Guys! Am happy for this thread. I have the same trouble with 2 older Canon printers. They're indeed NOT usable under the 64 bit OS. While Canon was very cooperative in getting me the info needed, the download of the Win7 supported drivers merely made the printheads "wiggle" but then said "no...

Thanks again, Randy. Sorry about the confusion. The *.wps extension appeared only after doing a "save" in Notepad but suddenly changed to .DOC (yes, in caps!) when copying them to the flash drive. Windows7 would not read them. I finally hit on the idea of opening Win Word, going to "My...

Thank you, Trouble. I tried using the old "save as..." but the context menu (R-click) would only give me a "save". In other words, the choice of multiple formats - like rtf etc. (as in "save as...") - was not offered. I used "send to" and then saved on a floppy. The Windows7 computer (I have a...

My wife saved her Latin lessons with WinME word pad in *.wps format. Have tried to copy them from "My Documents" via flash drive and CD but her new computer with OS Win7 does not recognize them. We want to donate the old computer but need to get those files transferred. Would appreciate...

Recycling Logitech Marble mouse from 2005 Thanks, Kemi, have reserved a spot at the library's wi-fi desk to search Logitech's driver files for my old Marble Mouse model T-CM14. It's the same shape and looks as the one on the market now.

Thanks again. I notice that the Log. Marble mouse would be my choice but not from eBay. Have been at war with them since I ordered an attachment for my computer for movie to tape conversion which they have been holding up due to an error committed by PayPal. Thus the seller is unable to ship and...

Thanks for the tip. The Lynx R 15 and SCT Micro Trac 600 were nowhere to be found. Im have been using the Kensington Orbit Optical model for several years and reviews are all over the place. Had I seen them 4 years ago, it would not have been my choice. Fortunately, I was oblivious to the...

Thanks, my graphics card doesn't support 1280x960 which I had wanted to try. The next one down = 1280x720 makes everything too large. so I have to live with it.

Yes, Kemi. Am also looking at some of the links you provided. Would you know a trick to increase the choices of screen resolution? Win7 seems to have only one that's recommended while the other makes scrolling necessary.

Thanks, have tried the settings but even my Mac Mighty Mouse won't work except spottily. A still looking for a small USB track ball rodent.

Trackball mouse Thank you, Kemical, Tried all three ports on the Toshiba laptop, even on the iMac. I also put new batteries in it.

Two years ago I found a USB mouse with a ball the size of a play marble from an outfit in Florida. It worked out of the box on an HP laptop. It was advertised as P&P but I cannot get it to function on a Toshiba 15.6", OS Win7. There was no driver CD or anything printed other than how to turn it...

First off - kudos to our webmeister for getting us back on the tracks! When attempting to use the mail feature in Picasa, it will not give me a choice to use other than its built-in Gmail although there's a window ostensibly offering a choice of other mail clients but it's grayed out. I am...

Saltgrass, I am about to return my new MSI 12.1 inch notebook because I cannot read the text nor do I know how to change the fonts. Have increased the size but then everything, including icons, changes and I have to do a lot of scrolling. A young friend introduced me to Ubunto and I was struck...

Randy, thank you for the great advice. Had to jump through hoops to log in for there are no boxes to put my handle and password - just empty space, but then am sending this from an iMac since my laptop doesn't have a modem (it's en route...). Will now visit a hotspot and put it to the test.
