okay I have another weird problem When I press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, I notice that I have a program called Apropos, and it is never responding. When I close it, it reopens itsself, because if I wait about 2 minutes, and press CTRL+ALT+DELETE again, the program will be there again. I have that program to remove adware and stuff like that (see link above) and it recognizes Apropos.. But the program can't get it off the pc, since Windows is using it. So I press CTRL+ALT+DELETE and close it, and then try to remove it with the spyware program. It still doesn't want to do it. What is Apropos? And how can I solve this?

I'm planning on going into something to do with computers as a career, and I have to write a paper on it next semester, any ideas? Anyway, my problem. Sometimes when I exit out of the AIM buddy list window (just so it goes into the system tray) I get the blue screen of death and it says the problem has something to do with win32k.sys. I scanned that file for viruses and nothing showed up  Any ideas? _______________ Brady Brothers: Orion-Greg, Furi0us-Peter, Me-Bobby. Long lost cousin to Flash. Midbie Council #007. Ex-JAK. |

A+ Certification - Nice little cert if you want to just study and get a job as a lower tech. Usually $50 for the test. I have an ebook on a CD from when I was thinking about taking the test (Its legit, don't worry y'all) if you're interested (and if I can find it, its been awhile). MCSE Certification - Higher up, more money. Nice if you want to become a higher up admin guy. Only problem is that this training gets real old real fast as Microsoft does whatever diddly they do. RHCE Certification - Red Hat's little thing. Very nice as a lot of servers are using Red Hat today (Although RedHat is messing with the way they do things and they've dropped support for some of their products lately). Now, if you want to uber, go for the CCNA. If the price is iffy, thats what student loans are for. CCNA's tend to be the ones that pay off. If you want to get even more rediculous than that, then take some assembler/C++/kernel coding courses and go for a coder/linux sysadmin position. Companies tend to pay a lot of money for someone who can write custom kernel patches for them. |

Ulic it's funny you ask that cause I know a guy who's going to send me some info on certifications in computer tech. As soon as he sends the info to me I'll let you know. He says the test are easy if you know what you're doing and I guess they're cheap cause he's a cheap kind of guy. Makes his women pay for their dinners on dates. Anyway the certifications are just what you're looking for from what I understand their is no course to take unless you fail they'll tell you what you need to take to qualify for that certification. So I'll let you know. _______________ "Look not back in anger, nor forward in fear But around you in awareness." Ross Hersey |
