I wrote some Quick basic programs years ago which my Panasonic laser printer would interpret & print. The printer can no longer be repaired. And I have a huge, valuable data base accumulated which I can no longer output to a printer.
Help!

For example, as yahoo.com is loading, I see +++++++++++++++ in the search box - as if I were holding down that key while the page is loading. But of course I'm not. What is causing this to happen?

I was upgrading my computer but the computer would not boot from the cd. so i took the hard drive out of the computer and insert it into a different pc, installed the os on the hard drive. It worked fine. Then I took the hard drive out of the the computer and put it back in the orginial pc and it does not boot up. I get a blue screen with an error message that says: a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
How can I fix this? How can I get the hard drive to work in the first pc?

I must of hit a button accidentally, as all my MSN, Yahoo, Googles etc. on My DESKTOP when opened are in a "small screen mode." How do I fix this so that it will be maximized again permanently. I can max with the square button at the top right hand corner but it's getting to be a real pain to have to do this time after time. I have a Dell AMD 64, Athalon Dimension E521, Microsoft Windows XP.

I am considering buying a mouse for my laptop.
The touch pad is a little awkward sometime, especially when playing games like Yahoo pool.
But I'm feeling a little unfaithful to my laptop if I buy a mouse. I mean, the main attraction of the laptop is that it's all right here in one compact unit. Buying a mouse seems a little like a hypocrite. Do many people with laptops buy a mouse for it?

Hello there and thanks for looking, i have a strange minor problem i just cant work out, my computer first came with 512mb ram, which for what i used had no real memory problems, i recently upgraded to 2gb ram, which as i posted here before that it only reads 1.75gb, 2 people told me the computer took 256mb from it to use for graphics which i thought was real strange since it never did that before even at 1.5gb but couldnt go higher, but im no pro so i just have to believe what i have been told,

now back to my main question:

i recently installed internet explorer 7 to see what its like and actually i think its cool, but for some reason when i visit multiple pages it chews into the memory like a family dinner, not sure if anyone has noticed but once memory is lowered the (file,edit,view) section of explorer dissapears, which never had that problem before until E7, i just want to know is there a problem with my ram or E7 uses alot of memory, any ideas for what i can do, please???

Got into a big discussion with a Microsoft Rep because he said the back USB port is faster than the front one. I said bull**** I dont see how location can affect performance.

What are the different hard drive connections and what are those particular HD's used for?

I have used the older HD's with their respective connections and I recently added two newer HDs with a smaller thin data cable; I have them setup as an array. It all works but I don't understand it.
