My cd drive on my computer is stuck open. It feels like it has come off track (2 year old was playing with it.) I can't figure out how to unplug the cable from the back of it. I don't want to just tug hard and break the cable.

I am working on printing a rather large newsletter (about 1,500 in total) and instead of printing labels and labeling by hand, we would like to use mail merge. So when we open Publisher to get to the newsletter, run the mail merge, and then print to the office's networked printer it takes nearly 5 minutes to print 10 newsletters. Does this sound right or is there something wrong here?

I'm about to change from a PC Laptop to a Mac Laptop, but because of some of the programs I have to use I need to get a parallel version of a Mac.
Can I use the Windows XP disc that came with my old laptop to install on my Mac? Or will I have to buy another Windows XP disc?

hi every1, well I'm not much of a computer expert here, but I just bought a new laptop like one month ago, and it came with Windows Vista. The extra features like the 3D windows and stuff look really cool, but like 80% of my programs don't work anymore!! Whats going on, I always used my software on XP with no problem, but Vista is driving me nuts. Nothing works! I feel kind of guilty, but I wanted to ask for peoples opinion first, should I downgrade my computer and go back to XP???
I mean I have a DVD burner and an external 120gb hard drive... , saving my data is not a problem if I want to format my PCs hard drive to install XP. ... Just not sure what to do.. Am I missing something in here?? Is there like a Vista compatibility patch with XP? should I give myself a few months?? Has anyone already donde this?? Please help tell me what to do.. .. TY

I go to a certain school that doesnt' allow access to a few sites ( like message boards. etc).

I have heard however that there are certain sites/domain names that you can access the other sites from. Does anyone else have any idea what sites I can use. Or is anyone else in the same situation.

i just installed win2k pro on my sister's computer (upgrading from winME, winXP would not set up properly) win2k installed with no problem (did clean install, reformatted to NTFS)

the only problen now is her video card. she has an nVIDIA 32MB GeForce2 MX 4X video card (the computer is a Dell Dimension 4100, like from 2001 or 02) and nVIDIA no longer offers the drivers for this card on their site. i tried to install a generic nVIDIA driver and now her installation is ruined (blue screen, physical memory dump or something like that) and i have to reformat/install. bleh.

anyhow, this time around, i was wondering if there's a better way to do things. is there any driver that will work??? the reason i need one is because she only has 16-color mode and 800x600 max resolution.

any help would be great. thanks=]
