Karuuna | Wednesday, June 20, 2001 - 06:40 pm  I added more to my response. I keep hitting the post button before I finish my thought! Sorry! |
Bijoux | Wednesday, June 20, 2001 - 06:42 pm  Thanks Karuuna. I don't have internet explorer. . |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, June 20, 2001 - 06:48 pm  Bijoux, sorry to hear about your problem. I was going to post something to you about your last line, however was able to refrain. I sure wish you could be in chat Bijoux. Ms. Karuuna won't be as lucky though. While Karuuna has IE 4.5, she is in desperate need of a computer. (I have held off for SO long!) <Lance ducks, runs, and prepares will> |
Karuuna | Wednesday, June 20, 2001 - 07:18 pm  Bijoux - You can d/l IE 5.0 for free at Mactopia. don't know if they still have 4.5 available. The link is Mactopia IE 5.0 |
Karuuna | Wednesday, June 20, 2001 - 07:19 pm  Lance -- I'll deal with you later. I am still so dismayed at your total lack of support in chat last night, when Grooch was harassing me.  |
Karuuna | Wednesday, June 20, 2001 - 07:20 pm  Oh and Lance, neener, neener too!  |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, June 20, 2001 - 07:21 pm  Grooch wasn't harassing you--she was just talking to you about planes. hehehe |
Karuuna | Wednesday, June 20, 2001 - 07:23 pm  That's what I meant!!!! LOL I'll never be able to take another vacation, meet another TVCHer, because I'll be so afraid to fly. I'll have to rent one of those vulgar mobile home thingies and drive all around to meet ya. And believe me, the world is safer with me flying, than it is with me driving one of those giant monsters! |
Grooch | Thursday, June 21, 2001 - 07:55 am  How do you get rid of cookies from your computer? |
Zeb | Thursday, June 21, 2001 - 08:03 am  Milk. However, it doesn't do a computer good. nyuk! There is a program called Cookie Cutter and another called Cookie Pal that are free downloads on the net. All you do after you run it is select the COOKIE tab, choose the browser you are using, highlight everything listed and click delete. For those that use Netscape, after you do this you will want to go to the Netscape menu, select Edit, Preferences, Advanced, and uncheck "warn me before accepting a cookie" or you will get an annoying popup message. |
Danzdol | Thursday, June 21, 2001 - 08:14 am  grrrrr Here is my latest frustration: Everyone in the world knows how to download music but me........ Believe it or not I am great with computers and electrical equipment BUT I am missing (what will probably be something minimal )to make it work . At home I have a Sony Vaio Comp. I bought, Rewrittable CD's and downloaded music to my comp.Now, I tried to download them to the cd and it says it is not for use in a home stereo or car.So, hello......why else would I want a cd for? SOmeone told me I had to format the disk before hand. I did that-NADA. What am I missing? |
Grooch | Thursday, June 21, 2001 - 08:16 am  I think you need the nonrewritable cd's to play them in the car or stereo. The rewritable cd's are for computer data. Wow! I know a computer answer! |
Zeb | Thursday, June 21, 2001 - 08:18 am  Re-writable CDs (CDRW) are different from CDRs. CDRWs are mainly for backups and use on your computer CD-ROM while CDRs can be used on both your computer and home or car stereo. Go buy a stack of 80 Min. CDRs and try again. |
Grooch | Thursday, June 21, 2001 - 08:18 am  Thanks, Zeb. But do you need to download a program? There's not a manual way to do it, w/out a program? |
Danzdol | Thursday, June 21, 2001 - 08:22 am  I have a program the comp brings to work with...I am going to kick some serious a** at the guy who told me to buy rewritable cd's...........I'm going to make him eat them.. No really I am not that violent.) Thanks I will go buy those and let you know what happened. Do they need to be formatted?or are they good to go... |
Zeb | Thursday, June 21, 2001 - 08:27 am  If you are trying to backup music or data files, the easiest program to use is Nero Burning Rom. If you are trying to backup full CDs then the best thing to use is DiscJuggler. However, until you register them, they will not burn at the full burning speed of your CD writer. There are two ways of putting music on a CD. You can convert the MP3s into WAV files and create an Audio CD to play on your stereo (some programs make this conversion for you like Nero) OR you can backup all your MP3 files on the CD and use WinAmp to play them only on your computer. I know there are now portable CD players (like Sony Discmans) that will now play a CD full of MP3s. |
Danzdol | Thursday, June 21, 2001 - 08:37 am  thanks...Is that neroburningrom.com? I do want them to listen to at home....I am also interest in learning to mix music not back to back songs but mixing music samples with voiceovers and limited eight counts etc.......... I am really good with the "old school" way...I need to get updated and it frustrates me that I am late on this... |
Faerygdds | Saturday, June 23, 2001 - 12:16 am  OK.. I'm great at software and most hardware, but when you get down to basics... I've been out of the field for a wee bit too long... someone help me out here... I'm just about ready to upgrade my cpu and motherboard... I really want a high end P3 because it's frankly more cost effective for the reliability and speed. (I also hate being a beta tester unless it's my program -- and YES... I HATE debugging ) So I chek out pricewatch.com and start scrolling down to look for P3's... ok.. here's the question... I see Athlon, Duron, and Celeron (of which I KNOW celeron=crap) I also see athlon 266, tbird, abd 200... question to all current techies.. what in the HECK am I looking FOR??? LOL Just to let you know.. I left the field about a year and 3 months ago and I feel SO behind!!! Someone help me out??? |
Grooch | Sunday, June 24, 2001 - 03:32 pm  TV question here. I was watching tv when all of a sudden it shut itself off. We had thunderstorms earlier, and it's possible it's still thundering somewhere around here. Nothing else electrical went off, and the vcr and satellite box still stayed on and and still workingworking. I went to manually turn the tv back on, the power goes on and I get the green power light on for a few seconds then it turns itself off to standby mode. It's a 52 inch projection tv. Does anybody have a clue what is wrong? My husband is going to kill me!!!!! Help! |
Wcv63 | Sunday, June 24, 2001 - 03:37 pm  Did you unplug it for a while? I have tempermental Tvs that require bizarre rituals to work at times. |
Grooch | Sunday, June 24, 2001 - 03:40 pm  Dang. I'll go try that. Then I will have to reprogram it. Arggghhhh! (Thanks, Wcv, I'll try that right now.) |
Grooch | Sunday, June 24, 2001 - 03:46 pm  Well, I couldn't figure out what cord (out of a million) belong to the tv, so I unplugged everything.) No luck. It's still doing the same thing. I am dead meat. Wait... I'll tell him the tv was off, and after the storm was over, I went to turn it on, and that's when the problem happened. Yeah, that's my story. |
Wink | Sunday, June 24, 2001 - 03:53 pm  Grooch a 52" TV???? |
Grooch | Sunday, June 24, 2001 - 04:07 pm  Yes, but that's just the extra one we keep in the butler's bedroom. |
Wcv63 | Sunday, June 24, 2001 - 04:22 pm  Tell hubby The Butler Did It! |
