I am trying to install a printer on my Dell running Windows 98. I go to add printer and it is not listed under the options of HP printers (DeskJet 820cse). I say I have the disks and it begins with disk 1 through the 3rd. It tries to communicate with the printer and I get this message- c:windows\startmenu\__HP_G is not accessible It will continue with disk 3 and start on fonts taking disc 4 when I get these error messages: unable to find necessary set up files and unable to add True Type font Snap.TTF. Needless to say the printer will not work. Anybody have any ideas short of me pitching a fit and smashing this thing:) Keep in mind that I can turn one of these things on and get myself in trouble but not much more. <edit> I have tried deleting the printer and re-installing but get the same errors

if you have saved something to a file, and want to open it, and click Open or Open with, sometimes the choice of programs to use appears on top of your browser windows, which is what you want it to do, and other times you have to go looking for it under everything. I wonder if there is anything that could be done about this....? Also, when you get that "choose program" message, how do you know what to choose? I open everything with Wordpad because usually that works. Sometimes I get code, though, and just can't open the saved item. Wondering if you have any thoughts about this.... I will never not first try rebooting, I swear.
