Other - Computers - September 2006

I had a Microsoft Windows for quite a while and it always got slow and gave up and got stuck and all. It was all really confusing in My computer to change a setting. But my son got me an Apple Mac recently and taught me how to use it properly and it was an awful lot easier. I got MIcrosoft Office for Mac and it's working just fine. I can use and work with all my files just like I used to. And it looked a lot better in my office than a big massive screen.

Somehow I got on AOL and thought I was upgrading my AIM instant messenger. Somehow I deleted the AIM Instant Messenger. Now I can't get my AIM messenger back. I tried removing AOL and the computer tells me I do not have any versions of AOL installed. But I cannot get my AIM messenger back except thru AOL and I understand that they will bill me eventually for their services. I have tried downloading the AIM messenger but it always asks for a screen name and password. I do not remember the original screen name and password and to get AOL to give you the password it looks like I would have to go to AOL as my internet provider. I have a Dell computer--Windows XP. I am 79 years old and really do not understand what is going on as I only use the computer for playing Literati and emails. Please won't someone help me? If you have an email address for AOL, please send it so that I can notify them that I do not want their internet service. Thanks so much. hcooper547@hotmail.com

I have two computers. Sometimes, I copy some MS Word files on a CD and try to access them on the other computer by inserting my CD. Much to my surprise, I am shown that the CD is blank whereas in fact the CD has MS Word files. What is the problem? How can I get rid of the same? Thank you.

I've already asked this once and didn't get any answers. The problem is I've seen people on different blogs and such doing it. They type like this little man flipping you off. It's hilarious! Someone has got to know how to do that out there because I see people doing it. I'm thinking last time I categorized my question wrong so we'll see if anyone else out there knows?? BTW, this is kind of like the typing the little winky smiley face for example. ;-)

Now & then, I've been getting the message when starting the PC up that "one of your disk needs checking for consistency" & then it scans taking little long time.

I'm on Windows XP & has FAT32 partition.

Should the message worry me or should it simply be ignored ???

It's never worked since I opened up the computer, and I just thought I was crazy, but I've even tried it when the computers not frozen, just to take a look at all the running programs, but nothing happens at all... Is this a problem with my computer or possibly a bug?

What does this mean in computer talk? Was discussing why my speakers weren't working correctly, and these were mentioned.. Which may help, or may just be confusing me for the fun of it.
