hello there...

just wanna ask how to uninstall windows movie maker?

[windows XP]You can't, it is an integrated part of Windows.
Only way to remove it would be a messy manual remove. Not something I would recommend unless you know what you're doing.
But why do you NEED to uninstall it?
hmmm.....i need to uninstall it because it KEEPS on shutting down or closing everytime i place more than 6 to 8 pics on the storyboard....in short, it's no use for me now. i DONT know actually why it suddenly malfunctioned.

if i can't uninstall it, how can i fix it?




Try this:
http://www.tweakxp.com/article37267.aspx

It will reinstall WMM. That may fix your problem.
You will probably need a Windows XP install disc to complete the re-install
oh...unfortunately i dont have my XP cd anymore....

I suggest you BORROW one then.
Just make sure it is the same version and language as the XP you have installed.okay....or maybe i should just leave it there and not do anything about it.......just for now......only.....i'll try the suggestions some time


thanks for the help. You're welcome and that's entirely up to you.
try updating your movie maker in microsoft's website

Ok so I have an old piece of lab equipment that I need to hook up to the computer. It has a serial port so i bought a serial to usb adapter. The problem is that the newest drivers for the device are good for windows 2000.

I tried using a couple virtual consoles, xp and windows 2000. I've tried using microsoft virtual pc but it doesn't support usb. I tried using virtual box but since i can't install the printer in vista (host) I can't use it on the virtual console.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?
The easiest SOLUTION might be to go buy an old computer somewhere but all the data and lab tests are on the computer with vista so I can't really do that easily.

hopefully someone can help before i go insaneWithout drivers written for Vista i'm afraid you are out of luck...
There are some XP drivers that will run a device under Vista but as you stated the newest ONES are for Win2K.
Another option would be to run Win2K in a virtual MACHINE setup on Vista....if this is a valid option Post back for more info...
Also post alot more info on the device and the software required for running it so we can advise properly...Well I actually did try running it through a virtual console. I FIRST tried using microsoft virtual console but that lacks support for usb. I then tried running windows 2000 on virtual box, but for virtual box to use usb, the device has to be installed on the host computer and then mounted on virtual box. Because of the fact that the drivers only go up to windows 2000 and not vista, I don't know if it's even possible to install the printer on vista just so I can mount it onto the console.

The device is a microplate liquid handler so basically it's set up to mix very precise amounts of chemicals without losing the seals and it'll then partly analyze the result of the reaction.

There are a couple possible fixes that I was thinking of but I'm not sure if either is feasible. The first one is that I've heard some talk about dual booting. Now to the best of my understanding, this seems to be something like having two operating systems on a computer and choosing which one to run during start up. Hopefully someone can tell me if I'm close at all and if this is feasible.

The second solution is tricking vista. Is there anyway I could install the device on vista with the windows 2000 driver. I know I wouldn't be able to run it via vista but I wouldn't want to anyway. Somehow install it in vista (it would basically be useless there since the computer wouldn't be able to communicate with it). Then, run windows 2000 in a virtual console and mount the machine through the usb port since it would be an installed device and therefore valid to use.A dual boot setup may be the best overall solution then...
Vista i'm guessing would not even proceed with the Win2K driver install so that approach is out of the question.

A suggestion for dual-booting.
Check to see if your BIOS supports switching the drive to boot to...most newer boards do.
This is to simplify things as Windows gets funky without the older OS being installed first. So instead of messing with your Vista install trying to install another flavor of Windows on the same drive we'll take a common sense tack and set it up on a seperate HDD.
Basically to do so you need another formatted clean HDD.
The procedure is relatively simple but needs to be done correctly to work properly.

All i need to know is:
1) Does your BIOS enable you to switch between boot drives ?
2) Are you using IDE or SATA drives or a combination of the two ?
3) Do you have a Win2K CD ?

In the meantime DLoad and run Everest Home (Free) and start assembling a collection of Win2K drivers...you'll need the MBoard drivers; Sound; Video; of course that printer and any others that Everest lists.

Post back when you've got the drive and all the Win2k drivers and an answer to the 3 questions....

Can anyone suggest a good free auto back program, I wish to back up every day.

Hello,

My computer is a HP paviion with Service Pack 2. I am getting a new digital camera and am trying to get rid of old software from others I had.

In my Task Manager there is an icon that says exif launcher. If I click that it takes me to FinePix Viewer. When I TRY to delete Finepix Viewer from Add/Remove in CONTROL Panel, it gives me a wizard to install it. I want to remove it.

