<html> <head> <style></style> </head> <body class='hmmessage'> To Whom It May Concern, My name is Shane, I am 43 years of age. I have just installed Ubuntu along side my current operating system & I must say after attempting a look at it quite sometime ago, I am very happy with it now. Although I do have some questions; all the following questions relate to Ubuntu; #1 - When I try to play certain video files, the media player will only play certain .mpg files & not play others. It will however play .avi files easily. Is there something else that I need to download for the media player to play all video files of all file types ? #2 - I am having trouble configuring Evolution Mail correctly. It seems to take a long time for a new mail message to send. I have set up my hotmail account in Evolution. I am not even sure if I have the settings correct. After I have exited Evolution, if any messages are left in the sent folder, they transfer to the trash folder....how do i stop this? #3 - I have Adobe Photoshop running on windows xp , how can I install it on Ubuntu & run it from Ubuntu. I have been told that I need to install a program that will run .exe files ??? #4 - i have quite a few programs that i run through windows xp - how can i get these same programs to run through Ubuntu ? #5 - is there any need for a anti-virus program on Ubuntu, I have been told by a close friend who swears by Ubuntu, that there is no real need for a anti-virus, is this correct? I would so dearly appreciate any assistance that anyone can give. Please feel free to email me with any tips & help Kind Regards, Shane Dunleavy nugget67@hotmail.com </body> </html>
