....If I need to go into Bangkok for a half day of shopping I also get extremely tired which is extended to the following day....
Normally active young woman who gets tired shopping? Definately something wrong here.
Seriously, you should consult a medical professional and insist they do a complete blood workup.
Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

^^ Yes, and that's not the only problem. (Check Forums and comments here)
As one user commented, "...can't wait until v1.1 becomes available..."

ok well i just upgraded to the Zone Alarm PRo...There is a problem Google mail...
When i receives an email ...in that email includes a link to thai visa newsletter forum...
The problem now is that when i tried to click on the link i am unable to click it...seems that Zone alarm have enabled something..so anyone knows how to configure there???
tytus - If your using Internet Explorer and Outlook or Outlook Express, check that IE is designated as your default browser and your associations (URL:File Transfer Protocol) has been correctly set, so it points to the default browser. (More info here or look up associations in Windows XP's START > HELP & SUPPORT.)
I doubt ZoneAlarm had anything to do with your problem, most likely it occured either when you reinstalled XP or if you later installed another browser, like Firefox.
good luck

Tytus - Whichever firewall you choose, make sure it is a bi-directional firewall (one which monitors not only incoming but also outgoing data).
Most cable and dsl modem/routers (as well as the Windows XP built-in firewall) only monitor incoming data. A good firewall, like ZoneAlarm not only monitors traffic both ways, but it is one of the few which also checks your "pre-approved" outgoing traffic against an encrypted profile, to insure the original "approved" program has not been modified by a virus or spyware.
Regardless of which software firewall you select, run the ShieldsUp and LeakTest here, to test your system for "holes". You may be suprised at the findings.

spacebass & syd barrett - A couple more thoughts on this problem.
1) Double check the file associations for WMA, to make sure extension call-ups are pointed correctly.
2) Before you attempt running WMA again, close all open windows and disable any "active" antivirus or antispyware programs. Now run another test.
3) If available, try another player (e.g. Quicktime) to see if it will play the movie.
More questions
1) Was the WinXP Pro currently installed the original OS for the system, or was it an update from WinXP Home or an earlier Win98x version?
2) Have you ever reinstalled or attempted to reinstall, the current OS?
3) Was the currently installed WinXP Pro originally version SP1 and you later updated to SP2, or was it SP2 from the beginning?
4) You say the original XP install and the XP disk your currently using for "testing" are not the same. Was either of these an OEM reinstall disk, which came with the computer? If so which was which?
5) Was the WMA 10 you installed a "fresh" copy downloaded from the Microsoft WMA website, or did you obtain it from another source?

edh - Are you using the same Skype "login name" on the new computer, as you use on the laptop? If they are the same, you shouldn't need to "recapture" your contacts list. More info here: http://support.skype.com/index.php?_a=know...ondetails&_i=89
Again, assuming you are using the same Skype "login name", you might try copying the files from your laptop and transfering them to the new PC. (Skype stores the contact list locally in C:\Documents and Settings\yourwindowsusername\Application Data\Skype directory.
good luck

tamtam23 - There are quite a few earlier threads concerning X-Box, PS2 and PSP, showing prices and local shops.
Try the "search" function (top of this window) and you'll come up with many posts, such as:

thanks for the info, have contacted them and will await the outcome, have you used PReS before at all?
No I haven't, but it looks very interesting. Will put it on my list of things to checkout, if & when I get some free time.

Lobin - Most printers today, even very inexpensive ones have the capability of printing pictures with a higher resolution than most digital cameras are capable of taking.
As Firefoxx indicated, other important decisions involve, inks, paper type and print size.
If your pictures are "art" and sold as such for framing and presentation in the home or public buildings, then you should most definately secure the best raw materials available.
Your statement "CD/DVD printable essential" will greatly limit your choices, especially if you talking about printing directly on the CD/DVD themselves. I would suggest you think of that as a seperate operation (needing seperate equipment), if at all possible.
Remember, too many compromises and your likely to end up with inferior products, overall.
good luck and success

Hi Wolfie,
do you have to do a full re-install?
I assume by above you mean, do you have to uninstall the old version, before installing the new one. The answer is no, as Skype stores your chat histories and contacts list on their server(s) as well as on your computer.
However, IMHO it is usually best to uninstall any old version first, then reboot your computer so as to "clean" the registry.
In this particular case, when the uninstall starts, you will be asked if you want to save your chat histories and contacts list. Just reply yes.
The following links provides a visual presentation of the proceedure:

If your an avid gamer, you might just want to wait for either the XBox-360 coming later this year or the PS3 coming 2nd. qtr 2006.
Believe me, they'll be well worth the wait.

