How can I get email on my phone and computer?

May 3rd, 2011 1 comment

I use Microsoft Outlook and Yahoo immediately transfers emails to my computer. I’d like to receive emails also on my phone. But apparently Outlook takes priority and they are removed from Yahoo when transferred to my computer. Thus my phone shows no emails. Anything I can do to have emails both on my phone and computer? And, of course, deleted on phone when deleted on computer. Thanks.

How can I find a printer compatible with my old computer?

May 3rd, 2011 4 comments

I have an 8 year old computer – this was even before USB. A few months ago my HP Deskjet 600C gave up the ghost and I’ve been attempting to fins a replacement. When I go to electronic stores and ask for a parallel port printer, I just receive incredulous looks and the comment that they aren’t being made any longer. All the new printers require USB connections and at least 256 MB RAM (mine has 128MB). I can’t buy one off the Internet because I don’t have a credit card. I also tried Craig’s list, but parallel port printers are few in number and the ones I inquired about aren’t guaranteed to work. Any suggestions?

I have DSL and a computer in the livingroom that can access hotmail, but the computer in the bedroom will not go to the site, even though it has no problem accessing other sites. Any help is appreciated.

How can I access my computer from a different house?

May 2nd, 2011 3 comments

My parents are split and I have a computer at both of their houses. Sometimes I need to get files off one computer so I can work on it at one of the other houses. Is there a way I can link the two PC’s and share files, or something in that manner? One PC is Windows XP Professional, and the other is Windows Vista Basic.

How can I get my computer to remember my passwords?

May 2nd, 2011 2 comments

I have a lot of sites that I go to. And I am always logged out every time I restart my computer. I have to restart my computer often when Malwarebytes finds infected files. There always ends up being eight of them from the same locations.

Internet options > privacy > sites
does not work.

Neither does changing the cookie level.

How can I get my computer to run faster and what upgrades should I get?

May 2nd, 2011 3 comments

I have a Dell desktop computer right now and it lags whenever I play a computer game or open multiple tabs or use AIM. It’s not the internet’s fault because on my sister’s laptop it works really fast. Any ideas or suggestions on what upgrades I should buy like RAM or processing? Include details please. Thanks!

I plan on using my older computer as a dedicated server, but I’m not sure if its good enough. I cant remember the specs too well but I know it has a 1.2 ghz processor and around 300mb of ram.
