Other - Computers - November 2006

I was playing a game i downloaded and after changing a setting i pressed start and the computer restarted
now i have gone into system properties and start up and recovery and unticked"automatically restart" to avoid any future restarts
however this is my question 1) did i do the correct thing by unticking the above and 2) why did this happen,,,i have played hundreds of games and this is the first time this has happened,is it a display error or what?
cheers

After successfully bidding and paying for an item using paypal I get a message from Ebay that the item/seller has been removed for breaching one or more of their policies. They say any offers or bids placed on this listing are now null and void. However when I checked with my credit card the transaction had gone through.
HELP!!

i can't figure out how to email a link to someone without copy and pasting the link in an email message that I open beforehand. I use outlook to manage my email. In the old version I beleive when you right clicked, there was an option to email link. now there is no such option. Nor is there a button on a toolbar which would automatically open a new message in outlook and the link is already in the body of the email and all you had to do was pick a recipient. anyone know how to do this with the new version 7?

I'm and old man, 77 years of age and asking for genuine help.

I have a hand written list of names and addresses ready for my Christmas Cards.

However, because of illness, writing is now difficult for me.

Please tell me where I should type my list of names and addresses and then be able to use the typed list, to print off individual labels with the names and addresses.

I have Word XP on my computer and also Microsoft Word 2000.
(Years ago I used something called mail merge, but I have long forgotten how that was used.)

Replies in plain, simple and jargon free languauge will be much appreciated.

Hope someone can help me.
