Save yourself a lot of trouble
If you get a pop up on your computer saying, "You're infected! Download Antivirus 2010 [or something similar] to fix it!", DON'T DO IT! It's a trick. As soon as you click on it, you're infected. Here's an article on the subject.
To kill that pop-up, right-click on the taskbar (at the bottom with Start on the left and the clock on the right), choose (left click) Task Manager, make sure the Processes tab is at the forefront, right-click on the process named Antivirus 2010 (or similar) and choose End Process Tree.
Then download and install MalwareBytes from http://www.malwarebytes.org/ or mbam-setup.exe from my site here. You might have to restart into Safe Mode and install it. Then do a full scan. For me, a quick scan detected and said it fixed it, but the malware had regenerated itself. AVG Antivirus, Superantispyware, Spyware Doctor and Spy Sweeper ALL failed to fix it. In fact, those programs failed to even RUN.

High speed device plugged into a non-high speed port
PROBLEM:
I keep getting the attached display on my computer. It tells me that currently my High speed device plugged into a non-high speed port and that I can move my High Speed Port to a High Speed Port. Question: is moving to a High Speed Port easy or complicated? Is it only a couple of clicks or does it involve adding or changing hardware? Is this something you would do, or something a novice like myself can accomplish?
SOLUTION:
It's most likely referring to your newer (2.x) USB flash drive (or some other USB device) that is connected into your computer's older (1.x) USB port. It's not really an error. If it's too slow, though, you should buy a new USB port for your computer.

AOL through Outlook using IMAP folders
PROBLEM:
Can you tell me again how to move deleted emails to a deleted email folder? The AOL Imap folder just crosses them out but leaves them there.

Special characters in Word Perfect for DOS
It all starts with Ctrl-V, followed by the number combinations shown on the screen that comes up.
For example, the tilde is Ctrl-V + 002, although it doesn't show up on my screen, but maybe it'll work on yours.
The accent grave is 047, the accent acute is 041 if I'm reading their chart correctly.

Windows has been shut down to protect your computer
PROBLEM:
A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to protect your computer. Run a system diagnostic supplied by your HW manufacturer. In particular, run a memory check and check for faulty or mismatched memory. Try changing video adapters, disable recently installed HW or SW, etc..... Begining dump of physical memory.
SOLUTION1:
Reboot the machine into Safe Mode. As soon as it boots up, start hitting the F8 key and choose plain old Safe Mode. Then right-click on My Computer, choose Manage, Device Manager and look for anything with an exclamation or question mark and temporarily disable that. Sometimes, just getting in and out of Safe Mode mysteriously fixes things.
SOLUTION2:
Memory is cheap right now. I would try buying a new stick and putting that in, replacing the old one(s). The problem usually REALLY is what the error message says, and it says you have memory problems. If you'd rather debug it, try this: Remove one of the memory chips (usually easily accessible underneath). Then reboot and see how it does. Then try the other chip all by itself. This assumes there's more than one memory chip.
