Why Won't vPike Work On My PC? Bill had a question about a navigation site Amanda featured in CoolSites called Vpike. "He writes: I used to be able to get vPike on my old computer, but now on my new computer I can not how come ?" Bill, you won't say if the site just won't launch or if you're unable to load the maps. My first guess would be that it could be an issue with your browser.
I'd try opening the site in another browser, just to see if that works. Without any more information, I can't really diagnose what your problem might be, but you can e-mail the folks at vPike directly by clicking here. ~ Cynthia Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version

Word Processor For Windows 10 Marie is looking for a word processing program in Windows 10. "I just bought an HP laptop with Windows 10 on it and to my surprise I do not see a program to create word documents. I am asking if you know one i could download, free. Also, can you suggest a program that i could install, also for free, to open the .wps files I transferred from my old computer. They were created in Microsoft Works." Marie, there is a great little word processing program included withe Windows 10, called WordPad. For many people, it will meet all of their word processing needs.
To find it, just search WordPad in the search box.
Or look in All Apps under Windows Accessories.
You could also consider heading over to Outlook.com. Set up a free Microsoft e-mail address and you'll have access to the online app versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Not to mention free cloud storage on OneDrive.
You could also download the excellent, free LibreOffice suite. I think you'll find that LibreOffice Writer is more than up to the task of handing your documents.
If you have a Google account, there's also the option of using Google Docs. Though, of all the option, that is probably my least favorite. One of these choices should fit the bill. ~ Cynthia Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us? Ask it here!

Russ from Chambers, NE writes: Our tech guy says Internet Explorer is much safer and better to use than Firefox or Chrome. Is this true? I like using Firefox and Chrome for Google. He says not to. What do you say?
First of all, if your tech support guy at work says that he is most comfortable with Internet Explorer and that's what he wants you to use at work, do what he says. After all, he's going to do a much better job troubleshooting something he is comfortable with and it's possible that Internet Explorer works better with the particular systems you use on the job. My #1 steadfast rule when it comes to a work environment is that you obey the IT guy/gal. (Unless that person says it's okay to still run Windows XP.) It's his/her party. I have heard IT people express security concerns about Chrome before and the browser had a rough start of it with security issues, but most of that seems to be under control.
There was a time when Internet Explorer was considered to be the least secure browser, but with recent updates and the demise of IE 8, security is much improved for IE 11. The next statement will probably anger a few people... Click here to learn more about which browsers are most secure.
