Hi Judy Very early versions of Works had an inferior word processor but for several years now it contains a standard version of Word, usually these Works suites given away are a couple of years old but still similar to the later versions.

Try this one - it's free: http://www.cdburnerxp.se/features.php But you may already have a CD burner with copying capability - just check its features. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > Sent: Fri, 3 Nov 2006 14:02:40 -0800 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [GEN-COMP-TIPS] Copy CDs > > I am sure there is someone out there that is less qualified on a computer > than me.

I am sure there is someone out there that is less qualified on a computer than me. So far I have not found that person. I need a bit of help. I have purchased a few genealogy research files from the Latter Day Saints. For some reason over the past few years I have had individual disks in these sets crack on me. It starts at the hole in the middle of the disk and extends about a half an inch into the data contained on the disk. Most of these disks are in sets. I can not order just the disk I need to replace. I must order the whole set. I tried downloading the disks to my computer, that did not work. I now have been provided with instructions from the LDS on how to download these disks to my HD. One of the steps requires me to make changes to the computer register. My son who lives a long way from where I am has told me "don't mess with the register". He is an mechanical engineer and works with a number of computers. He does piggybacking best I can tell he links the different type of computers to do his work. Getting off track here. Anyway he says the register is something I should stay away from. So no downloads to PC. The answer to my problems seems to be make copies of the original disks, put them away and use the copies to do my research. I need a very simple coping program. Most that I have read about do just about everything but make a cup of tea. My question is does anyone know of a simple copy maker? I am not interested in it doing anything other than coping CDs.

I am very confused. I have today enrolled for H P online classes in Word 2003 starting shortly. However, I can't find Word 2003 on my laptop. I recently purchased a HP Pavilion dv5157eu, which comes with Microsoft Works. I have contacted HP regarding this issue, but don't really understand the reply I received. Cut and pasted below:- I understand from your email that you have an HP Pavilion dv5157eu Notebook and you want details about Microsoft 2003. Rita, I would like to inform you that since the Microsoft is installed on your notebook you can continue learning Microsoft 2003 which is the basic course and will be useful to use Microsoft office.However, you can download the trial version of Microsoft 2003 from the web site given . Rita, I will refer you a document on our HP web site which has all the troubleshooting steps to be performed to resolve this issue.Instead of sending this document in a text format, we are referring you to the Web, where this information is easier to read with graphics. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00764322&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=1848243&dlc=en&lang=en#N742 Can someone please tell me if I will be able to partake in the HP course on Word 2003, with my particular notebook. kind regards Rita _________________________________________________________________ Be the first to hear what's new at MSN - sign up to our free newsletters! http://www.msn.co.uk/newsletters

Rita, it sounds as if Word 2003 did not come on your new computer. They used to bundle it with new computers, but once they got firmly positioned in the market, they don't need to do that any more. The word processor in Microsoft Works is a watered down, feature-poor version of Word, much like WordPad or NotePad. It will probably not have the features being taught in your course. If you want to use Word 2003, you will have to buy it, either as a stand-alone or in the Office Suite 2003. :>( Judy in Ocala -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rita Barfield Sent: Friday, November 03, 2006 8:48 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [GEN-COMP-TIPS] Word 2003 versus Microsoft Works I am very confused.

AFAIK, MS Works had WORD as its word processor. I would think you have an icon on your Desktop that says Microsoft WORKS or Microsoft WORD. When I installed MS Office I got a Word Icon and an Excel Icon. I would think Works would have the same setup. bob gillis > >I have contacted HP regarding this issue, but don't really understand the >reply I received. >Cut and pasted below:- > >I understand from your email that you have an HP Pavilion dv5157eu >Notebook and you want details about Microsoft 2003. >Rita, I would like to inform you that since the Microsoft is installed >on your notebook you can continue learning Microsoft 2003 which is the >basic course and will be useful to use Microsoft office.

Rita, One more thing. If your new HP has XP Pro, then you have a Microsoft Office trial version that will have Word in it. But, at the end of the trial period you will have to buy the permanent version or lose use of it.

Rita, It most likely won't work. The word processor in Microsoft Works is not Microsoft Word. Microsoft Word comes bundled with Microsoft Office. You will have to either "find" or buy Microsoft Word to use it and the courses.

Would someone be kind enough to help a novice please? On pressing the Start-Up button the first item to appear is "Microsoft Registry Checker" and this runs for around 15 minutes - this happens every time the PC is started and it has become rather irksome. How can I remove this item from the Start-Up procedure please? Thankyou - Derick

They are mainly caused by conflicts between programs/drivers and the Microsoft operating system. Microsoft would probably argue that you take a risk whenever you use a program/driver that has not been certified as being compatible. The suppliers of said programs/drivers may argue that it costs too much to gain such certification and that the risk to user (you and I) is acceptable. Personally, the more I pay for software, the more I require such certification. If I use such as freeware - I take my chances. Chris
