Ok, here's the story. My friend, who owns a Mac, but who is not a computer expert, was using Microsoft Word. She accidentally hit a key -- don't know which -- and the cursor changed from an I bar into something which resembled lines of script. I know this is not a very accurate description but it is the best I can do. Anyway, no matter where we moved the mouse the cursor continued to resemble the script and we were not able to close the program. We tried a control, apple key, delete, similar to the control, alt, delete procedure you do on a pc to try to end that program, but without success. We finally had to turn off the power completely. What happened? What could we have done? Thanks for any help you can give.

I think I have an interesting problem with thumb drive.

I have two thumb drives both 1Gig.

One of the drives E:\ was getting a bit populate with work related stuffs so I transferred a big chunk of information to drive F:\ approx 410MB of information.
Everything went OK.
Delete the files from E:\ that is no longer required.
Thing went OK until it came to one file S, which the PC say it cannot be deleted.
Not a real issue, continued to delete remaining files.
On completion looked at some remaining files & directories where nothing has been done.
Then I discover a big problem.
Some directories & files were corrupted and cannot be accessed.
Not an issue as most of them I looked at were not important.

Shut the Thumb drive down, took it out and plug it back.
Access E:\, it now says that the Thumb drive is not formatted "Do you want to format?" which I say no.
Then I got a bigger problem!!
So, I re-boot the computer and when I tried to access E\: on Explorer it still said that the Thumb drive is not formatted "Do you want to format" which I say no again.
I did a chkdsk E:\ in DOS and got the message "cannot read as type of file is RAW".
I subsequently recovered a lot of files using various recovery softwares and kept them in drive C:\drive.
Majority of them cannot be opened or fixed by the recovery softwares which were not a problem as I have backed up.
After having satisfied myself that there is not much that I can do with the corrupted files in the thumb drive I succumbed to the “do you want to format” request.
Everything went well OK and the thumb drive was formatted to FAT32 and I started to use it again.
Thing seems alright for a while until I transfer some backup files into the thumb drive.
On viewing files & directories found that all were corrupted & gooly ****. Tried to erase the file but it would not allowed me to do so.
Stop the thumb drive, unplugged and plug it back. Tried to view it on Explorer and got the dreaded message the “Thumb drive is not formatted Do you want to format?"
Checked properties and found that there are more than 400MB of space left in the drive.
Format it to FAT 12 as I thought that FAT32 is not compatible and it seem to work OK, but then the same problem occur all over again.
I checked drive F:\ and it shows that it is NTFS
I tried to format E:\ in NTFS but the system would not allow it to be done.
I was told that thumb drive cannot be formatted the same way as a conventional floppy or hard disk (A work mate did his and it wouldn’t work any more) and that I need to get the detail of the chip which is not possible as it is sealed except to break it which is something that I want to avoid. With the chip information it is then possible to find the factory software to have it re-formatted.
Unfortunately I have lost the paperwork that came with the drive and have difficulty tracing its source.
Have you come across such a problem and are you able to provide some hint?

Ok so 2 questions here

1.) I put a 9200 ATI graphics card into my computer and I got to display properties and there are 4 different selections for the 9200, are are 2 that say default monitor 9200, 1 that says {default monitor} 9200 and one that says {default monitor} 9200 - Secondary. Now it only is letting me use the secondary one right now and I think it is limiting my performance. Any help would be great

2.) I just installed Knights of the Old Republic and I got to configure to test my hardware to see if its all compatible and it says that my drivers are out of date and it says that Nvida cards must have the latest Detonator drivers when I dont even have a Nvidia card AND I have just updated my drivers when I installed the card.

Thanks guys!