Please can someone help me?

Thank youIf you proceed beyond that point, does it give you the OPTION to remove?

I have FinePix Viewer installed. My Add or Remove Programs list shows FOUR items which I believe all come from the installation of FinePix Viewer. I see:
FinePix Viewer Resource
FinePix Viewer Ver 5.0
FUJIFILM USB Driver
ImageMixer VCD for FinePix


So, you may need to do multiple removals to remove everything related to FinePix Viewer.

I'm currently compiling a list of best (and free) software essentials for Windows XP and Vista into a zip/rar file which I will upload to a site later.

Currently I'm struggling to FIND a free (and good) disk imager. It's a toss up between O & O or Acronis. If anybody else feels there is a better brand, please feel free to name it.What are you trying to achieve? How do the best free software list in a zip file, a host/web site, and a disk image program RELATE to one another? Do you intend to link the software list to a site for download, sharing, and/or back up a image of it on the site or what?

Note: Feel free to download my freeware list (word format) with links, in my sites LISTED in both my signature's below...You don't need to know what I'm trying to achieve here. All I REQUEST is a freeware program that is highly recommended and used by MANY people.check out sourceforge.net

When I attempt to close iTunes it freezes and is unresponsive. I must GO through the task manager and END the process.
This problem didn't exist on the LAST version of itunes, before I had my hard drive replaced. but now it does. I recently had my hard drive replaced so I transfered my music from a portable hard drive to the new hard drive now this problem HAPPENS.
I am running windows vista home premium 64 bit.
Any suggestions?

yes , my Mboard support USB .

First off all I just want to THANK EVERYONE in advance since I have gotten help here before on some pretty big computer issues before..
Well this time I am thinking of formatting and starting fresh since it has been three years and there are still some issues with my system. Although I have formatted many times before, the last time I did everything ran slow and I ended up running the recovery disk that came with the computer initially to have everything installed for me. This worked somewhat last time but I have upgraded my computer with a new SOUND card and a new video card since so I would imagine the recovery disk would install the wrong things.
How should I GO about reinstalling everything? Should I reset my BIOS after the format or just leave it be?

P.S. The other problem is that I am not sure if I have drivers for everything and I am not sure if I will be able to find them. Is there some program or website that would be able to scan to see what hardware I have installed?

hi all....sorry if this has been asked before, I have searched the database and cannot find it so here goes..
I recently created an image in paintshop and EMAILED it to my friend. who has since deleted the image but everytime he OPENS microsoft word 2000, this image automatically inserts itself into every document I have also deleted the image off my pc so i cannot look to see what the file name was so i can search for it on his pc....as it is obviously there somewhere....is there anyway you can think of to stop it automatically inserting itself into any word document.

His pc is windows xp and his office suite is office2000

thanks in advance... daveDoes your friend still have the email message you sent to him? If not, did he save the attachment before deleting the email message?i hope it is not some kind of VIRUS Is he using the "signature" FEATURE ? ?he did save the picture into his "my Pictures" folder. he then deleted the email and since then has deleted the picture from his pictures folder. I just placed the picyure into an email I did not send it has an attachment...


I did not know there was a signature feature in office 2000. he would CERTAINLY not know about it either...Did he, at some point, intentionally use that image in a Word file?
yes he did put it into a word fileAdvise him to try this: How to repair Normal.Dot Word default template?thanks for all your help guys....I will get him to try the above

Is it possible to take the updates from an updated avg anti-spyware scanner an put it in other spyware scanner? I tried download the update an had no success in install so wondering, cause I have a pc with the latest definitons.Why would you want to do this ? ?

Hi! I've updated my Windows Media Player to version 11 and now whenever I try to access WMP related items (i.e., there's some RADIO stations from home that stream content online that I listen to) online the computer 1) all but locks up if it has to open WMP externally or 2) if opening in a pop-up browser window it won't load the content period and when I right click on said window and try to get error details I'm told that "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. If the file is LOCATED on the Internet, connect to the Internet. If the file is located on a removable storage card, INSERT the storage card." Clicking on web help does nothing. I've tried uninstalling WMP 11, running CCleaner, and then reinstalling it, but I'm STILL having the same problem.

Computer's running XP SP2, Intel Pentium 4 CPU 1.6 GHz, 319 MB RAM, and an ATI 16 MB Rage 128 Ultra video card. Thanks in advance for help and advice. You guys are great! -Infant999Welcome to CH.

