It is not even noon here and I have already gotten two calls. I have punched the numbers in and asked them to please stop and my husband is ill, and can't stand the noise of the phone all of the time. That just made things worse. Have reported it to "Do not call", no help there. Has anyone been able to get her stopped?

I have a compaq Presario, that is about a year and a half old now. From day one, it will boot up and be locked up. The only way to boot it is to turn it off by the button and try again, sometimes takes 3 times. Right now, I am just leaving it on all of the time and just log off. I sent it back to HP, they restored it to out of the box condition. I set it up again, and it did the same thing. I then purchased an extended warranty from Best Buy and took it back to them. The had it for about 3 days, scanned and checked and the only thing they found was a patch from HP that I didn't get on it. Brought it home, it was ok for a couple of months, then started again. Now it is to the point where I am afraid to shut it down, afraid I cannot get it to boot again. I am going to take it back to Best Buy again, but in the meantime, does anyone have any idea what this could be, or have one with a similar problem with the same computer. Alt+C trl+delete has never worked on this computer.

Do they pay income tax on the profit that they make on parts?? I had a plumber, who doubled the price of a faucet, plus charged me $70.00 for one that I had bought myself, plus labor. (I caught him, and corrected that). My husband was going to do some work on a classic car that he has, checked the price at the parts store, decided he wasn't able to do the work himself anymore, so took it to a garage. When he got the bill, the same parts that he had priced, were charged 100% more and several much more. Do they pay income tax on their profit on the parts?? OK plumbers, auto mechanics and repairmen, jump on me if you like, but you know what I am talking about.

I am using Kaspersky anti-virus 2011, it says it will remove adware, but has only removed 8. I use to use Ad-aware on my XP, and it would take out that many in a day. Is there an Ad-aware that would be compatible with this anti-virus, and the windows 7, 64 bit. If so what version should I download and use. Thanks.

When I got a new computer it was set for our local news, but now it has Chicago. I would do this on my old computer too, change to all over the country. I put the question in my browser and found a page to ask the question. I went through the form filling it out and came to the end, and it said "pay $38.00 if you are satisfied with the answer". Are they kidding? Guess I can always change my home page. Anyone have any suggestions?

My computer was hit by lightning. I saw it, just come out of the blue, hit on our hillside. It blew my Modem and computer. The phone company came out, first thing he checked was the surge protector, he said it was bad. He then checked my modem and computer, all bad. BELKIN told me to send the surge protector back and they would check it. Well, they are saying there was nothing wrong with it, and they were not going to honor their warranty. They told me to get a statement from the telephone man was here, well I tried but the phone co. cannot provide that information. In the meantime, I spent $200. for a new hard drive, but the computer kept shutting down after 10 min, so had to go buy a new one. Isn't the job of a surge protector to blow, instead of letting the surge or lightning in this case through? I still have the box, it says protects against lightning, right on the box. Anyone out there had the same experience with this company, and have any suggestions. I have told them that I am going to report them to our Att. General of our state, and the BBB. Doesn't seem to affect their decision. I bought it when buying a new computer, at the advice of a computer technician. Saying it would blow and protect the computer.

My computer was hit by that terrible virus from China. It had to be reformatted, I always used power point viewer 2003, now I can't get that or the 2007 version to open when emailed a presentation. Can you tell me the answer to this one? Thanks.

I personally think, he should be reading the health bill page by page, and the Bible. What is your thinking?

Have had problems with our Water Boss since we had a 5 day power outage. We cleaned part of the head and it does seem better. Had the water tested after cleaning the resin tank, and it tested 6 gr. hardness, no iron. Straight from the well, it tests 12 grains of hardness, plus iron. What is the usual testing reading when going through a softener? Should it be zero? Or do you think the whole head needs to be serviced. We had a sticking piston in the brine housing. Anyone familiar with a Water Boss, would appreciate an answer to my question.

It has 77K, isn't driven that much. I am original owner. Had it repaired, but the part was defective and fouled again, in 2 weeks. They replaced the part. That was 2 years ago. My brother in law, said something about a trottle injector but not sure that was the exact word he used. My husband put higher octane gas in it, which didn't help all that much. I know, I need a new car, but this one still looks good. Anyone have any ideas. My husband is just coming off of chemo and doesn't feel like being a mechanic right now. I need some advice from some good mechanics out there, before I take it to the garage for a check up first. Thanks guys!

It shows up when I run A2, scan. I have searched and searched and never found a firm answer. Is it dangerous? If so, how do I get completely rid of it. Is A2 a spy itself? It always says "A2". A2 is the only program that I have found that will detect a trojan horse. Any any better? Thanks.

What causes an O ring to go bad quicker on a faucet. Turning the handle tight, to shut off or turning it off easy? I am being blamed when an O ring goes bad, because I don't have the strength in my hands to turn it off like you would with a pipe wrench. I just put enough pressure on it to stop the water. My husband argues and says I should turn it off really hard. I have always heard that turning it off really tight is what ruins the O rings. Who is right. Thanks

When my computer updated last week, I kept getting a failure on Powerpoint viewer 2003, then discovered, I had powerpoint viewer 1997, downloaded. So installed the 2003, but it still will not update. Every time I shut down, it tries to update, but fails. What could be my problem?

Also, how do I remove all of those failure notices out of my update history. I removed the 1997 version, then could not find a reputable site to download it again, so did a restore on my computer to put it back on. I installed the powerpoint viewer 2007, but it wouldn't read the presentations that I already have in my computer. I got a notice to install Open Office, but didn't install that. Should I have done that? Thanks.

My husband is undergoing treatment for Muliple Myeloma. He is on the Thal-Dex treatment, along with Aredia. If anyone has had the experience or caregivers out there, please tell me, how often were blood work up's done, how did the treatments go. What were the side effects. Tell me what you know.

This tank will go 2 days without heating, but it now will heat, then kick out the breaker. If the water is hot, and you push the breaker back in, it will kick right back out. Plumbers, electricians, any suggestions?

I have pecan cabinets in my kitchen, and bathroom. They need a good cleaning and restored to their original sheen. The video on the site, looks good. Sure would be a lot cheaper than having a professional in. Has anyone tried it, and if so, does it work as well as the video shows. Thanks.

I thought it was the handle, not actually turning the hot water on, but don't think that is the problem. It will turn on, then make a "bump" like a water hammer sound, then the water stops flowing. Could that be the valve "thing" down inside the faucet that needs replaced or cleaned? It's the faucet that we use all of the time. Thankfully, we have a double vanity in the bathroom and just started using the other washbowl, but would like some advice, before my husband starts to fix it. We plan on changing all of the faucet handles on the double vanity. Just wondering what we will find, when we take that one faucet handle off. Thanks.

Almost everytime I go to Internet explorer, I get this error notice, "Internet Explorer has encountered an error and must close", I click "debug" and then can open Explorer. Anyone else having this problem? If so, what's the fix?

How much is the usual price to replace the lost key and how to tell if it is a coded key or not. Have the spare set, lost the one ignition key. Do you have to go to a dealer, or can you buy them someplace else.
