case is
grounded electrically] to prevent any build up of static electricity.

What does that mean, did XP get reinstalled? If not then they were not run.
They will only have effect if they reinstall XP, probably by reformatting
the c: partition.

Subject: Real player question
Hello this is my first post.I bought my first computer in
Sept.2005.I've been picking some knowledge up here & there as I go
along.Still pretty much a novice.One problem I haven't been able to
solve is with my realplayer at
http://www.prophecyclub.com/streaming_audio.htm .This site worked fine
the first 2 months then all of a sudden when I clicked the audio or
video links the can't be found page pops in.Maybe 6 or 7 of the links
work.My realplayer works fine everywhere else but here.I called the
site and they said everything is ok on their end.Friends and people on
other groups say they have no problems.Ive uninstalled & installed
realplayer with no results.Ive gone into the tools>properties on real
player to adjust how the realplayer reads a page with no results.Then
all of a sudden 2 weeks ago the site starts working fine.Then after a
windows or webroot spysweeper update the links stopped working
again.It's got to have something to do with the windows or spysweeper
update,but Im not sure how to attack the problem.I do have a firewall
but I acquired it much after the problem began.

Subject: Re: HOWARD PC SHUTS DOWN W/O WARNING!
Howard & Shiela, some questions:
1. Does your PC shut down when you only open certain
programs/tasks/activities but not others? Can you identify which ones?
2. How soon in terms of minutes does it shut down after you turn it on?
3. Does the computer consistently turn off at approximately the same time
right after you turn it on?
4. Does the computer RE-START or just turn off without re-starting? If it
re-starts, maybe you will get some clues from this article:
http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000689.htm
5. Shiela & Howard, which Windows version are you using? This is a very
important information we need to zero in on your problem.
6. Does it shut off while you are using it, or after it has been sitting
untouched for a while?
7. If you open the PC case and aim a running high-powered electric fan at
it while the PC is running, does the problem still persist?
8. Does your PC sit where the sun's rays hit it or is it close to source
of heat? Is it close to a major home appliance? Does the back of your PC
abut the wall with little space in between?
9. Have you tried plugging the PC to another outlet/part of the
house/room that is not associated/connected with the outlet that you are
using now? Move your PC to such a room and observe what happens.
10. Are the cables inside the PC neatly dressed or bunched up and do not
impede proper or continuous air flow?
11. How updated are you antivirus, Ad-Aware, Spybot, SpywareBlaster & MS
Windows Defender? Have you ran them in Safe Mode and see if they detect
anything nasty?
12. Have you ran a memory test to see if this is a memory problem?
13. Is the CPU fan running sluggishly? Compare with a CPU fan in a
working PC and see the diff. Can you hear the purring of the Power Supply
fan? Is the case fan running, if you have one?
14. How dusty is it inside your PC?
15. Are you using an INTEL CPU? Amd?
16. Did you recently install XP's SP2?
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;878474
There are drives that turn themselves off when they get too hot.
If you are using an insufficient power supply (low wattage) and you are
stressing it beyond its limits (due to new hardware, devices, multi-tasking
etc), your PC will reboot or shut down. Your PS wattage rating? Please post
it.
This is a very long thread but be patient in combing for info. You just
might find your solution there:
Computer shuts down randomly
http://shorterlink.com/?3VJ4X0
If you are using Windows XP, this site is superb:
Windows XP Boot Problems & Edits
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/win_xp_restart.htm
The list of causes causing random shutdowns is pretty long as you can see.
We need more info to go on.

Hi,
My sister's puter would shut down w/o warning...it turned out that the
(ps) power suppy's cooling fans/ducts were clogged with dirt and
dust...causing the ps to over heat and shut down. She had this problem for
over six months but cleaning the fans fixed the problem for good !! I hope
this info helps....

How can I diagnose or find out why my computer shuts down suddenly
without warning and restarts?
It is an aggravation to say the least because all open pages are then
closed and I have to find my way back to them through history.
I do recall that Firefox has an extension that allows you to continue
your session but can't recall the name of it or which section to look
through to locate it.
The main thing is whats causing the shutdown/restart thingy.
Would doing a HiJack this Log be of any help and if so, does anyone here
know how to or what to do with the log?
Any ideas or free diagnostic tools would really be appreciated!
Thanks In Advance,
Sheila

Is the RealPlayer the problem here or Internet browser. You mentioned
"can't be found page pops in". Are you saying that you are getting "The
page cannot be found." error message when you click on those video links at
the page you posted? Can you replicate the problem in Opera or Firefox?
Check your file associations: In Windows Explorer>Tools>Folder
Options>File
Types. Look for the Real Player entries.
*If* you disable you're firewall (20 seconds won't hurt) do you still have
the problem? You don't need to disable your, just punch holes in it for
certain protocols.

