DaChew Posted February 28, 2009 ID:60517 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I have probably handled more than 500 filter driver posts in 5 or 6 forums in the last several years, it's been my experience that it's best to let certain select programs do the registry editing when helping unknown users online. There's only a few programs I trust enough to let into the registry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, bad burning software installing/uninstalling and various... ehm, copy protection technologies have been known to break the damn thing. Just for future knowledge if nothing else...Online dating I think Oh, I don't burn anything. I just use it for watching DVDs, listening to music, or playing the Sims.And quick question, how would I get into the time part of BIOS? XD;Anndddddddddddd, since you guys were able to help me fix my drive, I was wondering if you could also help me fix my Wireless? I have a Netgear adaptor that worked just fine with the other laptop, but with mine it only picks up the signal but can't use it. It's been that way since a comcast guy came out and hooked our wireless up differently than we had it before. =/ I don't know whether my wireless chip is broken or what not, and I know my laptop doesn't have a switch to turn that off. So, just curious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
