780426 2009-06-07 21:18:00 Is there any available substitute for Flash Player? It requires 32 bit browser.

What is the best freeware file for editing screenshots? Paint has now disppeared from Win 7.

780427 2009-06-07 21:22:00 No there is no substitute for 64 bit flash. You'll have to use a 32 bit browser. There's Picasa, Irfanview Speedy Gonzales (78)
780428 2009-06-07 21:42:00 An upgraded version of Paint is in my version of Windows 7 (Release Canidate version on the PCWorld disk) and there is Paint.net apparently written to replace Paint but never included in the distribution. Paint.net supports layers which is quite handy. McGinty48 (14880)
780429 2009-06-07 21:59:00 Paint has disappeared?

Eh? Type paint in the start search box and hit enter...it has a new ribbon interface

For simple photo editing, Irfranview or Ashampoo editor or paint.net

Next time please open your own thread:)

What you need to do is enter your bios, try tapping Delete or F1 key, should say what key to hit on the bios splash screen.

Once you are in the bios you'll need to set the boot order to CD/DVD first.

Or, with some bios's tap F8 as soon as you press the PC power button, and you'll get to a screen to choose what to boot from.

780433 2009-06-07 23:48:00 Right mouse / properties on the shortcut. it should tell you WHERE it is

And if its on the desktop run it then it'll open. Then paste whatever into it then save it
