 | I use the Windows version, not the Mac version, and it's simply a matter of choosing, from the Word menu system: Insert -> Picture -> From File and browsing to the image required. Is the Mac version diffeent to that? Moved to the Mac section, by the way ;) |

| | You need your own copy of Windows XP. Make the necessary changes in BIOS to allow the system to boot from CD, pop the Windows Cd in the drive and reboot. Proceed to install Windows XP. As was stated, you can't transfer a Windows XP installation from one system to … |
| | I'd have to agree. The problem you describe is not a 'feature' of Service Pack 2 by any means. You almost certainly have some form of virus or malware on your system, and the installation of the Service Pack has brought it to the fore. Cleaning your system of 'nasties' … |
| | Some people might be surprised to hear it, but computers aren't everything! Matter of fact, they've receded right into the background for the time being, with the Olympics well under way. And I'm thoroughly enjoying a break, and sitting back to watch some fine performances. So far, the 'magic moments' …  |
| | Re: Network setup DuncanIdaho is correct, you only use the one modem, and one of the machines has to be considered as the 'Host' for the Internet connection. When it's connected to the internet, you can also access the internet on the other system. You can't have both systems connected via modem at … |
| | Chewchilla, are you absolutely sure that video capture hardware can't be used under Windows 2000? What's the make and model number of the componet, please? There may be Windows 2000 drivers available for it, that you haven't located yet ;) Windows Me is a terrible OS |

I'd suggest you visit [url="http://www.leadtek.com.tw"]www.leadtek.com.tw[/url] and download the most up to date drivers and applications for the component, and a read through [url="http://www.pcuser.com.au/pcuser/hs2.nsf/web/499AF49BD2B6C2D6CA256E9B006DB11E"]this recent article of mine[/url] may give you some troubleshooting ideas. |

| | [url="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315341&Product=winxp"]This linked Knowledge base article[/url] describes how to perform an 'In Place upgrade', which is what you need to do. It reinstalls Windows over the top of itself, and corrects a lot of system corruption issues such as you have. |
| | I'm not sure what you consider its 'potential' to be, but that FX5500 isn't a card that's up to good performance with the latest PC games, I'm afraid. It's basically not much different to an FX5200, except for the change from a 64-bit memory interface to a 128-bit memory interface. … |
 | Isn't that funny? Here in Australia it was rather quiet at DaniWeb too, for no particular reason whatsoever! |
| | Considering we have members from all over the globe, it would be helpful if people mentioned their location in addition to the online store! Pretty damn useless seeing a link to a US based online store if you live in the UK, now, isn't it? Be nice to be able … |
 | What on Earth do you mean? And who are you directing your question to? Downloading iso's of Windows is illegal, is it not? |
| | Got Norton System Works 2004? It's badly behaved and causes conflicts with SP2. (Chalk up yet another problem caused by Norton products ;))  |
| | Re: computer Hi mate, What purpose is the system to be used for please? It seems to me that you've picked a really poor motherboard to base a system on, if it's to be used for anything beyond the most basic of computing tasks. |
| | Re: Registry Agreed! (That article was written by a colleague of mine by the way :)) In certain circumstances, you can gain some extra performance from windows by disabling certain background services, rather than by editing the registry. You need to be careful with it though, in case you disable services which … |
| | Wallace, the 'Reinstalling Windows' link in my sig will lead you to a couple of articles. One is about preparing for the reinstall, and the other is about performing it. They're both very detailed, step by step guides. |
 | Always run the most recent version of DirectX. If a game install asks you if you wish to install ANY VERSION AT ALL say NO!!!! Get DirectX from Windows update site and ONLY from there. DirectX is backwards compatible for earlier versions and will run them. If a game refuses … |
| | Start Windows Explorer, and choose Tools -> Folder Options -> File Types Scroll down and select the extension for the File type you've been trying to save. (.zip .exe or whatever) Click on 'Advanced' and check the entry "Confirm Open after Download" The prompt should return after that. Let us … |
 | Re: keyboard kaputt Dismantle it, clean it, reassemble it. The 'touchpad' contacts underneath are probably all sticky and gummed up, preventing a decent contact being made when a key is pressed. It's a helluva job. Pity you're not me - the last job like that I confronted was when one of my grandkids … |

| | Haven't got that card in the slot beside an AGP slot have you? They don't work in that one, and in fact you should not really use that slot for anything at all. |

| | No it's not. It's on your system! Work through the suggestions in the "Helping yourself" sticky in the Security forum section, and then post a topic in there if you have remaining problems.

| | It's software. The programs installed are confusing the hell out of things. Got Adaptec? Get rid of it because it's evil! Got an older version of Nero? Replace it with a newer version. Got Packet writing software such as InCD or DirectCD running? What the hell for? Got multiple burning … |
| | Hi, You can't share a scanner. It'd be useless if you could anyway, because you'd still have to walk from one machine to another to load in the document to be scanned! I'll move this to the networking section so you can receive further advice. |

In fact I'd suggest you steer clear of … |
