  • Question about Brad Cooper on General Hospital?

    Okay, if Brad's supposed to be gay, (in Brad's own words) "I mean really gay... tap dancing out of the womb gay", then how is he the father of a baby? Whose baby is it, and how did that happen? Did he get *really, really* drunk at a party or something? *ha ha* ...

  • Parry Shen on General Hospital?

    Why is his character called Brad Cooper? Is his character adopted, or is he half Caucasian maybe? (I'm just curious).

  • Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Spiderman... what years were each created?

    I read Batman was created in 1939, making him 75 years old this year. What years were each superhero created? How old would they be? Oldest to the youngest? (I'm not talking about their fictional ages... Diana is pretty much immortal, and Superman will probably never age either).

  • How do i disable Yahoo messenger built into Yahoo Mail?

    I have Yahoo Messenger and it's also installed in Yahoo Mail. Whenever I get a message in Yahoo Messenger, it shuts off of Messenger and instead opens up in my Yahoo Mail... It's annoying and frustrating, so I went to try and disable it in my Yahoo Mail but there is no button to disable it. How can I disable it IN MY YAHOO MAIL ONLY without disabling it/uninstalling Messenger completely?? I'm very frustrated!

  • My Icon is still my old Yahoo Avatar, how can I change it?

    I've changed my account pic but it still pops up as my old Avatar pic (which are all gone now). Why won't it change to the picture I've chosen? I went to my members page and went to "Edit My Preferences" and changed the Avatar to a picture. The picture shows up in place of the Avatar in the Profile, but when I go to ask a question, It still shows the old Avatar Icon on the Answers Page. How can I change it?

  • I keep getting messages saying that I am not connected to the Internet, when I am?

    I recently got a new computer and I've been getting a pop up message that asks me to connect to the Internet using Dial-Up or Broadband. I am hooked up using Wireless and I don't want to hook up using Dial-Up/Broadband. Every time I turn on my computer a message box pops up saying "Dial Up Connection: Select the service you want to connect to". Then it says "Connect To: Broadband Connection" and a blank box that says Connect Automatically. Then 3 boxes beneath that that say "Connect", "Settings..." and "Cancel". I am hooked up using Wireless, and I don't want broadband but this message keeps popping up. Also, there are times when I am trying to download something but I will get a message saying that I am "Not Connected To The Internet" when I clearly AM on the internet! I don't know what's going on. Can someone please help me with this (USING VERY SIMPLE language)? I am not computer savvy at all and this problem has been bugging me for awhile now.

  • New Folder won't open?

    Whenever I try to open a New Folder, nothing happens. I keep clicking on it, but nothing.... I have no viruses and I've even uninstalled programs that I thought might be a problem. I've shut off my computer to try again, but that's not helping either because the problem has been going on for awhile now and I'm getting frustrated. I need to open a new folder but it won't open.

  • my computer keeps shutting down on me?

    My computer keeps shutting down on me. I don't know what's wrong. It's a Toshiba laptop and I have Windows 7 Home Premium. Could it be High CPU? Norton has told me that my CPU is high but I don't know how to lower it (if I can). I was also told that Norton isn't really a good virus cleaner so I've deleted it and got Avast instead, but my computer's been shutting off very frequently and I don't know what the problem is. Is it overheated? (My laptop seems to become very hot). I've tried to unistall recent programs thinking/hoping they might be the problem. Before I deleted it, Norton kept telling me that I had no viruses. I don't know what the problem is. Can someone please help me in simple terms? I am not at all computer savvy.

  • Windows Firewall won't work... please help!?

    I recently noticed that my Firewall is not working. It said to update my Firewall because it is not using recommended settings, but when I click on Use Recommended Settings, it tells me" Windows Firewall can't change some of your settings. Error Message Code 0x8007042c". I then tried to find a website to help. I went to Microsoft Community and Microsoft Support. They led me to a place that said it could" Diagnose and fix Windows Firewall service problems automatically by using Microsoft Fix It". But when I click on the program to download it, I get *another* error message stating: "Troubleshooting Cannot continue because an error has occurred. We're sorry but the program can't continue. Please try again later." I've waited 2 days to "try again", but still get the same message. I don't know what to do now. Should I download a Firewall all over again? If so, where can I go to download it? Could someone please explain to me very simply? I am not computer savvy at all, but would appreciate any help.
