I did go ahead and download this one, it looked good and I didn't have one. Signed up for the email updates to the website too. Anyone else do this?

I have a Toshiba P200 Laptop. Question 1. I wish to connect it to my Sony TV via the HDMI socket. The Tosh manual just shows the HDMI cable plugged in and says audio will be output to both PC speakers and the TV. However I get no sound from the TV. Looking at the TV manual it shows an HDMI cable and a separate audio cable plugged in. The sound jacks on the Tosh are Line in, Mic, S/PDIF, and headphone. Should I use the headphone socket and plug it into the audio in sockets on the TV? The Tosh manual seems to suggest that the audio will be output through the HDMI. Question 2. What is S/PDIF?

I think I messed up my keyboard or something....I was eating LOL and spilled, but hub tried to clean it for me. Anyway in IE, now this menu at the top keeps popping up and sometimes it flickers so fast I can't do anything on the screen. It seems like what would happen if a key is stuck or something. But none of the other browsers seem affected. Can a messed up keyboard only affect one type of browser?

I have Word 2007 and I am wondering how I can change a document from .docx to .doc so that more people can open the files (wedding contracts) via email? Is there a good freeware that does this?

Someone was selling a copy of adobe cs3 master collection on craigslist. I asked for details and they said some company had a lot of corporate column licenses and went bankrupt. the woman selling them said her father bought it for a good price for his business, but he's now retiring. She's selling them off but was saying that while the activation keys work, it wasn't a legal commercial license. I told her I was interested, but I had read through adobe's TOS pretty carefully, as well as am familiar with their security. Only legal licenses will activate the software. Well I got the DVD in the mail along with an activation key. It installed, activated and updated from adobe.…

When I was in France in the summer, I went on the net via the hotel's wi fi. I had some difficulty connecting at first as I kept getting a box pop up saying "Connect Broadband" and asking for a user name and password, which was not required for their network, just the connect name which was 0123456789 . Since then I keep getting this box pop up and I cannot connect to new pages while it is up, but when I cancel it I can usually connects OK, but sometimes my wireless router loses connection and I have to reboot it. Any Ideas folks? I am running Vista Home Premium, with Panda Internet Security. I have run a scan on my PC and Panda is updated daily.

A friend of mine knew I bought myself a laptop, but did not know I had my husband's case for it...and got me a nice laptop bag. So...using that one, and now have an unneeded case! Its pretty compact, you open one side and it has room for files, the other side opens up to lay the laptop inside and strap it in with velcro. Also has a space for cards and phone and pens and misc. Its a black Targus soft case bag. Its pretty much like new as it was not used to much to travel but just protect the laptop. I just feel bad, its such a nice case, but now I have two. :duh I'd be happy to give it to someone who needs it on here, if you can just pay for the shipping? …

What resolution are you running? Mine was set on 800 X 600, I had never messed with it. Danny posted this site under the 'Chrome' topic. http://browsersize.com/ It states that 1024 by 768 is the most popular setting. After looking at it I checked to see what mine was set at, so I changed it to this, 1024 by 768, which according to this page is the most popular setting. It's taking me a bit to get use to the print & icons being smaller on some things like the top of this browser, my Outlook Express 6, my spell check in Outlook Express.

I have 3 GB of Ram. One stick is 1 GB of ddr2 5300 and the other two are 2 sticks of 1 GB ddr2 6400 dual channel. Would my Ram be more effective if I took out the 5300 or is it better to leave all three GB in going at the speed of the 5300?

Hi, thanks in advance for any help. I am on line and then the page simply pops up called C:/Archivos/comunes/ ... (I have a spanish server and key board) But the page just reroutes my web server and it is a blank page with no info or anything. If I open up the direction window where all the past pages I have been to should appear, it shows the drives and files for my PC, as if I am searching for a file or something. I tried to find the file under it's heading and the folder exists, but contains no file in it. Can I block this thing? Or what it is it? God bless, Calvary

We have cable internet...and then a wireless thingy and then a signal booster so that the signal will reach over to the church..so that our internet can be at home AND at church without actually signing the church up for its own internet. Well we came back from vacation and the wireless wasn't working. (Storm knocked it out? Dunno.) We bought a new wireless box and it seems to be working fine. The computer is picking up a signal fine. But somehow the signal gets messed up with the booster (can't explain this right) to where although the signal is reaching, the internet is not there, the computers cannot connect. Does anyone know what might be the problem, probabl…

Hi, My laptop running XP keeps crashing. I thought it was the hard disk failing and replaced it but it still keeps happening. In the past it had a new screen due to being put down heavily and was returned to the repairers as there were still a problem which turned out to be a loose joint where the power lead goes in. That was about Feb last year. After that is was OK for about a year then this started happening, Any Ideas?.

For weeks I have been trying to convert certain files into wMV I have downloaded several media converters and tried several online. They convert fine into the wMV files and play great on my real player. They problem comes when I burn them onto a disk. For some reason I get only a few minutes if that of audio before I get the silent treatment. At first I thought it was my burner until I realized I have made copies of dvds in the past that were wMV that I downloaded directly from a site with no problem. Anyone have an suggestions for me? God bless. :)

I've got Windows XP. Later yesterday I noticed that my icon for IE7 had disappeared, it was late and I did not check it out. This evening my bookmarks are gone on my Firefox browser. I have not had time to check none of this out real good, but I did check this. I checked on the system restore for it records any action if anything is removed, nothing has been removed. the only change in the last few days is this, 6:58:58 AM Software Distribution Service 3.0 on Thursday. I believe I used IE7 on Friday. I did look and I've got a folder under the Program Files for Internet Explore.

The salesmen at Best Buy and Circuit City say that if you buy a computer with Vista, the only way to get all the annoying trials, ads and other junk off it and get it to run faster (a brand new computer!!! :puzzled: ) is to pay them to "optimize" it. Is this true??? Why can't the consumer delete the trials and ads for themselves?
