The first control in an array named txtNum is referred to as which of these following txt Num0 or txtNum0 or txtNum0 or txtNum1?

My Experience from VisualBASIC says that, given an array (such as txtNum[]) has its first piece of data (element) at txtNum[0].

dim txtNum as Array
//Fill Array with 3 pieces of data
print txtNum
("Hello","This is text","This is also text")
print txtNum[0]
Hello

etc

Depending on your programming language, the syntax of how it is represented will change (i.e. VisualBASIC is Array_Name[Array_Index]) but in all the programming languages i can think of, the first element in an Array is index #0.

Is it better to shut down computer or leave it on?

With the newer computers the "Sleep" (stand by) mode works fine. If it's "days" before you use it again then i usually just turn it off. The computer runs a "Maintenance" program around 2:00 ish in the morning so it doesn't hurt to leave it on overnight once in awhile if you don't use it very often. It won't do the maintenance if the computer is asleep tho. So disable the "Automatically Sleep" option for those days. You can still use the "Display Sleep" no problem. I believe it will still do the maintenance if you turn the "Put hard disk to sleep when possible" mode in the Preferences/Energy Saver. It just pauses the hard drive so it's not spinning until you need it.

What if your computer says runs on Vista?

Vista is just a version of Windows; the version after Windows XP and before Windows 7. If a machine is Vista-ready or Vista-compatible, it just means that the hardware and available drivers are compatible with Windows Vista. You might be able to run that PC on Windows 7 or 8, but it depends, and you would have to check with the manufacturer to find out what all it is compatible with.

Why do only some of my movies on my passport hard drive play on my tv?

The most likely cause will be that some of your movies are in the TV's native playback format, and some are not. Look for some conversion software to convert the dead movies into the same format as the good movies.

(EG: If the TV plays AVI, convert to AVI, if the TV plays WMV and NOT AVI, convert to WMV)

Why will and upgrade save time over a fresh installtion?
