I am having a problem converting files from Open Office into files that can be read the same way, with the same formatting, on Microsoft Works/Word. I tried to convert a story to an rtf file last night and it was a big pain and I don't know if it really worked. In addition, Microsoft word (which came with my computer) is telling me I need a ( Read more... )

Apparently modems are very expensive, so I just bought a wireless router and planned on continuing to use my Comcast rented modem. However, my mother pays the same amount each month for her modem and it's set up for wireless. SO tomorrow my mother will talk to Comcast and hopefully exchange my modem for one with wireless capabilities (same price ( Read more... )

After looking up all this router/modem stuff online, I'm going to just go into a store like Fry's and buy one, as long as it's not twice the price I'm seeing online or anything. I have Windows 7 so it has to be compatible with that (nothing I've been finding lists Windows above Vista) and it has to be a router/modem for cable that connects to ( Read more... )

My computer comes with a wireless card, but I need to buy a gateway/router/modem off ebay. Someone my family knows got his for $5. Then we can return the borrowed modem to Comcast. I will be happy when I can use wireless internet because I have to type on the floor right now. I am a bit overwhelmed by the computer stuff. I think I will try to ( Read more... )

I'm typing from my new pink computer:-) It arrived today. We're in the middle of transferring over information. Tomorrow, if I can get to a store, I will buy a wireless card and an appropriate router. It could get a little expensive:-( And I donated money to the Humane Society for Haiti today. I chose aqua paint for my kitchen and it was ( Read more... )

There was something wrong with my computer at 6am this morning. I woke up to bad transportation dreams (mainly about a bus and rushing to get on it and save seats for my brother and mother, but then they didn't make the bus, then April popped up, etc.). I passed the living room and saw the black screen on my computer. I couldn't understand the ( Read more... )

The person I sent my hard drives to copy said my hard drives are blank:-( I lost all my poems July onward. I just have the ones in my notebooks and copied to LiveJournal. I will work on the project of copying them when I get back home (I just got to Michael's house). In a way I'm relieved. There's a lot that period of time those hard drives ( Read more... )

I can't find my post on crossposting and my semagic is not crossposting. I have it set up to post to livejournal or insanejournal but it won't post to both at the same time, even though "multiple journals" is an option. I didn't use the initials (ij, lj) because I couldn't get it to accept those added on at the end of the username. If someone ( Read more... )

I have a problem. I have three hard drives but they are disconnected. I need to connect them with a sata controller. I have an abit av8 motherboard. I will probably need to take the computer into a computer shop to have the sata controller installed. But does anyone have any idea what kind of sata controller I need?
