How will describe IP address?

Your IP is your "Internet Protocol" address. It is a way of identifying your computer system in the network of computers we call the internet. When you pay an isp to link you into the system, they will probably give you a modem, and it will have an IP address to communicate with the network. You can see what that address is by going to whatismyip.com.

Your computer also has an internal network IP if it is connected to a router which the router uses to make sure the different computers requesting web pages and the like through it, get what they asked for.

When trying to download wmv on Apple am getting the following sentence Safari cant open the file because no available application can open it?

This error message is bothering you because the app can;t find a suitable software to launch itself. For instance, a MOV file will launch with Quick Time player or VLC, but if you don't have a media player that supports MOV then it will fail to launch and display this error. The best job would be to identify the extension of the file like "Viss.JPEG", this is an image file with jpeg format. So you have to google appropriate player to launch jpeg. Similarly, check out the file extension of the app you are downloading and finds its suitable application.

Why is Windows so expensive?

So Bill Gates can make money.

Bill Gates does not make money off Windows. He is a shareholder, and as much as people say he owns Microsoft, NO he does not. I don't think he is even the largest shareholder anymore.

Windows is expensive for a few reasons. First, the development time. Windows 7 took about 1000 programmers to make (I read an article from one of the project managers), then far more marketing, sales, and distribution people, all of which have to get paid. Just speaking of programmers, if on average a person made $90K (varies wildly by experience), $90K x 1000 = $90 MILLION. It cost far more than that. Development, R&D, testing, graphic designers, managers, packaging, and more.

They have to get the money back somehow and make a profit.

Intel does the exact same thing. It typically costs over a billion dollars for R&D, engineering, manufacturing, and much more to make a CPU. Actual cost of the chip is usually under $50, but they have to get that money back somehow, and make a profit, so they charge $200 for the CPU. ALL technical companies do this.

If you think Windows is expensive at an average of $120 for the home version, you should see the cost of their ENTERPRISE software, such as SQL, Exchange, and Visual Studio. Some of that stuff runs between $1000 to over $25,000, depending on features and licensing. Those are intended for businesses.

Again, Bill Gates is not making money off every product sold. He owns shares, and everybody that does gets a dividend. He used to be majority shareholder, but not anymore. For those of you who insist that he gets most of his money from Microsoft, think again. Look at his public portfolio. I read only about 15% (I forget exactly) of it is Microsoft, the rest is many other companies he invests in.

What will happen if you delete system 32 from my computer?

Do NOT delete system32, it contains most of your computer's vital files that make it work. It basically wipes out your entire hard drive, and it won't be able to work anymore without those files.

Can you die from eating an eraser?

You will start to feel light on your feet, and after a few hours you will start floating, and you will have to tie your hand to your bed if you want to sleep, as you will wake up on the ceiling. This is because an eraser is made of rubber, which contains turpentine, and it releases all the air in your cells, so you will eventually be lighter than air and start to float around, this is pretty cool, but don't do it outdoors as you will die as you will end up in space pretty soon.

How can you erase everything on your computer and reload Windows XP?

I use my Compaq computer 'start up' discs to erase the hard drive, this is called 'formating'. Then I reinstall Windows XP and whatever I want on my computer. Don :)

I agree with Don. Reformatting wipes the drive clean, and you get to start over.

Can long-deleted Microsoft Word files be retrieved?

The first place to look is the Recycle Bin. That's the normal place deleted files go. For the rest of this reply I'll assume you're talking about "properly" deleted files.

Generally, the answer is no. When a file is deleted the space it occupied is immediately available for new files to be saved over, and when that happens the file is forever erased (for all practical purposes). Undelete tools can sometimes recover recently deleted files, or fragments of them; because of the way space is allocated on the disk, these work better on Windows 95/98/ME machines than NT/2K/XP. But the longer a file has been deleted, the more likely it is to have been overwritten and lost for good.

Yes is also possible.

Unless you have low-level formatted the drive, there will always be a trace or image of your data.

This cannot easily be accessed, especially by home-users.

Best to go to a specialist. Companies deal in recovering data which has been deleted, corrupted or the physical disc damaged.

Mainly companies use this service for important data that they have lost.

Unfortunately, it is unlikely that your data could be found. Even if it was possible, it would cost hundreds of dollars.

_____

The above mentioned answers are true but have omitted 1 very important thing.

If you have not defragmented your drive then there should not be a problem with a qualified person to retrieve the item.

But of course if you have defraged the drive since then no the data is as good as lost.

Most PC repair companies now offer data recovery service's, but shop around for best price.

Prices vary from £50 ($80) up to £200 ($320)

_____

Also, Microsoft Word does have a feature that saves a backup copy when you edit a file. If you have that turned on, and you haven't cleaned out your folders, then it is possible that it still exists. Of course, if you never turned the feature on, then it doesn't help at all.

How do you get DirectX 10 for Windows 7?

DirectX 9.0c is not available for Windows 7; to actually install DirectX 9.0c, you would have to downgrade to Windows XP (any edition). In order to play games which require DirectX 9.0c without downgrading your installation of Windows, you must upgrade to DirectX 10.1 or later. DirectX 10.0 (initially included in Windows 7) did not include support for DirectX 9.0c, a decision that Microsoft ultimately repealed when DirectX 10.1 was released.

Windows desktop itself is a folder?

The desktop itself is a visual display of the desktop folders that reside in C:\Documents and Settings\(username/all users)\Desktop (unless an administrator has moved the folder to another location)

When the computer loads, it looks to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop for items to be displayed to all users and displays those in the main window.

It will then look to ../*username*/desktop for personal desktop items to display if there are any.

What is the role of control panel in window?

The Control Panel is a part of the Microsoft Windows graphical user interface which allows users to view and manipulate basic system settings and controls via applets, such as adding hardware, adding and removing software, controlling user accounts, and changing accessibility options. Additional applets can be provided by third party software.

The Control Panel has been an inherent part of the Microsoft Windows operating system since Windows 2.0,[1] with many of the current applets being added in later versions. Beginning with Windows 95, the Control Panel is implemented as a special folder, i.e. the folder does not physically exist, but only contains shortcuts to various applets such as Add or Remove Programsand Internet Options. Physically, these applets are stored as .cpl files. For example, the Add or Remove Programs applet is stored under the name appwiz.cpl in the SYSTEM32 folder.

In recent versions of Windows, the Control Panel has two views, Classic View and Category View, and it is possible to switch between these through an option that appears on either the left side or top of the window.

Many of the individual Control Panel applets can be accessed in other ways. For instance, Display Properties can be accessed by right-clicking on an empty area of the desktop and choosingProperties.

The classic view consists of shortcuts to the various control panel applets, usually without any description (other than the name). The categories are seen if the user use "Details" view.

The category view consists of categories, which when clicked on display the control panel applets related to the category. In Windows Vista, the category used applets below the name of the category
