I want to cancel Computer Associates security package from my computer. How do I do this?

If you installed the CA security package, you can simply go to the Control Panel to Add or Remove Programs and remove it. Sometimes the technique for removing an anti-virus package is more complicated than the usual procedure, so make sure you follow the directions.





If you're trying to remove the CA package installed by your work or school IT department because it's blocking you from accessing certain websites, talk to your IT department rep.

Does anyone have knowledge with shipping a computer on a plane?

Hi I'm looking to ship my computer out during flight. I know how to package it and stuff, but I was wondering what process this all goes though? I already have 2 suitcases ad would it be an extra charge to have them personally ship it with me or is it a different catagory?|||You could be charged for extra baggage. the airlines allow you carry on luggage and so many checked bags. Usually you get one free check and are charged for the others and to avoid being over the weight limit check with the airline you intend to fly with to see what guidelines they have for baggage. It may be cheaper to ship your computer and some of your luggage. It is best to call the airlines and know what the charges will be ahead of time so there are no surprises and no time for alternative methods. Also, will they insure the computer for loss or damage. Another question to ask.

How to remove obnoxious plastic packaging ?

second, you should have the original dvd or a kidden recovery partition on your system if it's a retail computer.

How do you save a flash game onto your computer so that you can play it without connecting to the internet?

My connection is a real pain in the neck. Whenever I try to play a flash game online, it gets stuck. Is it possible to play these games offline on our computer? I don't have macromedia flash package but i have the adobe flash player. is it possible to download these games and play them without connecting to the internet?|||use Firefox and browse to the page that has the game on it. Right click on the page (not the game) and click "show page content" or something like that. It will come up with a window. Scroll down till you find the game (it may look weird, it should say "embed" and end in .swf.


Click on that, then click "save as" or "download" or something in the bottom of the screen, and your done!





Please vote as best :)|||Using Firefox browser is easy as it allows you to download 'add-ons' just for just this type of thing. Do a search for FireFox add-ons then search the add-ons section for Flash Video Downloader.





Once installed (needs a restart) - a blue arrow should appear at the bottom right of your screen. Click this and it will ask you where to save it. It may show several files, just choose the one that resembles the name of your game. Remember this location and make sure you open that file with Firefox again.





The game should now work whether you're online or offline. Some Flash developers have got smart to this though - and certain games can only ever be run from the website. If the game does not play, this could be the reason, however you should try right click on the the game and select play.

However some companies are worst then others.

Also gaming quality laptops are often built to more rugged standards with both the Dell XPS M1730 and the Dell/Alienware m15x having very solid construction and will cost less than the E6400

thanks|||You have not provided enough information...





If the camcorder uses miniDV or Digital8 tape, it uses the DV port (this is a 4-pin) and connects to the firewire port (not USB) of your computer. If you don't have a firewire port, install one. The port installed on the computer will be most likely 6-pin... but can be 4-pin. It depends what you have or decide to install. You need firewire400 (Also known as i.Link or IEEE1394a). USB will only be used for web streaming (if the camcorder has the feature) or for transferring stills.





If the camcorder is hard drive or flash memory based, it should mount using USB and appear as a USB mass storage device. If it does not, you need to install the drivers available on the CD in the box or download from Sony.





If the camcorder is DVD based, you will need to have a drawer loading DVD drive on your computer and you will rip the DVD with something like HandBrake.





If the camcorder is analog (hi8), you will need to get a Analog/Digital bridge from Pinnacle or Canopus.





If the camera is for taking stills and happens to take highly compressed videos, take the memory card out of the camera and use a card reader to transfer the videos to the computer.|||Trying to get your video into the computer? read my guide for tips on doing that here...

I'm guessing I need to purchase this code or the entire package. What the most cost effective way to do this?|||This is the code that you need to activate your software.





