Keeping envelope fonts Times New Roman
by Guest Michael O.- 10 replies
- 444 views
I want all my envelope addresses to be Times New Roman just as my writing is, but whenever I click to print an envelope I see Ariel. I have to laboriously change both the sending and return address using the options bar, then do it again for the next envelope. Naturally, I tried the format font tool on the menu bar, choosing Times New Roman and making it my default. But it doesn't work. What can I do?

Just got a new usb 4g SanDisk Cruzer jump drive. Plugged into my desktop and it worked fine. Copied files to and from. Plugged into my laptop and Windows XP SP3 sees the new drive being installed in the tray but when I go to "My Computer" the system doesn't give me a drive icon. I can go to "CMD" prompt and change to f: and type"dir" and it sees the drive in DOS. What gives??

Help: When surfing the internet, my Web browser hangs
by Guest Eran Karu- 1 reply
- 240 views
When I surf the internet, my Web browser, Internet Explorer 7 or Opera 9.6, occasionally bombs. Only my Web browser hangs, not the entire system that crashes. I try several times to kill the process of the hanged Web browser but futile. So I have to reboot my computer system by pressing power "on/off" button. I try hard to find out what causes the problem but I can not find an answer at all. In other words, I do not know whether hardware problems, software bugs or some erroneous web sites cause my Web browser to hang. Whenever I click any link to any other web site, a web site partly appears on my computer screen then stops and the small icon at the top an…

Searching for text within files
by Guest Rick- 7 replies
- 324 views
I want to find files in a directory that contain the string 'syscolumns'. I know for a fact that several ordinary ASCII text files (extension .SQL) contain that string. They're not hidden or system files. I load up Search and in the 'A word or phrase in the file' edit box I enter syscolumns. My other options: 'All or Part of the File Name' is blank When Was It Modified = Don't Remember What Size Is It = Don't Remember Under 'More Advanced Options', everything is unchecked I click Search and it doesn't find any files. Same thing with several other strings I look for. Am I doing something wrong? It seems to work fine when I'm looking for a strin…

Clipboard not copying
by Guest computerchallengedcc- 2 replies
- 264 views
Pc: XP/SP3 4 G. RAM Office 2007- Internet Explorer 7.0 Something is going on with the clipboard on this pc, & I don't have a clue where to look for the problem with it. I use Photobucket to store pictures & images all the time, suddenly the Ctrl/paste will not work. Instead of pasting the url for my image, it is showing text from an old Ctrl/C text sentence, not the url. I CAN use Ctrl/c and Ctrl/V in Word, Wordpad, etc. successfully, but cannot use these fuctions to copy and then paste an image into a Forum I am a member of. I have always been able to do this easily in the recent past. This particular forum, along with Photobucket, uses Dir…

I have 2 compaq presario systems (one a few years older than the other). The older compaq has Windows ME installed on it. The newer compaq has Windows XP installed on it. The newer compaq burned out, so I'm working with the older one now, but would like to install Windows XP on that system, as ME isn't working very well for me. The recovery disks don't allow me to do this, but as I purchased both systems, I expect I'm entitled to one active copy of windows XP, and am wondering how I go about getting a copy installed on my older compaq system.
