I was given a few years old laptop, and considering it had been used mainly for viewing porn, I decided to install the operating system from scratch. Using a Windows XP Pro, SP2 disk, it got part way through, then had an error, and stopped. Now it won't let me do anything but continue setup of...

Sometimes it just turns off without warning. I've checked for a loose plug, but that's not it. It's very random- sometimes I'll be doing something when it turns off, sometimes I'm just reading something on the screen. It does it several times a week, sometimes a couple times in a day. When it...

ndiswrapper is not solving my wifi problem, and there was an indication that the driver was the problem. So I've decided to try madwifi, since it seems to have an Atheros driver. I downloaded a TAR file, and was able to have it extracted to a root folder. But I couldn't understand how to...

I have openSUSE, and can't get it to print or use the installed wireless card on this 4-yr.-old HP laptop. I could instead use Mandrake, Ubuntu (or Kubuntu, or edubuntu). It will only be used for internet access and word-processing/printing by guests in our office. Which one is easiest to...

I'm still trying to configure openSUSE to print to our network printer. I can tell it the name make and model of the printer, the IP address, etc. but when I try to test the configuration, I get a message that I am using a different print spooler. I have no clue what I can do about that. Also...

I now have openSUSE 10.3 installed and working. The computer is a HP Compaq nx9110 laptop. I would like to be able to print to a network printer in our office. I have no idea how to tell it where to find the printer. I also don't know how to access the server, or join the network the way I would...

I installed openSUSE on a laptop. When I logged in I got a nice design in green, but that's all. There's nothing to click on. All I can do is shut it off with the on button. So what do I need to do next to get a user interface and software? (I'm a total newbie to Linux, so I need details.) TIA...

I'm thinking of converting an older computer to a Linux system, available for use of our clients who don't have computers at home. It would be used for internet searching, and office-type programs only. Which version of Linux would be easiest for me to install and set up in this manner? And be...

When an employee leaves our company, I'm supposed to put their files and OE email into a folder that their supervisors have access to. I know how to do that, but I'm wondering how the supervisor is going to be able to look at the emails in those .dbx files. Is there a way to see the emails in...

I got this message from a co-worker: For some reason every time Sally emails me, her emails go directly to my "deleted items" folder. I checked and she is not in my "block" list. How do I fix this? I can't think of any reason an email would go to the Deleted Items folder. Where would I check...

I was setting up a new computer for one of our staff yesterday.When I logged into her old computer as her, I couldn't see my flash drive in My Computer. I had to log in as administrator. Then on the new computer, I could see my flash drive , but not the CD/DVD drive when I logged in as her. Is...

We recently purchased a copy of FMP 8.5, to take advantage of the wev view capabilities. I had no problem with setting up the database and web viewer, but the lack of a browser Back button is frustrating. If I click on a link on the web page for a database entry, it goes to the new page. But if...

I've just created my first form in InfoPath. It needs to print in Landscape view, and the Page setup shows that it should be Landscape view. The on-screen margins are in Landscape view. But Page Preview shows it in Portrait view, and that's how it prints. I tried creating a Print Version, but...

Soon we will need to start reporting on how many people we had contact with each year by zip code. The information is in 2 related databases. Each new person has a file in the first database that includes the zip code. Each contact with the person is recorded in the related database by date...

One of our staff used to be able to highlight text to be removed, then either hit Backspace or Delete to remove it. Now, when she highlights some text and hits Backspace, only one character is removed, and the highlighting turns off. Delete still works, but she's used to hitting backspace for...

I'm getting our old computers ready to donate, and restoring the original OS. One had a problem, and I saved its good parts to fix others. The one I'm working on now needed the power supply replaced, and I did that, but when I started it up, nothing showed up on the screen. No beeps either. I...

Does anyone understand what this means? I was running diagnostics on an HP Vectra 800VL desktop, and all other tests passed. This error came with a message saying out of memory. All other tests, including advanced tests of the CPU, memory and drives passed. I have a bunch of these computers that...

I've been working on a webpage that has a title and subtitle in the #top division, then left and main divisions below. It looks fine in FrontPage and IE7, but when I look at it on Firefox, the text in the top div is partly below the area allotted to the div(260 px). (I know this because the top...

We have Symantec AV Corporate ed. 9, and run it on the server in each of our two offices. The offices have a VPN connection. One server quit doing updates a couple months ago, about the time we changed DSL providers, which undid the VPN. I have the VPN working again, now. The console shows both...

I've been upgrading an old Thinkpad (more memory, Windows XP), and it was almost ready to put into use. When I startted it up I got a message: ERROR 02B0: Diskette drive A error. There was no diskette in Drive A, and putting a boot disk in there didn't make any difference. When I've entered BIOS...
