Software - May 2007

I'm trying to install an old computer game on my current computer. It's Gizmos and Gadgets, released about 10 years ago, meant for windows95. I want to install it on my laptop which runs off of windows xp.

i installed it on my computer, but when i try to run it, it says that it cannot locate my/the correct MIDI file. and then closes down. it does not even give me the option of trying to locate a MIDI file.
what should i do?

I just recently installed .net framework 2.0 on an older PC that I had and it and then my PC crashed. I thought it crashed because it was getting old and just too much garbage had been downloaded to it. Needless to say I just ended up putting a new PC together. Last night I had to download .Net framework 2.0 to install a certain program. Not even 2 hours after I had downloaded it my new PC did the same thing my last one did. I formatted the HD and reinstalled my OS and now it works fine again. Are there common problems with that particular .Net Framework?

I know how to hide it, but I want it gone. I just want to turn it off. Can this be done? There doesn't seem to be any options under the Dock preferences.

I was tinkering with keyboard shortcuts and accidently programmed the key for open and close quotes. It now produces ("") when I press the shift key when it should just yield ("). I tried to repair it but repairing brought me more complicated issues!

I have never installed xp as a clean install, only 98. Its for a friend, the one I have asked SO many questions for and I am going to attempt to help her on the phone with it. What my question is, she has 98 with a messed up config.sys file right now and it won't boot up except for safe mode. I am hoping she can install this xp anyway, without having to reformat first. Also, please don't neglect this question: I've been told if you have 98 its best to do the upgrade, but she'd like full xp so please tell me if that can be done simply by popping in the cd and following the commands to do a full install.

I have a copy of windows XP Pro. My mom doesn't speak much english, and she's wants to learn how to use a computer, so it'll be easier if all the menu/icons/text are in chinese. I don't want to buy a new copy of Windows XP in chinese, is there some way to do this?

I read something about microsoft's MUI allows me to do this, but i don't know what is MUI or how to use it.

I have figured out that when I try to run a Full System Scan it always gets stuck on something in "swsetup". The computer freezes and the only way to get out of Norton is to remove the battery. Someone said that there might be a file in the "swsetup" folder that Norton cannot read. What kind of file in the "swsetup" folder is likely to cause a Norton Full System scan to freak out and stop running. Thanks for your help.

My computer says Windows XP on the start screen, but I went to this website recently that tracks your IP and everything and it said I have Windows NT 5.1 . Some of the system files say NT as well. I am using the copy of Windows that came with my computer, which was purchased from hp around 2005 or 2006. I say they are 2 different OS and my brother says they are the same. I know for a fact my Sims Unleashed will not work on NT(It worked on my old computer that had 98 and it says it's XP compatible) and I am thinking maybe that is why it won't install on my computer, because we have NT.(The Sims 1 works fine) Who's right?

I am looking for jobs and I write a lot of cover letters. Obviously, being a cover letter, I have to have software that is almost perfect at detecting grammatical errors. Also, I need software that is very thorough in detecting grammatical errors. Price and where you can buy this software would be great also. Thanks"