You can get a trial code free of charge for 3 months. I think there is a link in that box asking for a code that you can request a trial code. Just go there and get a code I think you have to have a hotmail account also which you can create in 2 minutes.|||Good guess.|||Forget that stupid Microsoft rip-off.





Get Open Office, a FREEWARE program that does everything Excel does, and can open/edit Excel files for you.





I highly recommend it.|||OK I don't think your stupid enough to think that anybody reading this is going to put that here.





So let's make a jump and figure maybe you would like to be open MS files or use an Excel spreadsheet.





You can dl openoffice and use it for free which would solve any legitimate reason for asking this question.

Mine was on a card with the code, on the back side of the card on a yellow sticker. If not, then you could download the free OpenOffice program and use it at www.openoffice.org . It works for Microsoft Office formats and other formats. It even exports into a .pdf file format. Great program.

Why has my computer slowed down over the years?

I am a casual user. I use my computer for email, websurfing and I have a 3D design package on it. The computer is 4yrs old. What is happening to make my computer slow down over time? It is a Compaq desk top with cable internet. When I first got the computer it was fast. I have MacFee premium and use adaware software, no threats detected. Please answer this as if I am ignorant of how computers work, becasue I am. Thank-you.|||It could be that there are programs on your computer that are slowing it down.

Also, you need to run the defragmentation program ever so often to help the PC 'organize' files together instead of having fragments of info here, there and everywhere on the hard disc that forces the PC to hunt all over to bring up a file...this is especially true the more you create, modify, delete and download data.

Whatever you may do, a computer will get slower if it goes on running unformatted for more than a year. Still, some basic tips to speed up your computer may be found here:


http://pctonic.blogspot.com/2007/02/spee鈥?/a>|||Over time your computer (blame Windows!!) adds more and more files and updates. Most of these get stored away in old temporary folders that your computer forgets about. That is why your computer is slowing down. Think of it as never changing the oil in your car. The engine gets build-up and crap in it and your performance begins to degrade. With a computer it's sometimes necessary to to backup all of your programs and files onto an external hard drive and reinstall Windows. This can take many hours to do and is a big pain. A computer repair shop could do it for you if you want to go that route.





In the meantime, here some things that you could do without having to do a clean reinstallation.





To speed up your computer try this:





1. Start%26gt; Run%26gt; type: msconfig


2. Click "Startup"


3. Disable any program that absolutely DOES NOT have to startup when you first turn on your computer. Quicktime and RealPlayer are the number one culprits. They do not need to be running when you start your computer. You can start them when you need them. Make sure that you only disable the programs/apps that you are sure of. System32 files need to be running.





4. Download Ad-Aware SE (freeware) and use it to remove spyware. Spyware slows your computer waaaaaay down.





5. Use your anti-virus software to ensure your computer is clean. www.avast.com has an awesome FREE antivirus programs that kicks a** and uses far less resources than MacAfee and WAY less than Norton. PCWorld says it's just as good as the pay antivirus services.





6. Rearrange your hard disk for slightly better performance.





Here's how:





I. Start%26gt; Control Panel%26gt; Upper left corner make sure you are looking at the Category View (not Classic View)





II. Click "Performance and Maintenance"





III. Click "Free up space on your hard disk" and follow the instruction to remove old junk files.





IV. Click "Rearrange items on your hard disk to make programs runs faster" It will take 30min-1hr+ to finish this step. The Windows program will rearrange your computers files in a better configuration and remove spaces and gaps.





V. Add more RAM (memory). This is one of the best things that you can do for your computer to speed it up!!





I hope this helps. Good luck!! You better give me some points for this. It took me a while to type it!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHA!!|||I understand your problem - I have had the same troubles in the past. The problem is that most Windows OS have a life span. Experts say that in about 9 months, a fresh install is usually necessary.





Over time, you error files are accumulated that slow down your programs and can even cause crashes. The more you use your computer, the more error files are created. The most frustrating thing is that these error files are created from simple day-to-day computer usage.

