From what I've read, these monitors came with a 3 year warranty from Dell. You said it's about 3 1/2 years old. You could take a chance and call Dell and go through their (oh so wonderful) tech support group to diagnose the problem. There's a chance Dell might be nice and do a warranty repair

Are you sure you mean Shockware and not Shockwave? If it is Shockware then you might want to do some research on that or even consider removing it. (Go to Tools/Options/Content/Manage and find the player in the list. Click it once to select it, then click Change Action will confirm what

I need to renew a couple of computers AV software currently on Norton AV. After reading CNET's review of Norton ( it is a pig, 300MB in size and monopolizes 258MB of memory) I was thinking of switching to Kaspersky. Any thoughts would be appreciated. McAfee is not on my list because it is a

Thanks Ellen, I have tried AVG and find the user interface to be cumbersome. But you are right AVG is good and does not seem to hog resources. A plus - they are a German company. Mike Ellen Harris wrote: Have you looked at AVG? Equally good to McAfee and Norton, Equally foreign, but

I currently use Kaspersky. Relatively unobtrusive. A 10 seat business license is about $380/3 years. I *did* have trouble with the malware components on my test machine (too obtrusive), so have selected the install option 'anti virus only' when deploying. I can't address the question if they

My wife uses FireFox and would like PDF files to open in her browser. When she clicks on a PDF link it downloads the file to the computer before it opens the file. I use OmniWeb as my browser and know how to turn the PDF viewer off and on in that, but I don't know how to do it with FireFox.

There's a chance the supervisor will agree to repair or replace your monitor because it's just barely out of warranty. I'd do it, based on this hypothetical. It's at most a $200 item and I buy much more customer loyalty out of the transaction than $200 would get me in advertising. I don't
