Screen savers suck you don't want one, just set your computer to go to sleep mode or hibernate after like an hour or something it's better.

okay, I think I have some sort of spyware on my computer because it's being annoying and slow. There are no pop-ups though.
I've run Ad-Aware twice and nothing has come up. And spybot wont work on this computer. So yeah, does anyone have any suggestions or any other good programs like spybot that I could use?

That's why everyone hates Real media. Low quality files that only work with one shitty player.
That's a lie!!! Well, the low quality part isn't. But you can play RealMedia in RealPlayer (blech), Real Alternative for Media Player Classic (my fav), or Winamp (with the correct plugin).
I don't even have RealPlayer on my computer, and as everyone on the hub knows... I'm a multimedia queen.

I have a huge sound problem.
I went away for a month, came back and now my sound is completely gone. I've been trying to fix my sound all week but havnt figured it out. Its definetely not a speaker problem but rather a sound card or windows 98se problem. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling my sound drivers, i've tried reinstalling windows media, i've reinstalled directx sound, and i've even went into my registery and checked my sound settings there. The problem is this. When I go check my driver status in my system menu it tells me everything is fine, but when I fire up any multimedia device it tells me it cant detect a sound card. My sound card definetely isnt gone because its integrated into my mother board. So whats my problem??? You tell me.
Seriously.. I need to know. If I cant solve it by tommorow i'm reinstalling windows.

You might need a whole new sound card. My computer did that too, and we needed to get a whole new sound card.

A new sound card would mean I would need a new motherboard.

i'm guessing you've tried restarting 
that's what usually fixes my sound when it dies.

Have you thought of taking it in somewhere and asking them what to do?

My computer is dying a slow slow death and my folks dont seem to care. So I better back up all my files. How many cds will it take to back up 13 gigs of music?

I've never had anyone do any work on my computer for me and i'm not about to start. If worse comes to worse i'll just reinstall windows which is a lot better than spending money on some tech guy.

You could always format it. Wipe it clean and then reinstall everything, just back your stuff up first.

You read the part where I said I may just reinstall windows right?

FORMAT!!!!! Back up anything you want to keep and then format it, wipe it all clean it makes your computer so much better, i did it to mine and it runs like a dream now.
For Josh: it's possible to reinstall windows without formatting I did it somehow when I was trying to format my computer because it refused to format lol.
