What operating system was used before Microsoft was invented?
hi,
First of all let me tell you one thing that before Microsoft there was very little scope for personal computers and softwares related to those computers. Still there were some softwares and software building programming languages. FORTRAN or formula translation, the first high level programming language, was invented by John Backus for IBM, in 1954, and released commercially, in 1957. It is still used today for programming scientific and mathematical applications. Fortran began as a digital code interpreter for the IBM 701 and was originally named Speedcoding. John Backus wanted a programming language closer to human language, which is the definition of a high level language.
At that time the softwares available were Aldus Pagemaker, Trillian, Wordstar, Computer Chess, VisiCalc Spreadsheet. WordStar - The First Word Processor Released in 1979 by Micropro International, WordStar was the first commercially successful word processing software program produced for microcomputers and the best selling software program of the early eighties. first desktop publishing program was created by Paul Brainard and a company called Aldus, the program called "Aldus Pagemaker 1.0" was released in July, 1985 for the "Macintosh" and in December, 1986, for the "IBM". If you go with the history of operating system than previously there was nothing except UNIX.

Where can you download the latest version of windows messenger?
MSN Messenger now known as Windows Live Messenger can be downloaded as a free download from many sites such as CNET and Tucows. They have an excellent reputation for providing free and shareware programs without added surprises such as viruses and trojans.
What state are cmos setting usually placed after a bios update?
To the contrary, it depends on the motherboard. For example, with Gigabyte motherboards, the current settings can be maintained even during a flash update of the BIOS. This is probably accomplished by virtue of the fact that unlike most other manufacturers, Gigabyte uses two BIOS chips on the board so that in case one goes bad or a flash update goes awry, the backup will either take over and operate the machine or it will erase and repopulated the primary with a copy of itself to get the machine restored to proper operation.
So, if you use Gigabyte and select the option to keep the settings, it will do so. With other manufacturers, Idisjunction is correct that the BIOS will most often be set back to defaults, thus requiring you to go back into the BIOS to make whatever settings changes you had before to get things back to normal.
What are some types of file extensions used to store text?
.txt is the usual extension used with text files. There is also .rtf (rich text format) and .html (hypertext markup language) which are stored in plain text format, although they are not specifically text files.
They are stored wherever the user wants to save them to. There is usually a default folder to save them to that can be set in the options in Excel. Normally it is the user's My Documents folder. It can be changed and the user is free to save a file wherever they want to if they don't want it to go to the default folder, so there is no single answer to the question.
How can you take everything off of an old computer and reinstall Windows 98?
You can take off applications that you want to keep but you must have a good means of storing that application like with a zip drive or flash USB storage device. Can I ask a question, what do you mean when you say "take everything off" in computer terms that means a "format" which means you will be formatting your hard drive which will remove EVERYTHING, I mean start you from the beginning. This means you will not have an operating system and will need to reinstall Windows to get back going, but be mindful, EVERYTHING you had on that computer will be erased.
LOTS Better Find yourself a "zero-fill" utility. There are plenty of free ones online; most of the major hard drive makers supply one with every drive they sell. The "zero-fill" utility should be on a bootable disk, be it a CD-ROM or a floppy, depending on your system. Run the "zero-fill" utility on your PC. Be patient! It takes time to write billions of zeroes! When the "zero-fill" utility is finished, your hard drive will be in the condition it enjoyed the day it left the factory.
To install Windows 98, you should have both an installation CD and a bootable floppy. If your system will boot from a CD (most will these days), you won't need the floppy. Insert the CD or floppy disk, turn the thing on, and you're off to the races.

What kind of encryption is used with 802.11n?
WEP is kind of old so I'm guessing WPA or WPA2
Moose
The original standard released in 1999 was WEP. WEP uses the stream cipher RC4 for confidentiality. Exploitable weaknesses in this protocol prompted the development of WPA.
WPA was introduced as an interim solution while the 802.11i standard was developed. WPA added Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) to WEP. TKIP encryption replaces WEP's 40-bit or 128-bit encryption key that must be manually entered on wireless access points and devices and does not change. TKIP is a 128-bit per-packet key, meaning that it dynamically generates a new key for each packet and thus prevents collisions.
WPA2 - also known as IEEE 802.11i-2004 replaced the TKIP encryption protocol of WPA with CCMP to provide additional security. CCMP is an AES-based encryption mechanism that is stronger than TKIP. (CCMP is sometimes referred to simply as AES instead of CCMP.) Equipment developed under 802.11i was backwards compatible with earlier equipment and supported the use of WPA and WEP.
802.11n requires AES encryption to be enabled on WLANs used by 802.11n clients.
If a PC does not boot properly and you hear a single beep then the problem is?
I would check the two power cables in the motherboard or I would check the display. Another thing to do is clear the CMOS on the motherboard, that may fix it. FYI What is "doesn't boot properly" these are answers if you don't see anything on the monitor.

Audio text is "text" that is read aloud. Originally, such text was found on audio cassettes, and then released on CDs as technology moved forward.
