Lost a Word font on my Mac and I can't get it back.
If you have already tried the common troubleshooting steps with no success, here are a few additional suggestions:
- Clear font caches: Font caches can sometimes cause issues with font recognition. To clear them, follow these steps:
- Close all applications, including Word.
- In Finder, press Command+Shift+G, then enter "~/Library/Caches" and click Go.
- Locate the "com.apple.ATS" folder and move it to the trash.
- Restart your Mac and check if the font now appears in Word.
- Check if the font is disabled in Font Book: Sometimes, a font may be disabled in Font Book, which can cause it to not appear in certain applications. To check and enable the font if needed:
- Open Font Book (you can search for it using Spotlight).
- Locate the font in question and ensure it is enabled (unchecked fonts won't appear in applications).
- If it is disabled, check the box next to it to enable it.
- Repair disk permissions: Although less likely to resolve font issues, repairing disk permissions might help in some cases. Here's how to do it:
- Open Disk Utility (you can search for it using Spotlight).
- Select your main disk (usually named Macintosh HD) from the list on the left.
- Click on the First Aid tab, then click the "Repair Disk Permissions" button.
- Wait for the process to complete, then restart your Mac and check if the font is now visible in Word.
- Create a new user account: In some instances, font-related problems can be specific to a user account. Creating a new user account and testing the font in Word under that account can help identify whether the issue is related to your current account.
If none of the above solutions work, you might need to seek further assistance from Microsoft support or Apple support, as the problem could be related to a software conflict or compatibility issue.

Where is the pairing button on Microsoft wireless keyboard 6000 v3.0 or does it need a USB plug
The Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 6000 v3.0 comes with a USB transceiver that you need to plug into your computer's USB port to connect the keyboard to your computer. The keyboard and the transceiver are pre-paired from the factory, so you don't need to pair them again unless you replace the transceiver or the keyboard.
If you do need to pair the keyboard and the transceiver again, you can follow these steps:
1. Insert the USB transceiver into your computer's USB port.
2. Turn on the keyboard.
3. Press and hold the "Connect" button on the underside of the keyboard for a few seconds until the green light on the transceiver starts flashing.
4. Press the "Connect" button on the USB transceiver.
5. The green light on the transceiver should stop flashing and stay on, indicating that the keyboard and the transceiver are now paired.
Note that there is no separate pairing button on the Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 6000 v3.0 itself.
hope it would be of use to you

How do I fix my computer?
Download a fresh copy of MS Edge, or better still, Google Chrome. Edge is very basic and not user friendly. You don't mention the computer make and model and what the original operating system was and what you have on it now. Depending on the age of the computer and what OS you had on it, there have been huge patches and service updates that have basically given uses a new operating system via 'update' downloads. If you had an early version when Edge was new, it was very buggy.

Can power saver be turned off ?
Yes, you can turn off the power saver feature on your display. The steps to do so may vary depending on the brand and model of your display. Here are some general steps to disable power saver on a monitor:
- Right-click on the desktop and select "Display settings".
- In the Display settings, click on "Advanced display settings".
- Click on the "Monitor" tab and look for a "Turn off display after" or "Power saver" setting.
- Change the setting to "Never" or disable it completely.
If you are using a KVM switch, it may also have a power-saving feature that is causing the display to power off. You may need to check the manual or the manufacturer's website for information on how to disable the power-saving feature on the KVM switch.
If you are using the Microsoft Win 10 "project" feature, you can adjust the display settings by following these steps:
- Right-click on the desktop and select "Display settings".
- In the Display settings, click on "Project to this PC".
- Look for a "Turn off display after" or "Power saver" setting and change it to "Never" or disable it completely.
These steps should help you disable the power saver feature on your display and prevent it from turning off. If you are still having trouble, please provide more details about the brand and model of your display and KVM switch, and I'll do my best to help you further.

Windows 10 Enterprise Account Disabled Error
There could be several reasons why your account has been disabled. One possibility is that it may have been disabled by an administrator on your computer or network. Here are some steps you can take to try and regain access to your account:
Try to login with another account: If you have another account on your computer, try logging in with that account and see if you can access your disabled account.
Contact your system administrator: If you are on a work or school network, contact your system administrator to see if they can enable your account.
Use the Windows recovery options: You can try using the recovery options built into Windows to restore your account. To do this, restart your computer and press the F8 key repeatedly until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears. Select "Repair your computer" and follow the prompts to restore your system to an earlier restore point.
Use a password reset tool: If you are unable to log in, you can try using a password reset tool to reset your password. You can download password reset tools online or use a built-in tool like the Windows Password Reset Disk.
If none of these options work, you may need to contact Microsoft support for further assistance.

My Windows Vista Home Premium says they no longer support the updates for Google Chrome. Can I override without harming my pc?
Dear Mary
You are running the most hated version of any Windows Operating system.
Windows Vista Home Premium Initial release date was
November 8, 2006. Support for the Operating System ended April 11, 2017.
You are running an antique operating system that is vulnerable to all the new viruses and hacking techniques that are thrown at computers on an almost daily basis.
There is no way to update Chrome, both Google and Microsoft have abandoned you. You will have to stick with what you have until you can update to Windows 11. You have missed Windows 7, 8 and 10, and we are now on 11.
You can go to the Chrome website if you are brave and download the latest version. See what happens, but usually the software moves on and becomes more hungry for computing power and the hardware can't manage it, so it slows down, hangs or crashes.
Get a new and fast web browser. Download Chrome and start browsing.
End of story, you need to upgrade Computer and the Windows OS.
Larry our Computer Guru will be along soon with some words of wisdom. :>D
