Idea:

On PHF, we should make Admins and Asst. Admins have bold/italicized names. (I tried it and couldn't figure it out...)

why are you off on msn??

I weren't sure what you were getting at, but yeah, I know that much. However, that's certainly not the only thing that can cause slowdown on a Windows computer. Windows tends to become slow over time, for many potential reasons. It may be a buildup of background processes; this would especially affect older computers, or it could indicate a severely fragmented pagefile, or about a thousand other things that Windows tends to slowly screw up over the years. If you want to test to see if it might be the hard drive, I'd recommend using the Hitachi Drive Fitness test (scroll down; it's freeware, here's a link to a bootable iso); it's usually pretty good at checking whether a hard drive's about to fail. If the computer supports booting from USB, you can just stick it on a flash drive, but if it's older (which, from the description, I suspect it is), you might need to burn it to CD. Don't try to fix the drive with the tool unless you've already backed up (really, it's better just for diagnostics anyway).

On the other hand, if you know the hard drive manufacturer, you might want to try their specific diagnostic tool; it might even end up fixing any problems.

No clue. >.<

If you suspect the hard drive, have him back up any necessary files on another hard drive or a flash drive. If it's a few years old, it may just be Windows; a re-installation might help (though you'd need to back up in that instance, as well).

I'd have to see the exact error to fix it. Meanwhile, your friend may wish to try Pidgin. It can operate on the same protocol that MSN uses (and thus, communicate with MSN users), and it's not too hard to set up.

If your friend is using an outdated version of MSN, upgrading to a newer version might fix it, as well.

Someone has to manage that satellite connection. I believe Verizon does a lot of that satellite internet stuff, but like I said, you'd have to find out who's managing the connection.

I doubt it would depend on the hardware. It's whoever your contract is with, most likely.

I wouldn't know, nor do I care. : 3

Nope

I used that, I had to use Vistaglazz first.

DSL.

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

It is just a random name, lol. I was creating a new email address and got [email protected] as an address so I signed up here as that name.

Thanks for the compliment anyway.

I'll have to steer clear of HughesNet, then. I've been with AT&T for a while and while they're starting to do some questionable stuff, I haven't had any problems with them in the past. I certainly don't have any bandwidth quotas (that I know of, and I download a lot of big stuff).

That doesn't sound fun. What's your ISP?

...in normal css it does >__<
but i guess it doesn't on PC CSS :-P
ignoring the fact that the ) is supposed to be a }
