Re: [Blind-Computing] hibernation
Hi, Mike, Talk about messing up one's own computer, one time I was trying to install service pack 3 on my old XP computer and I really messed things up so I had to have my nephew David do a system restore on it.

It sounds like there is a message on the screen that you will need to have read to you. In order for anyone to help we will need to know what this message is reporting.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Original Order!! Please?
Hi, If you're using windows media player, select the songs from the bottom up. In other words, if I have a CD with just three songs on it, I select the last song first. You'd hit the control key and then hit the space bar after each song. Then you hit the applications key and arrow down to play and the songs should play in order. Hope this helps.

[Blind-Computing] can't go to my home page using the new version of web IE
Hi, everyone, Recently I downloaded the newest version of web IE to try it out since it’s a beta version right now. The problem I’m having is that I can’t go to my home page with this new browser. I’ve gone to options and arrowed down to “set home page” and hit enter on it. Nothing happens. When I go back into web IE, it goes back to their home page instead of the one I want. I’ve written to the developer but got no response. What could I be doing wrong? Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Rosemarie PS. I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas.