One problem with "debit type credit cards" issued by banks under the Visa, MC, and other names, is, you are not covered by loss/fraud laws of many countries, as is the case with regular credit cards, which require the card company to assume any fraud loss. Some issuers of debit type cards do indemnify you, but they are not legally required to do so.
More food for thought.

......Had a problem a while back and took it to the guys who know what they are doing. They had no idea how to fix my problem.....
Jockstar - Help and Support, or what Microsoft refers to as HSC (Help & Support Center) actually consists of many files, some of which are used by online web pages as well as third party installed programs. (It is not a single file.)
There was a vunerability issue sometime back (prior to SP1) wherein malware could enter your system and delete files. A patch to repair that problem was issued in SP1, but is available as a seperate download from Microsoft. This subject is quite involved, but if you want to read all the details, check the following links:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/MS02-060.mspx
http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/details...D0-1072D949320A
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...b;en-us;Q328940
First, try running the Windows SFC (System File Checker). Details here: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=310747
It that doesn't work, your original problem may have been caused by malware. An OS reinstall, if just installed on-top-of the previous OS, may not have removed or corrected that original problem. The easiest solution is probably to backup all your data files and do a complete reformat and reinstall of the OS, using the original reinstall disks which came with your computer or a full legal version of XP.

(PS - I think I would also begin looking for a new service shop.)

Many Visa, Amex and MC (no-annual-fee cards) also provide:
. Collision Damage Waver (CDW) insurance on most car rentals
. Warranty period extension up to one year on most purchases (e.g. TV's, computers, appliances, etc.)
Re: item 16, (Internet access (Dial up/ADSL/Satellite) <added>) don't see how this can be provided free or even as part of "low annual card fee cost". Amex tried this (free dialup) with the introduction of their "Blue" no-fee card several years ago. Lasted about 6 months. ISP was costing them 2-3 ($US) per holder, per month.

It's difficult for someone to answer your question specifically, without knowing the make/version of browser your using.
Assuming your using Windows and Internet Explorer 6, try the following:
1) Close all browser windows.
2) Open one IE window.
3) Click on Tools then Internet Options
4) In new Window, click the Advanced tab
5) Under the Browsing category, UNCHECK the box next to "Use AutoComplete..."
6) Close browser.
7) Reopen browser and run a test to make sure it has turned-off the AutoComplete function.
For more specific details click START > HELP, click on Index Tab, enter AutoComplete and review information shown.
Turning off AutoComplete, however, does not clear your History file, so anyone using the same computer can track your surfing by just reviewing that file. To clear the "History file, follow 2) & 3) above, then click the "Clear History" button.

To accomplish what their talking about (actual broadband TV over the internet) will require FTTH (Fiber-To-The-Home).
While Japan, Singapore and other Asian countries are moving rapidly ahead with FTTH, most other countries are actually lagging behind. The USA, for example, has dropped from 2nd. to 13th. place in this "race".
If it's going to take them 1 year to get VOIP up and running, my guess is it will take 10+ years to install FTTH to the point it is practical and profitable. And the cost ............
(Don't even ask.)I wonder who they expect will put up the money for this venture?

devil_dog - I don't see any reference to a remote control unit, unless you think the "untested, as-is, no warranty piece of applicable hardware" is a remote.i just saw on ebay...the OEM CD of winxp media center edition with remote is on sale at ebay....
???Just remember, buyer beware! Email seller for details.

You should be able to find a good USB laptop mouse for under 10 ($US) for the wired version and less than 20 ($US) for a wireless version (Logitech or Microsoft).
When you mention getting an Apple for movie editing, are you referring to the G5 desktop or a G4 laptop? If the latter, you may want to throughly investigate (try) it first, as its capability will be limited due cpu speed and drive size.
In the meantime, get hold of a copy of Adobe Premiere Elements (I believe you can still download a trial version) and play with it on your Dell. Its really quite good and much easier to master than the full Premiere version.
Have fun...enjoy

