I stole some gum when I was a kid. I wasn't caught by the store but by my grandmother instead. If I don't have the money to buy something, I simply do without. But if my friend isn't using the...

I need to buy a new computer. When I go to sites that are selling them, I see so many different options that I don't even understand. I am wondering if any of you wonderful people can tell me what I...

Ok it's working now I think. When I kept trying to use the wizard and have it partition and format at the same time, I got these 8mb partions with a huge amount of unallocated left over. Now I have 4...

NM. I asked what I thought was a simple enough question. I will do without or buy smaller externals. I don't want to spend 8 hours defragging a huge hd. I am sincerely sorry to have wasted your time....

I appreciate your reply. HD is connected but useless to me without partitions.

I just got a Seagate 250GB FreeAgent Desktop USB External HD. The problem is that I don't know what to do with it now. Someone told me that I need to format and make partitions on it before I can use...

It was that program that didn't let me see the normal start up screens so I would never see the boot from CD screen. As for all that stuff you are talking about, I have no idea what you mean but I...

DMR,

Is it possible that it was the very same router that affected my service through two different providers? I do live in a city but it is smack dab in the middle of farmland and prairie. The...

Thanks Dani. I had no idea where to put it. I have been reading more stuff and getting even more confused.

I have two different internet providers. One is comcast and the other is a dial up service. Earlier today I got bounced off the internet but chalked it up to my graphics card going wonky since I was...

I looked at it. I even signed up for it. I won't be recommending it to anyone though because of 9 smilie type gifs, that I uploaded, I can only find this one. All the uploaded images said that they...

I don't really reckon that anyone cares what I think, but I am about to put my 2 cents in anyway.

Dani this is an amazing site. And for it to be started by a woman makes it even more amazing at...

Sorry but your answer just struck a cord in me because I just had such a bad worm that my antivirus company sent me a custom cleaner which killed all my file associations. I did figure out how to get...

Excuse me but the idiot has arrived :o with a question :?: about your answer. Pages seem to download a lot of crap onto my machine when I browse the internet. I have gotten worms, spyware, and...
