 Who knows where to download XRumer 5.0 Palladium?
Help, please. All recommend this program to effectively advertise on the Internet, this is the best program!

One way of doing this is using your Paint program that is part of Windows operating system and usually found in your Accessories folder (START >> ALL PROGRAMS >> ACCESSORIES >> PAINT).

Scan the page and save it to your computer or to your desktop. Then open it with Paint. In Paint you can fill it in, save it back to your computer. Then print it out from there. Don't try to print it out while you are in Paint as it will be quite large to work with in Paint but it will revert to a normal size when you save it. By having saved it to the computer in a folder you can re-use the scanned form again and type in other info or others can type their info in the form.

If you have the paid Acrobat program (Adobe Acrobat Reader) I believe you can also scan and save it as a .pdf file, then use Acrobat to open it and type in the spaces as needed and print it out. You may also be able to scan and save it as a Word document from the scanner and then after opening the file with Word, fill in the info as needed. If your Scanner will let you use another word processor format to save it as you don't have MS Word on the computer, then you may be able to do it that way as well. Some pdf programs also allow you to open a pdf document, fill in the form and then save it as another pdf form which you can print from the program. There are also some on-line sites where you can upload a .pdf file and they will convert it to a word processor document format so you can fill in the spaces on it.....

Just remember that changing from a .pdf format to a word processor format might change the appearance of the scanned document, and I don't know how critical that might be to you. Scanning and saving in the .pdf format pretty much keeps a form in the original appearance.....

But, since paint is included with the PC just using that free program process is the cheapest and simplest way of accomplishing what you want and not having to do a lot of conversions and so forth.

Happy Puterin' ..... Al

How do I go about scanning a form/application and be able to type onto it???

Sure enough, I reread your initial posting and there, big as life, was the word laptop you mentioned tapping on... my mind saw monitor or screen i guess... duhhhhhhh

The other info pertains to a desktop monitor...sorry.... With a laptop, the screen is usually the first major repair that will be needed and it's generally recommended to get an extended warranty that will give longer coverage on the screen for a laptop if at all possible. The cracking/scratchy noise sounds like a short of some king and you can look around the hinges where the screen attached to the body of the laptop to be sure nothing is exposed or loose, wire wise. The displays have a backlight that can go out and possibly can crackle, but more likely the picture will get darker and darker until you nearly can't see a thing. Screens can be replaced, but it is advisable to have a repair shop do the replacement so they can get inside the body of the computer and do all the un and re-soldering of wires, etc.

Would be great if you still had warranty coverage, but don't know how old the laptop is. Screen replacements can generally run you a couple of hundred dollars, so certainly not a cheap repair.
Best wishes and apologies for not being attentive to you saying it was a laptop computer....will just have to lay it off to a senior moment on my part for missing the important detail....

Its a packard bell easynote laptop.  I will let you know how i get on 2morrow.  thanks for the advice

Luckymar .... For the file sharing with Win7, this site about doing so using a Public Folder in Vista, may be helpful for you.... I don't use Vista, but will be looking at this when I get a Win7 machine in the future..... http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Demo-Sharing-files-and-folders-in-Windows-Vista

This link also from Microsoft might also be helpful:

Hopefully this will be helpful for you to look thru, even before you get your new systems, so there is some familiarity for you....

Jim ... Thanks and wishing you a wonderful season of Thanksgiving and Blessings as well... Just happened to go to another forum and found this info from Avira posted there, and thought you might find this a positive thing about Avira....

They do listen to we the users.... LOL ... unlike a lot of other so called people and customer centered businesses. I find it amazing that there aren't really glitches with the program as it is soooooo popular on a world wide basis.....It's really quite a quality program... I just feel bad for those who still use Win98 or Win 98SE on their machines as the support for that operating system is no longer available from Avira, but Avast has taken care of that... at least for the time being......

Take care... Al