If you just want to match up music, you can get any cheap digital turntable - plenty of them (although toy quality) are under 350.





If you want to get into turntablism, its another story. You will want vinyl since its actually easier than digital turntablism. Then, move into the digital aspect. You could start that with a $150 turntable and $20 in sample records and a cheap $100 mixer. A beginners setup yes, but you are just getting into it.





Remember, with digital, there is latency - the delay of the act to the computer. You can spend 500 alone on a soundcard w midi that reduces latency. Digital turntables can hold 'timecode' audio that is run into your computer. The timecode sounds like noise, but its really data. The computer hears that scratched data, and in return, scratches the audio digitally on your computer. Not something for me personally, but it is a interesting thing nonetheless.

We have a home computer and it has norton anitvirus,my son just got laptop, can he get a different virus prot?

or should he be able to get the one we have on the home computer included in our package?|||get anything you want...|||He can install any antivirus package he likes on that laptop.





While it is definately true that you only want to install one antivirus application on ONE computer, that does not preclude you from choosing different antivirus suites for different computers. So you can have Norton on your computer, Trend on your son's laptop and any number of antivirus apps on any other computer that happens to come into your household.





Now, one thing you may have going for you is that Norton (and most of the major antivirus producers) now sell the software in a package that allows you to legally install and use the antivirus suite on up to three computers.





If you purchased a retail version of Norton antivirus, the odds are good you have this licensing model. Check the documentation that came with the Norton software. If you do indeed have the full retail version, you should be licensed to install that on three computers. You've used one license for your computer, so you should have two licenses available. If you wish, you can use another license to install the Norton software on your son's laptop.





If you don't have the standard home-user version of Norton (for example, the version you are using came bundled with your computer when you bought it) you still have options.





Of course, you could buy a copy of Norton (or any other major retail antivirus package) for his computer. Or, you can try any of the really good free antivirus applications that are out there. Here are links to a few:

Once you activate the license key for your system it cannot be used again, at least not easily.


Have go to www.CNET.com


Go to the download section and download AVG antivirus


Its good and its FREE!!!!|||You can't legally use the same copy of Norton on two machines at once unless it was sold as a multi-user pack. In general, he should get his own copy of an anti-virus.





Hope that helps.|||Norton is really really really rubbish.

Make sure firewalls are enabled on other computers. If you want to be 100% safe, take the other systems down before connecting the infected laptop.|||It's not likely that anything bad would happen to the other computers. However, you shouldn't expose her computer to the Internet again until it has proper protection, especially if it's already infected.





It is better to get an anti-virus CD at Staples, Best Buy or Office Depot -- or just use one of the other computers and download the software to a CD, then put it on her computer. You should also download and install SpyBot (google it).





However, removing viruses and spyware from an already infected computer is tricky and installing the software doesn't always take care of the problem. The best thing to do is to back up her files, erase the hard drive and reinstall windows. Install spybot and anti-virus software and THEN connect it again. Though this is a pain in the ***, it is the best way to make sure her computer is safe.





Good luck!|||Try doing this:

How can I find out what operating system is on my computer?

Hello everyone,


My sister gave me her old computer. It is in really good shape. I went out and bought a flashdrive and on the back of the packaging it says that it will only work with Windows xp or windows vista. How can I find out? What else should I know about the computer? any thoughts?


thanks so much.


ruthie|||To my knowledge flash drives, pen drives and what ever they may be called, are not Operating system specific. I use all mine with Windows XP, Windows Vista and even Linux with no problems.





You can open the control panel, then the system icon and the first menu screen tells you what Windows and what service pack is installed. You can also open menus, accessories, system tools and click on system information which will display all the information about the computer and what software is installed. Belarc Advisor is free and when you run it, it will create an .html file and open your browser and display this information, including the product key code number of the windows and other programs also.





