Thanks for the link, JKT. Lately I've been using the desktop more for saving text clippings, so those could be the culprit. Clearly, it's still a serious OS X issue though, and I'v…

Hi, I am a recovering DLink user. I have finally kicked the habit and having read many reports here, am going to embrace LinkSys... I want a wireless router with good range and …

good post i await any responses because i to am looking into a Linksys

I just have a regular WRT54G v4 flashed with DD-WRT. I can use it with speeds of around 3 MB/s anywhere in my house.

3mb/s isn't that a bit slow?

Tomchu said "3MB/s" which I take to be "three megabytes per second," while the 802.11g standard gives us a theoretical max of 54 "megaBITS per second." That is a theoretical max (…

I actually get up to about 4 MB/s when in the same room as the router, or in the next one.

You will have to provide a lot more information. What Mac are you using, and what OS version? What sorts of files are you trying to download, and from where? And more informatio…

Did you by any chance download and install a demo of a program called "SpeedDownload"? When the demo expires it prevents downloading altogether until you properly uninstall the pro…

I think I downloaded it but I uninstalled properly is there any missing file that I should look for it

Recently I manage to find some missing files of speed and I erased it and everything is normal now thanks you...

The creators of Speed Download should be shot.

When I launch help viewer I just get a blank window. I followed the following suggestions, but nothing worked, including reinstalling the help folder: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/…

Dig out your OS X install DVD and do an Archive and Install. Might be a bit of overkill, but it'll work, and will be minimally disruptive to your installed documents/applications.

My Help Viewer does that intermittently. I just checked it by launching Mac Help in the Finder's Help menu and, sure enough, blank window. I clicked over to Safari and launched its…

Apple's Knowledge Base has an article on this. You need to trash the cache, basically. Do a search over there and you'll find it. Tom

By help viewer, do you mean the application-specific help files? (Say, for example, if I go under "help" in the menu bar, I'd get "safari help" right now, b/c I'm in safari.) I ha…

The link the OP posted lists that fix as one of the suggestions so evidently it hasn't worked in this instance (and fwiw, yes, it is far too common an issue, grrr).

I've tried all the methods describe in the link above but nothing seems to work. The main OS help viewer doesn't show anything, nor do any of the applications. I don't use it that …

If you need something prior to the archive and install, don't forget that Help Viewer is essentially a browser. All help files are html and if you look in your /Library/Documentati…
