RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Off-Topic Computer Mail Question
Thank you all for your suggestions and I am working on them. I did have my husband install my printer to my mini and I was able to print it out from there. But I still want to figure out how to do this on my laptop. I am thinking of updating my laptop to from XP to Windows 7 and Microsoft 10, has anyone done this? I think I can do this online. If so, any problems doing this? Thank you. E -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. Follow the confirmation directions when they arrive.

The first thing I would do is see how much RAM you have. Windows 7 needs 3 or 4 gigs of Ram to run properly. If you can upgrade it may make more sense cost wise to just get a new lap top. A new lap top will have the Ram and Windows 7 and most likely have a larger hard drive.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Off-Topic Computer Mail Question
Depending on what type of file it is, you probably do not have the correct program to open up the attachement on your main computer. If its a document and you don't have microsoft word on your computer for example and opened it up in notebook or some other word processing program on your computer that is not the correct program that can decipher it.

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Off-Topic Computer Mail Question
Do you know what the attachment is-a document, a picture or something else? You can usually tell what it is by the extension-that's the part of the filename that appears after the dot, like .doc or .jpg. That will help you figure out what to use to open it. If you can't see the extension, right-click on the filename (after you save it to your computer) and look at the properties, usually the last choice at the bottom of the list that appears. You should see something that shows the file type, e.g., Word Document, JPG File. Once you know that, it should be possible to figure out if you have the software to view it on your computer. Let me know if you need more help. You may want to contact me directly.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Off-Topic Computer Mail Question
Hello E, When the email opens are you able to read any part of the email? If you are is there a box that shows the attachment file? If so, does it show an extension, i.e., .doc, .jpg etc? The extension tells you what program you have to use to read the attachment. It doesn't sound like you are bringing your email in through Outlook Express...correct?

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Off-Topic Computer Mail Question
From your description of your problem, it looks like your niece is using a microsoft 2010 programs. This program does not work under XP. To view a microsoft 2010 program on XP, you need to get the microsoft viewer. With this program you will not be able to update the file, only view. This program is available to download from microsoft web page at no cost to you.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Off-Topic Computer Mail Question
open it in 7, save it as a doc not a docx, and then email it to yourself at the XP computer. Truth is, 7 and XP don't play well together, so you may not ever get it to open in that format, but she can send it to you in one that works on your computer if you ask her.
