I have a Dell Optiplex PC with a legal copy of Windows XP. But the Dell hardware seems to be failing. The problem is that the XP distribution CD I got with the computer is a Dell distribution disk, possibly with files specific to Dell (It says both Dell and …

It is fixed for one display size. Computers with other monitor resolutions may not display it properly. Everyone kept telling us to make table-less columns. I researched why. It is because readers for the blind give the table row and column coordinates. The problem with using div tags for columns …

I fixed it by uninstalling Spybot and using different security software. It was causing other troubles too. The F12 key might aslo be the culprit.

To get rid of both lines, you have to set the attribute for both the table and the td tag (and th if you use it). To remove the space between the borders, use cellspacing="0" in the table tag.

The width attribute is deprecated. Use a style: [code] .wfl {width: 100%} [/code] Then, in the tag you want to be wide, put the following: [code] <tag class="wfl"> [/code] The tag will assume the full width of its container.

This is the problem with intellectual property. Too many judges favor the owners of intellectual property over others who come up with similar products or names. This is giving too many entities monopoly powers. Nobody should be able to own any word that is in the dictionary.

I know that AOL and Hotmail sometimes block ISPs because spam came from there (or appears to have come from there). If this has happened, the sysops at Hotmail will have to fix it.

I don't need a Rolex - real or fake. A Rolodex would be much more useful to me. Yet the one kind of spam my spam filters never remove is offers for real or replica Rolex watches. I have absolutely no need of either. But they seem to have ways …

Windows 8 is the least useful operating system I ever used. MS-Dos beats it in usefulness. What I can do in one mouse click in XP takes up to 30 seconds to accomplish in 8. No thankls It is the biggest timewaster ever.

Note that a few applications (not Word) will do this if a file is already open. It must save the old file before closing it to open the new one. MSpaint does this.

This sounds like either the file permission is set wrong, or something is wrong at that host.

This depends on whether or not the storage space the files originally occupied was reused. If new files were written on the same "sectors," the old material is forever gone.

There are several reasons: - Incompatibility with existing add-ons - IT departmnents not allowing upgrades (or even updates) until they are security tested internally. - Incompatibility with websites used by the user. - The upgrade is not free.

I used to teach a computer class that used a software "grader" to read the finished project files. It was unable to find some of the features in the project if OpenOffice was used (and even if 2007 had been used instead of 2010).

Windows 7 is weird. That is the large icons version. You can set the taskbar settings by right clicking on the taskbar.

XP does not get in your way. Vista and 7 get in your way with aqnnoying features that waste your time. 8 is the only version of Windows that is worse than CP-M. It is designed to waste your time.

If you have a wireless mouse, sometimes a weak battery can cause it to move without your intent. Also, if two comnputers are close enough together and have the same wireless mouse with the same settings, the mice can interfere with each other.

You should not have this information. Spamming is the only reason anyone wants it. The IP address is usually useless anyway. Most ISPs, hosts, and routers now generate one-time IP addresses, to prevent spamming. Each time someone logs in, they get a new one. You don't need it.

That's the answer. The programs were written for older versions of Windows, and are trying to use a deprecated function. Microsoft removed that function for some reason. This is one reason I believe that operating systems should not be allowed to be changed.

1. Get what you want to print on the screen. 2. Hit Ctrl+PrintScreen 3. Open MSPaint 4. Paste. 5. Either use Print Setup and Print, or save the file as a .jpg file and then print that.

In other words, make it compatible with an old PC that has only an 800 X 600 VGA screen: - No big images - No combined widths larger than 800px. We're going back to the 1990s. Another possibility is an alternate link to a reduced size page at the TOP …

Unless the cameras feed only the local server, I'd connect a router to the internet connection, then plug both switches, and the local server, into the router.

If you are being blocked by your parents, your school. or your employer from accessing Facebook, then you have no right to bhypass the block. You are using equipment belonging to others, and must respect the rules imposed by the owners of the equipment.

It is also wrong for copyrights to last the 95+ years they last now because liberals worship artists. A copyright should last for three to ten years, not the virtual infinity (longrer than the lifetimes of most people) the law now provides for.

Try accessing the sites without using bookmarks. If this works, it means that there was something in a bookmark that is no longer valid (usually due to a site upgrade).
