    lost my "right click" search in windows explorer

    Hi, First, thanks to bcastner for his tips. I finally figured out that it was IE7 (beta) screwing up the search function. I won't be downloading this 'critical update' unless I'm certain that this bug is fixed! basicbill

    creating symbols

    Hi, I have created several symbols that I would like to access in the symbol library. I don't know what file type to save as, nor do I know where the symbol library is located. I am presently using WP 11. Am I able to import my own symbols? And, if so, where do I put them? Many thanks, basicbill

    Overscore?

    Hi everyone, Is there an easy way to put an overscore on a character? In electronics there is an indicator that requires a line to be placed above a letter. I am using MS Office Word 2003. Thanks, Bill W.

    Istbar removal

    Hi, I am looking for some info on how to remove an annoying artifact from my computer. My searching has revealed that it is a trojan called Istbar.CB . Apparently, it has something to do with a toolbar for IE but I certainly didn't deliberately download it. I use Firefox. IE is now automatically...

    win98 loses the cdrom

    Hi, I am trying to install win98se on an old presario 1210. (Pentium 200) with 128Mb of ram. The install seems to go fine until the final reboot and when the desktop appears the cdrom is nowhere to be seen. Not in explorer, my computer or even from the cli. This is puzzling since the cdrom is...

    Importing graphics to WP11 from Word2003

    Hi, This is a cross post, because I'm utilizing 2 separate office applications. When I 'copy' a black and white image (drawing) from Word2003 to WP11 the image becomes very pixellated and has very poor resolution when printed.

    Hi, I have a directory filled with files that have no file extensions that I have copied over from linux. Every time I want to open one the application dialog box opens and I have to manually choose Wordpad. Without file extensions I don't even have the option to make it sticky. They are merely...

    default browser for GW6

    Hi, I can get IE 5.5 to open links in GW6.0 but I would like to use MozillaFirebird instead. When I make MF my default browser no links (in GW email) will open at all. Is this a Moz problem or am I forced to use IE with GW? tia, Bill W.
