Q: I just lost my “Bold” icon in Word/Excel? Is my program broken? A: Nope, you've just lost your formatting tool bar. Right click on any tool bar at the top of the page and put a check next to “Formatting” to display the Formatting tool bar. This will have you bolding in no time! Q: I'm using Windows and I just got this message: "Invalid system disk - Replace disk and press any key." I'm completely freaked out. Is my computer broken? Do I need to reformat my hard drive? A: No problem. You've left a diskette in your a drive. The reasons this message comes up is your computer is trying to boot/start up using a non-system floppy diskette. Recommending that someone subscribe to this newsletter is easy...just send this e-mail address to them: mailto:thisandthatcomputertips-subscribe@yahoogroups.com . They send an e-mail and they're on the list. Q: There are groups for M/S , and Windows users... is there an Internet discussion list??? A: Yes, there are loads of them! There's a great site which has more discussion lists then you can imagine: www.topica.com . The discussion you'd be interested in would be at http://www.topica.com/channels/internet/ . Happy surfing! Q: I just installed AOL 7.0 and I'm having tons of problems. When I play a CD, my system crashes. Also, AOL 7.0 seems slower then AOL 6.0. What do you suggest? A: I've spoken with many folks regarding this issue. It sounds like AOL 7.0 is very buggy. First, it's best to try and install AOL 7.0 from one of the millions of free CDs floating around. Upgrading from AOL directly to 7.0 over the Internet is know to be unstable. If this doesn't work, you can either call tech support at AOL until you find someone who can tweak your version (could take hours), downgrade to AOL 6.0 (you must have CD - look under the plant in the kitchen ;-)), or get a non-cluttered Internet provider like Earthlink.
