- Legacies -- highplainswoman (McFarland), 03:37:31 03/30/14 Sun [2]
I've just been informed by my "in-family computer geek" son that "Legacies" has become "invisible to the Web". Something to do with DSN stuff.
Will be emailing "Legacies" (he was kind enough to provide the email address so I could directly inform them, but I thought I would also post here.
Trouble is, I can "load" the front page of "Legacies", but unable to gain access to any of the stories, at least going directly to "Legacies". Which is too bad--it's one of my favorite sites.
Anybody else having trouble accessing "Legacies"????

- Lost everything -- Ann, 18:37:16 12/01/11 Thu [2]
October was a rough month - in the space of 4 days my hard-drive suffered a mechanical failure (meaning everything is unrecoverable) and my dog tripped me while I was walking her and I wound up with a broken radius, surgery, and a minimum of 3 months rehab. That said, the worst thing is that I have lost all my picture files - including the pic of Harm in his summer whites leaning on the white ship railing. I had that as my desktop background. I have been unable to find a copy online that is large enough to actually see it. Any suggestions? Thanks.

- I am looking for information about e-readers, -- usmgrad, 13:27:41 11/24/10 Wed [13]
Mainly advise as to how they handle so I can decide if I want to get one. I read all the time, before I go bed, outside while sitting in the sun, in addition to just plain inside on the sofa. I own books, have given plenty away because there's only so much room to store them. Mostly now it's checking books out from the library. Are e-readers all there are cracked up to be? Or would I be better off sticking with the Library?
Technology at home is minimal, two computers (over 5 years old), a plain, no frills cell phone, no laptop, no Blackberry, however I do have wireless internet.
My daughter (she's 32 and a techno geek) has a Nook and loves it but then she says she doesn't like holding a book and turning the pages. (Go figure but I guess if she's reading I shouldn't complain)
So I guess my question is do you have an e-reader, or know someone that has one and how do you, they like it? Would you recommend one to your friends? And if so what features are worth it and what features aren't.

- You have more of a problem than just the region. Australia uses the PAL format, Region 4, where the U.S. is NTSC format, Region 1. Most players sold in the U.S. will not play the PAL format. You should be able to play it on your computer. You need to be careful buying from other countries due to the format and region differences. For instance Europe is also the PAL format, but Region 2. The site you bought from should have had a warning. (NT) -- Jeanaz8, 04:53:09 06/30/10 Wed

Hello everyone,
Hmm, more specifically since months the problem is that everyday I've to go in the calendar and in the time clock, where I've to correct the date and the hour.
And most of the time at a given moment the clock stops and I've to go back in the clock/date programm to put it back to normal.
I have the laptop since, well, since a few years, is - it the reason ?
I went at the shop to see the ( nice ) guy who is always here to help me, the laptop isn't anymore under guarantee, but for this kind of things it's free, I think to remember that he told me he changed something about the battery or other stuff ( well you know I'm not a computer geek ), but the prob continues.
Do have - I to change the laptop ?
Sorry for the long post, I hope you all have well begin this April month. Take care !

I checked with my internet supplier and the tech support person told me that even though he works for this company, he would not use the web hosting program for himself.
I do have a Facebook group for our family, but not everyone is on Facebook!

I don't know if this is the right place for this question, but if it isn't, maybe someone can direct me elsewhere.

I know there used to be programs you could buy, and I also know there are websites on the topic. I am mainly looking for organization and storage right now, rather than searching, but that could change if I can get things sorted out. We are getting a new computer, courtesy of our daughter (as a birthday present), and it will be a Dell, so we can order what we want or need on it. Is there anything different it should have for stuff like this? More memory, a different kind of anything? You can see that I don't know a whole lot about computers, although I've learned enough to deal with them fairly well at work. Any suggestions from anyone would be most welcome!

- The motherboard is like the brains of the computer. Although, you could argue that the processor is the brain. The hard drive is just where stuff is stored. Everything (hard drive, processor, etc.) is connected to the motherboard. Maybe the motherboard is more like the backbone?

- Motherboard is where things get plugged in for the computer to work (sound, video, processor, modem,etc.) (NT) -- rmhlrkr - the hard drive is where you store all your fanfiction along with programs and data, 12:17:16 12/30/08 Tue
- A little late, but here's some more.... if your "motherboard" crashes, you don't (usually) lose your data. If your hard drive crashes - you're outta luck.

Does anyone have one and if so, how do you like it?
What about the other smart phones? Are they worth the cost?

- I thought CDs were supposed to last forever??? -- The Chief, 06:17:25 10/18/08 Sat [7]
I have a question about playing OLD CDs on NEW equipment...
I've got a Steely Dan greatest hits CD with a copyright date of 1985. When I try to listen to it on my computer, it sounds like a scratchy old vinyl record. It didn't used to do that - as I've played it on my computer before - but since we had a new CD/DVD combo player installed, my older CDs all sound really scratchy. They sound fine in the car, or on other CD players.
It was suggested that I try to play it as a DVD, but with the combo drive, it automatically reads it as a CD and uses that laser.
Any suggestions???

