keyboard and mouse problems?

Hi, as a novice computer user I need to know if there is a site I can visit that will give me a diagram of a basic keyboard and what functions all the keys are for eg;esc/f1/23456789 /insert/ etc, secondly, my mouse keeps 'freezing' and I cant shut down the computer as I am supposed to, I have to turn off the power from the plug and re-start it. It is a new mouse (plug in) and the connections are ok, this happens several times a day and I am losing work, plus it is REALLY ANNOYING!!!!!!!....help in plain language would be great...thanks

If your screen is freezing, it's most probably the fault of Windows or your internet server, not the mouse. It could even be a hard drive problem.

I'm on AOL, and I take them pretty much for granted now; they happen so often.

Here is all you need to know about your keyboard. Your mouse has two clicks, left and right. Put your cursor (pointer) over any of the keys on the keyboard you see on screen, left click, and it will go to the explanation of that key. anyhttp://www.internet4classrooms.com/winkeyboard.htm

If you are running Windows Vista, you can click on the Start (the big ball at the bottom left of your screen), then click on "help and support" and type in whatever you want to find out about. It will tell you how to use your computer.

If you find that your computer stops loading up Windows or freezes before it finishes loading up, get onto the company that sold it to you. Sometimes computers develop faults. Motherboards or hard drives can be damaged, for example.

PS For help when using microsoft word to type documents, just click on help at the top of the screen, then click on "show the office assistant". Here you can ask how to do things.

Three vocabulary tools for learning foreign languages

Learning new vocabulary is one challenge in learning a second language. You have already learned a substantial amount of vocabulary in your first language without making a major effort. For learning and remembering vocabulary in your second language, we would like to suggest three tools.

The first tool that you might find helpful is simply writing down new vocabulary and creating cohort groups. While the examples here are for English, the techniques apply to all languages. Suppose we start with the word bark, which has two meanings. One bark would fit into the animal sounds cohort group. The other bark is the outside of a tree trunk. You could write the second bark in the tree cohort group.

Let's try another word: violet. You put violet into the color cohort group. Violet has another meaning, a flower. You put violet into a second group, the flower cohort group.

Imagine you have six dozen cohort groups. You have groups for trees, colors, foods, animal sounds, emotions, clothing. The list is endless. All this grouping takes time. Learning a language takes time.

You can set up your cohort groups in a number of ways. You can create cohort lists on your computer. You can make cohort lists on pieces of paper. One approach is writing each word on a piece of paper and then sorting the pieces of paper into their cohort groups. As you sort the pieces of paper into their cohort groups, remember to say the word out loud, and if you can, you should use the word in a sentence.

Learning new words is time consuming. You need to be industrious. This is where cohort groups get more complicated. Suppose you write industrious on a piece of paper, and create a new cohort group: the busy group. If you create the busy cohort group, you need to create the not busy cohort group. Words such as productive, diligent, industrious, energetic and studious fit into the busy cohort group.

Next you'll want to put words on pieces of paper to sort into the not busy cohort group. For the not busy group, you'll want slacker, lazy, loafer, sluggish and laidback.

In addition to creating cohort groups, another tool you could try for remembering new vocabulary words is diagramming. One diagramming approach is sorting words into places on a spectrum. Suppose you take all the busy and the not busy words that you have on small pieces of paper. You have energetic, diligent, sluggish, productive, studious, industrious, slacker, lazy, loafer and laidback. If you were to sort these words from the least busy to the busiest, you would have to spend some time thinking about the meaning of each word, moving each word around on the spectrum, saying each word out loud, and using each word in a sentence. I suspect after writing these words down and sorting, you would have a good start to mastering these words sufficiently so that you could understand them when you hear them and use them.

A third tool for remembering new vocabulary is visual images. Suppose you want to remember the word violet. You might draw a mental image of an iris. You would see the iris in your mind's eye and think violet. With visual imaging, you might want to think of two words together, such as violet and violin. You might see yourself playing a violet violin. A visual image of a violet violin might help you to retain both violet and violin.

Visual images, diagramming and cohort groups help you to remember new words because you are linking new vocabulary to something else. Remembering is an easier task when something not yet known is linked with something known. The something known could be already learned words or a visual image. Linking new vocabulary words to already known items in picture form will help you to remember new vocabulary.

You probably already know how you learn best. Some of us learn best when we create visual images while some of us learn best when we do something with our hands. You may discover that combining visual images and diagramming with a pencil enables you to remember better than another approach. You may discover that using a pencil and paper helps you to remember better than using a keyboard and computer.

Learning a new language demands diligence and steady effort. Many of us start to learn languages and get only as far as knowing enough to order food in a restaurant and ask where the hotel is. No matter what your goal, these tools - sorting into cohort groups, arranging spectrums and visualizing images - will help you to steadily progress in your language learning.

Piano composing software?

Im not sure how to explain this and im not sure i know what im talking about.

I am looking for a software that allows me to create printable music by connecting my piano keyboard to my computer/laptop.

Like playing a tune and the notes come up on the screen and you can play it back and change it using different instrument sounds and parts..

I used a program in school like this, but i cant remember what it was called.

Also i dont want anything thats going to cost me £500, just something cheap but good to start off with.

I'm not sure how to spell it but it might be something like Sebalius. Or cubasis but I'm not really sure about that one. X
