I often hear songs I would love my grand daughter to have on a cd and would like to custom create one for her from puter downloads. can I do this ? How do I know if my puter has a burner or whatever it is I need, Remember, this dino, doesn't know the vocabulary to ask for what I want ? thanks and be gentle and descriptive as if I were a child as I love music, but have no idea how to do this but would love to make personal music cd's like for someone whose friend just died, or is getting married or ???? or for my grand daughter, I focus a lot on Christian music, but do all

I have 3 PCs and 8 port switch and DSL broad internet connection. Two PCs have Windows XP and the third one has Windows 98. Kindly suggest as to how should I network all the computers in such a way that all the PCs should also connect to the internet. The main purpose of the networking should also be fulfilled i.e. sharing files among three computers.

I know it's conserving the battery, but sometimes I don't want that. Sometimes I want the screen to be bright even when the battery is being used. Thanks. I could not find the option in Power Options.

I just bought this one, and there was no driver with it. I have one computer with 98 and another with Vista. The one with 98 needs a driver, and I have been looking online for one, but I can't find one. Can anyone help me? It has to be a free driver.

Hi, my boyfriend recently bought a wireless adapter for his computer, the software that came with it is useless though, so it's making it a real hassle connecting to our router. The thing on windows XP isn't very useful either so I was wondering is there some kind of free to download software that helps you to manage your wireless connections and could help? The software that came with it is by Belkin and makes it really hard to set up all the right settings like the password etc, we know the adapter is working because it has picked up our network with full strength.

Problem! As of tomorrow (28th Sept) Orange are cutting off my broadband Internet access (private reasons). I want, like, if it is at all possible, to replace Orange with another ISP as soon as possible. Demon will take 10 days, Zen 15 days, etc.

Question is, is there an ISP out there (a reliable one) that could offer next day or 48-hour access?

My program has a main window and a popup. When I put onclick or onsubmit events in my program to call a function in the main window, it calls using the window.opener method. Once inside the main window function, I would like to write to the popup.But the function does not work...eg. dispwin.document.write("Hi") doesn't work. instead im able to use something like alert("Hi") in the function. this doesn't help.

am hoping to start a discussion about the ntuser.dat file in XP. This would be located in the C:\Documents and Settings\username directory. It's a file that is supposed to maintain the registry settings. However it can grow to tremendous sizes. It continues to grow even if you do not change the registry. Being the curious type, I had to find out what is in this file. I tried opening it using FileAlyzer (from the makers of Spybot) but it would not open as it was being used by another process.

What I had to do was create a new user account for myself with admin privileges. At this point I noticed the ntuser.dat file in the new account is only a few hundred kilobytes in size. Then I began the process of deleting my original user account. During the user account deletion process, you are prompted whether to delete all of the users files or to save them. I chose to save them. The user account was gone, but the subdirectory was still present in the C:\Documents and Settings folder. Directories such as Application Data, Cookies, User Data, WINDOWS, etc were still there. But more importantly, the ntuser.dat file was still present. It had grown to over 5MB. I tried opening the file with FileAlyzer but it wouldn't open. Even though the user account was gone, the file was still locked by another process!!

To take care of this I had to restart my computer and enter "Safe Mode with Command Prompt" in the Administrator account. Using DOS commands I was able to unhide ntuser.dat and then rename it ntuser.txt. After restarting the computer I was able to open the file with FileAlyzer.

I found listings for such things as keys pressed, windows opened, window sizes, resizing of windows, scrolling positions, addresses, files opened, files saved, registry changes made, programs opened, links, etc. I am not sure if all keys pressed are retained in the file (such as typing an email or a notepad document). In FileAlyzer, strings are in a left frame and are very brief. Double-clicking on a string takes you to its location in the right frame, which shows both the hex dump and text. However, a good portion of the text was coded as if you opened an executable in Notepad. But program names and file names were easily read. I have read elsewhere that this file also stores such information as passwords, form data, etc. In essence, the file contains a complete account of what I had done on the computer since I started using Windows XP.

I'm just wondering how others feel about this type of recordkeeping being done by Microsoft without the knowledge of the user, and if anyone has any other information about how this file is used by the operating system.
