does anyone have a recommendation for budget software that is simple and will do what i want it to; not what it wants me to do. I almost just want a empty template that i can fill out and it will add and subtract and categorize for me.

I've seen the previous replys to this q but still do not know how to copy my playlist of recorded songs for the CD cover. That other fellow was right. Why did Micro soft make it so difficult?

I need a fast wireless router for home use that will also allow two computers to print from the same printer. The Apple Airport extreme router does what I need, but at a price. The Apple one works because there is a USB port at the back which allows printers to be plugged in. Both computers then printe from this. It needs to be compatible with both Mac and PC! Thanks :)

I have AVG 7.5 free edition. An answer on YA suggested getting Spybot for free to back this up. Having gone through the process to get this they are now asking me to register and pay for them to protect my PC. Have I logged into the wrong site?
As an internet learner, your advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Im used to web designing using HTML. However their seems to be some popularity with PSD websites whenever you search for web templates.

What am i meant to do with these?

I have Adobe Photoshop but why would i use a Image editing program to change the text on a website.

This is really puzzling me?

Can someone give me a brief description of why these are used and why they are PSD files..

Example, how would i make a hyperlink :/

Is there an easy way to check to find out what dial-up and broadband Internet access services are available in your area? Obviously, it varies from region to region. Somebody else has been providing and paying for my AOL Internet access and likely will terminate it soon.

there is a software that i had downloaded similar to bicomet, and I want to delete it. however the uninstall option that it came with did not work so I couldn't uninstall it the correct way.

Then I opened my control panel "add/remove software" and that particular software did not show up so I just deleted all the files. Now it's poping up like crazy and is preventing me from opening my internet explore, after 10 tries I finally open my internet explore.

So how do I get rid of it? Any helpful comments is very much appreciated, thank you.

What are the main physical differences between a laptop wireless adapter and a desktop one? I think that the ones with an antenna are for laptop only and ones without (just a plug in card) are for desktop?

Thank you for your responses.

i uninstalled Norton but parts of it have stayed, but i now hear that it is a common problem with some of the Norton internet security versions.
Anyway does any one know how i can get rid of the left over components of the program.

if you think Norton is good you must be one of the few people
because I’ve mostly heard bad things.

When I open tabs in internet explorer, after a while of opening and closing tabs, the new tabs will not have the "file edit view, etc" menus. I am using Vista so I'm not sure that has anything to do with it. What is causing this to happen and how do I fix it?

I have been searching and searching and I can't seem to find any information on the game Shapes, let alone where I can buy this game. I don't blame anyone if you haven't heard of it or don't remember it. The game is from the early 90's and was on floppy disk I think.
Here is a description of the game.....
The background is always black and you can manipulate different shapes to create different pictures. The shapes that make up the objects are different colours and I'm sure the graphics are horrible compared to now. It's frustrating me since I can't find anything on it but I don't want to give up. My mom said something about Shareware or Broderbund (if that helps).

Some of the pictures I remember making are ice-cream cones, um a car, a stoplight, and my favourite was a women. This woman was just a head and on the side of the screen there was a menu, I could change her skin colour, hair colour, eye colour, lip colour, ect.

Thanks

I keep getting a notification in the Logoff screen on Windows XP that I have unread mail messages, and I heard of Powertoys for Windows XP. On the download page on Microsoft's website, which one do I download to reset that? Can Powertoys be uninstalled from the Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel?

Lucky for me a program that I downloaded "Instant Reg Scanner"

that would always run at start up had an uninstall option in its folder.
But, before I found that out I did the following with no good results.

I ran regedit
It was not in the registry services .

I removed all Run and Run once keys that had that program's name.

There were only two values.

In Msconfig I removed the program from the start up menu

But, after I restarted my XP computer

not only did this annoying program start again.

It was back in Msconfig and the two values were back in the

the run and run once hives. of the registry

How can this happen?
I thought that run ,run once and services are the only places in

the registry where a program can be made to run at startup.

Thank you
