Computers & Internet - 17 December 2007

I have a laptop, Gateway, and it doesn't let me open Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003, or Microsoft Word 2003 without a serial number. To type up documents I use Microsoft Works, but I don't think there is a powerpoint option on it. Is there a powerpoint option on Microsoft Works? How can I get to Microsoft PowerPoint? or any other powerpoint system? any q's/confusion ask me please

help MUCH appreciated

I want to print a powerpoint as a text outline. I do not want to have funky text, it would be nice if it looked like I just typed it up in Microsoft word. Thanks!

I have the 2003 version of power point, and I need to play a video during my presentation. I inserted the video into my presentation but it won't play and it says that the program does not recognize the file. The video is from my camera and it can play on quicktime in my computer. But when I insert it into powerpoint, it won't play. I don't know what type of file the video is in because when I right-click on the video icon, it doesn't tell me the type of file. What do I need to do to make it work?

They also won't let us pay for another ISP, so that's out too.

I need my own internet, plain and simple. The home network is now "compromised" and my parents think that now (100% out of the blue) downloading is more dangerous than ever and we'll die if I download a movie, album, webpage etc.

The question is - How do I get it? I really don't care if I rent a hellhole apartment so long as I can get an ISP in there to hook up 5Mbps service. What are my options? Get a network card from my phone service provider? Does Alltel have a Mbps network? Doubt it.

What does that leave me with? Anyone ever been in this situation before? I'm sure I'm not the only college student who goes over his 5GB/week quota. Any ideas at all here guys and girls?

I bought a macbook pro in October and the 90 day free telephone support service is about to expire in 19 days. I just wanted to make a list of questions that I could ask them concerning various issues with the macbook pro. Any common gripes or queries that you mac users out there have, or any insightful questions that could make my experience more simplistic, are appreciated. After making the switch to apple I just want to become an expert with this operating system.
cheers

Lately, when I log on to myspace, the browser keeps freezing. Do you think it's the site? The last thing I did was run adaware program and I also deleted temporary internet files. Do you think that might be the site that's having problems?? What's wrong with it?

They use a software called bluesocket. I have a hell of a time getting the logon page to come up. It is like it is random when it will come up. Laptops running windows xp get this page every time but laptops running vista don't. The IT department of the school doesn't even know why windows vista doesn't like bluesocket. any help would be appreciated as this really drives me nuts.

I just installed Windows Server 2003. somehow I cannot connect to the Internet. I have tried finding wireless and LAN but I couldn't find any of them. I thought there was no driver so I inserted driver and tried but my computer still not see them. When I tried to set 'network connection', there is only one choice that is 'connection to modem - dial up'. I use ADSL so I cannot connect the Internet via dial-up. I don't know why I cannot see any other options when I click 'network connection'. Could anyone help me please... I would like to connect the Internet by using Windows Server 2003. appreciate to any answers :)

i was burning this cd for my uncle in windows media player and at the near end of the burn, the thing brought up an error message that said it could not complete the burn and then said something about try another brand of cd or something like that. It then ejected the cd. Anyways, i didn't know what exactly that meant cause i was burning to that same type of cd all day.

Anyways i tried to burn again using Nero, but they said the cd wasn't empty or blank...and i am confused cause i never burned anything to the cd and when insert the cd and go to my computer and check the memory its completely empty. So could you tell me what is going on here and if somehow i burned a blank cd and totally wasted it.

Last week,my computer said there was an update to Internet Explorer 7.0. Like an idiot, I clicked on it and ever since, my life has become very complicated with computer issues. The whole program/ system is so slow, it is mind- boggling. The Norton online security took twelve hours to do a full scan yesterday. It found an infected file and every few minutes, I get an e- mail stating that Norton found the security risk, followed by another e- mail moments later, stating that the file has been removed. Then it repeats itself. Am I the only person confounded by IE 7.0 ? Once it is on my computer, can it be safely removed, to go back to IE 6.0, or is it too late ? Thank you.

I'm having a problem with our Comcast cable internet. When they set up our service, they gave us the modem and a Netgear CG814WGv2. The Netgear CG814WGv2 is giving me tons of problems with playing games online and disconnecting from the internet daily. I tried hooking up a Belkin Wireless G Plus router to it and I cant seem to get the modem to give the router or my computer internet. I'v even tried hooking up the modem straight to my computer and the problim still persists.

When I try hooking my computer up straight to the modem, it comes up with a window that asks if I'm a customer, or a technician. So I choose Customer and I put in my acount number and it says that Comcast does not support this. Yet, that is the way my friend has his comcast connected and his is working just fine without the Netgear CG814WGv2.

Its as if they blocked us from using anything other then the Netgear CG814WGv2.

What can I do to fix this?

That is what I am looking for, I just bought a linksys WRT54GS wireless router, thinking I would be able to have it in my room with my systems, but from there it could not give an internet connection to my ps3 or wii. It only worked when I took it to my computer and hooked it up to my modem. But since it is farther away, the signal is weak, so my questions are:

-are there any routers that can connect wirelessly to an internet modem?
-Can my Linksys WRT54GS router wirelessly connect with my modem?

I recently (like 3 days ago) got a new laptop with Windows Vista. It's been just a few days but I'm already sick of it. What should I consider before I give up on it?

The laptop is already giving me problems on startup. AND it's compatibility issues are driving me up the wall. Will this get better or worse with time?

Vista users help??
