Instead, I should have called CompUSA, which supports virtually all computers and software. At 1-900-CALL-COMP, you get $2.49-a-minute help (first minute free) from real pros. I immediately reached someone there who quickly diagnosed my problem as a corrupted registry and told me how to fix it. Kip Crosby, co-author of the indispensable Windows 98 Bible, later said the registry, a humongous file that helps initialize programs, is often where problems arise. "When it's corrupt, it's almost impossible to repair," he said, noting that hardly anyone in the support world will muck around...
...Warrior Princess? You say we are finding out so many new things about women, but there's really not much to hang your hat on here. If science doesn't back you up, you can just say science must be wrong! If reason doesn't back you up, no problem; women have for too long been held down by reason. You didn't allow for the chemistry between men and women, what happens when they get together. Without this essential chemistry, your theories fizzle. T. PAIGE DALPORTO Charlton Heights, W.Va...
...Norm Show (Wednesday, 9:30 p.m. E.T., ABC), Macdonald, in the least likely scenario since Manimal, plays an ex-hockey player who is avoiding jail by paying off a community-service sentence as a social worker.

...weapons components and know-how. Last month agents thwarted China's second attempt to obtain military gyroscopes used in guidance systems for "smart" munitions, missiles and fighter aircraft. More customs cases are under way involving Chinese efforts to pilfer so-called critical technologies. FBI counterespionage specialists fear that the problem of spying isn't confined to Chinese visitors to the national labs. The FBI is taking a hard look at activities by scientists from several other nations, most notably Iran. For some years, Iranian scientists have visited the labs for exchanges that are ostensibly peaceful and beneficial, such as counterproliferation...
...problem is, McEwan wasn't the first to invent the technology--if he invented it at all. It was first patented in 1987 by LARRY FULLERTON, founder of Alabama-based Time Domain Corp., and featured at a 1990 Los Alamos meeting attended by McEwan and his Livermore associates. In response to a Time Domain challenge, the U.S. Patent Office has initially rejected Livermore's key patents. Next month the House Science Committee will release a report that, sources tell TIME, will cite more cases of intellectual-property infringement committed by the weapons-making labs as they scrambled to find...
