i tried downloading win-zip like the computer suggested, but still am lost and can not open it. no matter what i do i get a can not recognize format notice.

anyone have any ideas to get me working? and i would appreciate it if you put it in terms a 10 year old can understand, i am not all that smart when it comes to computers.

your 13 year old neighbor has a son? and your neighbor's son is old enough to help with computers?
Might need some sex education in your hood!

Doesn't sound like they need any education there, they've got the hang of it.

you know what i meant smartass!!

neighbors 13 year old son.
there, is that better mr perfect?

i did find one glitch with the new system.
apparently the remote control is the same frequency as the one for my verizon fios box. every time i push a button on the TV remote, i change functions on the DVR.

i guess i have to call the DVR manufacturer monday and see if i can change the remote frequency.

as for mr perfect! not me, I have spent many years reading papers for my wife, when she was in nursing school and when she was getting her bachelors I read every paper several times looking for mistakes before she turned them in. so now I find myself doing it all the time.
