Speech recognition reaches its teenage years
Using speech-recognition software is a lot like raising your kids. It doesn't always hear what you say. It doesn't always do what you want. And it requires a lot of time and patience.

Online chat
Discuss digital photography, Macs vs. PCs, Windows XP, the Internet and other tech topics with Times personal technology editor Dave Gussow in an online chat at 2 p.m. Tuesday. Go to www.tampabay.com/chat. If you can't be there for the live event, you can go to the Web site to submit questions in advance. A transcript of the chat will be available online later Tuesday.

Solutions: Repeat problems could be hardware trouble
Q. I am going crazy with this problem. The computer froze and I had to reboot by turning it off because Ctrl-Alt-Del would not work. Windows started with 640 by 480 resolution and 16 colors. It would not allow me to change to a higher resolution or color. I had no sound. I rebooted; same problem. Norton found no virus. Ran ScanDisk, and no problems or errors were found. System Restore will not work. I have reloaded Windows Me with no help. I formatted the drive and reinstalled Windows Me, which worked for a short time, then went back to the same problem.
