I had some item years ago. I would put in, say, my brother's birthday, and could then set it for any day prior as a reminder. This calendar/reminder did not show but the reminder, when due, popped up on screen the day it had been set to. Using this for a Mac, preferably freeware or shareware. No" sticked not the same.

Hi, I have an OLD LaCie external firewire cd reader/writer. It is large, bulky, and blue/silver plastic. It says inside 16x 10x 40x. It also has a usb port, but I believe it was made for Apples. I cannot find this thing anywhere online to possibly download a driver so I can use it! I have Windows 2000. Please Help!

My laptop came with annoying Windows XP, and I've bought some (old) games that won't run on windows XP, I've tried downloading fixes, but they won't work. A lot of the support sites are suggesting that I install an older version of Windows. I have a Windows 95 CD, but it tells me to install from DOS. Thing is, Windows XP doesn't have DOS, does it? How can I install them both side by side without buying some multiboot software thing? I have both versions, legally, surely I can install them together? Can someone please help me, I've been dying to try my new game and this complicated stuff is driving me insane!!

I've got an external HD via USB.

When I reboot my PC with it plugged in, it significantly slows down the boot time - by like 2 minutes.

Why is this? Is it doing something to initialize the HD? What can I do to stop it from happening, short of unplugging it every time I reboot?

Microsoft says I don't have a validation and it won't let me download Home Edition. Do I have to format my computer and lose everything? Or how can I avoid that?

A friend has asked for help - AVG picked this up on virus scan: Trojan Horse Generic.zvx It won't heal or delete and can't be transferred to the virus vault.

I've done a google-search which comes up with nothing. I want to try to keep things simple as my friend's not too good with technology and I've not got access to his pc.

I've told him to unplug from the Internet and do a scan with Adaware which he has already got installed on his pc.

Anyone else heard of this Trojan or can suggest anything else I can do?

★★ SEARCHING YAHOO ANSWERS ★★

◙ Some people say that question askers should first search Yahoo Answers for help before asking their questions. This is definitely not a good idea. It would be if the information was valid. But quite often it is not.

◙ I have searched through some of the answered questions. On many pages there were no correct answers. But still a Best Answer was chosen.

◙ On some other pages the correct answer was completely ignored and the incorrect answer was selected as Best Answer because it looked prettier or the person thought that the answerer knew what they were talking about because they were on level 7.

◙ Many of the answers are by people that don't know anything about the subject at hand. Others are by people only here to get points that are totally worthless and don't care if their answer helps someone.

◙ Prsonally I try to get every answer right. But I'm human and that does't always happen. If realize my mistake I go back and edit it or delete it altogether.

◙ Unless you have been at this along time there is no way to which is the correct answer and which is not. Knowing all of this do you think sending people to pages like these is a good idea? Instead why not just give them the correct answer and move on with your day?
