I have a used PC with Google Earth on it. I believe it is some sort of Map software?? When I open it, it gives a message that says " we are unable to connect to the Google Earth servers to activate your account", after I close this dialogue box, the software opens up and I see what looks like a galaxy spinning, also there is box that is used for a zip code, but it wont allow me to type anything in it. Is this software active? What exactley is Google Earth. Is it free? How do I use it? Should I delete it?

I want to have my monitors independent of each other - dual view. I do not have a second monitor hook up on my pc. My current monitor is analog as is the second one I want to add to my system.

I tried a "Y" splitter - but that just allowed me to create a clone of my monitor. It did not provide a dual (separate) view.

I have Internet Explorer as a Browser, But when I open certain programs on my PC to download updates, it opens up in a Netscape Browser. I would like to only use IE. Is there a simple way that I can configure this? Do I need 2 Browsers?

If table A has a autonumber data type, and it's the primary key in table A, and then it appears in table B as a foreign key, with the same data type of autonumber, [ with table B already containing autonumber for it's own primary key], i get an error message that "no more than one autonumber allowed in the same table". Table B will save if I change the foreign key to "number" data type. Does this sound correct? I'd like to start using autonumbers more and more if possible. thanks.

Alright, there are a few things holding me back from buying a Mac, so if you consider yourself an expert of sorts your input would be appreciated.
1.)I already have a copy of Microsoft office for PC, could i just install that on the make and bypass buying office again for mac?
2.) many of my programs are PC exclusive, like zune, can i still run zune on the mac as long as i run it on the PC side?
3.) i know macs can run both, do they come with windows on them or am i gonna have to cough up 300bucks for vista?
4.) How well do they stand behind their products, I've had negative experiences in the past and am a bit unsure about commiting to these people.
5.) i download a lot of music and movies, would the mac prevent me from doing so just because its "illegal"?
6.) is there any anti-virus for macs? i do a lot of dumbshit on computers.
7.) does anyone know where to get one with a reasonable price?
I want a black one with 2GB RAM.
Please Help
Thanks:-)

Back in October I made the mistake of letting my younger cousin use my computer for about an hour.
After a week of fishing out and getting rid of viruses we ended up having to do a full system restore, and start from scratch.
I was able to delete the old files from the two other users on the computer, however I cannot open nor delete the files from the remaining one.
I've tried disk clean up, defragmenting my computer (its not changing anything) when I try I am told access denied, however I am computer admin and nothing seems to work.
Any suggestions?

I just bought a Widescreen monitor for my computer. I am currently on the 1024x768 resolution. Buttons and everything seem kinda big. But when I switch to 1280x768, it gets worse. Then when I switch to 1280x1024, everything is WAY too small.
My screen's actual resolution is a 1440x900. How can I adjust it to that resolution?

Does that software really work?
Or does it just give you the same results?

I can't get high speed internet where I live (Except by satellite which is MUCH more expensive than anything else). My only other alternative to dial up is wireless broadband through Sprint or Verizon. I found a place that offers it for $50 a month and say they can give me speeds of 500k-1.5M. I was wondering if anyone actually has Sprint wireless broadband and what speed they really get.
