Search engines don't do well. There are those that do very well, but they cost money. Is there a way of getting someone's phone number and email address or house address without having to pay money?

How much faster is it than the basic limewire?
Has anyone been prosecuted for downloading music through limewire in the UK? Is there a way to avoid being detected totally?

I just bought a new laptop off Ebay. Everything works except the external CD/DVD drive. When I put a disc in it tries to read it, but just keeps spinning until I press eject. I tried many different discs and they all do the same thing. When I press play on the drive icon it just freezes the play function. According to the device manager the drive is functioning properly. I tried this drive on my old laptop and it works fine. Do I need to install the drive or should the laptop automatically detect it? What should I do?

I have a legitimate copy of Microsoft Office 2000 Business edition. I bought it from Dell when I purchased my computer in 1999. I recently bought a new computer and reinstalled the software on the new computer. (After 6 years of faithful service, the old computer was put to rest). Now that I have installed the Office program, I keep getting the annoying popup for Windows Installer. I have
to hit cancel a gazillion times to get rid of it. Any one know a solution? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program already.

I am using XP home edition. I also used XP Home Edition on the old computer.

What I usually do is repair my connection. If that doesn't work, then I'll unplug the power to my router, then that usually gets it back. Any possible solutions? thanks.

The guy at the computer store says it sounds like a hardware problem and I should bring it in. He said something might be overheating. We have Windows XP.

Every time I turn on my computer, the AOL shows up. I never requested their web page, I have always been a Yahoo user. I guess you could say I am traditionally a Yahoo user. I have looked at my view's on the computer bar to try and correct this, but I do not see the AOL link? I see Yahoo. So how can I correct this. I want to get this AOL off of my main page and go back to seeing Yahoo! Canada.

Any help you can give to me, always a Yahoo user.
