too bad about godaddy, but godaddy has decent instructions about how to transfer TO their domain.

they are pretty good that way. If he ever wants to leave, I wish him well.

help!

I have a scanner at work - it's an HP5200C. When it was uncovered during an office clean up (not kidding) I plugged it in and hooked it up to my computer and Voila! A working scanner.

Then this morning my boss tells me that when I send the scanned pictures to the staff additional stuff gets added to it and that I should check the software for options of some sort. Guess what? No can do. So, went to the HP website and downloaded a patch. Now, not only can I not see software to make other options happen but my computer no longer recognizes the scanner. What can I do??

So, is there a consensus here on Interwebs security software? Microsoft? Avast? AVG? (which I used on the previous one)

My new laptop came with a Norton trial so I hadn't bothered about it yet. But now that's about to expire. I'm pretty sure I shouldn't continue with Norton, right?

But then what do I need? Do I uninstall Norton first and then download the others?

My fav is Microsoft Security Essentials. It's worked well for me on five different computers and it's very unobtrusive. And, yeah, you'll want to uninstall Norton before installing anything else.

Has Norton made it any easier to completely uninstall their tenticles? I remember it being VERY difficult a few years back.

Well, I used these steps, but there wasn't much to find, which I'm hoping is because I hadn't fully activated it yet.

I have a netbook - 1.66 GHZ chip .99 Gig of memory. XP home as OS. Will Microsoft essentials be faster and less obtrusive for me than Norton?

Does anyone know how to get rid of the annoying MacAfee that came with my netbook?

Here is a link to some instructions:

Quick camera question.

I have a newish Canon Rebel XS that I've been using to learn how shoot in a manual mode (I was a click-and-shoot girl before.) Over the weekend, I played a bit with shutter speed, trying out long exposures with a slow shutter speed, trying out manual focus, etc. No problems with the camera at all. Then this morning, I can't shoot anything at all. When I press the shutter, it 1) does not focus despite the fact I have the button back on automatic focus, and 2) the shutter makes these weird... um, shuttery sounds, 2-3 times, without depressing all the way down or taking a picture.

I think this is something obvious that I should be able to fix, but damned if I can figure out what.
