    Search Enhancement Pack?

    Hi Well it seems to have cured itself. When I booted it up today the pop up didn't show and it hasn't through several reboots. Maybe Microsoft responded to the complaints and downloaded a fix yesterday. I don't have a clue. There was no identifiable reference to Service Enhancement in the...

    Using Live Trace in Illustrator CS3

    Hi I found the menu in the layers pallet that let me select the components of the drawing independently. As you can guess I'm new to Illustrator CS3 and I jumped all the way from 8. Any way I got what I needed as far as the fan art goes. Now I have another problem. See my new post. Mike

    Using Live Trace in Illustrator CS3

    PS. Ok I realized once I moved the blades to a layer and placed my guide behind it that the white background doesn't show. So I just need to know how to make the blade so that I can edit them, they are not grouped but I can not move them or chance them as a single object. Mike

    Using Live Trace in Illustrator CS3

    HI This is driving me crazy. I always did this in Streamline when I had older versions of Illustrator. I have a simple piece of line art, 5 shapes in a ring that form a fan like design like a turbo blade. I want to bring it into Illustrator and turn it into a vector graphic. I created a new...

    Computer won't boot or restore!

    Hi Ben I formatted the drive and repartitioned it. Once I did that I was able to do a new install a basic setup of Windows. I then installed Ghost and checked out my backups. It still balked at restoring, just hung up at one point. I finally realized that this problem was because Windows had...

    Question about film printers?

    Hi I have a client that does a lot of screen printing. I prepare the art in Illustrator, and send it to an engraving company who outputs it to high contrast film. For a number of years I have been trying to get them to switch to a system that allows them to make their own film, but they are...

    Microsoft Word question about , +. ?

    Hi Problem solved! This is a good one. LOL!!! It turns out that there was something stuck between the period and comma keys, so that when you pushed one they both moved. Mike
