I do not have a land line. I use my cellular because we have a family plan. I would like to have internet access at home through dial-up because I do not use the internet that often. I need it at the lowest price.

Then the pc doesnt seem to be working, it makes less sound, maybe its the hard drive, or lack of power distribution, if i can repair it manually pls give some tips bout what should i wear and what to do and to not do.

I am trying to simply display an image on a canvas where the image is loaded from a JAR file using the AWT package... NOT swing. All I want is ANY sample code that, when run, will display some sort of image on the canvas or frame or any component of the AWT kit. I can't get this to work for the life of me, and I've spent at least 6 hours trying (literally). This is NOT a Java applet, so any applet code will not help.

Ok, I have 2 iframes over a background.
My first question is: How do I make the background not repeat both vertically and horizontally?
Second question: How do I make the background color of the iframes slightly transparent to show the image behind them? Is it possible?

Critical component missing needed to run download manager.
Any ideas?
Also, the following have ended up, mysteriously, in Recycle Bin;
My Documents, My Computer,My Desktop, My Network Places.
How do I get them back to where they belong?
And - if you would like one more challenge - why is Outlook Express always offering to compact messages, when I should have tons of space.
Machine has 1024 MB and 80GB.
Surely that is adequate space?
Thanks for any assistance.
Much appreciated.

I am using Visual C++ 2005 to write code a win32 console application.

There was an error message about the power function when I compiled the code. It is: error c2668: 'pow' :ambiguous call to overloaded function.

The statement is:

tempDistance += pow((data[selectedInstance][k]-data[j][k]),2);

I used various headers like:

, and but the error message remained the same.

What is the cause of the error? I've checked the syntax and it seems correct.