My trial subscription to Microsoft Office and Works recently RAN out. I did not want to pay MS for all those programs when all I ever USE is the word processor. So I did a Google on word processors and found a free program CALLED OpenOffice. I d/l it and it works fine except that my computer slowed way down. I was surfing the FAQ's here on software and found the perfect post by Dilbert. Not only did he recommend this free program but he INCLUDED instructions on how to disable the Quickstart. I followed his instructions and bingo! I now have a free word processor that is compatible with Microsoft's Word and my computer is back up to speed. Thanks again Dilbert!

I have two questions:

1. Can I safely remove Microsoft Office and Works from my computer?
2. I really only use the word processor of OpenOffice. Can I safely remove the other
programs that came with OpenOffice?

Cheers,
MarkYes you can uninstall MS Office. I am not sure about what you can uninstall from Open Office.

I can tell you this I had the same problem...wanting a word processor. I didn't want or need anything else. How I SOLVED my problem was with a free word program called AbiWord. It looks and acts just like MS word and get this...its about 6 megs!

Hello

I have a lot of email addresses and need to export them from an XP into a Vista laptop as well as work with them on an ongoing basis. I've tried using the import/export wizards to no help. It just says "cannot be imported from the MAPI client".

The XP is using Outlook, the Vista laptop is using Outlook Express.

I'm using a USB "Tornado" file transfer tool to connect the two machines.

Thank you for any help.

It doesn't even try to look for anything, no navigation attempt whatsoever, it just instantly gives that message.

The Messages option give me 4 more options...

Microsoft Exchange

Microsoft Outlook Express 6
Microsoft Windows Mail

The Microsoft Outlook option just gives an instant error message about "cannot be imported from the MAPI client"

The Windows Mail 7 option brings up a Browse files dialog box but it looks for a folder only. I have the csv file on the desktop but it does not see it.

I have a HP 2175 PSC printer attached to a new HP Pavillion Intel Q6600 Quad with 3gb memory and Vista Home Premium. After hooking up the printer and installing the software we wind up with a printing program that will not scan into the computer. On the old XP it INSTALLED with a program called "HP Director" for the scanning mode. Can't find this program installed anywhere on my computer, even though I installed it from the PSC disk that came with printer.

Any help offered will be much appreciated.

Once I finished upgrading, I tried to send an email from my contact, HOWEVER I saw that A PERSON's name was repeated multiple times for each valid email that they had. for example if John SMITH had [emailprotected] and [emailprotected], I see 2 John Smith enteries instead of 1 like i USED to see in outlook 2000. What is the setting that I have to use to make Outlook 2003 put any email assoiciated with 1 name to stay in 1 entery and not multiple enteries? Here is a picture to demonstrate the problem:

I have 4 computers, with DIFFERENT user for different family MEMBERS. All of them have access to the Internet. Our internet provider is now limiting downloads to 60G per month but the total download for us far pass the limit. Is there a software that can give me access to control the downloads on other computers using this one? Without installing anything on the other computers but gives me control to how much they download.

Please give me a list of software I can go through. It does not have to be free.iNet Protector is the world's number one tool for controlling Internet access. With iNet Protector you can restrict internet access at specified times or on DEMAND. You can also password protect internet connection.

Hi, I just upgraded my Bigpond ADSL to ADSL+2. I have a Siemens speedstream 4200 router which I made compatible with the ADSL+2 by downloading some FIRMWARE for it. Everything is working fine except now Mailwasher Pro and Thunderbird get errors when trying to access my mail. I can view my mail online with bigpond, but can't figure out why I can no longer use my programs to get my mail. Mailwasher tells me: The POP sever is not responding appropriately, make sure you have specified the address of a POP server.
Thunderbird tells me: An error occurred with the POP3 mail server. Mail.bigpond.com responded: then it's blank.
I can still send email from Thunderbird, and I've NOTICED that each time I open one of these programs that AVG antivirus email scanner comes up, which says: AutoPOP3: connecting to: then it has an IP address. I've tried to look up the address and apparently it doesn't exist??
If ANYONE has any IDEA at all what is going on, it would be greatly appreciated, I'm not very technically-minded......I have XP SP2 by the way......hope someone can help ThanksIn ThunderBird right clik your Account andd select Properties then server settings...
Write down what it says under POP3 and check it against what your ISP's settings should be.
The SMTP settings are fine if you are able to send mail so no need to check those.

