Torrenting on a college network

My college recently caught me using uTorrent and blocked me from the campus-wide wireless network. After I was blocked, I changed my MAC address, which I thought would solve the problem, but it didn't. I went to the network admin yesterday and got her to unblock me, but if I get caught again...

Vista's dead (at least this copy)

OK, here's a status update. I called Dell, and they walked me through using Dell's built in diagnostics to scan the HD for errors (it's very convenient they've got that programmed in there, and a good thing too since the Toshiba and subsequently the Dell HD diagnostics couldn't load for some...

Vista's dead (at least this copy)

Sorry, I was in a rush this morning and missed your question. I don't think I can use UBCD because it requires an XP disc, which I don't have. The manifest for my laptop says "HD,250G,S2,9.5, 5.4K,TSHBA-LEO", which I assume means it has a Toshiba HD. I burned the Dos version Toshiba's diagnostic...

Vista's dead (at least this copy)

I had a lot of programs open on my Dell XPS m1330 notebook yesterday, and one of Adobe's programs (probably Acrobat) was installing an update (I'm not sure if that's relevant, but it's the only readily apparent reason I can think of for this to happen all of sudden). The system stopped...

How to make an exception for AVG antivirus

I have a couple of programs on my computer right now that I know for a fact are NOT viruses, but AVG thinks they are and won't let me use them, and whenever I restore them from the virus vault, it instantly redetects them and again makes the programs unusable even if I click "ignore". Is there...

Groove not synchronizing

I've been MS Office Groove 2007 for a while to synchronize to folders of mine, and up until now it's been going fine, but now the files in one of the two folders don't automatically download to the computer. When I try to manually download them, I'm prompted if I really want to download this...

How best to sync music and files over multiple computers

I have a desktop and I'm currently in the process of buying a laptop. I'd like to be able to keep my 50GB music collection and files synchronized across the two computers automatically. Of course when I first get the laptop I'll transfer at very least the music via DVD-DLs, but after that I...

Two wireless antennae

No that's the thing, they wouldn't be. Although come to think of it, I've got an old router lying around, what do you think would happen if I hooked it up to my current router and then had them both transmit wirelessly? Would there be any kind of speed increase?

Two wireless antennae

The motherboard that I?ve got is an Asus P5W DH Deluxe, and it comes with a wireless antenna built in. Recently though I got a new router, the Belkin Pre-N, and a new wireless card to go along with it since everyone said you really needed both of them to really unlock the potential of the...

0x7B stopscreen while installing Vista

Well, I did my best to try all your guy's suggestions, but it still wasn't working, so I decided to do a clean install. It worked perfectly. Lesson learned: never expect results from the upgrade method. Thanks for all your help!

0x7B stopscreen while installing Vista

I few days ago I got my copy of Vista, and immediately started installing it. All went well until the first reboot at which point I got a 0x7B stop screen error, which according to Microsoft means the boot drive's not accessible. Google has a lot of records of people having this problem...

Wireless gaming

NOTE: Sorry about the repeat post, my wacky internet connection made it seem that the message wasn't posted the first time, so I tried it again. Could an admin delete one of the threads? EDIT: If possible make it this thread, please?
