re: Previous Question: Is this the worst website?

It seems to have a mixed reaction, which isn't good - I'd much rather the website appeals more...

I've really done my best - I can't improve it any more cos I lack the skills / knowledge / understanding & time...

Is there anybody out there who could take improving the look of this website (www.the-alternative.org.uk)
on as a project?

It is a good cause but my incompetence is holding it back.

I'm having some slight yet annoying problems with my windows live messenger where my emoticons saved keep goin in a weird order instead of chronologically and my display picture isnt shown until after i sign in etc..
Now there must be a file somewhere for mmsn messenger outside of its folder in program files thats holding this info because no matter how many times i reinstall it keeps coming back. Does anyone know how i can locate this rogue setting holder cause i want a 'new' one?

Well today I went to Big Lots and bought myself a $15 Web Cam (the only one they had) and the Check out lady said she had one and it worked well. So I took it home and put in the disk and installed everything the way they said, and then I plugged the cord into the spot on back of computer (just like picture in manual) and plugged in the headset. Well then I decided to try out the software that was just installed to make a video but it said somethin like "Cannot connect to video" But it does record the sound. Grrr. So I went back to the Big Lots and asked if I could exchange it to try out another one in case it was damaged and so got home went through whole process and same things happening!! GRRR! Well just wondering if anyone here has gotten this web cam or knows more about computer than I do and can help me out. Thanks in advance.

like say a cute girl sends a request to be a friend.Do you wait for her to reply and say thanks for the add how are you?... blah blah etc... Or should you accept her and then write her a note back? basically im saying should the acceptor of friends be required to reply first or the person who sent the request since they are the one that want to be friends.

I am trying to build a unit using an ECS 945G-M3 mobo and an Intel Celeron 430 (LGA775; 1.8Ghz; 800FSB; 512 cache) The manual for the ECS board states that it supports Pentium 4/Celeron D/Pentium D processors. Since the CPU is a Celeron 430, is that an issue? I can't get the darn thing to post, and the monitor tells me that there's no signal even though it is connected...and I used the on-board video as well as a PCI-E card to confirm. CPU fan runs, and I can see the light for the SATA hard drive come on, but nothing else happens...not even a beep. BTW, this is the second ECS board I am trying. I returned the first one thinking it was a bad Video controller on the board...could the same thing be happening on this second board? Thanks for any help...

I recently installed an online game, played it, it thouroughly screwed up my computer, so I uninstalled it, but still have many strange problems. For instance, when I start my computer, the background picture comes up and for about 3 minutes that's all that comes up... not the icons, not toolbar, nothing. I can still summon task manager with ctrl+alt+delete, but still cannot access any programs or icons. Along with that, the computer is just generally acting weird. So I heard System Restore was a good idea. I tried that, but no matter what date I choose it always says "could not complete system restore" or something along those lines. Could anyone please tell how to force system restore or something or perhaps another way to fix the problems I've been having? Thanks for reading all of that.
