Vera in LA - wants to make video phone calls

You really need a high speed Internet connection to do this, but you might get a decent image on dial-up if you used your cell phones for the audio. I recommend the Logitech Quickcam and MSN Messenger for Windows users. Mac users can use iChat A/V and the iSight.

My new favorite Internet phone also has a camera and video screen. The Packet8 Phone is $500, but you’ll get inexpensive VoIP and if you’re calling someone with another Packet8 the best video quality I’ve ever seen. I used it when I was in Canada last week and it was like being home.

John in Tustin - is rundll.exe a virus

Probably not. Windows 95/98/Me all come with a file called Rundll.exe. According to Microsoft Windows NT/2000/XP don’t ship with it. In fact, these versions of Windows can’t use it. I wouldn’t assume that a rundll.exe file on XP is a virus, however. I’d trust your anti-virus software. It’s better than deleting files by hand.

Daniel in Los Angeles -rotated photos are invisible on network

This is an odd program. Daniel has a Canon digital camera and uses the Canon software to copy pictures from it. But there’s a problem with the rotated pictures. These pictures cannot be copied over the network. They’re fine locally. Copying them to another folder fixes the problem.

Marie in Southgate - forwarding messages without the existing addresses

First, make sure you’re actually pressing the Forward button. Forward does not put any address in the To: field. Reply does. In fact, that’s the chief difference between them. Of course you can delete any addresses in the To: field by tabbing to that field and pressing the Delete key.
