My girlfriend has a WindowsXP system with Internet Explorer, which has been terribly buggy for about a month now. The whole time I've been telling her -- with playful exaggeration -- that Microsoft is evil and IE is garbage and if she had any sense she'd throw the whole thing out and get a

Dennis, I'm in 2005 on a Mac. I'm not sure about 2004 because I upgraded from 2002, but it sounds like this is new to '05. We still have the add box in '05; that's what I tried first and it does change when spacing is applied. Since I now understand that Mark was talking about a different

Mark, In addition to using Firefox instead of IE, she should also download and install Microsoft Anti-Spyware. Now, it may sound odd to be recommending a second Microsoft product to solve the problems caused by the first (IE), and the irony isn't lost on anyone -- but MS Anti-Spyware was

Others have recommended Firefox, which would add my voice to. However, I wouldn't count Mozilla out, as it is a more mature program and has some things that Firefox does not yet have, such as the ability to bookmark a set of tabs. (Maybe Firefox has it, but I didn't find it. I'll probably be

Hi Mark, I don't know if your girlfriend has broadband or not, but one thing to keep in mind is that if she's using WiFi (wireless internet), she's probably going through a NAT router already. - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn, NY On 19 Feb 2005, at 5:30 PM, Mark D Lew wrote: On Feb 19,

It is true that Fin2k5 is slower than 2k3 on the same box. However, for me, the much higher stability actually makes up for that. The truth is that OS X is a much more advanced system, and it needs a faster CPU, and almost more importantly, vast amounts of memory. Hopefully we will see some

So really what you are saying is that there was no point in adopting OSX for Finale work until Fin06, assuming Fin06 does as you say. (A *big* assumption.) I was hoping Fin05 was the get it to work well version but alas I'm committed now in any case. Do you really think 512MB is not enough?
