Computers & Internet - 25 November 2007

PROBLEM: everytime i go to log into my yahoo email account it goes to a "page not found" page and i have no idea why. It works fine on my laptop (im using now). my older brother told me it might be my firewall settings but my home comp. is at a diff. house so its hard to explain. but also i downloaded limewire and i go to search for a song and it says theres a connection error when there really isnt. I am using a road runner cable for internet. I get about 100. Mbps. Is it my firewall or something else? thanks

p.s. it does this for every site i log into except for myspace.

I am in the process of buying a laptop but I will also have to sign up for broadband so this seems to be saving me money (as it all seems quite expensive at the moment). However as I know there is no such thing as a free lunch I was wondering what the catches are??

As title, I make sure I don't move the mouse or press any of the keys. I've notice in my Power Options from the Control Panel that under the UPS (uninteruptable power supply) tab it has an exclamation mark and says the UPS service is currently stopped.

My mouse began to act strangely. When on a web page, when the left mouse button is clicked, the scroll symbol comes up and works likes the scroll wheel.

Other times, the left mouse click may bring up options usually on the right click menu, and the right click is disabled.

This is very strange.

I pressed Download and Save, and saved it to my computer. But when I open iTunes and press Add File and click on the video, it doesn't do anything. Nothing pops up, it just doesn't do ANYTHING.

It's in the right format, too. So I don't understand ... plus I'm not sure if it downloaded the whole thing. It was a long vid, over an hour, and it said something like 200+ MB, but it downloaded in like 2 mins and then it said the downloaded file was only like 5 MB.

That can't be right!

My printer is making all the sounds it should for it to print and you can hear the rollers trying to pick up the paper, and the paper tray is full. After the rollers stop the display shows up saying that it is out of paper. But I have looked and there is no jam and like I said the paper tray is full but not to full. I have trouble shooted what the computer help section told me to do but it still does the same thing. Anyone have any suggestions cause i can't afford a new one and I am ready to throw this one out the window.......please I will try anything.

My 14 year old son wants to build a computer. He is very good with computers, and understands how they work. He has researched everything and says he will use his own money to buy the parts, totaled up at around $670. I dont want him to buy it and end up not being able to put it together. I myself have also read the manuals on how to build computers and they seemed to be understandable. Should I let him do it?

Any suggestions?

OK, it all started when I tried to improve my Zone Alarm. Later on, when I went to youtube I tryed to watch "yourmathhelpteacher" vids but then, there's note posted up saying, "Hello, either your javascript is turned off or you need to install Flash player". I've tried watching other videos but, all of them have the same notification. So, I logged on to Yahoo! Answers I did every advice on other people's blogs but, STILL no Java. What should I do??? I've tried changing it from control panel. I've tried removing it. EVERTHING in customs levels is enabled. THEN, when I went to the Java website it said that "Javascript and Cookies must be enabled so we can message you correctly. Please enable javascript and cookies in your browser for the duration of your Java Installation and verification! Once you have enabled javascript and cookies, please refresh this page!" Now, I can't load the current version of Javascript and now, watch vids in youtube, surf properly, do interactive programs!!! Help!!!

ok, idk what exactly it does, but it wont start up. my friend was tellin me something about an xp boot disc. what i thought he was saying was, this or, this along with something else will delete everything off your computer, even viruses, and you would reboot windows xp. so, if she bought another disc would it possibly fix her computer? if so, please send me a link to show me exactly what shes buying, and where she could get it (including ebay)

also she was wondering if she bought a new hard drive, would that fix it?

thanks

Latley, my Internet Explorer has changed....

Says when there is a link that you click to open the clip in Windows Media Player. Then it used to 'load' Up and then begin to play.. Without me having to right click, save target as Ect.

But now, when i click a link for a video to open in Windows Media Player without saving it, it just comes up 'Internet explorer is unable to display this page'.

How do i fix this and get it back t normal !!?

I got quite a response and I really appreciate it. I followed the advises given to me but when I right clicked the desktop properties, customize desktop, on teh general tab, in the desktop icons, there are only 3 boxed, My documents, My computer and My network places. The Internet explorer is not there. On the middle part of the windows, the only icons there are My documents, my computer, my networks places, recycle bin (full) and recycle bin (empty). I even clicked the restore default and the I.E. icon did not appear. Help...
