Yes, this is my third question today (I'm the guy with the new imac, and I'm coming from a PC background). Sorry for being such a greedy brain picker. So I'd never used bit torrent before today. I read a few articles here on it, and then downloaded μtorrent. I then downloaded a (public domain) movie to it. Now I'm stumped. I want to be able to watch the movie (isn't that sort of the point?). I'm sure I'm missing something staring me on the face, but for the life of me I can't see anything in the μtorrent interface that allows me to do anything with the download. I opened up imovie, thinking that maybe that would allow me to watch it but I didnlt understand that either. I also might like to burn the movie to a dvd (but I don't have any blank ones right now to do so). I found the disk utility on my mac. If I had a dvd to put in my drive, would I be able to burn the download to there and then play it on my dvd player? So two questions how do I play the damn download and how would I put it on dvd. Thanks.-- 68.160.243.32 ( talk) 00:17, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

I've played World of Warcraft for a while, no problem. I bought The Burning Crusade expansion set today and installed it. The installation worked fine. But then when I try to run the game it says "Launcher requires write permission to the World of Warcraft Registry key to successfully locate and run the game. Please enable write access to the Registry key using an administrator account." I've looked in the folder where the game is installed and there's nothing with that name. I tried right-clicking and running as an administrator, but it didn't work. Can anyone help? — Fly by Night ( talk) 18:28, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
How many ways are there to connect through UMTS to the Internet with a laptop? I know that you can use some cell-phones as modem, use a UMTS modem (which looks like a pen-drive), and there are also PC- cards, where you put your UMTS card inside. However, can you simply insert the UMTS card in some kind of UMTS slot on the laptop? Quest09 ( talk) 21:45, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
