Broadband: There when you need it?
A week ago Saturday night, I thought I'd browse the Web awhile before bed. Only I discovered my connection to the Internet had vanished.
Awaiting a return to life in the fast lane
Count me on both sides of our readers' debate about connecting to the Internet: I agree that $45 a month is a lot to pay for a cable modem hookup. But I've decided to plunk down the money anyway and pay for cable's faster path to the Web after grinding my teeth through a few weeks with an agonizingly slow dialup phone modem.
Solutions: Missing SpellCheck, address bar and toolbar
Q. I installed a new hard drive in my computer. A co-worker helped me get started reinstalling the software onto my computer. I have a 3-year-old Gateway machine that came with a Windows CD. I reinstalled Windows, then went to the Microsoft Web site to upgrade my Windows Security and Windows Explorer (6), which also upgraded my Outlook Express. I used a 56k modem to download this update. I noticed later that my SpellCheck icon was not highlighted and SpellCheck isn't enabled. How can I turn it on? As I was searching for a way to enable my SpellCheck for e-mail, I somehow managed to make my Internet address bar and my toolbar disappear. Can you help me restore my stuff?
