Computers & Internet - 9 October 2007

i'm having trouble sharing my mom's computer's internet connection with my computer. i have a linksys wireless router but i'm actually connecting the two computers through the router with an ethernet cable. i can't seem to install the router correctly on my mom's computer, it won't get online when hooked through the router. she has windows ME, which i know is the first problem, but not one i can do much about, and also, when the PC starts up, it shows a username and asks for a windows network password. she bought the computer used, so we dont know the password. we just cancel out the login box. could this be why i can't install the router correctly?

Does anyone know how to change the default font when I want to insert a comment into a cell? The font for the individual cells happens to be arial10, but the default font whenever I want to insert a comment seems to be "Tahoma 8", which is too small. I'd like to change it to size 10 and if possible to arial. Thanks

Whenever I open Internet Explorer (I am a firefox fan, I use IE to download programs) msn.com, which is my home page, is not displaying properly, all the links that would be in a tab or on the sidebar would be in a list, without the backgrounds.

I upgraded my laptop's RAM from 512 MB to 1 GB. The Best Buy guy said I could just replace it and turn it on. The computer doesn't do anything when turned on now. I tried putting the old one back in and it still doesn't show anything on the screen. Is there any way to get this working again!?

(it's an HP Pavilion wih XP upgrading to Kingston DDR 1 GB)

I made an AMV for Bleach, but it is not in the right format to put it on youtube, myspace, or anywhere else. I need to make it into an mpeg or something more compatible. it would not let me save it as anything, but a movie maker file. I was just wondering if anyone out there knows a program or how to convert it. I would like to know a way that is cost effective, meaning free. Thanks.
