I've been using the trial version of Font Creator to turn pics into fonts.Works great BUT I would like to find a free version. Not that I mind paying but its a little high for no more than I would be using it. I've googled for a freeware version of a font maker/creator til my eyes hurt with no luck.Anyone have any ideas? Never mind, the problem is solved.

thanks! Worked like a charm.As usual,help was fast in coming here.The registered owner thing I will save to another day.But I will get around to it eventually.

Ok So I found an old computer at a yardsale for $10.Not fast (600mhz) but I just hooked it up to my network and will do for a file server.Anyhow,the computer name is LESA and I'm not LESA in fact not even close. Is there a way to change the computer name,other than a registry hack? OS is XP Pro. Thanks in advance for any help. John (not Lesa)

Is the link supposed to support Firefox as faster? From the article: "So overall, Opera seems to be the fastest browser for windows."

There are no big problems with Opera. Anyone who says its hard to use is either too lazy to stick with it until they get used to it, or too lazy to read the tutorials. As a LONG TIME Opera user, all I can say is,its fast,its lean,and its clean. Firefox(ouch) lasted about a week on my PC. Oh,and 'Mouse", Opera has been ad-free for awhile now. If you are looking for a serious,secure browser,Opera is what you want. If you believe all the Keven/Leo Firefox smooching propaganda, then stay with FF.

missing the true point here....what is next? Will they be scanning our hard drives to see what else we might have? Its about privacy.Open the door,let them in and you have no privacy. If M$ can find a way to mess this up,they will.Not known for doing things right the first time. I see a 'patch' for the update and then a patch for the patch somewhere down the line. For a company that depends almost entirely on its software for revenue,they seem to be bending over backwards to drive people to open source.

no,I"ve tried all that,which is weird.I checked the setting for my other computers and they are the same as this one . I do have Total recorder so its not URGENT but I hate to have something that I can't get working.,

I had to install audacity onot a new computer today. Under the recording source,the only options I have are "Line In' and "Microphone". No mono mix,no stereo mix,etc. I've looked everywhere in the preferences,and can't figure this one out. I've installed Audacity on computers many times and never had this problem. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.

I could be wrong but I think I read somewhere that the drive uses a different laser for CD than for DVD because the two have data burnt at different depths. The laser,of course,has to focus at that depth. Buy a new drive they are dirt cheap now.

Great! Its always nice to know the end result.

sell your old ram on ebay.It will go fast.

Version 9 (currently out in Beta) has built-in adblocking ,and its as easy to use as right clicking. I'm in my second week of trying it out...so far I love it.

Right on the money. I have 4 DVD players...2 will play VCD and 2 won't. Try it and see.... IF the DVD player will play picture CD's chances are it will play VCD's.

Opera, for over 4 years. DL 9.0 this morning and have been playing with it all day.So far,LOVE IT! The adblock feature is great,and SO easy to use.

If you have a pet and want to take it with you, www.letsgopets.com is a great resource. La Quinta Inns take pets as a matter of policy. Just thought I'd throw that in for you pet lovers.

Thats's probably the stupidist thing I've ever heard.What's next..Target Employees can't shop at walmart? This is America,for God's Sake. That's the type of thing Hitler would have done. Henry Ford was an anti-semitic Bigot...looks like things haven't changed much. Chevrolet....all the way! Oh..btw....Nissan makes cars right here in Tennessee..and isn't Chrysler owned by Daimler...a German Company?

I've yet to find a DELL,Compaq,HP, or ANY pre-built off-the-shelf PC with a good,quality PSU. They are all crap.

My suggestion to you would be to refuse to work on E-Machines. That would take the bitter taste out of your mouth... If I kept falling off a bicycle because I couldn't ride, I would not get back on again... Exactly.

Last month,Bellsouth had a system-wide outage in my area.Lasted for about 12 hours. I could connect but speed was slower than dial-up. This is the only time its been down since I got it 8 months ago.Anyway,I had never disconnected the modem from the jack so I just used my dial-up number. And lo and behold....my dial-up speed was double what I had been getting before I got DSL.Almost a full 56K! Nothing wrong with dial-up for checking email and chatting. Thats why most (if not all) Broadband ISP's have back-up dial-up numbers. Things happen.

Well said! I have been buying music since 1964 and I'm getting tired of replacing the same albums every time a new format comes out. Same goes for videos. This year alone I have spent maybe $1000 replacing VHS with DVD. And who gets that money? Its not the artists,the directors,the creators of the content. You sure don't hear the record company executives crying to congress over the poor treatment of performers. Only this week there was a story in the news about Hank and Jett Williams having to go to court to prove that they were entitled to royalties for their own father's recordings. Give me

the last part.. his player is not compatable with napster if he must change formats. this gives you rights to move the song to cd.. not from cd or to another device.. in Law you say spacificly what you can do.. everything else you can't. see the last part about not copying that cd back to the computer (transfer back) which means you can not make a cd, then make MP3's from that cd This is the killer here.. This makes this transfer unlawful.. you can transfer to a "compatable" music device, not change formats to put on a music device, and it must keep the security requirements. which if you c

god damn it i had learn my lesson >.< yep i did the registry for that programe It sounds like the same as "FREE SPYWARE KILLER" or "FREE VIRUS HUNTER" and all the crap that actually puts viruses and spyware on it. 9 times out of 10 (or maybe 99 out of 100) Free means catch Thats why when I want a free program, I search for 'open source'. never been burned yet. There are people out there who create programs for the fun of it...and don't expect a thing back. Shareware used to be nice...now it just means 'I share the program with you,you share your money with me."

You too? 4 years ago I was content to just surf the net and let others worry about my computer. Then I had a crash and lost everything.Very important data,pics,etc. decided right then and there that it wasn't going to happen again. So I read all I could,asked questions from everyone,got some old PC's to practice on...and now everyone comes to me when they need help.The last crash I had (a few months ago) I didn't lose a single bit of data.

god damn it i had learn my lesson >.< yep i did the registry for that programe well we all live and learn. A few years back when I still had dial-up I tried one of those web accelerator apps. All it did was make graphics and pics fuzzy. I couldn't tell a tit from a toenail. That lasted one hour.

I can't believe you fell for that crap. There is no miracle way to speed a CPU up. You can tweak settings,etc...and this is probably all the program does. In your case,it probably tweaked something really bad. You didn't ,by chance,back up your registry first,did you?
