    how do I change default jpg viewer from media player to infanview

    I have 3 issues relating to media player: 1. I want to keep media player as my default audio/video player, but I don't want it as my default static picture viewer (jpg & bmp files etc.), or when opening internet pix. 2. I would prefer (I think) to use version 7.1 rather than the XP default...

    I have heard some rather nasty scuttlebutt that has me quite apprehensive. Specifically that my previously purchased microsoft office products (word, excel etc) used on my 98 machine will not work on my XP machine. Now this is software that is/was originally bought/registered by me 3 years ago...

    need alternative to email attachment for sending a pps file

    The government recipient to whom I want to send this pps show is behind an email barrier that prevents them from receiving email with attachments.

    Microsoft Backup program with OS W98SE

    Hi all, I am struggling to find a usable backup program that is not too complicated to use. I tried Backup Plus and Retrospect 6.5 and finally the backup program provided by Microsoft with their OS W98SE. Both the first two were too complicated and expensive to buy (about $100) after a 30 day...
