anyone having problems with msn on vista?? mine seems to keep on signing in and signing out non-stop.

also, does anyone know how to allow access to shared folders on a network only to selected users? (considering the folders im sharing are from my other pc, running xp and i only want my dv to be able to access them and no one else that is connected to the same network)

thanks.

anyone know how come the sidebar battery monitor that i downloaded does not or shows an incorrect remaining time and doesnt move at all??
thanks.

1. battery monitor, 2. battery vista
1. shows 0.00 time remaining
2. shows 7hrs 59mins at all times and doesnt move

anyone know about avast av, as in does it have auto-detect of viruses when u plug in thumb drives etc? coz when i plugged in a thumb drive which had a virus, it didnt auto-detect it. windows autoplay showed the normal options of viewing folder n all and also an option to open the .exe file inside which was a virus. so i just opened the folder, but it didnt detect any viruses straight away till i scanned it. do i have to set some options??

the latest version? i dont think mine went off....only after i scanned...

is kaspersky better than avast?? does it take longer to load n all?? coz for me right now avast seems pretty good n all except for the fact that i mentioned it didnt seem to auto-detect the virus taht was in the thumbdrive

anyone notice any difference when opening media files in wmp from the first time u got ur laptop and after installing codec packs?? now whenever i open media files, it takes a few seconds to load, and shows 'media changing' in the bottom left corner. it used to open straight away last time. is it coz of the codec pack? im using k-lite codec pack.

im using k-lite full codec pack. is it possible to have 2 codec packs installed 2gether? i was having both k-lite and vista codec packs and thought maybe they were causing the slight lag when loading coz of conflicts or something. so i uninstalled them both and just installed k-lite alone. but still doesnt seem to load as fast as last time. what could be the problem?

hmmmm...tried the cccp pack. works fine n all. but the slight delay when opening files is still there. any suggestions??

yeah did that. but still getting that slight delay before the files open.

anyone know how the extended warranty process works? as in how to purchase it and so on? thanks.

anyone feel that data transfer is kinda slow for the 6203tx? dont know about the others. within folders also i feel a bit slow and from hdd to thumbdrive, copying a 350mb file takes about 2 n a half mins or so@1.95mb/sec. i find that data transfer between thumb drive and desktop pc (only 1.8 p4) is much faster than the 6203. any reason for this?

hmmmm. not sure what speed my pendrive is running at. but i dont think it's 1.1 coz i bought it quite recently. even if im not sure what speed it is, how come it runs faster on my desktop compared to my dv6203tx? both d slots at d side are 2.0 right??

hmmm. alright. just wanted to check in case anyone was getting higher speeds than mine and maybe there was something wrong with mine.
thanks 4 d help

anyone who has dv6203tx tried upgrading ram from 2GB to 4GB before? using everest, i found out that the maximum amount that the chipset can support is 4GB, so i bought 2 pieces of 2GB hoping that it would work. in the bios however it only shows 3328 MB and the vista loading bar shows up...as well as the welcome sound, but the screen is black and doesnt load the user log on screen. is it true that it really doesnt support 4GB or do i just need 2 upgrade my BIOS?