Do this for all accounts you are having incoming troubles with.Thanks for your reply. I've checked those settings and it has made no difference, I still get the same errors. I've tried reinstalling and turning off my antivirus too, and nothing has worked......Any other suggestions? Thanks again...I've worked out what the problem was (after calling TECH support for bigpond who were no help and blamed it on my antivirus). It was the firewall setting in my router, the connection to my mail was timing out, so I've turned it off. I've never had an issue with having the firewall on in my router before, so I don't really understand the 'why's' of it, but it solved the issue. Thank you for taking the time to reply patio You're more than Welcome ...glad you found Us...

I'm serious.

Medisoft is a medical billing program. 4.32a is the last release of the DOS version. I am trying to format a BILL for a SPECIFIC insurance company. Each date of service line requires that my personal ID number be listed over my national ID number. Each date of service line is 2 rows WIDE, so my personal ID number appears on the top line and the national on the bottom. I am using the CMS 1500 billing forms, if you are familiar with these. I have gotten the form formatted CORRECTLY with one exception. It prints out one extra line with my personal ID number on it. I am having to use white out to get rid of the extra row of numbers. There are "IF:" and "PRINT:" STATEMENTS for each field on the bill. Any ideas of how to get this formatted so I can quit buying white out would be greatly appreciated. The computer I use for billing is a Dell Dimension 4700. The OS is Windows XP-Home.

Wasn't sure which forum to post this in, but basically the audio on my computer is majorly bugged.

When I start up my computer, I will (on most occasions) hear the windows log in NOISE. But after that, none of my applications will output audio unless I open them straight away.

In the audio part of Control Panel, it tells me "No audio device" but this is not the case, I have my speakers properly connected and the latest drivers installed. The only way I can resolve the problem, is to restart my computer, then whatever program I need to use to have sound I have to open first. It will give me sound from that program, but nothing else - and it will still tell me no audio device detected, DESPITE the FACT that it is playing (some) audio.

I'm using Windows XP, Packard Bell speakers (and headphones have the same problem too), and onboard audio as far as i'm aware.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!You may need to reinstall your motherboard chipset driver.
Reinstall sound driver afterwards.I have reinstalled all the drivers that came with my motherboard now, and still got the same problem. Any other ideas?Did you uninstall/reinstall sound drivers afterwards?I did that, it seemed to work but after a couple of minutes it was telling me no audio device detected again, and no sound was being produced Is it on-board sound? It may be going south.Yes I think so, I don't have an additional sound card if thats what you mean. The audio driver is Realtek HD Audio.

Its a fairly NEW Motherboard though.The only way to find out for sure, is to borrow a real sound card from a friend...Put in a new sound card the other day, and the problem has gotten better, in that it will give me sound most of the time, but still on occasions it will tell me No Audio Device detected, and I get nothing...Did you try another slot?One thing is...you arent killing a SVCHOST.EXE process in task manager? these processes are all related to different things in windows...one is apprearances, one is sound, and one is networking...and a fewmore...(hey this is off the top of my head )...any ways, as a temporary fix, try this.

Click Start > Run.

in the box type "SERVICES.msc" (without the quote marks)

when the big list of services appears, scroll through the list to find "Windows Audio" (It's in alphabetical order )

highlight it and on the side, note if it says service is stopped, running or started...if stopped, click start this service. if running, click restart this service and if that doesnt work, stop the service, then start it...and try to play audio after that just note this gets annoying so we still need to find a permanent fix

Kurtis

So I'm TRYING to run easy card CREATOR on Windows 2000. I had to update the service packs and the .net framework to get it to install and it installed now no problem.

thanks,
coreMost DVD burning packages (like Roxio or Nero) include menu creation. However, they're not compatible with other programs. Everything must be done together.

If the program you have doesn't make DVD menus, you'll NEED to find one that does and USE that instead of DVDShrink.Do on search on these sites for tutorials/guides at afterdawn and the comprehensive video help com...

Have HP 5550c scanner, no longer supported by HP. Uninstalled software to make room for new non-scanner stuff. Upon reinstall error message reads: "An error occurreed communicating with the scanning device. Please ensure that the scanning device is connected properly and try again."

HP has this error message in their archive, but the fix doesn't work for me.

I have downloaded their 'fix' software with no change. I have loaded the 'fix' on a second computer and the Scan function WORKS just fine.

I can scan using Control Panel, Scanners. I can copy using HP software that accompanies the scanning software.

