I am trying to watch a store bought DVD on my computer which is runing windows xp pro. I know I have a DVD drive, but I can't play the video because I need to purchase a "video decoder"???? What the heck? VLC won't play the DVD either.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is there a way in Apple Mail to specify the time you want the message delivered? I poked around a little bit, but couldn't find anything.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that I loved Word 4.0.
Word 5.1 is that for me, but I totally agree with you. Word 5 and 4 were AWESOME.
Dana, Office 2008 on the Mac is pretty cool. Office 2007 on the PC has a lot to be desired. There is a feature that will help you in Word 2007 (and Excel 2007 - I can't speak to Powerpoint because I use it like 3x a year) that is under the Help menu. It literally says something like "where are the commands" and it helps you find where they were in Word 2003 and where they are now.
BTW - I have a Word rant. In all the years that Word has been developed (and I've been using it since 1988/1989 so I've been loyal to it for years across platforms) - why is there no way to search for homonyms?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I've had Safari under OS X and Firefox under XP crash several times already this morning. It appears to be related to the Blackberry Storm flash ads that are pasted all over many sites on the Internet today. Has anyone else noticed this?

no problems with Firefox on Mac today. But I have Adblock Plus installed.

thank you daniel. Of course, now it is saying the DVD copy protect has failed! This is just a Buffy DVD!
You can get a free trial of WinDVD
You can also check the support site for your computer, there may be a software pack that includes a DVD player as a part of it. DVD player software also sometimes comes with video cards or DVD-ROM drivers if these items are added to the computer post-purchase.
