Can I get a word processor and PowerPoint type software for free off the internet ? I have only ever used Microsoft Office, but they have fucked me over on a 60 day trial, so I'm now refusing to buy it. Anyone got any ideas, I have a presentation to do for Wednesday :D EDIT: Or is it worth downloading Office 07 from a torrent. Obviously I would pay ;)*

I did not spend 6 hours of my life chasing some guy that looks like the Pope on acid all the way to his mystic castle only to be forced to change character and backtrack ALL THE WAY to the beginning of the game! Next time I'm just going run around the first level and let the prick come to me. Fucking Capcom. Cocks. Half the bosses look like Might Morphin' Power Ranger villains too. I...

I got a new computer, a laptop, with Vista installed on it (home premium, if it matters). It found and connected to neighbours' wifis without asking me (isn't that nice of it...) but, as was expected since I don't broadcast my SSID, it didn't find mine. I had to set everything up: Enter my SSID, choose protection type (WEP), enter the WEP key, and enter IP addresses since I don't use DHCP....

I posted about this on another forum with no luck so hoping someone here might be able to help me. A while back I noticed that my 5.1 cinema surround speakers were not outputting sound through all the speakers, I later discovered that for whatever reason the leads were in the wrong inputs, I don't even know how that happened as prior to this it was all set up fine. Anyway after plugging...

Why doesn't it do it in one go? Why when i press it a second and even third time ...it moves files etc?

Wich freebies does the job best?

I'm eligible to upgrade my phone in the next couple of weeks, but I'm having trouble choosing which one to go for! I have the w810i at the moment, and love it to bits, so I want one with those sorta features if possible, but I also want it to look nice. Has anyone got any good recommendations of the newer phones out at the moment?

I got one on Saturday. The battery is running out REALLY quickly. Which is annoying, because I :heart: it otherwise. I charged it this morning, haven't even used it much today and it's on less than half already. Has anyone else had this problem/know of it? Or is it just my phone? I need to go back to the Orange shop anyway to give them my old phone (£150 extra credit = 10% off bill +...

Hi, has anyone here got any experience of copying all content from one ipod to another? Preferably directly, is there a cable or something that makes this possible?

Is anyone elses hotmail and messenger being shite? Whenever I try to sign in it keeps saying problem loading page or troubleshoot messenger signing in issues........:banghead:

How do I do this? Its an M4A file in a zip folder thats about 30mins long. I downloaded a converter but when it said it had done it the file lasted 1min and was only static and fuzzing..... I paid for this so I want it to play and also burn it to disc (nero wont burn it in that format....) All help appreciated.

On the front of my stereo system there is a music port, which im gathering i can plug my ipod into. Does anyone know what cable i need to buy in order to connect the 2? I've found AV cable's that will connect ipods to the back of tv's and stereos but they seem pointless when i have a music port especially designed for the purpose.

Yes, the common question... However I'd like an answer specifically for my case. I've just ordered a laptop, which comes with Vista pre-installed (I'd rather it came with no OS, but they don't sell them that way...) Being a linux user, I basically only have windows on my computer to play games that can't work on Ubuntu, I don't really care how new the windows version is but only if it will work...

Im no techie and know nothing about linux, so is this actually any good? I'd love to get a good laptop for £200. How does linux differ from...
