Software - May 2007

I am looking for a new laptop and don't want Vista. I like XP but have only found ones with MCE installed. Is it essentially the same system as XP as far as running programs? Thanks.

I recently un-installed a trial version of Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro.
I still can automatically open pdf files on my computer and company intranet with Acrobat 7 Reader.

I have a floppy disk that was formatted on Win98SE and now I cannot read its contents on a computer running Win ME. I cannot even format the disk on the new computer. I keep getting a message that says something like "capacity of disk is incorrect". I need to get to the contents of the disk. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Sometimes I will end the one that is resident and taking up the most memory, but nothing apparent happens to my PC.

Yet, on occasion, I have ended this process and have the joy of windows telling me it'll go bang-and-bye-bye.

It all seems rather...arbitrary - but I know with PC's that can't be the case...

...or can it?

I run XP Home on a wreck of wires powered mainly by rubber bands and blind faith.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can enlighten me...

i hate this
when i download stuff mostly more than 50 megs, and the download is 99-100 finished it seems that the file is being copied from a folder named XVBNLWI or whatever random name and then to the download folder where all downloads go

thats a temp folder right? the CXVDFHD whatever...?

it slows down all by copying all the files i download...is there a way
to stop this? to download Directly to the download folder so that the file just downloads thats all

Thanks! :)

Hi ^^ I have a removable disk..like an external hard drive and there is a file inside which is 20GB's full of random files I can't open. I can't delete it though and whenever I try to delete it, it pops up with something saying, 'The file name you specified is not valid or too long. Specify a different file name.' Could someone please tell me how to delete this file? Because it apparently is 20GB's and i need to delete unnecessary crap ^^ So thanks in advance!!

I have this segment on my desktop. It's approximately 6MB.The 'Icon' is labeled: VTS_02_1.VOB and plays on my computer using "Cyberlink PowerDVD". It won't play using any other media such as Windows Media Player, QuickTime, etc. I manage to compose an Email and attempt to add this attachment but when I try to attach it, I get a full screen message telling me that 'I may not be connected to the internet'. Or, 'I may have misspelled something'. Do I need some special software that will allow me to share (send) this with family and friends? If this is the case, can/would you direct me to a source that might be able to accomodate me? Maybe I just don't know the procedure necessary to do this.
My Operating System is 'Windows XP'. Any assistance you might give me will be appreciated very much.
Thanx in advance...
