I need to be able to receive text messages from corporate numbers (5-digit) on my computer. I do not want to use my actual cell phone, so I need to find some kind of online 10-digit reserved number that can also receive sms messages.

I know that yahoo can provide 10-digit numbers for 2.50/month, but i don't think this has an sms feature enabled. I need an online number that I can have people send sms messages to so I can see them.

Thanks!

I'm fairly new to coding- I know basic HTML, but I want to go on to CSS, Java, and all that and make databases. I've heard mixed reviews about Visual Basic and am not sure about which to get, and what type will train me. There was one I had awhile ago with video-training as an additional download. (It was all free) But I want something that will bring me to a higher level...

My internet is runnning on a LAN cable. I am on a desktop. When i move my mouse, the internet speed goes up to its max, but once i stop moving the mouse, the internet speed drops to almost nothing, like 1-2kBps. It really is like this. No doubt.

Hi,

I'm thinking of buying a laptop in the US rather than in Canada. Canadian dollar is strong now and prices are lower in the US.

But if I buy a computer in the US, will the warranty be honoured in Canada?

I am running on Windows XP and have run into some problems with viruses. My friend suggested I wipe my hard drive. I have found software to do so (Active Kill Disk- http://www.killdisk.com/downloadfree.htm)

I have read over the manual and it suggested before using the software the following should be done:

Will I be able to use my Hard Disk Drive after Active@ KillDisk erase
operation?
To be able to use HDD again you need to:
• -Repartition the hard drive using a standard utility like FDISK.
• -Reformat partitions using a standard utility like FORMAT.
• -Reinstall the Operating System using a bootable CD-ROM.

How exactly do I do all that?

Do I perform those operations AFTER I use the Kill Disk software and then pop in my same Windows XP CD to re-install the OS?

have AVG virus-scan and spyware software and Zone Alarm. All are free...but i still have like 30 trojans on my computer...
because of these I can't access my "Control Panel" or other options to get access to my "C" drive.

I have owned this printer since August, 2007. Both printer and software have worked great on my 2003 Gateway 2.4 ghz machine. Two weeks ago I f-disked my hard drive, reinstalled windows xp & firefox, downloaded the software via HP's website and when the software installation is almost complete, a fatal error message pops up on screen. I am currently communicating via email with an HP rep, however his advice is not helpfull in resolving my issue. My computer recognizes the printer, but the HP software does not recognize I have 'their' printer and therefore shuts down.
