Orosho has hidden a folder and can't seem to find it again.

First make all files viewable, Orosho. Open My Computer, then select (depending on the windows version) either View or Tools /Folder Options/View. Now check "Show Hidden Files or Folders" and click Apply/OK. Now search for the folder. Right click on Start, select Find and then type in the file or folder name in the Named box. In the Look In box select the name of your hard drive - usually "C". Click Find Now.

David's Outlook text prints at a huge size, yet the header and footer are fine.

It's because your print drivers are set to a different font size, David. Changing the font size to smallest in both Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, then restarting Windows and changing it back to medium should fix the problem. In Explorer it's done by: View/Text size then select the size you want. In Outlook Express: Tools/Options/Read/Fonts then in the font size box, click the size then OK/OK and Exit Outlook Express.

Bryce is frustrated when he gets a 25MB download and finds his Windows Media Player refuses to play it because it's a Real Media (.rm) file. His machine hates the real media player and he urgently needs a solution.

You may want to try this download of "Media Jukebox", Bryce(See link below). It allows conversion of files and also plays most formats (including .rm).

When Dot checks her e-mail, she gets a message, "The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server." She wants to get rid of this annoying message.

You have an outward e-mail that cannot be delivered because you have addressed it incorrectly, Dot. The mail server is confused and therefore refuses to send it. Click on your "Out" box, open the e-mail and check the "To" address. It should read person@domain.country (eg - inbox@herald.co.nz). Check to see it is exactly as it should be. Or if you don't want it, right click and delete it.

Lorna has a strange Kak message! Her machine spits out: "Kagou -anti-krd-soft says not today". When she presses OK it turns the computer off. On top it says "Driver Memory Error HTML Application".

One word explains it, Lorna - Virus. McAfee, if updated, should find this virus and Norton Anti Virus with the latest definition update also identifies it.
