Howdy y'all! I could use some help in figuring out why my system can't restore. I'm running W7 on a 64-bit machine. Problems started about a week ago, when I noticed all the file icons had gone corrupt. I tried restoring my icon cache using cmd, and that worked for about 10 minutes after...

I picked up a used Acer netbook for $45 to use for taking notes in class, and can't get the dern thing to connect with the internet on my home wireless network (Comcast/Xfinity). It has Windows XP, and I am able to get a network connection -- in fact it was able to down load Windows updates --...

My kid is getting ready to go off to college at the Expression College for Digital Arts, where she'll be majoring in game design (on full scholarship, the proud mom adds :cool:). She needs to buy a computer powerful enough to crunch out the 3D programs she'll be running, such as Maya, Unreal...

MEh!... So... all of a sudden I can't upload files. I was trying to upload some art to VistaPrint.com and all of my upload attempts are failing. I logged in to speedtest.net, and I got a 207ms ping, 11.54 mbps on downloads, then it crashed on the upload portion. I've tried it in Chrome and in...

I had to reinstall my entire system (Vista 64bit) a few weeks ago, and among the many little problems I've been having is that Outlook 2003 will not let me use my contacts for multiple-addressed emails. I can vewi my contact list, but if I click on TO or CC when I got to address an email, I get...

I'm baaaaaaack.... with more PROBlems.... Meh... I started off not being able to get anysound in iTunes from my Vista 64-bit system (it's an HP system). So I went through all of the obvious stuff (volume controls, checked the cables). I was getting alert sounds from other programs, but I...

Meh... switching to Vista 64-bit system has been such a PITA! In addition to the email and internet issues, now my QuarkXpress program doesn't like to access printers (I can't even get as far as the print dialog box). So the one solution I've found to make the printers work in Quark 8 is to turn...

I was happily working and browsing away in my 64-bit Vista system yesterday when all of a sudden I started getting "web site cannot be found" messages in my Firefox window. IE wasn't working either. I checked my network connection and it said I had a strong connection. I checked on my daughter's...

I just set up a new system using Vista, and I'm having problems with my Outlook 2003 receiving duplicate emails. I have 5 different email accounts coming in, and I finally narrowed it down to just one of the addresses. I've double-checked all of the settings, and there is nothing different...

Greetings, gang! Long time no speak... As if my life hasn't been complicated enough this year with my new chocolate enterprise going live in February, in April I found out my husband has started sewing some mid-life-crisis-sprouted wild oats. So we're in the process of getting a divorce. So...

I added an e-mail account from my web site to my Outlook accounts, included the password, and told the stoopid program to remember the stoopid password, but the stoopid program keeps giving me an Enter Network Password pop-up requesting the password over and over and over and over and over again...

While visiting my inlaws over the holidays, I tried to upload some photos from my camera to their e-machines computer, using the slot on their machine for my SD card. I had taken a lot of really cool hi-res TIFFs of a trip to the mountains, as well as your usual family holiday shots in...

I'm running Windows XP on a network. Whenever I try to open a folder with a lot of items in it, I get that annoying pop-up window that says, "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I also sometimes get an additional error window...

This is such the coolest and jaw-dropping-type video. Chattanooga (about 3 hours from where I live) is going to host a world championship trials event in May. Trials are a motorcycle competition where the riders go over seemingly impossible obstacles (like huge rocks & trees) on 200-300cc...

I am fortunate to have an iPod video. My daughter had it plugged into the TV today (using an AV cable), and when she went over to press the button to navigate to the next episode of Monk, she got zapped when she picked it up. Now the thing is totally frozen in the on position (and no, the hold...

In honor of St. Patrick's Day, thought I'd throw out a few Irish blessings & toasts for your amusement: As you slide down the banister of life, may the splinters never point in the wrong direction. ~ May your troubles be as few and far between As my grandmother's teeth. ~ Here's to a...

I never thought much about it, but being mammals, I guess whales would probably get gas... and scientists actually got a picture of one here. Gee, I can just imagine the researcher's kid talking about it in show-n-tell... "And what does your daddy do for a living, Johnny?"... "He studies...

My monk-buddy e-mailed me a story about this cool new portable computer technology being created by NEC. Go to this Snopes link, to check it out. While you're at it, check out this link to other amazing stuff NEC has in the works as well.

I just got this from a friend today... Forgive me if it's old, but I thought it was pretty funny. Having Huguenot ancestors who were kicked out of France, I especially got a kick out of this one: 1. Go to www.google.com 2. Type in: french military victories 3. Instead of hitting "Search" hit...

:rolleyes: Okay, I've seen this font around, but never had to use it until now (the lovely script for Twelve Stones Crossing, below). We're supposed to receive Illustrator/vector art, but they sent me a lovely 72dpi scan instead. :dead: Anybody know the name of this font? While you're at it...
