Help help! The click wheel on my iPod has stopped working. I cannot scroll through menus or change the volume. It just started doing this on the ride home tonight.

ETA: FIXED! The reset trick worked. But still, alarming. I've never had any trouble with Candylike the iPod before.

le nubian, what was the answer? I have the same extention and now I'm curious.

Jilli, sometimes they need a swift kick in the pants. Like a PDA they're essentially on all the time, so when it starts acting quirky the best thing is a reset. It's normal.

SA -

okay, one will keep the tab open unless you specifically close it (protect I think)

one will force links you click to open in new tabs (lock I think)

You can lock and protect (since these are two different functions which is called "freeze").

huh. okay.

Both yesterday and today I've been having problems actually using the 'net.

I've been able to log on but everything runs extremely slowly. I ran my McAfee and it found nothing.

I restart and log on -- still slow and do it again and then eventually, I get a working connection.

What should I be looking at? Or is this just what I should expect? (Even though it hasn't been like this before.0

Does it (or something similar) show up under the Startup tab when you run msconfig?

That's how the HP people told me how to fix it when I got online assistance. It only worked temporarily, though. This fix seems to have worked for good.

The only question remains is why HP would bundle this piece of shit software on their computers in the first place.

I have an opinion. Mostly to do with the quality of HP overall. This doesn't really surprise me.

sumi, are there a lot of things that are loading, like in the bottom right-hand corner of your taskbar, when you start the computer? It could simply be a lot of processes running continuously from startup to shutdown.

But why was it working before?

But I will take a look at what's in the start up and take out a few things.

Can anyone recommend simple, web-based software for scheduling resources, like group study rooms in a library? Open-source would be great, but they might be willing to pay to purchase something if it was a good fit. Alternately, is this something that would be easy for a decent coder to write for us?

There's ORS [link] with the disclaimer that I know nothing about it beyond the fact that it's on the first page of google results.

Also, this sounds familiar somehow....