My set-up is XP, SP2, Scanner VIA USB connection. Large number of software installs, but disk SPACE not an issue, and there is plenty of memory available.

I have uninstalled all Adobe software and all Omnipage software. Searched for all detritus which is now deleted.. Regedit to remove all Adobe and Omnipage entries. Scanner software reinstalled with scanner unplugged and USB connection separated at Scanner.

Does anyone know of any other software that might interfere with HP scanning software? Any other fixes?? I am trying desperately to avoid formatting and reinstalling everything again.
The scanner 'works' so I am hesitant to replace it with new.

Thanks. OG 327

Is there a way to recover deleted mail in MS Office OUTLOOK, 2007 with SP1. I am running Vista Home PREMIUM Subjects were deleted this DATE. Any help, advise or SUGGESTIONS will be appreciated.
Thank, eddie460

hi mate i have a strange problem with my pc. My motherboard brand ASUS TUSI-M with 256 mb memory...during XP installation its automatically shut down..What should i do to solve this problem..im a new memberHow far does it get?
Do you get the whole way through installation and then it reboots but never restarts?
Or does it immediately turn off when you START installation?

Is the hardware new? That is, has it ever run any operating SYSTEM before? There could be some odd hardware or high memory problem. Maybe BIOS overrides the memory CAS timing or similar. It wouldn't hurt to look through the BIOS to see if anything is not set to a default value for a GOOD reason. If you can burn a CD, you could download Memtest86 and use it to test the system's memory.

A failing or underpowered power supply could also do something like that.Is this a shiny MS XP CD with holograms all over it ? ?
256MG of RAM is gonna be painful...it actually may be hanging the install itself.

Hi.
So I've got a..... 3.6.0.248 version of Skype downloaded from the official website , not torrents or anything and it SOMETIMES just crashes. The "Send ERROR Report " stuff appeares and I say "Don't Send".....
Skype SIMPLY crashes when I try to:
1. Edit a message (right click>edit message)
2. View a message WITCH has been posted by a USER , after I have blocked him. I mean trying to read that message after un-blocking him again later , after about 5 or 6 minutes.

ANY IDEAS uninstall skype, reboot, reinstall most recent version of skype.

I am preparing an article using Word2000 that I want to send in an email, copy to web sites and copy to a publisher. I have prepared a figure using the capabilities on the Drawing tool bar. The figure appears on the Print View but not on the Normal View. It disappears when copied to web sites and in emails. There is some mechanism to embed the figure in the Normal View in later versions of Word.define figure; is it a number? or a person?

is it a clipart you have drawn in word?

And what do you mean by later versions of word?

Not quite sure what you are dealing with and what you wish to do.

You want to see this 'figure' display on screen other than in print view and wish to know if it will display on other versions of word when you get it displaying on W2000?
I used the capabilities on the Drawing tool bar to produce a graph. I was advised that there was a CAPABILITY in the Draw menu that would enable me to make my graph an object. But this would not work on my Word2000 and the adviser said it worked for the Word that he had, which I presumed was a later version.Do you have Excel, also? If so, then I suggest you create your graph in Excel and copy it into Word. I've never tried to "draw" a graph in Word but, being an Excel user, I can't image doing that when I can use Excel for graphs.I do have Excel but I have had no experience with it. I have looked at the Chart Wizard and will now gain experience with it as I believe it will be worthwhile to become familiar with using Excel. Thanks for the suggestion.I have no acquired some experience with using Excel and producing Charts (graphs in my case) from it. I appreciate the suggestion that I use it. I now want to produce a fairly complex FLOW diagram. Should I learn how to use Power Point for that purpose or is there some more appropriate package?I don't have much experience with PowerPoint, so I'm not sure whether it would suit your purpose BETTER than other MS Office applications. Flow charting is another area where Excel can be used. I don't whether it's sophisticated enough in the flow charting area for your needs but I would suggest looking into it. Here's a hit from a Google search on flow charts with Excel: Using the Excel Flow Chart Template. And, you might find a useful template from http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/CT101443491033.aspxI cannot download any of the suggested flowcharts because my system is Windows 98SE. I have Office 2000 and its Excel did not have any flowchart templates that I could find.If you do not have the Drawing toolbar displayed in Excel, add the toolbar and then look at the AutoShapes tool. It has flowcharting symbols for drawing a flowchart. Once you have started a flowchart with the Flowchart options under AutoShapes, you can change an "AutoShape" by clicking on Draw, Change AutoShape, Flowchart.