- Update.... I did have success with ripping the music into WMP - it sounds fantastic with not a hint of static. It's the direct playback that is the problem. (NT) -- The Chief, 06:27:47 10/18/08 Sat
- I'm assuming this thing plays new CDs okay? And no, unfortunately, CDs aren't guaranteed to last forever. I'll have DH look at your question when he unplugs himself from whatever game he's paying. lol (NT) -- JAG Junkie (Ronda), 09:35:33 10/18/08 Sat
- Thx, JJ!! I'm thinking this might be a "generational" issue - i.e. the CD player software is too new a generation to play this older disk. I look forward to finding out what you come up with. (NT) -- The Chief, 12:54:39 10/18/08 Sat
- He doesn't think there is a generational gap. CDs are written in binary code (1s and 0s). It could be that your CD/DVD thing is bad (I've had that problem). Or it could be that it's software is "goofy" (his words). Can you play it using Windows Media Player or Real Player? Sometimes CD-Rs don't play on everything, but I've never heard of a genuine CD purchased in a store not playing on something unless there was another reason. (NT) -- JJ (Ronda), 15:06:40 10/18/08 Sat
- And you know I'm loaded with old CDs! LOL (NT) -- JJ (Ronda)--that should be "its" not "it's" in my post above. I'm usually better at grammar than that. lol, 15:09:07 10/18/08 Sat
- No, it's not my player, JJ. New/recent CD's play just fine. As for software, I've tried it with both WMP and Nero, and both have that "static-y" sound. I have other players (Quicktime, Real1, and the like), but haven't tried them. If you were to HEAR it, you could tell that it was "digitizing" or "skipping" something. But when I rip it and replay it from the file, it sounds fine because it's been converted to a .wav or whatever. The Laser MUST be reading all the info, but the playback misses teeny bits.

- Wi-Fi -- LisaJAG, 19:12:52 08/09/08 Sat [11]
Hey everyone I could use your help. I want to buy a laptop but I have no idea how this whole wi-fi thing works. Right now I own a PC and use cable connection for the internet access. Do I pay a monthly fee for wi-fi too? Is that connected to my local cable company?
I guess I'm looking for general "How does wi-fi work and who do I pay" info, lol. Thank you!!!

- You just buy a wireless router from Future Shop, Best Buys, etc., plug it in, and then you can use your computers and wireless printers, tivo, etc. from anywhere in the house. At least, that is what I do with cable. If you take your laptop outside the house, you can access the internet from wi-fi free cafes, libraries, offices, etc., but you shouldn't steal wi-fi from your neighbours. (NT) -- Cece, 23:02:20 08/09/08 Sat
- Just make sure when setup the wireless router that you password protect it or someone could steal your bandwidth. Also if your laptop has a built in wireless card need to know if G or N. N is the newest format and is faster then G. Not all cards support the N format it so if card in laptop doesn't support it but buy a router that does and it isn't backward compatible won't work or if does work won't be as fast. I would do a little research to find the best one for the price. Places like cnet will rate the different routers. (NT) -- Hope, 08:04:06 08/10/08 Sun
- Thank you for your input. I'm just not sure does the wireless internet router use paid to the cable company? I understand you buy the router at the store but who do I pay for the internet access? (NT) -- LisaJAG...thank goodness I have a place to go like this!, 17:03:00 08/10/08 Sun
- Also, if your PC isn't too old, it can be wireless too using the same wireless router. If it is too old, no worries. You just attach your PC to the router, and move your laptop around the house. Right now, I have two PC desktops both wireless, and a Mac laptop, also wireless. I also have wireless mice, keyboard, printer, and my tivo is running off a wireless router. It's great.

- I have a question about uploading photos on the internet??? -- doc, 18:13:30 08/01/08 Fri [4]
When I've upload photos previously, Cece has been kind enough to do it for me. Since I don't want to continue to impose, I'm wondering what the options are for uploading & posting photos? Are there specific sites that folks like? Are the photos secure, or can anyone copy them after they've been uploaded? Are there size requirements for the various photo sites? And remember, I'm a Mac person...that's the computer not the character, LOL!
I have these fantastic photos from my garden. They are all "up close" nature shots, some with butterflies, bees, etc. The resolution is amazing! You can see the "fur" on the bee, and even see the wings buzzing. The floral shots are beautiful. Since we discussed garden, I thought folks might be interested, but I don't know how to post them.
Thanks for the help!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Could luse some advice on photos.... -- Martian Barb, 05:53:30 07/30/08 Wed [3]
I am running Vista on my new lap top. I haven't had too much trouble with it and I am getting used to it, but I have Windows Photo Gallery on it and I hate it! I hate it with a passion! It keeps my pictures so disorganized its own "organized" way. I can't seem to find anything I download from my camera or anything that I scan.
Right now, I am in the process of scanning a lot of old pictures for family that is coming in for my son's wedding. I also want to give him the pictures also. My husband and the father of the bride are putting together a power point show of Chris and Ashley for the wedding, so between those two things, I really need my pictures organized, not the jumbled mess they are now.
My question is this: Is there some way to go back to the way XP used to organize pictures, that is in separate folders, not cross references and in many different folders? I just want to be able to go into my pictures file and then into a folder marked "July2008" or "Chris and Ashley." Is that too hard to ask? Is there some way to delete Windows Photo Gallery and go back to the old way?

- HELP! -- Theresa, 22:17:22 07/27/08 Sun [4]
Every damned time I try to make a video, or watch a movie, or something that has to do with video of some kind on my computer, I get this bright blue screen that pops up saying that it's dumping physical memory and a bunch of other numbers and gibberish (to me) basically saying that my computer has crashed. Anyone know what's going on? I have about 5 videos I want to do and haven't been able to.

- Getting XP legitimate? -- CB, 12:34:08 06/17/08 Tue [3]
I have a new (second hand) computer since a year and got it with a company win XP on it. But, since I am not in the company, after the first update, I got the notice that I did not have a legitimate XP.
So, I got my hands on a download for Win XP and a SP3, with serial code.
I just ran it (setup version..not a complete boot...as to save my own files) and darn it, I again get the notice that it is not a legitimate software (I did use the product key that came with it).
Do I need to format my C drive and run it from the boot up or is there another way, or will that even work?
It is very annoying to keep getting this notice since 1) I can't update my windows,
2) can't run Media Player
3) can't run my photoshop program
and all the other things that have to work with a valid XP, won't work.
Help?