By the way.
When the puter does run,running any program,including Zone alarm,causes
the puter to shut down and reboot.
Antivirus programs ,same thing.

Well, they can tell you anything since you will not give them your
business. I am always suspicious when people blame computer problems on a
virus. At leas if the user has Anti Virus software. In this case I'd guess
that they just want to scare you into using their service.
Here's a solution that may not solve the problem but definitely will
eliimate a virus as the problem. Run your emergency rescue disks [or choose
the factory restore option if you have no disks, they have put the rescue
files on a separeate partition for the past few years to save the cost of
the disk. If you have a cd or dvd burner you can create rescue disk(s)
strongly recommended in case you have a bad crash that won't allow you to
get to the on board rescue.
Of course you need to back up any files created since you got the
computer AND you will also need to reinstall any programs installed since
then.

I think the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility from Microsoft maybe able to

There were two versions of the Windows Installer Clean Up Utility:

If it is a heat problem, and it most likely is, it could arise from
numerous causes. The power supply could be a culprit OR just the fan on
the power supply. There could be dust/hair/etc. clogging the
ventilation holes. A case fan could be failing. The ribbon cables for
the drives could be fully blocking airflow. The fan blade could be
slipping on the shaft making it appear the fan is running but not giving
optimum airflow. The computer may be in a place where the hot air can't
get away because it is enclosed in a cabinet or too close to where the
fans exhaust. Sometimes, in rare cases, there can be stress cracks on
the motherboard or other cards that only show up when the computer gets
warm.
A computer that runs hot can have several of these problems in small
doses, causing the machine to get hot, but not showing you any one thing
that stands out as the cause. Some computers, via poor design, don't
have the ventilation and the fans arranged in such a way that the air
blows across the hot parts.
Don't look in just one place for heat problems, because the symptoms
indicate this is what you have. Imbedded virus? Hehehe. Not likely or
even probable.

I think the likelihood of having a disaster using the vaccuum as opposed to
using compressed air is much more. I understand Jim's concerns though. You
can also use a straw and blow air at a specific part of the computer where
dust is concentrated. Remember, blow air and not suck it in...hehe

Sheila, you can use brush on anything non-electronics like the fan, or the
power supply enclosure but do not use brush on electronic components like
the memory or the motherboard which may contain static-sensitive chips.
Brushes do produce static electricity.

Casper,
How would I know what not or to use the brush on?
Do you mean on any metal little things but ok on case and fan area?
What about on the heatsink?
Sorry, I am just a dummy about opening this thing up. I do prefer the

Casper,
>OH NO!! You cannot use a brush NOR a vacuum.
Actually it is not automatically a bad thing to use a vacuum cleaner. Nor
is
a small paint brush bad. In fact they can be used quite effectivly
together.
Use a non metalic crevass tool and a small 1" paint brush. Carefullly
brush
the components with the brush while holding the cravass too close but not
touching any componente. The fans and other non delicate areas can be
vacuumed directly but may also need the paint brush.

Does anyone know anything about this product?
The Link is: http://winantivirus.com/?aid=ms_ad&lid=firewall
if anyone does know, would you let me know if it is good or bad and
simple to use?
I am desparate folks, I have no anti-virus or firewall, except window,
downloading Kerio though.
Every second I am on here it scares me to death!

There were two versions of the Windows Installer Clean Up Utility:
Msicu.exe - for Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows 98
Msicuu.exe - for Windows NT. This version works correctly in ALL 32-bit
versions of
Windows.

This is very cool!
Small and doesn't mess with anything else.
"Do you find it hard to locate your cursor, and mark the insertion

love Vippy, the mouse pointer you can't lose, because it's red. The
difference is clear."
It's easy to install and uninstall, works for all Windows applications,
and it's free.
Author has other MS Office/Word add-ons that look interesting(not free).
