Yahoo phone number
I’ve not been able to access my email account for the past two days. Is there a Yahoo phone number to which I can call and get assistance? I’m sure the password is correct as I have used it for years.
Trevor Malisa
I’m aware of three Yahoo phone numbers. However, please note the following:

MySQL login error 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ODBC@localhost
Posted on March 7, 2011 under Answers, Web Development | 1 Comment
I installed MySQL on a desktop PC (VISTA). But after typing “mysql” at the DOS prompt, I get an error message: “ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘ODBC’@'localhost’ (using password: NO)“. My question is how do I successfully login to use MySQL? I’ve heard of phpMyAdmin – isn’t this better? Thank you
Wayne
You cannot login at MySQL server with a simple mysql command at the prompt. It is bound to result in the MySQL login error 1045 (28000): Access denied error. Actually, the command is incomplete as the login details are missing.
Anyway, this is a very minor issue and can be solved quickly by using the correct MySQL login command at the terminal window.

Manage folders is missing on Hotmail issue
Posted on February 21, 2011 under Answers, Hotmail | Leave a comment
I want to delete some of my folders and I don’t seem to have “Manage Folders” in my account. I hope you can help me. Thank you.
Sandra Cohen
Microsoft has changed the GUI of the Hotmail email service. They’ve tried to make it more intuitive and less cramped. Thus, many features that were immediately accessible in the previous version are now hidden behind mouse-over or mouse-click actions. A case in point is “Manage folders” which was placed below the list of folders in the left pane at your Hotmail account.

How many websites are there in the world?
I wanted to know how many web sites are there in the world. I’ve searched Google and have got varied results. Maybe you can help me out. I need to know the number of web sites for a school project.
Brian Doole
This seemingly simple question is not an easy one to answer. The problem is that no single agency controls the Internet (even though we all like to think that the CIA does!). Even so, can we come up with some kind of figure for the total number of web sites in the world?

Printout of screen
Posted on January 26, 2011 under Answers, Internet Tips, Web Humor | 1 Comment
My question probably has a very simple answer. I want to know how to take a printout of the screen. The program I use does have a ‘print’ option but that doesn’t get me what I want. Is it possible to print the entire contents displayed on the computer monitor?
Marriam Khamis
One way to take a printout of the screen (the entire contents of your computer display) is to place the monitor on the photocopy machine and hit the copy button as in the image below. Don’t have a photocopier? Hmmm…
OK, I agree that wasn’t such a good joke but the photo sure is funny. Anyway, here are simpler steps.

Difference between web designer and web developer
Posted on January 10, 2011 under Answers, Web Design, Web Development | 3 Comments
My classmates and I were having a friendly argument on the difference between a web designer and a web developer… or are they the same? Which according to you is a better bet for the future? Could you also let us know is the average salaries of web designers and web developers?
Matthew Richardson
You know, I’ve never given this much of thought. I’ve spent years in the web business and all what I know is self taught. I still buy tons of books and magazines (you should see the monthly bill), read thousands of blogs, forums, newsletters etc. but have never attended a formal web design or a web development class. So what I tell you in this post is primarily shooting from the hip except for the web designer and web developer salary information which has been gleaned off the web (where else?).

How to make Windows Live Mail look like Windows Mail
Posted on December 16, 2010 under Answers, Windows Live Mail, Windows Mail | 1 Comment
I’ve got a new computer, a Windows 7 laptop. It has Windows Live Mail program which I have begun using; thanks for putting up simple instructions for beginners like us. But I certainly miss my old Windows Mail software. Is there a way Windows Live Mail can be made to look like Windows Mail?
Irene Ouma
Windows Live Mail is the new email client from Microsoft and differs markedly from the programs it replaces – Outlook Express (XP) and Windows Mail (Vista). The differences are, however, cosmetic; the basic functionality remains the same. Here are simple instructions on how to make Windows Live Mail look like Windows Mail (Vista) program.

Need help. Can’t send out any messages and getting the following error
Server response, ’550 Administration prohibition – relaying not allowed’, Port 25 Secure (SSL): No. Server Error 550. Error number 0x800CCC79
Would appreciate your specialist comments.

Outlook Express helpfully displays an error message when it’s not able to send email. The message typically has an error number, which for most people carries no meaning and simply adds to the frustration. The Outlook Express 0x800CCC79 error is a case in point. Here is a simple solution to resolve the problem.

Email unavailable – is it possible to get back your address?
Posted on December 16, 2010 under Answers, Email | Leave a comment
My wife wants to open a new Gmail account with the address of [deleted]. It says it’s taken. We believe that it was taken by us some years ago and now it says it is unavailable. Is the email account still alive and being used or is it dormant?
Gerry
Free accounts provided by services like Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo! have one catch – the email address will expire if it’s not used frequently. Depending on the service, this period of inactivity can vary from a few days to months. Users, thus, have to login at least once to continue maintaining the account else the email will become unavailable.
