I am preparing to upgrade my Windows 98 to XP Home. The upgrade report indicates I need to obtain an XP compatible version of CMI Audio Config. Can't find on Google or elsewhere. Can anyone help?

Thank you Linney! Got my games back without causing computer problems (e.g. still have everything on my computer) I'd give you 5 stars if I could. My correspondence to Microsoft about this issue is not going well. I'll try the Messenger thing when my internet provider's strike is over in...

I tried to delete messenger through add/remove programs and ended up with IE, Outlook Express and the internet connection gone. So, I did restore and it did OK but all of my games are gone (it says empty). I've looked at Help topics but the fact that, for windows components, the add and remove...

Noticed this in an Adobe forum written by someone in Microsoft: http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?13@251.XL4qdz8saCw.0@.3bb6426f

Given the complexity of your problem, probably all you can do is cover yourself. I would communicate with him by email and print it off. If there are future problems, etc., you have the documentation to prove what was said. I suspect, legally, that if it's not written, it didn't happen. This...

The odd thing is is that I have Powerpoint Viewer installed and also, I previously updated to the most recent Adobe reader. It's a mystery.

Also, I found a .pps file on my hard drive, then emailed it to myself and tried to open it on OE. Got the following error message: The File does not have a program associated with it....create association in file options control panel so it looks like that's what's happening with the .pps ones...

Appreciate all of your ideas but so far, not working! Followed the DDEEDEEE and went to a webpage and the .pdf still not working. Tried to open in in OE and nada. Any other ideas?? Thanks so much!

Well, I tried in the OE and allowed all files to open and the .pdf still won't open (tiny little box on right hand corner). I checked in IE in the add-ons section in tools and it appears that all Active-X's are allowed. Is there some other way that you know of where you need to allow Active...

I notice with Windows XP and don't know if it's since the service pack that if I'm in Outlook Express and get sent a .pps or .pdf file, it won't open. I have to save it to my hard drive and it will open there but not on the message. Also, when I go to a website and see a link for a .pdf for a...

I'd suggest you use the "broken record" technique. Basically you say exactly the same thing over and over. So, if it's, "I can talk to you at 1:00". Then, no matter what she says, that is your response. Keep the tone neutral (e.g like a radio announcer). This is about communication process...

Thanks bcastner....I was joking about the WD40. I'll have a look at keyboards. Any recommendations? I have a Logitech Internet one now.

Thanks...would that be with WD40?? Maybe I should just buy a new keyboard......

No, it's a computer built by a store about 4 years ago and upgraded to XP about 4 months ago. This problem started a couple of weeks ago.

I'm having this sporadic problem. I'm missing certain letters when I type such as "g" so, when I spell, missing, there won't be a "g". This will show up in Outlook, Word, etc. Also, the numbers on the left of the keyboard can be effected. This has happened a couple of times and I have no...

Martin, When you talk about magazines, do you mean like cnet and zdnet?

Hi, I've written to the hardware forum but a few of you in this forum seem to know so much about computers! A friend of mine wants to buy a laptop and has been looking at the Dell Inspiron 8200. Does anyone have any advise or warnings about laptops?? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, A friend of mine is thinking about buying a laptop. He's looking at the Dell Inspiron 8200. We'd really appreciate any recommendations/thoughts regarding what laptop to buy! Thanks in advance.

Here's a great page I found that will tell you what all the executing files are on start-up and whether or not they're safe to stop: http://www.lafn.org/webconnect/mentor/startup/PENINDEX.HTM
