I've never heard of a way to lock out copy-paste on a file. You can do it in programs or websites through access restrictions, but that's not going to help you with files that are available locally.

Find the folder where your quickbooks data files are stored and copy them to the computer you're using to browse. Restoring them to quickbooks is really pretty simple, just put them back on the...

Fair enough, I know there are applications that don't work well under compatibility mode, but most mainstream apps do. Most people don't need to run really specialty apps that are that old (not to...

Don't know what to say about the Win98 problem, and I have no idea why you would NEED to use 98. Pretty much anything that runs on 98 will run on XP using compatibility mode.

As for the internet...

I'm a little confused here, were you unable to receive emails sent to your gmail account, or sent from your gmail account?

After your PM I noticed an inconsistancy, in your posts you just said that it wasn't giving you a security warning when you turn your firewall off, in your message to me you said that you couldn't...

If you know your way around MSCONFIG you can go to the services and start-up tabs, removing anything that seems to be a reference to your security software.

I'm not really familiar with TUT so I'm not really able to offer suggestions on it's use. The windows installer cleanup tool should have kept either firewall from ever coming on again, so I'm really...

Windows firewall is designed to work in unison with third party security. You can turn it on while another is active and it wont tell you you're at risk when you disable it because it recognizes the...

Abu has a good point. Microsoft has trial versions of most of their software that can be activated. I don't know if they keep trials from outdated versions, but it's worth a try.

Generally speaking viruses aren't an issue until you open the porgram. If you trust your anti-virus software and clear it before you install you should be fine.

To me, what stood out about the new commercials wasn't just that "everybody is a PC" (I knew that aleady, I've seen the market statistics) it was having musicians, artists, and authors: The market...

If you can download a copy of the same version of frontpage off of a torrent site you should be able to use your key....

That's really strange, their website says it's not compatible with windows 98... I suppose they just wont certify it's compatibility, but it will work with the right updates, good luck.

Unfortunately Symantic Antivirus 2009 (as well as most current antivirus software) is not compatible with windows 98. If it's not an option for you to upgrade to a more current operating system I'd...

Outlook doesn't need a local exchange server, you can configure it to use POP3 or IMAP.

This link should give you all the information you need to configure your email client:...

Personally I just use the build in file sharing, but I'd look into samba for windows.

Nixer, His point was that He doesn't need microsoft office, and neither do most current linux users, but it's a big draw-back against mainstream adoption of the OS. I wouldn't use Microsoft office on...

Great detailed instructions geek, but I do want to mention that it doesn't have to be paint. You can copy into any program that can handle photo editing.

Also, you don't need to host the image to...

If another task is active when the scan finnishes it might halt the shut-down process.

I have multiple email accounts on my outlook and I need to keep the sent and deleted items folders seperate. Is there a way to do this?

the "print screen" button above insert on your keyboard will save the image on your screen to clip-board so you can copy it into another program and save it.

A client of mine is having an annoying problem with outlook express. When she hits the send button the whole thing shuts down with no error message. After hours of googling I've only found one...

That's a file for a Mac, .DMG is not a windows format it's for Mac (and I believe can be relevent to linux, but I could be wrong) and the file indicates it's for an Imac.
If you have a dedicated...

As far as I know there's no way. The program will use what it needs to and the OS will manage providing it.

If your software is dropping to virtually no memory usage and not responding it means...

Theres a program called laplink PC mover. I've used it a couple times with good luck. It will move your programs and settings from one PC to another. It's not free, so it's probably not worth the...

The problem with this is that the hardware that your virtualization software will emulate would be different from what the OS on the partition is expecting, so it might not work properly.

I know...
