Hi there,
I was researching, and adding a "Broadband Telephone" onto my computer. I was required to find the boardband ethernet cable from the computer? Where is it? What is the colour of the plug? How many plugs down from the top of the CPU?

So in doing an AVG virus search on my Windows XP computer, I was presented, after a few minutes of searching, with a menu that said "Unwanted Program While opening file: C:\\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\pinstall.dll Adware.LookMe" (The "Adware.LookMe" was on the next line of the message; whether this is because it was separated by a space or because it wouldn't have fit on the line above - which was the case - I don't know.) At any rate. It asks me if I want to Ignore the "Unwanted Program", Move to Vault, or Add to Exceptions (meaning they wont bother me about it in searches to come.) I have no idea what I should do. I know dll files can be important, and I generally keep out of the WINDOWS folder, but otherwise I'm pretty clueless here. What should I do? Thanks, 70.108.199.130 05:09, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks a lot.
Would anyone know of any sort of encyclopedia software (Preferably freeware, naturally) that is similar to and can be used in a similar fashion to Wikipedia and other wikis (For example; articles, internal-linking, search functionality and the like) but is chiefly offline and only for personal use?

I asked a question on the Wikipedia-help desk regarding tracking down the location of an IP address and was told:
If you go to an IP's talk page with messages on (it doesn't work if the talk page is a redlink) and click on WHOIS at the bottom of the page, it will tell you information about the IP. Sometimes it can be traced down to an individual school, city, or organisation, sometimes you don't get any more information than which contintent the IP's located on.
My next question is, what causes the variability in the available information? -- Seans Potato Business 10:57, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
Since the | is used to separate statements in BNF, how do you represent a | in BNF for something like the standard boolean "or" in most programming languages? -- Kainaw (talk) 13:15, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Is it possible to bypass the feature on my Nano IPod and download or upload songs without having to delete everything first?
The Windows installer on my computer is giving me a lot of trouble. Whenever I try to run Microsoft software, the installer launches and tells me it cannot locate the pro11.msi file. I know that this is because I manually deleted my Office 2003 folder from my Program Files folder after installing Office 2007 (for some reason, the Office 2003 uninstaller refused to run). How do I make this stop? — LestatdeLioncour t 16:20, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
The Add/Remove programs panel invokes the uninstaller for Office 2003, which as I mentioned, refused ro run. I tried pointing the installer at the file it was asking for (I have it on the installation CD), but it still wouldn't shut up. Maybe I'll try cleaning up the registry... though I've had highly unpleasant experiences with that before. I think somehow the Office 2007 installer screwed up my machine, because I tried to install Office 2007 on my laptop, but then I found out that it needed at least XP SP2 (I have SP1), and now I can't run Office at all on my laptop (I also get the same prompt when launching any Microsoft product). Windows can be such a headache at times... — LestatdeLioncour t 20:09, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
I accidentally clicked on my bottom menu (the one with the start menu, etc) and mistakenly dragged it to the right (dorsal) side of my screen. I can't get it back on the bottom. I once knew how to fix it... crap. Help meem! 69.81.50.3 18:21, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
I've probably posted the question some time ago, but forgot how to watch the downloaded replays in StarCraft. Namely after throwing the .rep files to the maps folder I select Multiplayer, then Direct Cable Connection, then Create game, but see no such files. Suggestions? -- Brand спойт 21:16, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
