Hi everybody; long time, no post. Anyways, due to work requiring a specific Windows-only program, I had to install XP on my MacBook. The installation went well and the program works, but I'm still missing nine different drivers, all for rather important things like internet connectivity and...

Hey guys. I just got Comcast cable service, but it either doesn't like my AEx or my AEx doesn't like it. It's not that there's no connection at all (if I run straight off the ethernet cable, it's no problem) but that no matter how many times I restart the modem (it's a telephony modem--does that...

Hey gang. I've gotta print my advertising portfolio to send out to potential employers, but the price quotes I've been getting are totally insane. Given how much it'd cost to print 20 12-page books, double sided and in color, it looks like I'd spend less money if I just bought my own printer and...

In my vast collection of DVDs, I have ONE region 2 movie. It happens to be one of my favorites and I'd like to watch it occasionally, but I only have two more switches left on Apple's DVD player before it locks. Obviously, I have to keep it on region 1, otherwise all my other movies will be...

I figured out how to drag background pictures in and change the music, but I wanna keep that little preview window. The help file said to hold down the option key while you drag a new background into the well and you'd hold on to the preview window. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be working.

I've checked and rechecked all the system requirements for the game and I'm rockin' it, so I don't know why the game gets all messed up. For no apparent reason, blocks and lines of other parts of the city view show up and the next thing I know, I have a fragmented world with cars driving through...

I really liked my iBook. Everything worked just like it was supposed to, no questions asked. But my new PowerBook is crap. It refuses to recognize my external firewire HD until I unplug the HD and plug it back in again and likewise for my digital camera. Ninety percent of the time, it...

I'm sick of the Apple Store people giving me the runaround on something that should be a simple warranty repair, so I'm willing to go to another, non-affiliated store. Any place you can think of is a help, though driving from South Beach to 136th is already a pain in the butt, so keep that in...

Please don't flame me over this; I'd use Mac Mail, but I'm too used to Entourage. In any case, for whatever reason, I can't log in to my outgoing mail server. All my settings are correct and I can use the netmail service without any problem, but whenever Entourage tries to log in, no luck...

So far, Safari only saves to my desktop and I'm getting a little tired of moving everything from there to the appropriate folder. I know I can select somewhere other than the desktop to save files in the preferences panel, but I'm talking about choice on a file-by-file basis.

So I've come up with some cool icons in Photoshop. Problem is, I can't get the images to translate into proper icons. I've used Iconographer and Pic2Icon--followed the instructions, too--so it has to be the mask. In that case, how do I fix it?

I'm using IE 5 on 10.2 and the stupid thing is being really selective about what it remembers and what it doesn't. For instance, it remembers my log-in information for a couple of sites, but then instantly forgets it for everything else. Like this site: I have to log in every time I visit even...

Actually, don't give me a detailed answer. I just want to know if there's any lexan in it. I'm not going to say why I want to know, but I need to know in light of the awesome things about to happen to my PB G4.

I cracked the top half of my PowerBook's monitor shell. Everything still works fine, but the crack is kinda unsightly. If you guys can point me towards some place that I might be able to get a new shell, I'd appreciate it.

For whatever reason, Internet Explorer has stopped saving cookies for some sites. Most seem unaffected (like this one) but in the case of, say, Hotmail, it doesn't matter how many times I click "remember my log in," it never does.

Anyone have news on SC4? Maxis updates their site at a glacial rate and I was wondering if any of you have some idea as to when I should plunk down my fitty bucks.

I finally found a Divx player that works, but I can't copy .avi files to my hard drive. Why? Every time I try, just before its done, I get this message that certain parts couldn't be read and therefore not copied, error "-36" whatever that is. Help, anyone?

Like the topic says, I need an SFTP client. Of course, I'm a cheap sonofagun, so I'm interested in freeware. I should add that I don't need anything amazing, just something to upload files to a server.

First of all, a hello to all of you out there in OS X land. I myself am a Windows convert and haven't regretted it for a moment. Except for maybe now. At the moment, I live with my folks, which is fine for internet access since I leach off of their connection via a router. However, I...
