Solve : Outlook sends .jpeg as 102 .dat emails?

Answer»

When I send an email with a photo attached, the receiver gets 102 emails for each one, all as .dat which they can neither read nor see a picture.
I am using XP. I have had the PC for a year and until recently had worked properly.
The only change I made was to add a webcam about three weeks ago. Could this have caused a problem?
I hope someone can help,
Thanks, GillHow are you sending these emails?Using MICROSOFT outlook I make a new email and usually drag the photo onto the email page. This has worked for me for years. Since this problem I have tried attaching the photo, using the ATTACHMENT paper clip. The same thing happens either way.When you send .jpgs do all the recipients experience this, or is it just one particular recipient? I ask because it is possible the problem is not on your end. Unfortunately it's everyone.I found this:

This was the problem.
Thanks for your help and for SPENDING the time to research.
All right, Good Job.

Solve : Nvidia control panel Uninstall?

Answer»

Hi
After ALOT of thought, I have now decided to get the Ati 4870, instead of the Geforce 260. Now, what I need to know is, do I have to uninstall the NVIDIA control panel? Or would it be ok to just leave this installed. Also, what will the new Ati control panel name be, and will this be compatible with windows vista 32bit?

I have never ever had an Ati card before, so I’m very unsure about this card myself. Also, can anyone give me some thoughts on what you think about this card! Thanks!!
Uninstall the OLD Nvidia drivers from Control Panel, then turn off.
Physically install the new card, power up, install the latest ATI drivers.

The ATI software is Catalyst Control Centre.

That's a good card, but it does RUN hot.Quote from: Calum on October 21, 2008, 11:04:22 AM

Uninstall the old Nvidia drivers from Control Panel, then turn off.

Where in the control panel do I uninstall the Nvidia drivers? Do you mean through the device manager? Thanks!!Sorry, under Programs in Control Panel, the equivalent of Add/Remove Programs on XP.

Solve : printing in Excel?

Answer»

Hi guys, i have a bit of a problem that i can't seem to find a SOLUTION to - i want to print non adjacent cells in Excel. At the moment I'm trying to highlight a ROW hold down the CTRL key and highlight a column and then set a print area this does work but when i preview the page the row and column are printing on two separate PAGES so i tried adjusting the page setup to fit to one page but the same thing happens. Is there any way around this or what am i doing wrong someone please help me its driving me nuts.

thanks very mucha quick WORKAROUND would be to copy and past the cells next to each other then set that area as the print area.

FBOne technique you can use to resolve this problem is the Hide the column(s) between the non-adjacent columns you want to print. Then, those hidden columns will not be included in your print output.

To hide column(s), right click on the column at top to select the whole column and then select Hide. You can select multiple columns to hide them all at once.

For more detail on hiding and unhiding columns or rows, search Excel's help on hide, or unhide.

Solve : Vista won't run my printers, why not??

Answer»

I have a new Dell and I am using Vista. I have an older Compaq printer and a Lexmark X125 4-in-one. I have the cd for the Lexmark and I have installed it. It says that it is installed and it is my default printer. When I go to Microsoft to look for updates or drivers, it tells me there are none. On Lexmark website it lists my printer and says it is compatible with everything EXCEPT Vista. WHY? If I have the software and it is installed, why wouldn't it WORK? When I try to print, it just goes into que and doesn't print. When I turn my computer off and then later, back on, it SOMETIMES will print something, but not everything in que. I have the printer connected with a USB connection. Please help, I'm in COLLEGE and NEED to be able to print! Thanks.Not all old HARDWARE will be made to be compatible with new systems.

If the manufactures website states the printer is not compatible with Windows Vista, there isn't much you can do about it.

EDIT: Found this too:

Solve : Help! I think I screwed up my registry and can't logon now!?

Answer»

I was TRYING to delete a pesky spyware program on my laptop and was following instructions to delete the registry keys but I think I must have deleted something I shouldn't have and now (after entering my password) my computer just logs itself right back off after logging on. Of course, I have no registry backup...

Is there any HOPE at all?

It is a Dell LATITUDE laptop running XP.Can you STILL get on via Safe Mode?If you can't get into Safe Mode like Carbon suggests, pop the XP cd you GOT with the laptop in and run a recovery.

Alan <>< I had this problem earlier this week,think its called the "log on log off loop"

Done research,and found the only way that worked 100% of the time was to just wipe the laptop and re-install your OS.

But of corse try boot in safe mode,and do a recovery first,because then you won't loss everything saved on your laptop like i did Quote

was following instructions
Where from? What the instructions were?Also, reformatting should be a last option.

Solve : Good music software.?

Answer»

I used to used limewire and it slowed my computer down allot. I was just curious what options I have regarding music downloading software that i can purchase to use for my desktop that won't slow my computer down HEAVILY. THANK you!! (I read the post about limewire issues--just curious if anyone had good software that they purchase to recommend Thanks.) Downloading music for free is almost always illegal and we can't assist with that, as clearly state din the forum rules.
You can use services such as iTunes (shudder) to purchase music online, several stores ALSO OFFER music downloads.www.mp3fiesta.com is a good site for PURCHASING music aswell,and also www.flashget.com that program is good for downloading with.

Solve : My Pictures?

Answer»

Ever since I added some new pics from my camera to "My Pictures" I haven't been able to access ANY of the camera pics I have ever uploaded (all that COMES up is the flashlight icon). And now my computer has started to FREEZE when I try to save a pic from the internet. Any advice or help as to how I can access my pictures and save and download new ones again would be much appreciated Try going to mspaint (start --> all programs --> accessories --> paint).
In Paint, go to File --> OPEN and open a picture.

I suspect the file association has been changed. This will test if you can open the pictures or not.Thanks for the reply
I tried what you said (opening the pics through paint) and the same thing HAPPENED. The flashlight came up and the pictures don't appear.Hmmm....What Flash Light?