To display the Drawing toolbar, right click on a blank part of the toolbar at the top of Excel and select, i.e. click on, Drawing from the list of toolbars.

Try searching Help in your Excel on key words, draw flowchart, or something similar. Excel 2003 has Help info on this. I also have Excel 97 on an older computer. It has the flowchart drawing tools, but I found nothing in it's Help on drawing a flowchart.I had used the Drawing tool bar in Word and that did not have flowchart. The Excel I am working with does have it and the Help does does have help on flowchart. now I can get to work! thanks for your help!

my daughter was playing with my laptop & changed the password, she CANT rembember it??? any IDEAS of what to do to FIX it?Double POST. Topic closed.

kristiane66,
i did this for a customer with a similar problem,
may be kind of a weird way to do it,
BUT, it worked, try this:
are you using xp/vista?
if so,
use your 'roll-back / recover / restore' FUNCTION,
in other words,
go back to the day before you did the 'lame' copy-paste-save thing,
B-U-T
make sure anything you've done since is backed up,
because it sure will be gone!!!
Kristiane66: Did you try and do a file search yet if not try doing that to see if anything comes up.try looking here for a version of your document that has been auto saved.

C:\Documents and Settings\*(your user)*\Application Data\Microsoft\Word

You will have to allow hidden files/folders to be viewed

TOOLS > FOLDER OPTIONS > VIEW (tab) > select the "show hidden files / folders radio button

Hope it works*You can send your computer into a data recovery company and see if they can find it. It will likely be very expensive, but may be WORTH it, ESPECIALLY if it's for a masters or doctorate.guess OP either jumped off that cliff,
or just lost interest in the thread,
I think she decided to start over on her work. I'm GUESSING she hasn't been back to check.if u computer using NTFS,try out this software : getbackNTFS and if u computer using FAT32, try out this software : getbackFAT32.

today i lost my document after format the pc, but thanks god that i had recover my document back by using this software.

Hi,
I've lost my original CD for Office Pro 2003 but I need to reinstall it as
something seems to be corrupted.
I'm not TECHNICAL at all so need help/advice on what to do with a brown box
I have with Microsoft OEM System BUILDER Pack (Office Pro 2003 Win32 EN w/SP2
1pk DSP OEI CD) written on it. I was sent this directly by my insurance
company two years ago after I was burgled and my computer was stolen. I have
no idea what this is or what to do with it - system builder pack sounds scary
to me, so have never opened the box and it is still sealed.
Will this let me re-install it? And do I need ANYTHING else? The website
said something about preinstallation kits and I have no idea what they're on
about. I'm scared to try incase I mess up my computer. I'm quite desperate
and on the verge of throwing the *censored* thing out of the window as I urgently
need to get to reports I can't currently access.
Many thanks for any help/insights!
I suggest you call Microsoft Technical Support and describe what happened and what you have. They can walk you through the procedure based on the OEM disk and verify what you have.

They may DEEM the disk incompatible, or they may help you install what you have. I tried, but being sunday they're closed. I'll try them tomorrow, thanks.

Hi,

I wasn't sure whether to post this in the programming section or not so here goes.

I have been using DarkBasic Pro to make basic games, as well as using Invis AC3D as a 3D modelling program.

My problem is that the trial period is now over and I can no longer use AC3D software. It is important that I can because I have an assignment due in next week which i cannot complete without the AC3D modelling software.

So if you could either;

A) Suggest another (free) program that can do 3D modelling, and export objects in a number of formats, specifically DirectX (.x file extension).

or

B) Show me how to bypass the trial period on the AC3D software. I have tried numerous THINGS that do not work, uninstalling and reinstalling, removing data from the program files, removing the REGISTRY entries, changing the system date in the BIOS but none of them seem to work.

Your help would be much appreciated, thanks. Or C) Pay for the program.

It's against policy to help you do this here. Please don't ask for something like this again.

Try searching on Google for free 3D modelling programs or, as Spoiler said, pay for the one you have.

There's no need to be patronising

I need to find a program that is free and checks GRAMMAR. I already have Microsoft word 2007, but to be honest it is not good at checking grammar. Can anyone suggest a good program? Thanks!I can't suggest a good program because I've never tried any of them other than Word's grammar checker, which I agree is not always accurate. So, I suggest browsing through the search results at http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=grammar+checking+software&btnG=Google+SearchSchool.
