Another option under the Control panel is "Ease of access center" . There's an options for magnifying, optimizing visual display, etc. This section even talks to you as you are working with it.

Is there a game system that you can hook up to use your TV screen as the viewer? Like the old PONG game of the late 70's? Like Wii? Do they make card games? Then she could see well and she wouldn't be distracted by any shows...

I like that idea. Or maybe just getting her a bigger screen so she can see it easier.

Whoami, Babyruth's idea is a good one. I bought a "Bejeweled" controller for $10 at the Dollar Store. It lets me play "Bejeweled" on any TV; my kids like it for a distraction sometimes. Even my 5-yr-old nephew thinks it's fun, and the controls are easy for him to handle.

Help! I need to take the info on THIS page and save it to pdf so I can upload it on another site. I post scores for one of the corps on their website, so what the webadmin said I should do is copy the recap to Word, highlight the score of the corps in question (Troopers) in yellow, print it to pdf, then upload it on their site. I'm running into two problems. First, I want to start with the date/location of the contest, and end with the list of judges at the bottom (the ads/background/etc encircling the recap aren't neccessary). For some reason, after copy/pasting to Word, the date/location of the contest is separated by a full blank page from the rest of the data, and I can't close up the gap. Oh, and I saved it with the page in Landscape, so I could get all the data across the screen. Next problem is how do I convert it to pdf? I'm using Office 2000. If I click "print" (as that's the term the webadmin used), the only option I see is to "print to file." But I've never had any success using that (probably cause I'm not using it right). I've never been able to retrieve something printed to fle. I can't just "save as" in a pdf format cause I'm not given that option to do so. I Googled "save word to pdf" and came up with several hits on various programs to use to do so. So I'm assuming I need an additional program now to do that? If so, can anyone recommend a good free program out there I can use? And then, can you tell me how to do the conversion? I only have Adobe Reader, not the one where one can edit a pdf file. Also, although I have a computer with XP on it, and can use that one if I have to, the one I do most of my work on now has Visa, and apparantly it doesn't like Adobe. So that may be a third problem (if I ever get this project that far). Thanks in advance for your help!

sorry, I only converted the webpage. For the raw info, I'm not sure other than acrobat itself. I have a publishing program that I can save as pdf and in open office, you have an option I think.

download the free version of a program called CutePDF here: http://www.cutepdf.com/ and it makes anything that you ever want to print a .pdf file. it sets it up so that you just hit the "print" button or command and it shows up in your list of printers.

I second landi's recommendation of CutePDF. Anything you want saved as a PDF, just hit print, and done. It's awesome.

On Macs, every printer driver comes with an option to "save as pdf". Just sayin'

i use CutePDF for saving recipes i find on all of the internet recipe sites, then it's easy to print out to take with me to get ingredients and to prepare the meal.

Is there a way to disable the looping music that plays behind a games web-site page so that I can listen to youtube or a song on my windows media without the looping music interfering? I can't even find a volume control that will quiet the game's music. Thanks.

On my spades game I can right click on it and mute music so I guess it depends on the site.

My computer sometimes freezes up and when I check task manager and try to end the process on the offending program it seems to be a "dumprep.exe" process--or multiple instances of dumprep.exe--hogging all the processor's brain-space. Is it okay to stop this? Is there a way to prevent this?

Does anyone here use Malwarebytes free software for anti-spam/anti-spyware/anti-malware? A computer rep recommended it to me, but I have found that it hangs up it conflicted with Windows Defender until I gave Malwarebytes authorization to operate via the Windows Defender program. If I use Windows Defender, do I still need Malwarebytes or some other malware/spyware program? Thanks.

When I pull up the task manager I see one instance of explorer.exe and multiple instances of iexplore.exe but I don't know why that is, unless this occurs when I have multiple pages or tabs open in Internet Explorer. In trying to research some of the running processes (via process library) I read something about iexplore.exe being a virus or trojan. Can anyone explain the diff between explorer.exe and iexplore.exe and whether the latter should be disabled? Thanks. I'm in a panic.

iexplore is main executable of internet explorer. explorer is windows explorer, which is basically your gui. Those files themselves are not viruses or trojans. your computer may be infected, which is something different. I do use malwarebytes and spybot on my computer at home.
