Advice & help please:confused:

I'm really hoping someone can help me. I have two problems:
1. I have a spiral album that I have decorated really cute on the outside-you know, ribbons, etc. I have also miscalculated the number of pages in it and have created more layouts than there are pages in the album. Stupid of me, I know. I am kicking myself! Wondering if anyone knows a way to attach pages to the cover or some kind of 'rings' or discs I can use if I take it apart to add more pages, or any other solution.

2. Calling all geeks! When I am connected to the internet, my graphics/images either don't show at all or take FOREVER to load. But sometimes I can click the STOP button and then they will show. This doesn't always work, however. I have done all the usual troubleshooting: clearing my cache, disk clean up, defrag, etc. Any ideas what else it could be?

Thanks so much for any help you can offer!

for the first problem, take your album to an office supply store. They should either have or be able to order a larger coil ring for your album. A copy place might also have a bigger coil that you could get from them.

for the next problem... any chance that a firewall or anti-virus might be causing the delays? We have something like a "Net Nanny" on the computers that my daughters use, and it is painfully slow when this feature is turned on. Besides that, check to see if some nasty spyware is slowing you down.

Good luck with both problems, and keep us posted.

You could take it apart and if you cant find somewhere to rebind it you can either use some keyring rings to bind through a couple of the holes or lace through some ribbon or something.

Thanks for the suggestions. I really do appreciate you caring enough to post help.
Here's what I decided to do: The album is 82 pages so it is quite hefty. I just broke down and bought a post-loading album and expanded it. Just fyi: I bought the Pioneer snap-load thingies that make a post album like a hinge-strap album. UGH! I couldn't get the 'hinges' to stay stuck to my album. I finally had to soak them in glue and clamp them all night. Very faulty design there! But it's OK now, I think.

After much research, I found out I need more memory. So am saving for an upgrade. I'll just have to suffer through until I have enough money.

Thanks for the help!
