Help, please. I am trying to access Yahoo games, and every time I click to join say Semantics in Literati all I get is a little red 'x' in the left hand corner of my screen. Clicking on it does nothing. I have changed my pop-up blocker settings to allow yahoo games, but obviously something is still blocking the game tables. I am clueless.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Kate, we were able to get the academic version of MS Office for Mac with DH's computer without either of us being in any way students or professors, and it's much much cheaper than the full version.
OK, good to know. How were you able to get that? Do you buy it separately? If I order an iBook with OSX, will I be able to install MS Office for Mac myself, or can I ask to have it included?
Also, duly noted about buying more RAM later. Thanks for all your help!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
How were you able to get that?
The guy who sold us the computer offered it to us and we said yes. (Sorry, not much help, I know!) It wasn't preinstalled -- they just gave us the discs.

Heh. Well, at least I know to look for it now.

Kate, you should be able to buy software at the cheaper rate through your school. Also the free iPod only comes with certain models of the iBook.

ita,
I tried to do the media conversion to play files on the Tivo, but discovered that my software is 7.1b and I need 7.2 to transfer files from the computer to the Tivo.
Do you know how/when the software will be updated?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
From what I can tell, LeN, they're sending it out scattershot. It's still in beta, I think.
You have desktop 2.2? By the time I got around to clicking on that link, it was pointing to 2.1. To which I'm upgrading (does anyone know what other than tighter DRM is different between that and 2.0?) anyway.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Frak.
We've got a Windows 2000 server that's screwed up. Printing is screwy, some web-pages don't load correctly, etc. The event viewer won't run - it says the disk is full when there's half a gig free. Windows automatic updates don't install. I downloaded two different windows patches (both .exe files) and it refuses to run them, saying they're not valid 32-bit applications.
Anything I can do, besides take it out back and shoot it?
