I'm not sure if this is the right forum for my problem, if not, perhaps someone can direct to a more appropriate one? I've been having a problem with static noise - it comes out of the speakers. If I shut off the speaker, no problem, but that's not a solution. The static occurs frequently, but I can't link it to any screen action. Sometimes I'll be in another room, not having used...

I have XP and use dial-up. Beginning a few days ago, whenever I connect to my ISP, Windows gets locked up for a long time and when I do get online eventually it can again lock up the browser. What is happening is svchost.exe, the DNS Client service one, takes up to 99% of my CPU as soon as I connect, and keeps it there. Then when the browser (Avant) does get opened, the browser ...

Hello (Apologies for crosspost, I do not know where to post it. Searched something similar without result.) I'm new to EFS. I would understand how to use it and to expect from it. I have read many sites and many theory but not much I have found in practice. I have done the following things. I have crypted some files using the property tab of a directory. After, I have ...
