I still have a copy of the Opus version around here, too.

Buffistechnology 3: "Press Some Buttons, See What Happens."
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!
Setting up my Mom's new computer. 2 USB 3 ports, 4 USB 2 ports. Have camera, mouse, keyboard, printer. Should I save the USB 3 ports for something along the line of external hard drives, or are there any of these devices that will perform noticeably better with USB 3?
The mouse, keyboard, and printer won't suffer from being on USB 2. If the camera was designed for USB 3, it will transfer more slowly on USB 2, but if not it won't make a difference.
Totally dumb and incredibly frustrated right now. Can anybody tell me how to turn the cursor back on on a Toshiba satellite laptop? The wee indicator light on the touchpad is lit.
I've tapped, double-tapped, combo tapped with--I think--every key on the keyboard, still no luck. I can't get into any of the menus to find destructions because I have no cursor!
I inadvertently hit a key, or a combination of keys, entirely by accident and landed the laptop and me in this pickle--any help? Anybody?
Try hitting the F5?
You might need to hold down your Fn button and then the F5.
Beverly, what version of Windows?
For Win7 and earlier, I think the Windows key + i should trigger the mouse properties box.
Woohoo! The F5 by itself worked.
Or maybe FN + F5 and then F5, because that's the sequence I tried them in.
Thank you, buffistas!
Next time it happens (heaven forbid!) I'll try the Windows key plus i. Thanks! Whew.
