I take a basic computer class. We learn to Microsoft word. I have Windows XP, how can I discover what it I have Microsoft Word on my computer? It's Windows XP version 8

I looked in all my programs, but do not see it.  If it came with the computer?  Can I download it?  What should I buy?  We are a group of computer illiterate pensioners, having fun with our families.  Thanks for your help.

Hello

You can run the following command to see if you have Microsoft Word installed

Click on the start but

Now click on the run Option

Type Winword

then press enter

If your computer is Microsoft Office/Word installed it will automatically open the program

If this isn't the case, you will need to purchase a copy of the Microsoft Office program, you can find available on most of the stores at retail that sells software to computers/hardware.

Or you can also buy online at Microsoft Store

The whole Suite could be purchase here

If you do not want to buy Office, but have an active connection to the Internet you can use word for free on the site of MS Live, by connecting using a ID Windows Live ID (e-mail address)

Here is the link to use word online

Hope this helps you.

  • How can you know what drivers and programs are essential and those that can be deleted without harming my computer?

    Original title: completely clueless

    I'm totally clueless when it comes to computers, but I try very hard to learn. I am using the help section a LOT, but I can't seem to find an answer to the only thing that makes me crazy. How can you know what drivers and programs are essential and those that can be deleted without harming my computer? I have a very basic net accountant I learn on before I screw up a portable more expensive and I do a cleaning on my C and D drives to improve performance because it runs so slow but it tells me I have the drivers who slow down Windows. I would greatky appreciate any assistance from someone who has the patience of a saint and is willing to take the time to explain it to me, in terms laymans. Thanks in advance

    Drivers: you should know what you bought (in your machine) and what * you * want out of it.  If you want stability and things work properly - let alone the drivers.  If you want more performance check (and other games) in the drivers of motherboard chipset and video network from the manufacturers Web site... For more stability stick with the OEM website (HP, Dell, Lenovo - the assembler of the whole machine) and slightly more performance/push the limits (even if they want to work too - so still some stability) - access to websites of its components manufacturer.

    With regard to the programs: you can decide what you use and do not use.  If you are not sure, look it up (Google) or ask.

  • How can I tell what version of Windows my Win7 upgrade copy corresponds to?

    A few years back, one of my friends gave me his old computer running Windows 7.  I just had to replace the motherboard and processor on it, and when I went to reinstall Windows, I learned that the CD Win7 key he had corresponded to a Windows 7 upgrade version.  From what I could tell, I need to install an older version of Windows first, and then use the upgrade CD to return to Win7.  I installed Windows XP Home Edition and I tried, but the CD Win7 said that I had the wrong version of Windows to upgrade.  I installed Windows Vista and got the same thing.  How can I tell what version of Windows my Win7 update of that CD will modernize?

    Thank you!

    Looks like the copy of Windows 7, you were trying to install from Windows XP Home Edition is a 64-bit version.

    You will need to boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    To learn how to change your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, the following tutorial:
    http://notebooks.com/2011/05/05/How-to-load-BIOS-and-change-boot-configuration/

    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • How can I find what firewall is running on my computer?

    Original title: find firewalls

    How can I find what firewall is running on my computer?  I have used norton, mcafree, avg in the past.  All have been removed through programs removal program.  I turned off my windows firewall and Security Center says I still have firewalls.  I can't access itunes store or download programs (such as the overdrive media).  I don't have a router, but have tried that disconnect and connect the computer directly to the modem.  Still have the problem.

    Security applications - especially those of McAfee and Norton - cannot be completely removed using the control panel > Add / Remove programs.

    For McAfee, see http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?lc=1033&id=TS100507 which explains how to use the McAfee Consumer Products Removal (that you can get the link in this article).

    For Norton, see https://www-secure.symantec.com/norton-support/jsp/help-solutions.jsp?lg=english&ct=united+states&docid=20080710133834EN&product=home&version=1&pvid=f-home

    For AVG, see http://www.avg.com/us-en/utilities

    If for some reason you want to reinstall everything before (that I do not recommend), don't forget to make a record of your license key before uninstalling.  The links above should explain how to do this.

    Some motherboards with nVidia chipsets include a hardware firewall (nVidia ActiveArmor).  I'm not positive on how to determine if you have this or not, but I suggest starting with a glance at the "network adapter" section of the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK).

    PS: even if you're experienced, do not use your router.  It provides a layer of protection between you and the Internet, if you connect with all firewalls disabled.

    My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.

    Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

    The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

    Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

    You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

    By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

    Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

    Hello

    read this on the engraving in the mastered Format;

    Burn a CD or DVD

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/burn-a-CD-or-DVD

    Burn a disc using the ISO image format

    Choose the size of the ISO image when you need a highly compatible disc that will play in computers with an older version of Windows or in devices such as CD and DVD players that can play video files and music digital. For more information about choosing a disc format, see which CD or DVD format should I use?

    1. Insert a writable CD or DVD CD writer or DVD in your computer.

    2. In the dialog box that appears, click on burn the files to a data disc.

    3. In the engraving, a disc dialog box, type a name for this disc, and then click Show formatting options.

    4. Click on ISO image, and then click Next.

      An empty disc folder opens.

    5. Open the folder that contains the files to burn and then drag the files into the empty disc folder.

    6. In the toolbar, click on burn to disc.

      The selected files are copied to the disk. When burning is complete, the drive tray opens and you can remove the drive. You can now use the disc in another computer or media. This type of disc has no need to be closed.
