Go to Start --> Settings --> Control Panel.

Select Add and Remove Programs.

The listing of updates is there.

Ummm there seems to be 25 of them - I'm so lost

You can sort them by date installed. What we need to see is which ones were most recently installed.

In the arcade, WOW Connect isn't loading

Now, while I understand this isn't necessarily a big deal...but...um...someone took my high score from me, and I'm on a mission to get it back

If it's just a wee glitch, is it possible to fix it?


Thanks,
Dylan...couldn't find the 'ask admin' thread, so I put it here

Weird. I was able to load it fine. Perhaps closing out your browser and trying again?

Hmmmm, that is weird. It hasn't worked for me since Thursday night (?...might be Friday night, can't remember)

I'll check again...maybe your powers are just that strong that you just had to show it who's boss, and now it will work for me

Or maybe it's a conspiracy by Oopster to keep the high score!


Thanks,
Dylan

You cannot linked to pictures on your computer. You'd have to upload them to a site and link to there. Flickr offers free accounts for you to upload pictures to and then you can link to them there.

Linus... I have a Toshiba laptop... Somehow the left mouse button came loose and pushed down into the laptop. :| I am using a usb mouse because I cant bear to give up my laptop for 4 weeks for Best Buy's warrenty. Is this something easily fixed myself? Or should I just continue to use the usb mouse? There is nothing else wrong with my laptop and I no longer have a desktop :deepthoughts: decisions...decisions.. decisions...

Depositing my 15 cents... :pile: ohhh wait.. thats a pile of smilies :giggle:

4 weeks?? That seems awfully long time. Something like this is a 30 min job.

By pushed-down, do you mean it's under the casing? If so, this may or may not be something you can resolve. Laptops tend to be a little more of a challenge. I'd say that using some tape to cover the hole and continue using the USB mouse should be fine.

Yes that is exactly what has happened.. First it was loose on the far left side.. now it is pushed under the case... So I agree with you about the tape.. Thats what I thought about doing.. Thanks!!

The 4 week thing... its just because they dont do that kind of thing inhouse.. So unless something else goes wrong that will be my plan. Thanks again...

I don't know if this is the right question to ask in the right place...
if not, do ignore me...I wish I could often, ignore myself that is!

I am working on two applications for shows...one I can't seem to do at all dure to the pictures not being the right size (although SF offered to try and help me out so I emailed her one to see what we can see)

my question is about the other one for which I have to burn a CD...I managed to get the pictures onto the CD, though I have not burned it yet...will the titles I put on the CD, under the icon for the pictures, show up on the screen when they are viewed?...and, in what order will the pictures show up?...how can I get them to view in the order I want?

if those are questions I can ask here, thanks...I hope they made sense...I tend to talk too much, and especially when I'm in crazy-nina space, into which I entered many hours ago!

thanks in advance...

Applications? Do you mean something you are submitting or programs? If you need help with resizing I can help with that if SF gets too busy.

You could do a PowerPoint presentation that is just the images. There are also picture viewing programs (like Irfan) that can do "Slideshows" in the order you want. Depending on what program you use the names may or may not be showing.

Nina 07-24-2010 05:21 PM

I have to thank you, indeed....I didn't understand a Thing you said, below...but it made me laugh aloud, something I have Not done since 5 am this morning when I awoke to try and get this done 'in an hour' or so...really...still smilin' here...

I just need to, somehow, send a CD with 5 pictures of my bags...I just thought that the 'name' of the bag could somehow be seen, like under the picture...but, it's not a big deal...the order is more important, but I think I will just burn one and see what order it shows up in, then I can make yet another disk with the pictures as I want them to be shown...ha!! at least I hope I can...

as for resizing them, I don't know that it can be done in this life time...I am not, as you might have gathered, a computer-guy (sic)... :)

cheers
