corrupted files...

Zook · 01/19/08, 04:13 PM

I've got 2 files that somehow got corrupted and now every time I log onto the computer it keeps telling me they are there. But how do I delete them? I've tried that unlocker tool and it doesn't help. :(

oh and while I'm asking questions, does anybody know of a cheap router that can route the internet connection from an upstairs computer to a downstairs PS3?

Hmmm try doing it in Safe Mode or maybe even look for it in the Registry.

Well, ANY router will work.
I'm not sure exactly how 'CHEAP' you want one.
You can find routers for about $5-20 used..
Or buy a brand new one for $30-60.
A WiFi-N router will set you back more, around $70-200.

But the price really depends on if you are doing hardwired or wireless.
And if wireless, then the protocols are the deciding factor on prices.
(IE>> New stuff is always more expensive than old.)

Ideally, a router WILL cost around $50

Then again, if you had a spare computer laying around that you weren't using... you *could* throw another few NICs or WiFi cards in it, install linux. And use that as a router...

Good. Glad that helped. Usually does the trick most of the time. Good luck with the router.

I bought mine for $39.99, and it works good. Theres the occasional droppage, but its nothing I can't deal with. However, if you don't have patience... I would suggest you put a few more dollars into your wireless router. The ones usually in the 70 dollar range are really good quality connection.

yup thanks, the one I'm looking at is $45 new so I'm happy.
