Texannie, I have been entering the password goofy everywhere I can think of, and it isn't working for me either.

I have a question about my mouse (computer mouse, that is). I use my mouse left-handed, so I prefer to have the primary and secondary mouse buttons switched. I can do this by opening up the mouse in the Control Panel and selecting a box to switch them. The only problem is that I have to do this every time that I turn the computer off and back on. I can’t get it to stick. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Jimmer: You might try locating software specific to your mouse device that would allow you to define the keys and have them retained. I use a Microsoft Optical Trackball with the Intellipoint 4.1 software to program the additional buttons and they've never changed since I configured them originally. If it is a genuine Microsoft mouse, you should also be able to use the same program.

Thanks Dra. The mouse is a Logitech M610 (I think). It’s a super duper cordless mouse with (are you ready for this) 12 programmable buttons. The only thing the darn thing won’t do (short of making you coffee) is let you switch primary and secondary mouse buttons! So you have to go to the regular Windows XP mouse driver to do that. Once you re-open the Logitech Mouse program it politely tells you that the buttons have been switched. I am using the latest version.

But the darn thing won’t stay switched when you re-boot. Is there something that I could add to my start-up that would switch them automatically?

It’s a great mouse otherwise!

Jimmer, check out the left handed version of the very mouse you're using; newly released by Logitech. This could solve your problem :-):

Thanks Wendo! I already have the right-handed version of the mouse, but I'm going to check with Logitech and see if the driver for the left-handed version could be used with the right-hand version.

Helppp!! For some reason my computer when first turned on gets a box that says Windows-no disk at the top(in the blue) then a red x "there is no disk in the drive.Please insert a disk into drive. I have to hit cancel 5-6 times for it to go away. If it is talking about a windows disk, I don't have one. They just installed it when we bought the comp. I have ran all spywares and such and don't see a problem. Is this something important?

Thanks in advance.

Ktbb: I'm not sure I recognize the message you describe. It sounds (hopefully) as though your computer is trying to start from the diskette drive instead of the hard drive and, without a boot disk in the drive, is giving you that error. If that is the case, it should be fairly easy to resolve by going into the setup program (pressing the appropriate function key during the initial startup) and changing the boot order back to the hard drive.

The second possibility is that your hard drive is not being seen fast enough for the startup process to locate the boot partition. After the 5-6 times of clearing the error message, the drive has had enough time to get up to speed and the computer can recognize it properly. One way you might test this theory is to wait a minute after you see the error for the first time before doing anything. Then see if it will boot with only one 'cancel'. If this is the case, this theory is more likely and you need to look into replacing the hard drive very soon (before you lose everything on it).

If you have any additional information or messages you would like to post, I'll be happy to see if I can tell anything more from them.

I only use Internet Explorer when I HAVE to. Firefox is my regular browser. IE is just too full of flaws for my taste.

DRA!!!!!!!!!!!! Hello darling, how are you? Hope you are doing fine and dandy!! Will you be around tomorrow afternoon say around 4ish? I need a date with you to fix my puter. I've set up a wireless network and everything went just fine except that my puter won't connect to the internet. Fred's does and the laptop does, but mine doesn't. I can get to Fred's puter and the laptop through the network but I can't get the internet. It's a Linksys Wireless _ G Superbooster or something like that. I'm running Win XP. Hope you'll be around tomorrow to help me out. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nancy, I sent you an email. If you would like to send me the picture, I can take a look and see if I can see what the problem is.

Nancy, I think the problem is that the image was too big.

When we say that an image is too big for TVCH, it means one of two things:

It means that the dimensions are so big on the screen that it will "stretch" the board and make it hard for people to look at messages. So we like people to make sure that their images are less than 700 pixels wide. But that isn't the problem with this image.

The problem with this image is that the file size is too big. The file size is 155 kb and the maximum allowed on TVCH is 65 kb.

The good news though is that I was able to easily resave the image at a slightly lower jpg quality and significantly reduce the file size without losing quality. Your program probably has a similar option.

Let us know if you need any further help with this!

nope still getting it when i downloaded the above photo and then tried to put it in my profile

The picture you upload must be a JPEG image. The file you uploaded had a MIME type of "image/jpg".

I'm not sure what is going wrong for you Nancy. Look at my profile.

(Cute guy - Don't worry, I'll change my profile back once you see it).

Try posting the image to a message in this thread.