devil_dog - Windows Media Center Edition (2002, 2004, 2005) are shell programs (similar to what Windows3.x was to DOS) which overlays WindowsXP Professional to provide various audio/video capabilities.
To my knowledge, Media Center Edition (MCE) is not available at the retail level and only comes as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) installed product. Each MCE (like Windows itself) is usually modified to a particular OEM's hardware requirements.
With the above in mind:
1. Yes, but probably only as a "replacement part" from the OEM who's MCE version you "acquired". In addition to the remote, you will also need a TV tuner an infrared receiver module(s), misc circuitry for the remote to work properly, and an audio/video card. (As your probably aware, there's also the question of hard drive (HDD) space. Video requires a lot of storage space. Newer computers incorporating MCE now have HDD's of 350-400gigs. Future High Definition (HDTV) will need 4-5x that amount.)
2. I'm sure, regardless of whether its Thailand or any other city in the world, where there's a demand, you can buy just about anything, if your willing to pay the going price.
3. If you have the same brand computer as the MCE-CD you say you have, it might install provided, during installation it sees you also have all the required elements. Remember, you'll probably need the same make/model video card used by that OEM, and that may be a non-standard card.
Cost wise, you'd be much better off buying the computer (desktop or laptop) with MCE factory installed. The cost difference between a non-MCE computer and one with MCE is only about 150 ($US). Considering the fact MCE is basically WindowsXP Pro, you usually get a larger HDD, a better sound/video card, and TV/VCR capability, the cost difference is actually quite a bargin.
As a test, I suppose you could try installing MCE using the disk you have (after doing a complete system backup) to see potential compatability problems. (Personally I doubt it will install until your systems configuration meets that particular OEM's requirements.)
Also keep in mind, buying replacement parts from an OEM are much more expensive than their counterpart which came with the machine itself. Contact the OEM and get a price on the remote and a replacement video card. That should give you a rough idea of where your headed.
On the plus side, this "little" project will keep you out of the pubs for a quite some time.
good luck
[PS - If your only trying to project TV or DVD/VHS movies, an inexpensive DVD/VCR combo machine with its built-in TV tuner would probably be the least expensive way to go. Some of these combos sell for a low as 50 ($US).]

....Please contact the message sender and request that they send you a virus-free version of this attachment.
I hope you didn't follow those directions. Doing so might confirm your email address as "active" and lead to many more such malware.
This is a rather old (May 2004), but nasty worm. To quote Symantec:
W32.Netsky.P@mm is a mass-mailing worm that uses its own SMTP engine to send itself to the email addresses it finds when scanning the hard drives and mapped drives. The worm also tries to spread through various file-sharing programs by copying itself into various shared folders.The From line of the email is spoofed, and its Subject line and message body of the email vary. The attachment name varies with the .exe, .pif, .scr, or .zip file extension.
This worm also uses the Incorrect MIME Header Can Cause IE to Execute E-mail Attachment vulnerability to cause unpatched systems to auto-execute the worm when reading or previewing an infected message.
A removal tool is available, should you become infected.

^^ Very good advice from Dradam.
I think I would also seek a second opinion. Your sight is nothing to play around with. Get some professional treatment, and don't put it off. Do it now!
good luck, keep us posted on your progress.

syd - File association refers to a programs extension which utilizes a designated program to "open" that particular program.
For example, lets say you have a picture of your pet, named ourdogxmas04.jpeg and you want to view that picture on your computer using your browser. In order for this to happen when you double click on the picture, the extension needs to be "associated" (been previously told) to use iexplore.exe to open/display that file. That same picture could also have been "associated" with other programs such as Photoshop, ACDSee or any of a dozen other photo/video processing software.
Review and follow the Microsoft support document here, which explains the process better than I ever could.
After you have confirmed the "associations" are correct, I would now try the following, after you disconnect completely from the internet. Shut down ALL programs running in the background except Explorer. Then double click your movie and confirm it is opening the correct "player". (If any errors are reported, write down their details.)
spacebass - When I say "retest" or "run another test", I mean try running the program (movie) again by double clicking its icon and check if it opens/plays correctly using the correct "associated" program (e.g. WMP).
You might also want to review Microsoft's lengthy discussions on codecs, beginning here.
On two occassions, and for reasons unknown, I found making and putting a shortcut to a particular program I wish to use, in the "SendTo" folder, and then right clicking the program icon I wish to open, then by using the "SendTo" function to point it to the correct associated program, worked, when just clicking on the original icon did not work.
As the old saying goes, "whatever works".
good luck
