    How Do I Line Up an "object" Under an Image?

    I am trying to line up a mini flashplayer, that I downloaded from a website, under a centered image in some cases, and in other cases to the immediate left or immediate right of an image. This mini flashplayer uses "objects", and I plugged in my local pc (for testing) information. I realize...

    Outlook Printing Background Color on Appointments.

    The novice's questions continues: The Outlook 2003 calendar in month mode is printing a shading and background color for appointments: the shading for the time and the background color for the subject/location. Outlook 2K (that I am coming from) didn't do that. So...is there another setting...

    Why Am I Getting "Diagnostic Traces"?

    I have a new pc running XP. The first time I do something after starting up the machine, I get a window opening showing "Diagnostic Traces". I don't where this is coming from, nor what it means. There isn't any way to include the screen shot here so I'll re-type what is says. Diagnostics...

    How do I Show the Full Week in Outlook?

    Novice question: I just went from Office 2K to Office 2003. How do I get the Outlook Calendar to display all the days of the week equally in Month display, the way it did on Outlook 2K (one column for each weekend day, just as it has one column for each weekday day)? Now, I get Saturday and...

    Can Roxio Drag-to-Disc be Added?

    I got a new PC that came with Roxio Creater DE 10.2. However, it does not have Drag-toDisc. Is there any way that I can get this separately from somewhere? Or is there a way that I can re-install it from my old pc? (There is a folder that says "install" but I can't find which, if any, of the...

    How Do I Stop IE From Blocking My Own Active-X

    Each time I open one of my web pages that is sitting on my pc (for testing, creating, et al), IE gives me a warning that it is blocking active-x. I have to tell IE to allow it each time I open one of my pages, which of course is most annoying. This is likely a novice question but is there some...

    No Visualizations in Windows Media Player

    I just installed Windows media Player Release 9 on a new XP machine. When I play music and right click, I get a list of visualtions. But no matter which one I select nothing happens. There is no visualization. I am also running WMP Release 9 on my older XP machine and visualizations work fine...

    Stop Windows From Switching from Web Page to WMP Screen

    I have WAV files in my web page. I will not make them "inline" as that can be annoying to people to have it automatically play. I want the visitor to decide if he wants to hear the music and if so click on the JPG (or GIF) and hear the music. But I want that music to be a "background" to the...

    Disabling "New Tab" in IE7

    I have "New Tab" in "File" in IE7 disabled on my PC. I got a new PC and I can't remember how I disabled it (it's been a while). Would someone please point me to where that setting is so that I can make "New Tab" greyed out? Thank you [IE7.0.5730.13 XP 5.1 SP3]

    Turning off a Router When Not Used

    I have a Linksys wired router to which I hook up two or three PCs and, of course, my cable modem. Someone recommended that I unplug the router when I am not using the PCs for long periods, such as overnight, when I'm at work or if I go away for a day or two. This is to help the router last long...

    Can't Replace Nor Delete File

    I backup my "Favorites" directories onto an external disk drive. When I went to replace the backup directories with the current "Favorites" directories by "copy", Windows decided that one of the directories on the backup disk was "corrupted". It will not let me replace the directory, nor rename...

    Is There a Way to Get a DVD Screen Shot?

    I pressed pause on a DVD playing in Power DVD and tried pressing print screen to get a screen shot of of the image. I did a "paste" into Paint . The screen shot appeared to be in Paint. I saved the file and when I re-opened it the image was blank. The same thing happens if I use IrfanView...

    Need A Way to Get Accurate Website Statistics

    I've been using the two statistics generators provided by my website host. It gives a full profile of the site (total hits, total visits, top pages, how many times each URL was seen, et al) I added some external CSS styles and now they're counting every execution of each external CSS style as...

    Difference in Playing .WAV on Website in Firefox and IE

    I realize this is a novice question but I have looked through the Firefox Help and I can't find a reference for this. When I select a .wav file from a website in IE, it starts to play almost immediately in WMP. When I select the same .wav file with Firefox, it first does a lengthy download...

    Unicode Characters Not Displayed

    I put the HTML equivalent ♬ of unicode character code \u266C into my HTML (This is defined as Beamed Sixteenth notes though for my purposes any musical note character will do.) When I look at the web page on one of my PCs in IE 6.0, the notes are properly displayed. However, when I...

    IE Puts Space and Underscore between Images

    I have two images next to each other. When I have just image01, I do not get an underscore next to it. When I put image02 next to it, IE inserts a space with an underscore between the images. <A href="Music/Song01.wav"> <IMG src="images/Image02.jpg" border="0" vspace="50"> <IMG...

    Associating a File With a Program to Use For It in XP

    In 2K, when I try to open a file Windows doesn't recognize, it makes a list of programs and asks me which one I want to use. It also lets me select a program that is not in its list (and not in Program Files) and open the file using that program. 2K then added that program to its list of...

    Can XP Be Forced to Retain Stick Drive Settings?

    Is there a way to force XP to retain Stick drive window settings? Specifically, the window size (max) and the View (detail). Every time I put in the stick drives, Windows uses the settings that it wants. I have to change it for every folder on the stick disk that I open every time I use it.

    Looking for User Experience with These Backups

    I'm looking for a good backup software to replace my Maxtor backup that came with the disk drive. It would be nice if it would do an image backup but that's not a show-stopper. I just want something that is reliable. I've been looking at these products: Genie Backup Manager 8, Migo PC Backup...
