A friend of mine doesn't have a home page and when he turns his computer on it goes directly to his Email. This is making it difficult for him to get to web sites. I have a home page but someone set it up for me but wouldn't let me see how it was done. snarl hiss boo. Why is it so hard to get reliable information about computers?

Subject: Jury Duty Scam to get your SS# & DOB

JURY DUTY SCAM: This has been verified by the FBI (their link is also included below). Please pass this on to everyone in your email address book. It is spreading fast so be prepared should you get this call. Most of us take summons for jury duty seriously, but enough people skip out on their
civic duty, that a new and ominous kind of scam has surfaced. The caller claims to be a jury coordinator. If you protest that you never received a summons for jury duty, the scammer asks you for your Social Security number and date of birth so he or she can verify the information and cancel the arrest warrant. Give out any of this information and bingo; your
identity just got stolen. The scam has been reported so far in 11 states, including Oklahoma, Illinois, and Colorado.

I'm getting the error message "Cannot playback the audio stream: no audio hardware is available, or the hardware is not responding."

I've tried some trouble shooting on the internet and pretty much everywhere is telling me to check sound in enabled by going control panel/sounds... and playing the windows sounds.

When i do, the small play button used to play the sounds is not highlighted so i don't have the option to... is this because myu sound card is faulty?

I cant do any re-installing because this is my brothers really really really really old computer & it's a Frankenstein so there are hardly any installation discs, well at least not for the speakers or sound card.

Can anyone help me on this?
