    Mom's getting old and needs direction.... HELP!

    When I read your post the first thing that came to my mind was "depression" when you gave us the state of her living quarters. And then you listed it. My wife is dealing with the very issues you have mentioned as we are trying to figure out the best course for her 74 yr. old mother. We did...

    music cd ripper -> .mp3

    Most, if not all, MP3 players will come with their own software to rip, burn, and make lists of all the toons you want. Windows Media Player does a fine job. What MP3 player are you considering? If you are looking to another brand other than iPod I want to HIGHLY recommend the site...

    Multiple POVs, good bad or indifferent?

    It is fine until it gets out of hand. And not to disrespect the dead but Robert Jordon's Wheel of Time went from using this technique in page turning read(s) but around book 6 became a leviathan of mass confusion. Multiple POVs can certainly get out of hand if the author is not on the top of...

    Stumped: Why Can't I Burn?

    Well this is weird. I told my son to try the audio burn one more time. He used Nero and it worked! Why? I haven't a clue. I still don't get why WMP or Creative doesn't work, nor why Nero finally worked.

    Stumped: Why Can't I Burn?

    This one has me really stumped. My son has made a list of songs in several Library Options: Creative Media Source and/or Windows Media Player. They are in MP3 format and were downloaded from the internet (yes, they are fully legal; I won't allow otherwise). The thing is I can't burn from...

    How old is the CMOS battery? Is it the original one that came with your motherboard?

    Computer Problem Fixed! Thanks!

    It very well could be your CMOS battery needs to be changed out. The setting you are looking for has to be set in your BIOS. If your CMOS is dying get a new one at your local CVS. Make sure you copy down all your BIOS settings first.

    What is Desert of Desolation and what to expect for figures?

    I played the original and it was designed so that you could fit it any setting whether it was a published cmapaign setting (we played it in Greyhawk) or a homebrew. We had a blast playing it and our DM was excellent. Many fond memories from the original with hours of play. As for what WotC is...

    EUREKA:Season 2-7/2007-Show 3

    I think due to the fact that they changed the timeline the whole personal issues thing is going to be a jumbled mess for awhile. Hopefully the writers and producers can straighten this out or it will turn into another "Lost" or "Battlestar Galatica" which I liked in the beginning but has turned...

    Farscape Returns!!

    I liked Farscape. I never did understand fully why Sci-Fi suddenly decided to cancel. I thought it was one of their more popular shows. Can someone please explain what happened?

    Kicking out a player: share your stories/advice

    QFT I couldn't have said it better. Is it painful in the beginng to tell the truth as kind but as firm as possible? Yes. But... Then you can get on playing without lying, sneaking, and pretending otherwise.

    New laptop?

    I absolutely second Myconid's suggestion of extended warrenties. To replace the screen on a laptop costs between $600 to $800. So if you ever drop it... HP makes some fine laptops as well.

    Microsoft Vista

    Most of the issues have been with driver support. I know plenty of people who are running both the 32 bit and the 64 bit versions and they love it, but a number of them -- certainly not the majority -- know how to optimize their experience with Vista. If you are a gamer you'll most likely...
