Good question!!!  This site is maintained by a woman, known as a computer "expert", who runs a gaming league through Yahoo, it's been there for years and she recommends these downloads personally for her members, so I trust the site and the sites she recommends.  I've used many of them and they really work!  I think the ones you'll need are webroot window washer and window clean up.  There is also a program out there that basically deletes EVERYTHING down to your original windows files, etc.  That is for when you are giving away your computer, but I'm not sure if your boss would like that!  If this doesn't help and you need more info you might try emailing her at the link at the bottom.  (Tell her an old admin from Warriors sent you over!)\n\nI just read your comment, that's a toughie!  You have to delete everything manually or go ahead and use the programs I mentioned.  If it's a shared computer then there shouldn't be anything too personal on there??  I mean you were already sharing it with other people!

1. Fix it yourself?\nThis is your best bet if you know what you are doing. I encourage this approach as many people bring it to me after they really screwed it up. Then I make more money than if they had brought it to me in the first place.\n\n2. Call the Hardware or Software manufacturer?\nGreat Idea if you speak  Indian or Cantonese\n\n\n3. Call or bring the PC/Notebook in to the place you bought it?\nThis approach seldom works unless you bought it from a computer specialty store.\n\n\n4. Have a friend, neighbor, relative or co-worker fix it?\nI really like this idea, I generally make even more money than if you tried to fix it yourself.\n\n\n5. Call or bring the PC/Notebook to a PC support company like Geek Squad or Nerds on Line? (which)\nSure if you can afford them. Your local small computer business is a better bet, because they actually care about repeat business and their reputation.\n\n6. Other (please specify). \nBuy a new computer!

try to use a remote access to the computer at work so that way you are at home and accessing the program thru the company computer. you have to have to be able to have acces thru the firewall to access it. this is not hard to do but most people dont know you can even do it.

There is not a company that keeps record of all this information. If you worked for less then 30 days at anyone job I would not mention it, it shows inconsistency. When it asks for when you worked just put the month and year.\n\nThe closest thing that you could use to locate all of your employees would be looking at your W-2's, you should keep them, if you don't, you should certainly start keeping them.\n\nGood luck

Is this a home computer?  Then you need to long on as another account and change your account to be an administrator.\n\nIf this is a company computer, which I suspect, cal your help-desk and discuss this issue with them.  There is probably a reason you are not allowed to delete your IE history.  They can also put you in contact with the system administrator.

Ive had this prob before and our tech came over and reset a bunch of log / ini files. I would recommend contacting intuit or whoever is supporting your software.

It sounds like you are doing a pretty good job.\n\nNow for maintenance -\n\nDefrag your computer once a month.\n\nDelete your temporary Internet files and Internet history once a week.\n\nRun Scan Disk once every two months.\n\nBackup your files on a regular basis.

Typically your machine should last anywhere from 3 to 5 years and possibly even beyond. I have a new PC, but I also use my old one and it's from 1999. It's got some quirks but it still runs pretty well. Old age will kill it eventually I know, but for the most part PCs should last a good long time. \n\nOne recommendation is to leave your computer running most of the time. You put more wear and tear on it by starting up and shutting it down than you do by just leaving it running, so if possible- just let it run.\n\nAlso after 3 or 4 years you're probably going to NEED a new machine anyhow, simply because there'll be a new version of Windows, new devices your computer can't accomodate, new software that can't run on older machines, etc.\n\nBut if you're just wondering how long you can expect your machine to run, I'd say if you take care of it, it could last at least 4 or 5 years and possibly more.

Ask hp--- a friend of mine had 1 of these computers and it was back with them more times than he had actually used it. I have been told that these Pre loaded comps dont like being messed with. if you try yourself it always seems to go wrong. They must do something with them that stops you messing.

Definitely Call the manufacturer. If you are under waranty which most are 2 years they will solve the problem no matter what it takes. If you are out of waranty which I dont think you are cuz that is a newer computer they could steer you in the right direction. Hope this helps

It is very likely that your employes are monitoring your computer usage at work.  77.7% of major employes monitor their employees' internet, phone, computer and work activities.  The rules for workplace monitoring favor employers. There are no federal laws that regulate monitoring employees. Only two states, Delaware and Connecticut, have laws that require employers to notify employees if the company monitors them.  This is due to the fact that the computers in the office are supplied for the primary benefit of the company... not the staff person's personal use.\n\nCompanies maintain that by utilizing web based mail applications such as Yahoo, Gmail or Hotmail, the employee is putting the business in much greater risk of viruses and worms entering the network.\n\nAn American Management Association survey, which involved 526 U.S. companies, states that about 25 percent of employers have fired workers for misusing the Internet; another 25 percent have terminated employees for inappropriate use; and 6 percent have fired employees for misusing office telephones.\n\nAnd it is very cost effective, at around $10 per employee per year for larger companies.  And keeping your passwords safe, clearing your cache and your cookies, and not having your computer remember any passwords will not stop your employer from being able to see what you are up to.\n\nComputer monitoring may include keystoke logging, software monitoring, or applications to view what you see on your monitor.  Sniffers placed on networks can also pinpoint employees who are using the network bandwidth by activities such as downloading music or listening to web based radio stations.\n\nMy recommendation if you want to be able to check your personal mail from the workplace and protect both your job and your privacy is to have a web enabled mobile device that you own to do this on.  If you intend to do this infrequently, then most phones with web access will work for brief usage.  If you will be doing this on a frequent basis, then you're better to go with a much faster private method, such as a Treo web enabled device.
