Computers & Internet - 1 August 2006

For those of you who are technology-savvy, I am sure this will seem like an dumb question. But I am wondering... who (what government agency) runs/regulates the internet?
I ask because I read a really disturbing story on Yahoo the other day about a girl who was adopted from Russia (by Americans) and used for a porn website. My question... why can't such websites just be shut down by whoever provides the means to connect to the net? I realize that some of these websites are based in other countries, but if some hacker can shut down myspace, why can't illegal sites be killed off (or somehow corrupted) with all the resources the government has? I'm not talking about legal adult-oriented websites. I'm talking about the ones with illegal content. If nothing else, it would seem like search engines could block such websites.

I installed a game right. Ok, when I click on the icon for the game on the desktop or on the start menu, I hear the music for the game, but I still see the desktop. WHen I click on the icon for the game in "my computer" the setup wizard starts up again, even though I've already installed the freakin' game. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong with this game. I just bought it today, and was all reay to play it, but then THIS started happening. Its frustrating. You have to email tech support instead of talking to them in a libe chat. Any, your help would be MUCH appreciated!!!

It uses different email addresses each email so my spam protector is not catching it I am really frustrated with this. someone help me please!!

This commercial ran quite often. It said it can teach anyone to use a computer in 1 hour. It offered Windows, and other various programs. There was a money back guarantee in this offer if you could not learn it. I need to learn to operate Windows, because I am starting college soon. Thank-you so much for anyone that can get me the phone number to order this product.

I only have my desktop and after hitting ctrl+alt+del, I can access the task manager but nothing else, no start button , no right click pop up menu, no desktop icons. I tried hitting F10 during startup and running the hard drive check but the test fails. I also tried reinstalling the start up disks but the computer does not recognize them (no dialog box appears just nothing happens).

I did run a virus scan before this all happened and the virus software found a trojan and I thought it was deleting it, then my computer froze up and I needed to reboot it. after the reboot everything was (and still is) gone.

Please if anyone can help offer any things to try I would really appreciate it.

So, how do you shrink photos and save them in a smaller format on computer? Who does that and why? Also if that's done and then later you want to print it, do any resolutions, pixels, sizes, or anything need to be changed before hitting print, choosing size you want it to print, etc? Thanks

I have no Idea how to do this stuff. I looked around for questions like this but they all just said "Make sure its in MP3 form." How do I get it into MP3 form without downloading anything? If you can be specific I would appreciate it. I'm good at music but not at computers.
