    NOD32 update issue

    Okay, clean install of WinXP pro, decided not to install NAV 2005 but instead NOD32 after reading all the favorable comments in these forums. I had it installed for a few days before I re-formatted, did not have any problems. Now, I have 25 days left in the trial version but it is having...

    Hopefully, though I have heard that cable tends to slow down at peak usage times. Oh, and I have SAT TV, so my local cable provider charges an extra $10 a month because I don't have basic cable. Our cable companies up here in Canada have area monopolies; I don't have a choice of supplier. Thanks...

    Hey IceDigger, why would you say the problem is on their end in regards to dropping packets? Just so I have some way of talking with them as I am in over my head- mind you, I think I could say the same of their tech support.

    2nd printer issue

    Ya, I understand the purpose of the icon; with my dig. camera etc.. but what I was getting at is that it is a printer, not a device which I'll be constantly re-connecting. I have the "hide inactive icons" box unchecked, so that fix doesn't work for me. I know its a minor thing to be bitching...

    You know, if the HD is dying, I am going to be rather angry. The bloody thing is only 4 months old. I guess after the 1st WD went sour after only 2 yrs, I really should have purchased a different brand.
