Leo's Answers Hello! *** Contents
*** This Week's New Articles on Ask Leo! How do I change the location of Windows temporary files?
Aside from your small C: partition, you're describing a reasonably good set up. By moving your temporary files to E: you should not only get an improvement in available space on C:, but things might also speed up just a tad.

the location of Windows temporary files?" * * * How do I find out who's using all my memory?
If you believe you're losing available memory, or RAM, there are some fairly easy ways to see who's eating it up. And yes, programs that use more memory than they should can easily contribute to a machine slowing down more and more the longer you use it.

all my memory?" * * * How do I make a picture smaller?
I'm going to assume you mean smaller visibly. Perhaps the picture, when displayed, is too large to fit on the screen and you want to make a version of the picture that might fit in a smaller area on the screen. Windows comes with a tool that will allow you to make these kinds of simple changes.

Your PC "A" is acting like a firewall to PC "B", so PC "B" is protected, but from what you describe PC "A" is sitting naked on the internet. This is not good. Get behind a firewall. Now.

Connection Sharing and someone was able to see my main computer - why?" * * * What are Warez? They appear to be free, but are they safe?
This is frightening on so many levels. The site the software was downloaded from appears to be a pirated software or "warez" site. The problem is that when you download from these free download sites you're asking for trouble. And I'm not even talking about legal trouble. One clue? As far as I can tell, there is no "Kaspersky Lab 7.0".

It's typically a sign of a slow or overloaded internet connection, or just a slow server out at YouTube. The good news is that there are a couple of ways to approach the problem.

It might be your video card settings: The images on my screen seem to shimmer or flicker and give me a headache - is there anything I can do? Computers can cause headaches, but it's usually because they're doing or not doing something we do or don't want. In this case it might well be that just looking at your computer screen long enough could hurt. As it turns out, the default settings for many video cards are often less than ideal.

The images on my screen seem to shimmer or flicker and give me a headache - is there anything I can do? *** Thoughts and Comments Thanks to everyone who subscribed to my YouTube video channel. http://www.youtube.com/leonot for those who missed it. The videos I'm slowly uploading are a tad old, and at times a little "rough". In fact this week I ended up re-recording the audio for one of the first because the background hum was so annoying. Anyway, I hope you find 'em useful. • To those of you wondering, yes my Vista upgrade is still planned. But to be honest, I keep hearing enough upgrade horror stories that I want to take it very carefully, so I'm waiting until I have a good block of time to devote to the project. At this point that means probably not for a couple of weeks. Heck, I also plan to order a new laptop so that may arrive with Vista pre-installed before I've had a chance to upgrade my desktop. It'll be a good opportunity to compare and contrast the experience. • Spring has sprung around Ask Leo! world headquarters, the weather is warm and sunny, and you know what that means: fate steps in. Week after next I'll be traveling to Cleveland for a conference. Cleveland, where they're experiencing record low freezing temperatures. It's been a long, cold and wet winter in the Seattle area, and I've been looking forward to some nicer weather. Apparently I'll have to keep looking for a while longer. 'till next time...
