This sounds good... could you be more specific on how to tighten up the browser security settings? Thanks.

Wondering if anyone is using DualHead 2go to run additional 2 monitors from a laptop, or from a desktop, for that matter. What are your thoughts/experiences on this setup. Thanks. Alan

Could you be more specific about Ad-Aware? What do you know about what this program does that it shouldn't be doing?

It just occurred to me that this is the way most fans work. I should have mentioned I was looking at one made by Arctic Cooling, which is not reversible. Thanks.

I want to quiet down my new PC by replacing one noisy case fan with two quiet fans. I will need one to push, one to pull, and see no reference in looking at fans with regard to whether or not they are intake or exhaust. Is the direction determined by the orientation of the connector, i.e., can...

Still trying to solve a video card related problem, I thought I would make sure my NEC monitors had the latest NEC driver before I give up on a new Nvidia card. I downloaded their newest driver, it shows up in add/remove programs, but does not show up as the current driver when the current...

I guess I stayed clear of the Matrox this time around because the G550 PCIe is only PCIe x 1. I know it's still faster than PCI, but isn't it a little strange that they didn't try to maximize the benefit of the new slot? Or is this irrelevant as it pertains to bringing up charts? Thanks. Alan

I guess I didn't make myself clear, I got rid of the Matrox because it is an AGP, and wanted to switch to PCIe. But I think it was on its way out, though, 4 years old and doing some very weird stuff at the end. Alan

Just replaced my PC, on which I have always had two lcd's driven by a Matrox G450 AGP. Switching over to a PCIe card I took a chance on an EVGA geforce 6200 card, due to the fact that I was having some driver/card related problems(I now am pretty sure the G450 was on its way out). I have often...

I'm giving my 4 year old IBM P4 XP Home machine to a friend, and want to make sure the hard drive is clean. I did a reinstall of the operating system from the partition that IBM places on the disk for recovery, and although is says it is removing all files, my understanding is that they are...

I'm adding a second hard drive, just trying to understand optimal partitioning options, and have a simple question: Must all program files be in the same partition, or can different files be put in different partitions. Thanks. Alan

I'm finding most of the books I read these days to improve my trading have nothing to do with the markets per se - wondering what books some of you would highly recommend that pertain to psychology, states of mind, emotions under stress, etc. A couple I read recently were Deep Survival, an...

Just curious to see the percentage of trades made both long and short by stock traders here on ET. Thanks. Alan

In defragmenting my hard drive I discovered the single green band(green equals unmovable files), which I always assumed to be my XP operating system, is now split into two bands. Has my hard drive moved these files because it is wearing out or about to die, or for some other reason? Thanks...

Thanks. I just did this, and it appears this may have helped the problem. I am definitely seeing less cpu usage(averaging about 15% versus previous 50%), but will have to watch for some time, because when this thing really gets pegged and freezes up is during periods of extreme volume...

Thanks to everyone who has tried to help with this... I'm going to share one last thing, which may or may not mean anything, and if I can't solve it in the next day or so then upgrade to an Athlon 64. I ran the complete diagnostic test on it this afternoon, and when looking at what it said...

This is what I'm thinking at this point, although there is one last thing I'm going to investigate, i.e. defective memory. The fact that the memory usage on my machine doesn't fluctuate much at all, even for brief periods, someone found puzzling. I have never seen more than 50% of it being...

I am. Also, to try to narrow it down, just before the close I uninstalled all anti-viral and anti-spyware programs, with no change whatsoever in CPU usage, so if it's something running in the background I can't imagine what it might be.

I forgot to mention, DTNIQ is the culprit, with MBTrading normally using up only 10% or so of the remainder. I spoke to tech at DTNIQ, had them bring up identical charts, and their CPU usage was about 20% of mine at the same time.
