RE: [wdvltalk] Kaspersky problems - or maybe not... maybe!
No worries! I'm not sure where you are located and what you have available in terms of outlets. In the states, I recently helped my sister purchase an HP laptop from Best Buy with a 200+GB hard drive, Windows Vista (not my favorite) and 2GB of memory. It was right about $849 (before taxes and an extra warranty). I was actually pleased with how well it ran. If you want XP, then you might have to get from Dell or someplace like that, where you can still order with XP.

From: Todd Richards Hi Joseph - As a last resort, try running the Winsock fix. http://www.snapfiles.com/get/winsockxpfix.html Todd Todd, I was going to reply when there was a result to following your advice. But she seems set now on replacing the machine. I don't know if anyone has advice on the lowest cost for a machine a little above the floor of laptops.Say about £400 [$800]?

Todd Todd, That makes the prices look similar across the current exchange rate [depending on parts quality of course]. I had been hearing good things of HP. She will not touch Vista ;-) so Xp it is. There are one or two places tht offer it still beside Dell, though I have bought from them 3 times and think they give good value for the money. I've found service good too when my monitor went on the blink there was a replacement overnight from Ireland and instant return for the old monitor, so minimal hassle. I see M$ has cut th price of Vista - I wonder what that says... ;-) Joseph The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.

Hi Joseph - As a last resort, try running the Winsock fix. http://www.snapfiles.com/get/winsockxpfix.html Todd -Original Message- From: joseph harris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2008 2:22 PM To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com Subject: Re: [wdvltalk] Kaspersky problems - or maybe not... maybe! Hi Drew, thanks for the response. We've chased around finding what we can, but nothing tht gives answers; or rather we have only come across answers that suggest days of correction work or a complete reinstall of the OS.As to duelling that is possible but the two had sat happily together for about six months of more or less daily use, so it is not an obvious answer, unless some update has started an incompatibility.
