Supplier keeps shutting me down
Comments (15)My first guess is dtv is shutting you down on purpose as they have sold more bandwith than they have.My second guess is a the updater theory avast,windows update,etc,etc 200 mb aint much I can do that in about 30 mins of my usual browsing, ebay,email. I would unplug the router every night (or anytime I wasnt using it) or maybe for a couple of days and see if it gets better once you start using up your bandwith I feel dtv just puts you on automatic lockdown as they cant possibly keep up with every customer individually. I am moving shortly and will have to go the satellite route also I think I will have to bite the bullet and buy at least the home office package its expensive but we are going to discontinue satelite tv service to pay for it....See Morecomputer randomly shuts down...
Comments (18)Thanks everyone for the best shot and trouble shootin....i have been trying to keep track of whats happening. Here's what I have noticed---Sometimes it just freezes, mouse, keyboard-does not respond to control-alt-delete at that point. Then I push button for off. 2nd-the computer goes off but the blue light is still on and can still hear running, The monitor is blank though. AGain the off button to make it go off... RAn thorough test on drive and ram-still checking out okay. Anything else I may be able to use for further testing??? I check device manager and event log. Only event log has yellow exclamations...I check out the event online but it just brings me to a generic page-then Im lost.... Will keep eye out on this-I think I read somewhere that the video card with same symptoms can cause what it does. I guess I just don't understand. It can stay on for hours and nothing happens... Thanks though for all help you have offered!!!...See MoreQuicken - time to upgrade - have concerns/questions
Comments (3)1. The quicken data files are usually in My Documents\Quicken. They'll have names like Qdata.qdf, qdata.qel, qdata.idx etc. If you have multiple accounts, you may have something like stocks.qdf etc also. You can search for files using windows explorer. 2. I think you can only have one version on the computer at a time. If you want to revert to the old one, you can either create a system backup before installing or reinstall the old version and restore your data files. 3. The file format probably changed. Quicken does the conversion during installation. 4. Here is a page that lists a number of financial programs, some of which are free. I'm not sure which ones support Turbo tax. 5. If the file format changes, it changes for all transactions, not just checking. 6. I'd go with the latest release....See MoreAlternatives to Quicken?
Comments (16)WSJournal just ran this article today (excerpted). Mint.com is a free site created by Intuit, ironically enough: Goalkeeping Gets Easier in the Finances Arena New Mint.com Feature Offers User-Friendly Options That Help Savers Set Up Budget Objectives and Stick to Them WSJournal June 30, 2010 "When most people hear the word "budget," they groan about all the numbers and spreadsheets involved in setting financial goals. Instead they procrastinate and continue spending without any specific savings goals. ...Now Mint.com, a website that already offers user-friendly options for studying how one's money is spent, has introduced an easy way to set budget objectives, link them to accounts and learn specific steps on how to reach those goals. The goals can even be personalized with digital photos, like an image of the car you're saving up to buy. And this service, which launched Tuesday, doesn't cost a cent. Mint.com has been around for almost three years and is already used by millions of people. Its proprietary algorithms encrypt data so people will feel confident enough to input their usernames and passwords for their online financial accounts, allowing them to see all of their financial activity in one place. These accounts include those tied to credit cards, banks, retirement savings and others. Mint is known for displaying colorful visuals like pie charts and graphs, so it's easy for people to see where they're spending their money or how it's being invested. Mint Goals is a new tab on the Mint.com site, and clicking on it directs users to a group of eight popular goals and one that can be customized (more will be added over time). The preset list includes goals to get out of debt, buy a home, buy a car, save for college, take a trip or save for retirement. A digital checklist in each goal called "Next Steps" gives people serious, doable tasks to complete, so they can actually make progress toward a goal in ways other than just putting money aside. This instant gratification saved me from doing a lot of calculating."...See Moregirlnamedgalez8a
