Computers & Internet - 26 October 2007

I only want it for a few weeks, and I'm willing to pay a reasonable fee. I am a Verizon Wireless Broadband Access customer, but Verizon does not offer DSL in my area and do not provide their wireless internet customers with access to verizon.net (and they can't tell me why not).

This morning i went to print a document from my email and when i turned on the printer, it had an error message asking me to insert the right cartridge. when i opened up the printer, it made a loud screeching noise while it moved to the left. i noticed that the right cartridge plastic holder was missing! (im talking about the thing you press down on to secure your cartridge)

This is really confusing to me because the last time i changed that specific cartridge was a couple months ago! It was printing fine yesterday. I have no idea why it suddenly snapped. I don't even know where the plastic holder is! I only see small snapped pieces of plastic

Windows xp on my computer got a virus and it messed things up. I got rid of the virus but then windows didn't work very well. It let me log on and stuff but things like internet explorer did not work. So I tried to do a repair reinstall of windows. I used a friends disk and the key with that is on the sticker on my computer. Installation was going fine, then it asked me for the key, I input the key and it is not working. What do I do?

Having gone all over the nVidia site, I am totally confused and don't know what I am meant to install!

Any help you can give would be bloody great. Thanks!

Somebody has hacked into my account and have written and sent explicit emails to just a few contacts in my address book, using details (like where I live) from my sent box (I think). This really is a malicious attack which has caused some problems.

Also, my banking details and a range of personal details and passwords are in the inbox.

Very worried! I have found a report abuse form for those with @gmail.com suffixes but I have a @googlemail.com address so I can't use this form.

I have heard Google aren't much help, I spoke to a secretary at their office in London on the phone who refused to help, fobbing me off with an email address.

Who to contact, the police?

Thanks for your help in advance! Cheers, Tom

I'm just trying to find out what most people do to create dynamic web pages on their Mac. (Web application software, web page editor (dreamweaver?))

Thank you!

Just got a different office PC and it has Office 2007 Pro installed. The user interface and screen layout bites the big one. In Office XP, I had all my toolbars customized and laid out so the would work for me. There does not appear to be a way to lay out the bars the way I had them before and also use the small icons. The new layout take up a lot of valuable screen area and have to jump back and forth between menu option to get items I want instead of allowing me to create my own custom toolbars. The cell lines in Excel are almost invisible. There are no drop down menues for such items as File, Tools, or even Help. I think I would rather have my old PC back then to work with this ill-conceived version of office.
