Got it from Microsoft's web site. That's what is confusing to me. I wouldn't attempt to get it from one of the P2P sites.

I downloaded the IE7 Beta 2 and started the install. I gets about halfway and pops up that there is a .dll file missing. It then stops and says it could not install. Has anyone else had this problem? How can I fix it? Thanks!

That was kindof my thinking too...I asked Level 2 tech back in Jan when I had him on the phone about the difference between 6000 & 7000; he said wasn't much difference. The installer that came out & checked my equipment last week said the same thing. Think I'll stay with what I've got for now unless I decide to switch to WB.

I haven't made the switch yet. Still trying to decide if it is any better.

May try that too....right now I'm about ready to try anything to keep this from happening again. I may look at Kaspersky too. Thanks for all your help.

I checked to be sure & was right; the Guest acct was already turned off. Got another question...you said you used to use PC-Cillin...what do you use now? I'm getting a little leary of the program. I've done a couple online scans for viruses along with PC-Cillin. Symantec didn't find anything. Went to Bit Defender & it found a backdoor trojan called Trojan.Click.337 & removed it. Just wondered what program you use. I've also looked at Zone Alarm too.

I did check the settings you mention. It listed two....one was my name/Administrator and the other was my name/Owner. Should both be there or should I remove one of them?

Mine is the only User Acct on the computer. This has truly got me baffled. I had someone to suggest to me to let the computer boot off the XP Pro CD and try to do a repair. Would that get rid of all the updates the have been downloaded since installation or would it just attempt to repair any problems? I just recently installed the new PC-cillin 2006 Security Suite. I didn't have the problem till after installation. The first one came the day after installation. I'm beginning to think I may need a different program.

Does it make any difference that my ISP is Direcway? Seems I read somewhere that the ports will show as being open but only because it is reading Dway instead of my computer. Is that how it works?

I went to that link & ran the scan. I shows all the ports as being "filtered?". Is that how they should be?

How do I go about checking for open ports?? Sorry if that's a dumb question but not sure about how to do that.

Over the last couple weeks I've had a problem to happen twice to me when logging on to Windows XP Pro. When I type in my password it rejects it. After several attempts it lets me log onto windows but my User Acct is missing. I can go back to a previous restore point & things are ok. About a week or so after the 1st time it did it again. I rebooted the computer & it took me into windows but again, my User Acct was missing. I went back to restore point again & all was well. What is causing this?? I've run virus scans; I've run spyware scans with nothing being found. Is this virus related or program related or something I'm just doing wrong?? Has anyone got any help???

Will doing that change anything on my computer or will it just attempt to repair the program? Also would it remove all the udates that have been added?

I sure do.

Over the last couple of weeks I've had the same problem twice. I'm running Windows XP Pro w/SP2. When I reboot my computer & come to my logon screen; I type my logon password but it says it's the wrong password; after several attempts or rebooting again it opens in windows but all my personal stuff is gone. My account is no longer on the computer. What I've had to do then is to go back to a restore point & restore my computer to the previous day or so. Then everything is back to normal. What is causing this problem??? : It has happened twice now & is very frustrating. I'm running virus protection & firewall that are up to date. Is this a Windows problem or is it a virus of some type? Thanks for any help!!!

I purchased recently the PC-cillin Internet Security 2006 version & I'm not sure if I like it. Just wondering what are some of the better programs out there that is being used. I guess I'm stuck with what I have for the time being though. Let me know your thoughts!

Never thought about that.....you are right. Well, maybe they'll give me a pretty good option other than where I am now. Thanks for the input.

I guess the question is kind of an oxymoron....I wouldn't have Dway at all if something else was available but it's not. It is better than dial up most of the time anyway. Being that what it is I just wonder if I can switch from Satmex 5 what the best sat would be to go to.

After nearly two months of slow speeds; going thru all the channels of support; talking to level 3 & finally placed in engineering hands I was contacted by a local installer who is coming out in a couple days sent by Dway (billed to Dway) to check out my problem. My speeds for over a month were good in the morning but dial up speeds at nite. Last couple weeks they've been somewhat better. With these guys coming out they are going to check out my system & equipment. I'm presently on Satmex 5 at 117 W 970 MHz. If I have the option of a repoint my question is which a better sat to be pointed to? I don't want to be repointed to more problems. Any help is appreciated.

My signal strength is usually 75 or 76 here in NC.

Probably about 1/2 way into it. If I keep having problems I'm going to press for it again but doubt I'll get it again.

I had trouble once before & contacted billing & they gave me a credit for one month. I about ready to call them again since my problem too has gone on for nearly a month now. I'm not holding my breathe though about things improving much. Also the problem I had before ended up getting me switched to a different sat. That's when they put me on Satmex5 telling me it was much less crowded; well, maybe before they oversold on that one too.

Been going thru the exact same problem for the same time (about the middle of Dec).

Thanks! I bypassed my router but it didn't change the test.

Once I download Cablenut do I just open that file in it? I'm going to have to get off the computer shortly. I'll download the program & if you could tell me what to do after that; I'll check the board & follow your instructions to give it a try. Thanks for all your help.

What do I use to open the file?
