Don't think so
There is Microsoft Spyware which I think came with XP
XP Firewall
AVG Free Edition
MSGTAG - which sends back confirmation that an email has been opened
There used to be Norton Antivirus before AVG was installed

I don't understand why I need to purchase additional bits for PC2 since
PC1,
PC3 and the laptop work perfectly well on the same network - surely there
is
something wrong with PC2?

| We have asked for advice on about five user groups and nobody seems to
know

|
| We have three PCs and a laptop on a wireless network all running
Windows XP
| Home Edition.
|
| We have D-Link DWL G520+ PCI Adapters on the PCs and a Linksys USB
adapter
| on the laptop. They communicate through a Linksys Broadband Gateway.
|
| Previously there was a dial up connection with a D-Link Wireless Access
| Point. At that time we had PC1 and the laptop running Windows XP HE and
PC2
| and PC3 running Windows 98SE.
|
| We had great problems with the link breaking down from PCs 2 and 3 both
to
| the internet and to the printer (Epson R200) which is connected to PC1
by
| USB.
|
| Our supplier told us that the PCs were old and worn out and if they
were
| upgraded and running XP everything would be fine.
|
| We eventually succumbed and we now have new machines so everything is
on
| Windows XP HE.
|
| Everything is fine apart from........... being able to print from PC2.
|
| Small documents - say, a few lines of a Word doc or a small email print
out
| OK but if it is something bigger then it takes forever. For example
printing
| a 165kB PDF file can take over 45 minutes. The printer dialogue box
showed
| the status as Printing...Spooling and the size as anything up to about
9mB
| before it
| printed out. That's if you are lucky - sometimes it will not print at
all. It
| makes no difference which program you are using.
|
| However, if you open the same document via the wireless link in PC1 or
the
| other machines and print from there it will print within seconds.
|
| PC 1, PC2 and PC3 are about eight feet apart (on apexes of a triangle)
and
| the Linksys Gateway is about six feet above PC2. The laptop works
effectively
| up to 30 feet away through 2 feet thick stone walls.
|
| This has now gone on for months and I cannot get any sense anywhere -
the
| most Iget is people say its a Printer Spooling problem but cannot offer
any
| real help.
|
| Can somebody help please?
