I recently reaquired an old game I used to play called eternam. It is made to run on DOS. When I try to run it now, on windows XP, it runs way too fast. Is there anyway to slow it down? I tried messing with the compatibility options, but theres no option for DOS, oldest it goes is widnows 95

The best free DOS emulator available at present is DOSBOX

You can download it here

Have fun :)

ok so i have a pic of zac efron and vanessa hudgens and i wanna like put my friends head where zacks is, but i wanna make it blend in so it looks natural and not like i put it there. how do i do that, is there a program i need to download? cause i really i dont have anythingg on my comp for pictures. pleaseeee help

Yur best bet is Adobe Photoshop. You can download a free 30 day trial of it from adobe.com.

A free alternative is the GIMP - which is available from sourceforge.com

Sadly, you'll need considerable skill to be able to blend it perfectly - so get practising!

Sometimes we try and turn on the laptop and it starts to turn on but freezes up on the first screen where it says 'Averatec, Mobility without Boundaries.'

It's doing it more and more. Whats wrong with it and how can I make it stop?

It needs to be taken for repair. Spunds like there is a hardware fault if it isn't booting at all, and it's unlikely that you'll be able to fix it without replacing a part :(

I have some pictures on the desktop of my Mac computer...and when i try to delete them or move them it says that they can't be deleted (or moved) b/c the image is locked. How can i "Unlock" the image??

Thanks so much!

I'm not a big mac user, but if I recall - hit cmnd-I to launch the inspector and un-check the "locked" checkbox for the file you want to delete.

Make sure you've not got the file open too, that might be your problem.

I tried to put my video I made on Windows Movie Maker but it said the video is not a supported file type so it can't be imported. It's a ".mov" file. How can I change it so it can work on Windows Movie Maker?

You may not have the required codecs. Moviemaker SHOULD automatically download them, but if not try klite - http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm -

14/f.

My mom, aunt, 2 cousins (9 & 5), and I want to go to Orlando, Florida. We usually drive, which is about a 26 hour drive (including pit stops). We are driving from Missouri. The approximate amount of miles that it would take to get there would probably be around 1400 miles. I know this might be a little confusing, but if we would be taking our 2004 Honda Odyssey, how much money would we be spending on gas? Would flying be cheaper? I looked at Expedia listings and the price for roundtrip tickets from KCI to the main Orlando Airport, and that is approximately $1,400. We would also not have to spend money for a hotel, and we would get food on the plane.

I also do NOT want to be stuck in a car for the entire day (literally!) with my 2 cousins (9 & 5, fight about useless crap), so on the flight I would be able to maybe watch movies, listen to my iPod, stuff like that.

What would be cheaper? Flying or driving?

I have a 1.9 litre diesal car, and the rule of thumb is 100 miles for £10. So for me, 1400 miles would cost around £140. The price of diesal here is around £1 per litre.

I have no idea how much the fuel costs in America, or how big the engine is in your car, but I do know that fuel is much cheaper over there, so whereas it might cast me the equivalent of $300 to go 1400 miles, it'll probably cost you less.

So really, driving should be incredibly cheap compared to flying.

yah i dont know what category, but its kinda computer/ipod.
ok my ipod video has the sad face ipod on it and then it says go to www.apple.com/support/ipod. so i went to that and it told me to restore it, and i know how but my problem is it wont come up on my itunes when i plug it in, and i have to do that to restore it. also it has the "please wait, very low battery" and it never charges even if i have it plugged in for a couple hours!

please help i need my music :(

Could be that you need a new battery. The batterylife is appauling on iPods - I had to replace mine after about 18 months, which is shocking considering I paid £300 for it ($550-600).

How much is yours worth? It might be an idea to get rid of it and get a new one, as replacing the battery can sometimes be expensive.

is the girl "lonelygirl15" from Zoey 101 as "Lola" she looks like her!


AND! is she real? or is she acting

It was all a marketing ploy.

I don't know if she's actually acted in anything - but her blogs and the blogs of the people she knew in "real life" were all actors.

You can read the whole story on wikipedia.

How do you uninstal rhapsody when it won't open at all. It always says error, can't open or something like that. Is there another way to uninstal it?

Have you tried going to your computer's control panel, clicking add/remove programs and searching for it on the list.

You could also try going into its folder and looking for a program called uninstall.

Okay, so there is a movie coming out the 22nd and there's a poster on their window about it. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the actor in it!

So if I asked do you think they would give it to me? Like, when they are done with it or something? What do they do with them?

Yeah, most video rental stores and cinemas will give the posters away or throw them in the bin. It's definatly worth asking - although I should imagine that staff get the first pick.

My friend has her comments hid and I wanna know if theres anyway I can see them if they're hidden without going on her myspace??

It's probably considered impolite to intrude, but it is possible.

Go onto her page, and look at the address bar.

Halfway through the address, it should say friendID=00000000 where the zeros will be random numbers.

Copy the numbers, and then go to the below link, replacing the end bit.

I have my first interview ever tomorrow and I'm REALLY nervous. Does anyone have any interview tips? Like, what should I expect in going into an interview? What kinds of questions will they ask me?

Thanks!

It depends entirely on the job. Could you perhaps give a bit more detail?

Ok
So in 5 days (counting today) I have school. My school campus is like a college campus, we have to walk so far sometimes. Anyway, I have very bad muscle pains and joint problems, and my doctor doesn't want me to do sports and all that...BUT, he is ok with doing some physical stuff...but since doing sports was how I got in shape. I need to build up my indurence...does anyone know any easy things that I can do that won't hurt my body to an extreme but yet build my indurence up some? I'm a 15/f...XD in case that helps

Thanks in advance!

Swimming is ideal for this sort of thing as you're not putting any weight on the joints but still having a good workuot.

Any sort of cardio-vascular acyivity should be ok.

Does anyone know the price of the biltmore if it were to be for sale?

Google is my friend.

A very rough estimate of what it would cost to purchase the Biltmore Estates is between $200 million and $1 billion

u see my parents have blocked my favorite website and ALL PROXIES known to man on both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.... so is there ne other internet i can secretly download?

There's only one internet I'm afraid :(

If they have comprehensively blocked all content to the web, does that mean you're stuck behind a firewall?

There's a variety of ways to get around a firewall, the most widely used by people at work being http tunnel.

I could give you some very technical explainations of how to do it, but I think http://www.buzzsurf.com/surfatwork/ sums up a few of the best ways to do it as if you were technically minded you'd have already done it yourself.

i know its illegal but is there a way to get a video from a website burned onto a disc?

If you know it's illegal, then why do it?

Idiot.

Alright well I have an LG chocolate. And I recorded a sound, then moved it to my card, then moved the file to my computer. When I tried to open it on the computer, it wouldn't play. Since it's a .qcp file type. So, what program can I download, or what can I do. Thanks.
