What dreadful thing should I do to my old wicked (computer) mouse?

February 25th, 2010

jlb asked:


So, the situation is like this. I had this very, very dysfunctional mouse, and I had kept on forgetting (or being too lazy) to buy a new one for a long, loooong time. After the said long, loooong sufferance, today I have finally convinced myself that I DO NEED ANOTHER MOUSE (again, it’s a device with buttons I’m talking about, not a living creature), and I got myself a new one. The thing is, what horrible revenge should I take for the misery caused by that old wicked mouse? Give me some distructive ideas, please.
(“it wasn’t the mouse’s fault!” won’t do. *It was* precisely the mouse’s fault, and it deserves to be punished!!)

My computer made a loud pop this morning and went black. Now it won’t turn on?

February 23rd, 2010

liz *no crazy way?!* asked:


The plug that it was plugged into says that it’s “building wiring fault” and so we think somethings wrong with the plug, and so we plugged the computer into a different outlet, but the computer won’t turn on. What happened to my computer? Are we going to have to call a repair man, or is our computer dead? I have a white iMac, and its about 3 years old.

How do you get iTunes visualiser back OUT of full screen mode?

February 21st, 2010

Alex P asked:


I’m using WhiteCap as a Plugin visualizer.
I pressed CTRL+F once upon a time to put the visualizer full screen, now I’m finding it impossible to put it back.
Whilst in the visualizer if I right click or press CTRL+F again, it closes the visualizer, and when reopened it’s still full screen.
So how do I fix this?
I’m sure it’s not my computer or installations fault.

My Kodak EasyShare 433 had been owned 6 months and it had a message saying ‘Card Must Be Re-formatted’. My friend was convinced it was from my infected computer. My computer had viruses. So is it at fault of my computer and its virus that my camera had to be reformatted?

*also,when i purchased a new memory card,it did the same thing AND when i reformatted the card, it did it again.
instead of putting the SD card into my computer i use a USB port and hook my camera to the computer

My computer and CD burner won’t read blank disc CD-R?

February 19th, 2010

x— Hello and Goodbye —x asked:


Ok, so before, I was able to burn discs (CD-R). But, now, whenever I try to burn a CD using Nero StartSmart, it says “Please enter a blank disc”. But there is one. I’ve tried many discs but they don’t work anymore.

My computer will read CDs with songs in them already. But not blank ones.

So, is this my computer’s fault or is it the burner? How can I fix this problem?
Any suggestions on what types of CD-burners are best???
