678293 2008-06-14 02:52:00 I've just installed Ubnutu 7.10 onto my computer and I just want to ask you a few questions (there will be alot).

1. How can I make the computer boot into Windows automatically without them asking me which OS to boot to?

2. Is there a "Paint" program in Ubnutu 7.10?

3. I was trying to set up my modem on Ubnutu and then when I click on the two computer screens at the top then click on Connect via Modem . Connect ppp0 modem (something like that) (my ISP is KiwiOnline Dial Up) nothing happens. I read the help file and it says you have to enter a DNS Adderss so I called KiwiOnline and they told me to enter "202.150.96.1" (without the speech marks) but it didn't work. What does DNS Address even mean and so how can I connect to the Internet?

4. When you edit documents on Ubnutu and save the changes wwill the changes be seen on Windows?

5. One of the users can't see the language bar on the taskbar(in Windows). I made sure that (Right Click on Taskbar) > Toolbars > Language Bar was ticked but I coudn't even see "Language Bar" in the menu. It used to be there.

6. Okay, this is the last time I'm going to ask you. Is there any way to fix the Installation Packages in MS Office 2003:
. MSXML5.MSP
. PRO11.MSI (optional)
Is there any way to fix them using Notepad, Registry Editor or anyting else? Otherwise, can I burrow anyone's Windows XP Installation Disk or MS Office Disc (Any Version)?:thanks :thanks :thanks
Thank You so much if you have helped me in these questions.:thanks ;)

as to Q6 depends where you are

678295 2008-06-14 05:00:00 You have two options:
a) Boot into windows and download and install EasyBCD (neosmart.net). Once thats done add-in an ubuntu entry and set the boot time-out (how long it delays before before it runs the highlighted OS) Set it to something short, like 3 seconds so you have enough time to boot to ubuntu if you wish.
b) Edit the boot GRUB file in Ubuntu.
Follow these instructions if all else fails:

678296 2008-06-14 06:20:00 Q4 if the files are saved into another partition other than windows or Linux then they should be viewable by both just depends on the files format as to whether both can actually open them correctly though gary67 (56)

2. Is there a "Paint" program in Ubnutu 7.10?


its ubuntu not ubnutu. :D

don't know if all linux versions install it but have a look for Gimp for the "Paint" alternative.
