I have been trying to install microsoft office 2003 pro onto my windows me, and keep getting an error box saying this program requires a newer version of windows. Is there anyway I can "override" this prompt and install the program without upgrading to xp? Please help, I need to use this program for homework assignments.

I would like to transfer some data from a PC to a Mac. I'm thinking of buying an external HDD, and thought this might be the solution I need.

Can format the HDD once, transfer data off my PC then onto the MAC via this kind of device?

Why also BIOSes can't be stored in theROM instead of device manufacturers individually distributing them?

The BIOS is special software that interfaces the major hardware components of your computer with the operating system. It is usually stored on a Flash memory chip on the motherboard, but sometimes the chip is another type of ROM.

One of the most common uses of Flash memory is for the basic input/output system of your computer, commonly known as the BIOS (pronounced "bye-ose"). On virtually every computer available, the BIOS makes sure all the other chips, hard drives, ports and CPU function together.

Hey, I posted this question before and didn't get an answer. Is An airport used simply for providing a wireless network, or does it work as a modem to connect with an internet provider?
I'm in Japan and it's difficult for me to ask questions like this.

And PLEASE, do not cut and past from the Apple home page, I've already looked there, and if I was sure of what I had read, I wouldnt be asking here.

BIOS stands for Basic Input/Output System
The BIOS is a program (also known as firmware) which is stored in a ROM (Read-Only Memory) chip on the motherboard commonly referred to as the BIOS chip. The BIOS is responsible for detecting, testing, initializing and monitoring the system hardware from the moment the system is turned on until Windows takes over.

What is the best HSF to cool my intel PD 805 and quiet. I'm thinking about over clocking some day soon. I was going to make a home made water block out of a solid block of Al I have but I don't know if the Al and brass connectors and water will work together or not. So if you have any info for me on over clocking this chip and a HSF or anything.

i have videos from my camera phone that are in a weird format (3gpp, it will only play with realplayer). unfortunately, windows media player does not accept this file type, so i am unable to edit my videos. does anyone know if there is a website (or program, preferable that i dont have to buy) that could change this type of video format?


thank-you in advance. =].

My friend recently sent me some songs over MSN. They're in a format that's just called "File", like on My Computer under Type it just says "File", not mp3 or wav like it usually is. To play the file, I have to specifiy which program I want to open this file on, so I choose Windows Media Player and the song plays fine.

I want to put these songs onto my iTunes and onto an audio CD, but to do that they need to be in mp3 or wav format, not this crazy general "File" format.

I'm totally computer illiterate, like you can't tell, lol. So I'm assuming that I have to convert it or something with a program, or is there a way to specify the type of file that this is?

I'm so confused, any help would be awesome.

My Yahoo! 360 page displays feeds from those blogs to which I've subscribed it. So does My Yahoo! page and my Yahoo! Mail Beta's RSS folder. Yet they are not all displaying the most current posts available from the subscribed blog? Nor are they displaying the same outdated post. They're all out of synch. Google Reader, on the other hand, appears to be keeping up to date.

Why is there such disparity in the posts being displayed from the same feed?
