Red Underlined Words
Dear Computer Lady,
Enjoy your site very much. Your information is priceless. My question is misspelling words ( a lot) that become highlighted.
Is there a trick that I can use to let the computer give me the correct word? I am forever going to the dictionary. I have win XP and use google chrome.

How To Backup Chrome Bookmarks
Hello Elizabeth,
Enjoy your site very much. Your information is priceless. I use bookmarks extensively and it occurred to me, if chrome crashes all those sites are not backed up. How can I store them on my external drive? I have win XP and use google chrome.

How To Remove Kindle Books From My iPad
Hello Elizabeth,
I’ve subscribed to your newsletter for quite a while now, and have had some problems solved by you after reading questions posed by others.
My dilemma now is related to my Kindle and my iPad. I love being able to download books to the Kindle which my husband and I share, and I love being able to sync the books to my iPad. The problem I have is: I don’t know how to remove a book from the iPad once I have read it. I remove it on the Kindle (and it seems to still be archived when I do that) but it still appears in my Kindle library on the iPad. It seems so cluttered and I would like to get rid of the icon for a book I’ve finished. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks for all you do for us iPad newbies. Read More…

How to Save Favorites & Mail
Dear Computer Lady,
I have a newer HP computer about 2 years old. It has become slow at startup and lots of virus scan popups when its running.
I think I should just reformat and start over but save my favorits and saved emails before I reformat to start clean. I can save documents on a flash drive easily but don’t know how to copy emails folders and favorites menu from IE9 and Windows Livemail.
Any advice on this? It would be a ton of copying and pasting if I copied URLs and emails individually.
Thanks, Mike Read More…

How To Make Details the Default View
Dear Computer Lady,
Whenever I search for files on my computer, using a windows-based operating system (XP or Windows 7) I have an option to view them as Thumbnails, Icons, Tiles, List or Details – I usually like to see the files in a default view of “Details” with the most recent at the top.
Is there a way to set this preference? Amy Read More…

Laptop Cursor Runs Amuck
Dear Computer Lady,
The cursor on my lap top goes out of control.
It repositions itself when I’m in the middle of typing something for example… or it literally runs amuck on the screen.
I know that it’s a rather common problem from googling it, but no one seems to have a solution. I hope you can help.
Thank you. Sue Read More…
