Rajiv I have had two new people inquire about our computer club. They will both be coming on Saturday. Both have computers but no notebooks although one said that maybe he should purchase one. They both have been using computers for some time and I think been to some classes for different interests but I don't know what they are interested in learning. Will just have to wait and see.
Also Bev is not able to use our blog as she still hasn't got her dashboard issue solved. Hopefully she will be back on Saturday and this can be fixed. Bev also is interested in learning how to burn a CD or copy music from a CD. I think she mentioned something about a MP3?? Not sure. We have spent time on this but I think a refresh for some of us would be good sometime.
Am looking forward to seeing you on Saturday

Good morning Rajiv,
Could you please discuss these questions in Saturday class?
Would it be possible to do them first up as I have to leave early, not later then 11 30 am.
Questions for class 5-03-2011
No 1) Why is a memory stick formatted in FAT, while a external hard drive is formatted in NTFS.
No 2) Is there a safe way of deleting something from your memory stick without deleting it from my hard drive?
No 3) Only with one contact on Skype I have the following problem. They can not see me but can hear me, but I can hear and see them. They get the following message: “Can not start video Rendere, please check if you have a valid Direct X installed”. They run windows XP.
We also use Logitech VID and we have no problem in hearing and seeing each other! They have been told to update Direct X. I do not know what Direct X they have; I have 9.0 as I run XP. I also run Windows Live Messenger and have no problem with neither of the other programs with my other contacts. If they have a problem with their Direct X and because of that Skype is not working, why is Logitech working? Is Logitech not using Direct X?
Wendy is having problems with Skype as well, so may be we can make it a Skype class next Saturday!
No 4) What is the difference between a one core and a two core system?
I have a two core system
No 5) Some weeks ago you were talking about CPUID and were going to post a link on our Blog. Could you explain to us again what it is all about please?
No 6) What is the main cause that Shockwave plugin and Adobe plugin crashes?
I really enjoy the computer classes.

Skype Questions
Have just been talking to my daughter and grandchildren using a video call. A cyberlink thing kept popping up in the middle of the screen and I had to keep closing it and clicking on to full screen at regular intervals. She wasn't experiencing the same thing. Don't know why this kept happening.
Also I took some pictures quite a while ago when this happened on a previous occasion but I have no idea where they would be or if they happened at all.
Hans are you the Skype expert? I think I need a lesson.
See you all on Saturday

Photos Picasa and Emails HELP!!
Gosh here I am again. I hope a fellow Con Hill Computer person may be able to help.
In Picasa I have discovered that I must tick the keep original size box when exporting photos to a folder on my desk top or a 1.8mg photo can suddenly become a 131Kb size.
This is no good to include in a Christmas calendar my daughter in law is making as the quality is not as good.
Also found that when using them from the desk top to an attachment in Yahoo or Big Pond the size is again reduced. (down to 4972 bytes in one case). G Mail seemed to keep the original size but it was then reduced for the receiver of the emailed attachment.
What is the best way to send the photos to a person living interstate without losing the photo quality? Do I need to use Australia post for a disc or USB?
I definitely have a lot to learn!!!
