Previously, when I would plug my digital camera into the USB port, I would automatically get a pop up box that asked me what I wanted to do. I'd click on the box to view/work with my pics. Now, I get no pop up & I can't figure out where to look to "find" the camera contents after I plug it in. I assumed it would be somewhere within "My Computer" but I can't find anything. Any suggestions on where to look to find my photos once I connect camera to computer? Any suggestions on how to restore that auto detect option?

What is the easiest credit card to get these days for someone trying to either build non-existent credit or reestablish credit? Any specific store cards that are easier to get than others?

We have internet service on our desktop computer. We also have a router so my daughter gets internet service on her netbook. But, she is planning a vacation away from home and still wants to be able to use her netbook to access the internet. What do I have to do/purchase in order for her to be able to use her netbook away from home?

I know Amazon has a huge option of ebooks available, but I'm wondering, if I purchase the new Amazon Kindle am I limited to what's available on Amazon.com or can I download books from any source and store them in the Kindle? If so, does anyone have any useful websites that have reasonably priced ebooks besides Amazon? Just wondering what my limitations are.

I've started doing Pilates 30-45 minutes every other day. Appoximately how long will it take before I start seeing results? I realize it's not going to happen overnight, but just curious as to when I might start noticing a difference.

Although I'd like to tone up all over, my main concern is firming up my stomach/waist/hip area.

I've come across this website that supposedly lets you download free mp3's, but I'm cautious about getting viruses or legal issues. I normally just purchase & download mp3's from walmart.com. Has anyone heard anything about this website or used it?

Our family doesn't really like fish, but we are trying to eat healthier and decided to give Salmon a try. I'm looking for a good recipe for baking Salmon that will have a greatly reduced "fishy" taste. Any good recipes we can try? We've never even tasted Salmon, so this is a risky move for us...lol.

My son is considering getting an Xbox 360. Is getting the entire set up for Xbox 360 Live really worth the extra money? He just wants the generic (cheaper) system right now, but I'm wondering if in the long run it would be cheaper to just get an upgraded bundle right now to be able to have access to the online functions rather than getting the cheaper system now and then adding on all those accessories later on. Is the whole "live" functionality really worth it?

Our local store has blueberries on sale sooooo cheap. I'd like to get some & freeze them for later. Will they keep ok by just putting them in a ziplock freezer bag? How long will they keep in the freezer?

My dog got ahold of my Tracfone and now it's a chewed up mess. I just purchased a new Tracfone and I'm getting ready to activate it. I'm wondering if I can transfer my unused minutes to the new phone. Can you do it over their website or do you have to call and speak to a live person? (If you can actually classify the people who answer the phones there as live. They are usually quite useless.)

If I buy MP3s from another website (ex. Walmart, Amazon) is there a way to transfer them to my iTunes library so all my music is in one place on my computer? If I can get the same MP3 for .94 at Walmart.com, why should I pay $1.29 for it because it's on the iTunes site? I'm a bit confused.

Apparently I've been living under a rock and I haven't paid any attention to know what's the deal with Ipods. So, can someone give me the basics? Do you just go to the Itunes website and download music for a fee for each song? Can you download anything else to use on the Ipod Nano such as videos, games, movies, etc? Can you download music, etc from other websites as well or just the Apple site? Anything else you think woul be helpful for me to know? Wow...I feel really old right now.

My husband & I both claim 0 dependents on our paychecks so we can plan on getting a sizable income tax refund every year. With this new tax rebate thing ($800 for married couple) now they are taking hardly nothing out of our checks for Fed taxes. How is this going to effect us at tax time? I'm fairly certain we won't have to pay, but does this also mean we won't get the chunk of money we are used to getting? Is there a new tax table? I'd rather have the bulk at one time instead of $15 extra a week that I'll never really see.

My son is saving for his first ATV and I plan on matching dollar for dollar whatever amount he saves. In your opinion, what's the best ATV to buy as a starter for a young person just learning to ride? I'm looking for something easy to learn on. Also looking for something reliable because I know nothing about fixing them, so I'll have to depend on a local shop to get any work done. (Yes, I already know it's an expensive hobby.) What are your thoughts on best makes & models?

If a flat screen LCD TV is advertised as a 46" tv, how do they come up with that measurement? Is that measuring the viewing area only or the entire tv, including the sides around the viewing screen? Do you measure horizontally or diagonally?

Can anyone recommend a website that I can use to design my own landscaping ideas? I'm looking for something free and if possible, something I don't have to download. Just looking for a website where I can try some things to see how they look. I'm not creative enough to just look at my lawn & see in my mind what it will look like. :( HELP!

I've just purchased a large (7 oz) reed diffuser. I've heard you need to periodically flip the reeds, but how often should it be done for optimal fragrance?

Why is it that anyone who has anything negative to say about Obama is automatically labeled a racist? Obama supporters are so quick to point out that they don't support him "just because he's black", but they are the first to point a finger and anything negative said about him is said "just because he's black". Can anyone explain to me how this makes any sense?

I are thinking of opening up a small hobby/craft store. We live in a very small town, so we don't have any large competitors like Michael's or ACMoore. This would definitely be small scale, so we would not be able to stock supplies for every imaginable hobby/craft. I'm trying to determine what would be good sellers. What hobby or crafts to you enjoy? What would you go to a hobby store to get, instead of going to a place like Walmart?

We've decided to get our first LCD tv. We will probably be getting a 40-49" model. Deciding on what brand is so confusing. Considering all factors, but emphasizing reliability/durability & price, which are your top picks & which ones should we steer clear of? (Sony, Toshiba, RCA, Samsung, Viore, Philips, Vizio) Please explain why. THANK YOU!!!!!
