OK So I have an old pc that I am giving to someone in Puerto Rico. The pc runs on Windows 98. The person only speaks spanish. I know how to work a computer, but I am not a genius. I never had to do it, bu t I thought I could change it to spanish, now I see that I can't. I changed the keyboard to type spanish letters & I also changed the date/time/currency to Puerto Rico. & I made the computer multilanguage compatible, but I cant get it in spanish. Now I am wondering if the computer needs to be in spanish or if the system(windows) needs to be in spanish. If it is the computer, obviously I cant change it. If it is the system please advise what I need. Thank you, The most helpful gets best answer.

I just bought a new "hp LaserJet 1018" printer. It's connected properly to the computer and the ink is new and inserted correctly. However, it won't print. I type a text, and select print and absolutley nothing happens. It doesn't even take up the papers I put in. Why is that? Can anyone please help me and tell me what I can do to print? I'd really appreciate it, thanks!

I set up a wireless router for my apartment, and I have been having trouble with connecting a computer to the router. The computer connects to the internet, but it is not assigned an IP address. This problem also occurs with connecting the computer directly to the cable modem.

The computer is fairly old, but is running windows XP. It has successfully connected to a cable modem before.

I have an Airport Express base station. I am able to use the wireless connection it supplies with both my iBook and my PC no problem, however on my Mac G5, I can't! I have an Airport Extreme card properly installed, it's right there on my System Profiler, yet it can't find ANYTHING to connect to - even though in this area there are at least 4 networks including my own that my PC has no trouble seeing. I am tearing my hair out here!! Help!!

Check to see if the first 10 characters of tacos.txt is equal to '1234567890' and if it is, run the command 'ls -a'. It needs to run every time the machine boots up!

It is a Fujitsu laptop. 3.2 Ghz and 1GB memory. When I turn it on, it would go through the Windows startup screen and then go to this black screen which says it does not detect the last boot (or something like that) and it gives me option to start Windows normally, or go the last known Windows setting. I have tried both, but it still goes back to the restart mode and goes through the Windows start up screen and comes back to the same message. Can anyone help and let me know what is wrong? Also, I tried inserting the restore disc that came with the laptop, and it hasn't done anything either... I have some things saved on the laptop and I would like to not to lose it... Please help.

My company tracks my online activities, I wander what is the best ways to check private email such as gmail, hotmail, yahoo mail, etc. at work without getting caught?

I also understand using web anonymous or proxy anonymous software does not help. All online URLs are tracked and recorded before it reaches the proxy server.

I am thinking getting some kind of small device that I can bring to the office daily and check my private email without going through the company ISP. What is the cheapest device I can get that allow me to check web-browser based emails and perhaps shop online?

I think of getting a small laptop and subscribe the wireless broadband services, but the laptop seems like too big to bring to office daily. I also thinking of getting an I-Phone, but the reviews was bad at the time of this writing. Any suggestion?

3 times now Norton Anti-virus has alerted me that it has blocked a worm. It says it is a medium risk, and it has something to do with googletoolbar.query something or other.

What kind of worm is this, and why am I being targeted? Is there something I need to do?
