How do you get the short cut buttons to work that opens mail and enables wireless etc. on a Acer Aspire 5720?

On my acer aspire 5720 I find that they all seem to work fine.. Do you mean that they don't do anything at all ? because I want to change what the mail button does but they do all seem to open something and I have not had to configure anything.

How does the use of computers help save time in business communication?

The simplest example - would be email ! Before emails, businesses had to send bills, invoices etc by post - which could take days or weeks - especially during holidays such as Easter and Christmas.

Email is instantly delivered - enabling people to send invoices and such within minutes of receiving an order. This means the customer can be kept up to date with the state of their order, and the company can process orders much quicker - resulting in increased business.

As an example - I recently needed a replacement battery for my mobile phone. The cheapest one I found was on Amazon's web-site. I placed the order, my bank account was debited within minutes, and the battery was delivered in 48 hours. If I'd had to write to Amazon, the letter could have taken two days just to be collected from the post box. Add another day for delivery of the letter to Amazon, another day to process the order and two days for the postal service to deliver he battery - a total of sixdays.

How do I counter ActivTrak... My boss uses it to watch what I?

If your boss installs software to track you, he might not react kindly if you uninstall it, or install software that counters it.I suggest you simply don't use your work computer for things that are unrelated to your work.

If you don't like the idea of such a lack of privacy, you might also talk frankly with your boss; asking him to abstain from such practices. (However, you might argue that your company has a right to know that you aren't wasting your time - they pay you, after all.)

If you can't come to an agreement with your boss, you might also consider working somewhere else... if you have this option.

Why are program instructions represented in binary notations?

Program instructions are represented in binary notation because computers operate using binary logic, which consists of two states: on (1) and off (0). This binary representation allows for efficient processing and storage of data, as electronic circuits can easily distinguish between these two states. Additionally, binary notation simplifies the design of computer architecture, enabling faster computations and more reliable error detection. Using binary also ensures compatibility across various hardware and software systems.

How do you burn a CD to play in a regular CD player?

Use windows media player or winamp:

What are the down sides of computers?

Yes, there are a handful of downsides. Like any machine, computers can break. They also require electricity to operate, so they won't work if there is no power. That leads to another problem, and that is an excessive dependence on computers. So when the power goes out, we may feel lost. Excessive dependence on computers can set us up for safety problems too. You've probably heard of people driving with GPS systems and driving off of cliffs. That proves it is easy to get mentally lazy and let computers be a place for common sense.

Then there are other problems such as computers getting incompatible with software and new hardware as time passes. When newer hardware components are made, they don't always work with older computers. So if a part goes bad, then you have to replace other things to get the replacement part to fit and work. Then newer operating systems require newer hardware, and if you want/need to run the latest version of whatever operating system, then you will be forced to upgrade. Even the OS writers set things up in such a way to where you have to upgrade your OS. That may force you to upgrade your PC too, and if you get a new PC or significantly modify it, you may be forced to purchase a new OS.

How do you get an accent over e?

You have a few options for writing characters with accent marks.

1. The easy but slow method. There are little numerical codes that you can memorize (or write on a sticky note). To use them, hold down the Alt key while you type the numbers, then when you let go of Alt, the character should appear. You must use the number pad (make sure Num Lock is on) rather than the horizontal row of numbers above the letters. Here are some common codes for French:

é = 0233, è = 0232, ç = 0231, à = 0224, ê = 0234

2. The even easier but even slower method. Windows has a little application called Character Map. On my computer (Vista) it can be found under Start Menu > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools. (I put a shortcut for it on my "quick launch" bar.) You can click on whatever character you want, then click "Select" to put it in the text box, then click "Copy" and paste it (Ctrl + v) into whatever you want. You can also see the 4-digit Alt code in the lower right.

3. The BEST method if you plan on typing in a foreign language on a regular basis. Go into the Control Panel and find where you can make changes to the keyboard. You can add additional input languages, which you will be able to switch back and forth to using the language bar, which is easily dockable on the right of the start bar. You can also assign almost any key combination to act as a shortcut to switch between languages. Now you can make your keyboard act like it was from another country! For example, on keyboards in France, the é character is where our 2 key is, so if you're in the French keyboard mode, pressing 2 will produce the é. Also, a few of the letters are in different spots (for example, Q and A have switched places), so it could take a while to get used to, but if you're a touch typist you should have no problem.

How do you correct a 0x03del7a8 problem on the computer?

The memory location (that's what it is, a place in RAM) given to you by the error console is only useful for the developer of the software. He may be able to use it to figure out why a given application crashed. No tip can be given based on the memory address, without even knowing the application or circumstances.
