Macbook pro & OSX questions

[Willis]

1) When using safari or firefox the screen looks washed out and the writing and icons dont look as crisp as in IE in windows i've messed about with the appearance tabs but still can get it looking right.

2) Also is there no right click on mac's as in firefox to check spelling i would right click on the word and it would give me a list of spellings.

3) Can i play my movies from my windows pc as it seems to have trouble playing them with quicktime with the divx codec installed.

4) How do i get a full screen page for safari/firefox to open automatic

5) why when i use msn it sends a icon to the desk top

will have some more question in a mo

1) That's just how macs handle text - it looks a little different but you'll get used to it.

2) Put two fingers on the track pad and click - there's your right click. Or hold ctrl and click. Or get a mouse

3) Grab the perian codec

4) You can't. Just drag the window to how big you want it and it'll remember next time. Again, you'll get used to it.

5) I'm not sure what you mean by that... are you sure you're not just unpacking the program? Drag that icon to your applications folder, then drag it also to the dock and delete the disk image file thingy for it, should be sorted.

Thanks for the info

Should my mighty mouse not have a right click

** EDIT *** Sorry sorted that one out in the mouse settings
