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!

What does it mean when Word will only start in safe mode? it keeps crashing and wanting to send an error report, and then will start in safe mode and seem to work ok. Biut has been doing this through repeated restarts and shutdowns of the computer. Work computer, so important docs, but not my money. OTOH, they just gave me this one a couple months ago.

It usually means some file is corrupted. When it opens in safe mode, go to Help/Detect and Repair and, if you're lucky, it will automagically fix itself. If you've already done that, reloading Word would be next. My new HP printer recently tried to have a duel to the death with Word and Detect and Repair seems to have brought about a truce.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Heh. My first guess was an app to prevent you from playing Metal Machine Music....

IIRC, Lou Reed is also nationally ranked in Tai Chi. Interesting and smart dude.

Mine was an app for taking a walk on the wild side.

Heh. So if you think you're James Dean for a day, it will correct you. Plus it will suggest Valium for when you have to crash after speeding away.

I went ahead and got the Garmin 205w. I had a $50 gift certificate to Newegg and they had free shipping so the total cost to me was $50.
That seems like a pretty good deal though.
