the easiest way is right click on my computer- then go to -properties
the general tab should tell that info.
or go to control panel - systems - and the same thing will pop up

for printer/scanner settings go to that section in the control panel and right click on the printer or scanner that is displayed for the preferences & properties and check to see which is set as default
make sure the one you want to use is set as default

for your IE7- I think just go to view/toolbars/customize?
maybe someone else knows it better - i don't use it-
I use the Netscape or Mozilla Firefox browsers.

Thanks ever so much.

all the best

Ugh,I did something wrong, and now there is no File, View, Edit thing on the top of my screen.

When I look at anything while i am on the internet, there is no File, edit, etc. etc. way up at the top.

How do I bring this back. I absolutely hate this Internet Explorer 7.

thanks
Melody

you might have hit the full screen button?
But if nothing at all shows up top- no icons or anything?
maybe you screen size was changed or settings on your monitor- does does screen seem centered or off center?

my monitor has a auto button to refresh the screen/view on the front - but only rarely do i need to use it.

2 free - well known browsers - and safer and faster than IE
if you download them them click to install them - you can import your IE favs and such to them.

I make a downloads folder on my desktop - and send all downloads to it. so I can find them and they are organized.

Alan would never touch anything on the monitor, he doesn't know how. And I never touched it either. But on the top of the new IE7, there are no File, edit, view, etc. etc.

And I still can't see my favorites on the left side of the screen.

oh my.

LIfe is good again. I found a little button on the right side called Tools.
I found a menu thing. I fixed everything.

Life is good.

Thanks so much.

My first system I had to connect the scanner to the printer and the printer to the tower; or was it visa versa?
That is at least I remember them not both being plugged into the tower...it was a pathway through one to the other. One was somehow in the middle. But that was in 1999.
