Is there a way to get back my original homepage? I have an Acer and I was using the homepage that came with the package, with widgets etc. I clicked on a button and lost my homepage and I don't know how to retrieve it. Google comes up now which I don't want. Thanks

Usually the homepage on a new PC is either Microsoft, or your computers own homepage.
If you have lost the sidebar in windows vista, or the widgets in windows 7. Right click on the desktop, you should find the option to restore/add widgets

What is a widget

In computing, a web widget is a software widget for the web. It's a small application with limited functionality that can be installed and executed within a web page by an end user. A widget has the role of a transient or auxiliary application, meaning that it just occupies a portion of a webpage and does something useful with information fetched from other websites and displayed in place. Other terms used to describe web widgets include: portlet, web part, gadget, badge, module, snippet and flake. Widgets are typically created in DHTML or Adobe Flash.

Can I get My Computer icon in Ubuntu 11.10

There is no My computer icon in KDE.
On the task bar click the K with the Gear. Explore the Favorites menu. Make sure that the Dolphin file explorer is there. By clicking Dolphin your Home folder will open.
You can also add a widget on the desktop. Point to some empty space on the desktop. Right click the mouse button then select Add widgets. At the bottom of the screen some windows open. In the categories, look for file sytem. Choose and enter. A widget of your home will be displayed.

One advice. I think you should run the Synaptic Package. Manager to make sure you get all necessary packages for KDE. In the QuickFilter text area enter KDE. All packages that relate to KDE will be displayed. Explore to see if there is something you need that was not installed.
Select all the packages you want. Any package required for the one you selected will be chosen for installation.

Lost my original clock how do i get it back

You can restore the clock using the same procedure as putting any widget on your phone.

Go to the screen where you want the clock and then do a "long press" on an empty portion of the screen. Basically hold your finger on the screen for 3-5 seconds until the widget menu appears.

- Tap Widgets (it may be under a separate menu like "Sense Widgets"

- Scroll to the widget that you want and tap to select it. If there are any customization options, they will come up now. Choose the options you want and then select Done. Your widget will now be on your screen.

You can move your widget by doing another long press on the widget and dragging it where you want it and then releasing.

Can't get a Widget back!

This should help you...

Open your widget bar by touching the "W". Once it's open, add all of your widgets to the home screen. Stack them from top of the screen down. that should allow you to scroll down to the one you can't get to otherwise. Now simply move that one up higher, then begin to put back the ones you don't want into your widget bar in order from bottom to top. Once you have them docked back where you want them, click the "X" to close the widget bar.

Problem should be solved.
