Computer help needed!

[Hangman]

I broke the electric cupholder on my computer. I guess jug of java was too heavy for it. Is it still covered under the warranty?

 

I deal strictly in software.

Something else I do is uncheck Service Pack 3 and click "don't notify me of these updates again". :thumb:

Ditto. With SP3 I determined there was nothing of merit to install it in the first place, and this was before I started hearing about the problems it could cause.

I tried to uninstall Windows Desktop Search from a coworker's computer but couldn't because it was part of service pack 3.

To get around that I disable the toolbar from the taskbar, and then go into msconfig and disable the startup process. Pretty much does the same trick.

I have been considering starting up various "technical" threads before. Are there enough computer geeks like me on here to have any quality discussions?

 

I'd like to think I am enough of one!

I go here anytime I need computer help. They are great, and it's free.

I'm up for it. My strength is programming, but I also run an IT department, so I have to handle hardware and proprietary software (Windows, Office, Norton, etc.) issues constantly. I don't consider myself an expert in either department, though.

I'm definitely a geek. More of a hardware geek than a software geek. But still, a geek.
