I keep trying to dowload MODO, but everytime it gets close to 100 percent it just keeps timing out, over and over. I don't know why, and I can't keep clicking resume because it will keep restarting what it was on.
Help would be appreciated, thnx.

Jace on the other hand gives you card advantage for no life cost. On the contrary, Jace can actually take some damage for you. I'd think that makes him better than Arena.
ButteBlues: i might can help out in this thread occasionally. i know a little bit about a whole lot. windows, linux, hardware, networking, programming, html. i'm currently a software applications and programming major at itt tech. i graduate in may! also a resource that you might mention in your first post on this thread is http://www.techsupportguy.org it's forums, much like these, but they are based on (as the url implies) tech support.
sneaky: Try using a registry cleaner to clean out dead references to McAfee in the register.
As for good antivirus programs I hear something called linux protects the pc exelently
Or just AVG if thats what you wanted

When I use Word, it used to be that when I zoomed in or out in print layout mode that only one page would be shown on the page. However, now when I zoom in or out, my computer will lay a second page beside the first. So, instead of having the pages in one large column, I have them in two different columns. Is there any way to make it such that the data can be viewed as one contiguous column in print layout mode? Thanks.
We just moved into our new house this week and I'm looking into buying a wireless router. I'd most likely be wiring it straight into the computer and using the wireless just for Xbox Live and possibly a laptop in the future. I'd like to stay in the sub-$200 category but still get something that I'd be able to rely on and that wouldn't blow up after just a couple years (like the last router I had). Any suggestions?

Being as I only use Linux, I'll need someone with MS Word to try and replicate this error.

There is one possible problem I found just tooling around for 30 seconds.
At the top of the Print Preview window, there's a button labeled "Multiple Pages." It looks like a grid of pages.
Click this button, and choose the 1x1 choice. Let me know if this has any effect.
I'm thinking about installing Ubuntu on both a desktop and laptop; utilizing a dual-boot system on the desktop and soley Ubuntu on the laptop. I've already burnt the start-up disc, and I'd imagine that the installation is fairly straight-forward, but I have a few questions:
1. How do/should I backup my current Windows system before installation, just to make sure everything's all right?
2. If Ubuntu doesn't work out for me, how do I uninstall it?
3. I'm planning on starting over from scratch with the laptop before installing Ubuntu and thus, figure I should wipe the hard drive. Is this a good idea, and if so, how should I go about doing it?
1. If you have a DVD burner and a blank DVD, I'd suggest using ghost or something similar to back up your windows installation as an iso file and burning it to a DVD. Of course, most people I know don't even bother to do this when installing Ubuntu as there is hardly ever an issue. Not required at all, but you can certainly do it.
2. By using the Desktop/Live CD, which I assume is the one you downloaded, and using gParted, the Partition Manager, on the CD, you can simply delete the two partitions Ubuntu makes by default, and then resize your Windows partition so that it once again utilizes the whole hard disk. (When installing, unless you're very comfortable with partitions and such, when you get to a stage that looks like this, choose the top option. That slider shown while the top option is selected is the new percentage of your hard drive Ubuntu will be using. For now, I'd suggest ~40 gb assuming your hard drive is ~80 gb or more. You can always reinstall Ubuntu later if you want a bigger portion or whatnot.)
I'd also recommend using this site as a walk-through for basic things.
Once you get an install going, I can give you a list of recommended apps/programs that'll make your install really shine.
3. Hopefully you have your Windows XP disc (or some other iso with a nearly-bare XP install), or you either want to go strictly Linux on the laptop, else I'd not recommend this (of course, I was pretty ballsy and my first venture into Linux was a cold-turkey install of Ubuntu on my laptop, completely removing Windows. Worked out for me, but we can't all necessarily be that lucky. ;)). Anyways, using the afore-mentioned gParted, you can simply delete all your partitions on the hard disk, then install XP fresh, and then install Ubuntu (Always install Ubuntu _after_ Windows as there have been a handful of cases noted where Windows nuked the Ubuntu install or ****ed up the GRUB bootloader when installed after Ubuntu).
Any other questions? The Ubuntu Forums linked in the first post are a wonderful resource with many, many helpful people. They've got a forum just for Linux noobs and such, so feel free to browse there if you've got any other questions as well.
(Always install Ubuntu _after_ Windows as there have been a handful of cases noted where Windows nuked the Ubuntu install or ****ed up the GRUB bootloader when installed after Ubuntu).
Quoted for reemphasis. You will be much happier if you set up Windows first because GRUB automatically sets itself up for dual-boot if it finds the Windows install. If you install Ubuntu first you have to do things manually (at best) and that's just plain annoying.

Error 21 is basically the "you told me wrong partition to boot!" message. This could be caused by a BIOS having a harddrive defaulting to OFF mode (if you have more than one hard drive).
You can first try hitting escape (unless the grub menu appears for you by default), choose a "Safe Mode/Recovery" Ubuntu startup. It'll startup to root terminal, in which case, typing in "gdm" ought to start the graphical interface.
Of course, you can also try booting the regular ubuntu after this to see what's up.
If that still doesn't work, just use the Ubuntu Live CD, delete the two partitions it made and reinstall in the unused disk space.
In Windows, mount your Linux partition that was created.
When you first turn on the computer, you usually see a screen that's black with the distributor logo on it.
(In my case, black screen with COMPAQ in big red letters.)
Usually, along with that screen are listed some keys that can be pressed to enter BIOS/settings. Common keys are Esc, F10, F8, and F12.
It'll be an ol' school text-based menu thing, usually. It can seem a little complicated, so if you must, just look around and write down some of the menus without changing anything and I'll try and help you track down that particular option.
The only options it gives me with "System BIOS boot devices" is to move it up or down in the list. Anything else I try with it takes me to the main menu.
I keep trying to dowload MODO, but everytime it gets close to 100 percent it just keeps timing out, over and over. I don't know why, and I can't keep clicking resume because it will keep restarting what it was on.

As for the "McAfee is still here!" message, nan's right. You have references in your registry to it that need to be yanked.

How do I delete these partitions?
Since the second defaults to "OFF", it wouldn't be running when the PC is turned on, which is why GRUB can't find the Ubuntu partition.
Look around in your BIOS settings for something about Disk Settings or somesuch. You need to find a way to turn both hard drives to default as ON.
