My tool bar has mysteriously migrated over to the side of my desktop. How do I move it back to the bottom of the desktop where it was before?
did u try to RIGHT CLICK on the area? Ive had this happen..and its an easy fix..but cant quite remember what I did. jif
Jif is right you have to grab it with your mouse and drag it back to the bottom, it'll tend to move to the top of the desktop before it moves to the bottom. Then once yo have it there, right click the start button...choose the taskbar tab and check the "Lock Taskbar" box. Terry
I'm all ears... I followed JIF's instructions to the letter... I succeeded... then immediately forgot what I did...
:?: Here's another question. I have a wireless router (Netgear) in the other room. My internet connection using this equipment is 108.0 Mbps. Sometimes my connection is lost, even though it says that its "excellent." The only way to reconnect, is to unplug the router, then plug it back in again and everything is OK. What's going on? Why do I have to reset the Netgear? Is there any way to prevent it from getting lost?
Have you tried changing broadcast channels on the router or does it have an auto setting so that it will find the cleanest channel when it boots up?
Jim, First... how often does this happen? The data rate you are talking about is not your internet connection. It is the data rate of your internal network. When it is showing "excellent", it is referring to your signal strength between the wireless devices. I too have issues with what you are seeing. For me the frequency is not enough to be concerned. It happens about once every 2 months. It happened about once every week when I was on Satellite. I have not been on this T1 connection long enough for it to happen yet. Since the frequency of occurrances changed with internet connection, I am assuming that my drop outs are happening due to issues with the internet provider. You might find that your situation is similar. Check one other thing the next time this happens: Try to communicate with other devices on the network. For example: Your router IP is probably 192.168.1.1 Put that address into your browser address bar to see that you are still communicationg with the router. Also, try to communicate with another computer or printer. I have 4 network capable printers on 192.168.1.55, 192.168.1.102, 192.168.1.103, and 192.168.1.104. If you can communicate with other devices, your network is sound both wired and wireless, and I would suspect either a defective router or an outside source (internet) that is affecting the router.
Tom, The fact that he has to reboot the router does make me worry that his router is defective, in my office if the wireless network gets a hiccup and is disconnected it actually will reconnect itself automatically no need to reboot router. Terry
Terry, It sounds like you are describing a wireless "hiccup". I have a suspicion that he is experiencing a wired hiccup. This could still be a defective router but it is more likely than not that his issue is a hiccup from an external source. I replaced my WRT54G linksys router twice. When the problem did not change I gave up. When I left satellite, the frequency dropped.
I find that I have to reboot my router every once in a while. As long as I don't have to rerout my booty I figure I'm ok.
JIF, If you read closely, or between the lines, you will realize that there was nothing wrong with the routers. The same problem was present after replacement. Actually, the Linksys is a very good product. I have nothing against Netgear, just have always used Linksys.
