My newly purchased digital camera requires Windows 98 SE. The software that comes with this camera is Adobe Photo Deluxe HE 3.0. As a visual artist, I needed to upgrade from my old digital camera which ran on Windows 95. Can you please advise me how to access in Windows 98 SE all of the photos that I have saved to floppy disks and CDs through Windows 95. I am running a Pentium MMX 200Mhz, 4gb hard drive, and 32mb of RAM. (more…)

Often I receive email attachments in WordPad (DOC format) but more than often cannot read these attachments. I am tired of returning messages asking for a resend in RTF. I am using Windows 95 and the word processing is done in Lotus WordPro 97 edition for Windows 95. Is there something I can do so that the file attachments arrive intact ready to read? (more…)

My computer has two problems. Firstly, no matter what kind of program I am in, the keyboard and/or the mouse will regularly freeze up. If I unplug the keyboard and then plug it back into the computer it will usually work but the mouse will not come back until I reboot. I’ve taken the computer back to the dealer and they simply replaced the keyboard but could find nothing else wrong. What could be causing this? The motherboard perhaps? Secondly, I’ve noticed from time-to-time that my screen will look awfully dark and then upon rebooting the screen will generally return to it’s natural state (the colour of the screen is not affected - it is like the brightness has been turned down). Could this be a problem with the graphics card or the monitor? My system is running on Windows 98 SE and is a Pentium III 733MHZ processor. Any advice you could provide on these very annoying problems would be greatly appreciated. (more…)

I have two problems which have been bothering me for several weeks. Firstly, often when connecting to the internet my modem dials the 000 number for emergency services. What is causing this and how can I stop it? Secondly, lately when I open Internet Explorer my normal homepage has been replaced with an internet gambling site. Even though I have changed my homepage a number of times, the next time I log on I am greeted by the same gambling sites. Do you know how to stop this? I would appreciate any suggestions. (more…)

I have a very strange problem with Outlook Express. Each time when I open Outlook Express after opening Internet Explorer I get disconnected. However, there is no problem if I start Outlook Express first then Internet Explorer. Please advise what I have to do to solve this problem. (more…)
