1) Thanks for pointing out the screen saver fix, but it didn't work (I did
restart after installing).
2) Also, could someone address my question about installing another driver
in order to fix the changing display resolution (see below)? Thanks.
3) Now, after a bunch of automatic updates, my Word and Powerpoint files
keep trying to open in the 2007 versions. I changed the default programs
back to the 2003 versions, found my older Office folder, and restarted, but
they still try to use the 2007 version. I didn't buy these when I bought
this computer, and I completely abhor Word 2007 anyway.
How to change back? The files were originally in 2003, btw.
4) I think after each automatic update, my computer can't connect to the
wireless network until I find the IP addresses again. Can I do something
about this? I feel like skipping all the updates because they seem to reset
everything.
thank you very much,
Susan
