Until my computer(XP Pro sp3) died on a update I could open and view an emailed pdf file, zoom in on a particular part of it and print that image. Since having to format my hard drive I loaded Adobe Reader X but it won't do that anymore, I can zoom in but it won't print the zoomed image. I don't know what program I was using for this, does anyone know of a program I can use. I have to do this quite often so need a simple way to do it. I have a Brother MFC240C. When I printed before the window would have the info for printing .. All pages,.. This page,..Current view.

Using Windows 7 hp 64 bit with CorelDRAW graphics suite X4 and has been working quite OK for a long time.
Now when it opens the Corel window Draw or Photopaint is frozen but says it is running in task manager.
They will both open if I click on a relevant file and will then work reasonably, help does not work.
I cannot uninstall the suite and I cannot get them to repair from the original disk.
Can you help please,

Q: Canon A480 Powershot view on laptop

Hi,
I am in the process of photographing hundreds of old genealogy pics etc, & had been using an old Amiga monitor with the RCA yellow connector.
Rather than a new monitor I bought a Lenovo TS520 laptop, but it has no yellow RCA video input socket. (W7 pro, 4Gb ram, 500Gb hd).
Is there some way of seeing full-screen (on laptop) the Canon A480 Powershot viewfinder image, as previously possible on old monitor?.
I would like to do so utilizing a USB input socket please.

kind regards,
Noel B

Robert Grosevale asks: One of my hobbies is family history and I have a number of pictures that I have scanned to place on my family history web site.