If you set it up for a printer, you can print all this information out and keep it handy when you need to find something like hardware drivers.|||Flash drives are universal. That flash drive will work just as well under Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, as well as many other obscure operating systems. Manufacturers often give bogus requirements due to software bundling on retail flash drives. Just ignore it - your flash drive will work on any computer.





As for finding out the operating system, you can usually tell on boot up by the splash screen - it should say "Windows XP Home Edition." Vista and Windows 7 aren't so obvious. To check the version, click Start, right click "Computer" and choose "Properties" from the drop down. It should list your Windows version in the box popping up.|||have you tried it by plunging in you USB drive of your pc if it wont work then you need a driver CD for the same if it come with the flash drive,mostly latest flash drives are plug and play compatible and if you want to know the version of windows type "winver" in Run, you will get Run option in "start"menu, and if it is a old version like "windows 95" or "ME"get the latest windows like "xp" or "windows7" by calling a technician, thank you|||It should still be able to work regardless.





But, simple way would be to go to the "Control Panel", and then look for something named "System".





But seriously, connect the flashdrive, and then open up "My Computer", and it should show up.|||As long as you use Windows, you can find out using the following method on ALL versions.

How can you tell if a 32 bit app will run on an AMD 64 x2 computer before you try it?

I'm considering buying an AMD 64 bit x 2 Turion notebook computer, but don't know if my existing 16 and 32 bit apps will work on it. Also how do I tell if an app I'm thinking of buying will run on it , if it doesn't say so on the packaging such as an older game, etc.?


Thanks.|||Most possibly, it will run well in AMD 64.





AMD's 64-bit processor uses an extended 32-bit instruction set (AMD64, aka x86-64), unlike some Intel's 64-bit which uses a completely new instruction set (IA-64), which makes many older programs run in compatibility layer (legacy mode), resulting in loss of performance when running 32-bit apps in it and less compatibility. With AMD's the 32 bit program runs in 64-bit environment natively, making performance loss negligible and compatibility wider, although since the programs are designed for 32-bit they won't be capable of accessing the extra features.





The problem, however, if it exist, would be with the Operating System (OS). If you used a 64-bit OS, there might be incompatibilities introduced by the OS (although it's quite rare). If you used 32-bit OS in 64-bit processor, all would be perfectly fine.|||Your apps will run fine. Remember, not many applications take advantage of a 64-bit architecture (mostly server programs). I wouldn't worry.|||if its base under x86 (x32) it works just fine! on x64

I receive a computer by accident addressed to me that I did not order can I keep it?

I immediately canceled my order and the accounts page verified that My order was canceled. I was never charged for the item, but around 2 weeks later my wife get a package via Fedex. I open it and it is a computer.





I called the retailer about it and they seemed not to know what I was talking about. Now approx 30 days after receiving the computer the retailer calls and said either I return the computer or get billed for it. They said if I return it they will pay for shipping, but I will have to package it and they recommended I get insurance for it because I would be liable for any damage that occurs during shipping or may have already occured. I do not have the original packaging any more, but they indicated they would not be responsible for providing that to me.

That is common legal position laid everywhere and is logical too. If he is not able to pay you the reasonable charges as above you have right to sell the piece at the normal price as salable in the given condition and deduct your charges and refund the balance to the shopkeeper.

How to tell if a computer is really new?

Hi, I recently purchased a computer online, supposedly "Brand New," but I noticed that it was not in its original packaging, so I'm not sure if it is actually "brand new" as the seller claimed. Is there a simple way to tell whether or not a computer is actually refurbished/used? Many thanks in advance for the help.|||IT HAS STICKERS! :D|||If it's a brand name computer (e.g. Dell, Lenovo, HP...) then it should come with its original discs, manuals, and accessories. The first time you power on the computer it should walk you through the rest of the Windows installation process in which you setup networking, register, and other first-time tasks.





Also there should not be a sticker on the computer that says "This is a refurbished unit."





Refurbished means it was sold to someone who returned it. The computer cannot, by law, be sold as "new" even if the customer never powered it on.