Solve : Yahoo messenger and share of pics?

Answer»

OK - up until about a week ago I could share PICS etc quite happily. Now all that happens is the xfer starts and the pics are blurred - pixellated (spelling?). That is the case for either me SENDING of receiving.

If I try and send of rx a pic without using the photo share - then the xfer starts and fails.

Seems to occur for either my works laptop or home PC - using the same Yahoo account.

Tried to uninstall and re-install - nothing different.

All machines using XP - but home one was hit by Sp3 the other NIGHT. MSN etc for share of pics seems OK

Any clues ?So you are worried about spelling pixellated but use xfer repeatedly ? ?
And what does being hit by SP3 mean ? ?
If the same pics work on MSN but not Yahoo i suspect the Yahoo account.

OK

Done some more checks.

I can CHAT, see and send webcam etc in Yahoo and all works OK. As soon as I try and use photo share the problem occurrs. I can see the very rough picture but cannot get it to load fully - ie the pixellation occurs.

My works machine through my router etc all seems ok, chat and pics all works as expected.

Attempts to log into Yahoo for email is extremely slow. Cannot see any Yahoo settings that are wrong - but I guess this may be an INTERNAL to Yahoo issue.

Anyone else having any Yahoo related problems ?I don't use it that often but it was miserable on Thursday...haven't been back.
I only use it for my 2 junk-mail accounts...nothing else.

Solve : Mouse assembly?

Answer»

i took apart my mouse to clean it out, but a spring popped out that looks like a spring with TWO wires shooting out at both ends. Never SAW where it came from so i dont know how to put it BACK in. Im pretty sure it has to do with the rolling wheel. any ideas?

How many palces are there in your mouse? Is it too big that you can not "assemble"?

May be it's time to buy new one?
Try every hole in the mouse to see where that spring fits.

I believe you 'll MAKE it. it works without it, just hope it STAYS that waySince im sure everyone was waiting to see how it all turned out, after a last try to figure out where it went i was successful. It wasnt a necessary part, just added some more spring action when clicking the scrolling wheel.Thank Goodness...I'm going to disassemble my mouse right now!I am gonna give an "assembly" party.

Lets destroy mice!I was cleaning my mouse and also failed to note the position of the two little springs that aid the scrolling wheel. I finally found the following site, whose photos helped me position the springs immediately: http://www.instructables.com/id/SZ9WVUPF03FMNPH/

Downloading the pdf file gives the best instructions on positioning the springs and re-assembling the mouse.Thank you for contributing to a 3 year old topic. You know, that's just great -- people complain when we start new topics, but they complain if we contribute to existing topics...

Solve : How do I configure PC Tools Firewall Plus??

Answer»

Hi, everyone!

How would I configure PC Tools FIREWALL Plus? Does anyone here uses PC Tools? Could anyone direct me to a specific forum for PC Tools if no one can't help me here?I have no experience with this, but someone ELSE here probably does. If not, try here.I tried that site. They removed my thread.

I asked how do I configure PC Tools with uTorrent, and my thread was removed. On most FORUMS, we are allowed to post techinal issues regarding the P2P, or we can talk about how to SET it up. Also, on most forums we are not allowed to say what we are downloading. I guess PC Tools are different? They removed it.I thought, you use Comodo.

Solve : limewire issues?

Answer»

How do i get LIMEWIRE not to open when i open my computer, and my computer is slower than usuall ever since i added limewire. What am i doing wrong? you can stop limewire from starting with your startup,startthen run type msconfig,then click start up and uncheck lime wire this will stop limewire from starting at startup hope this helps bobgar34Make sure, you have really good security on your computer, while using Limewire!Better yet...uninstall it!

P2P...not worth the trouble it causes...Well well well, guess this is what has made my C drive look like a circus clown.

Got rid of it and thanks for the adviseNot a problem...and you're welcome...

Spread the word...P2P = "Trouble!"

You'll hear other comments...but honestly...

1. Why allow someone you don't know access to files on your computer?

2. Why download a file from someone's computer...when you really have no clue at all what it is you're getting?

3. You really want something for nothing? Try breathing...didn't cost a thing, now...did it?

Word to the wise...

If you can't afford to pay for the MUSIC, video, or whatever it is you want for nothing...wait until you can afford to purchase it legally.

I can pretty much guarantee you that most malware issues are caused by someone trying to download a file from "God knows where"...thinking they're getting a steal.

This is what you end up with: A big headache! You have no one to blame but yourself...ya p2p sucks and is illeagle if you download copy righted material and some good options for music for pretty cheap
napater <---- streams from computer $13
napster to go <----- you can accually download files $15
zune pass <----- like napster to go $15hey ... very simple , this is because limewire is a P2P PROGRAM which sharing your computer's thing with the others while others share their with you ... So , it is unavoidable for it to be a little bit laggy ... Besides , if you accidently downloaded certain files that contain virus or spyware from limewire , you would also experience laggy computer .... If you would to continue using the limewire , try to scan your computer regularly and always scan the limewire's temporary folder ...You can also disable limewire from INITIALIZE automatically by ; Click Start > Run > Type MSCONFIG >startup > cancel the tick at the limewire's program and ok ...

Solve : Windows Media Player 11, using video settings?

Answer»

I am unable to control the video settings in Now Playing > Enhancements. I SEE the video settings controls, but when I MOVE the sliders they automatically return to the center position.
Some DVDs are too dark on screen when played in WMP 11, so I want to adjust the brightness.
I have XP Home, SP3, EMACHINES T5026.Leave WM(sorry)P alone.
Try VLC Player: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/OK I downloaded VLC and it has the same problem with the screen being too dark.
The VLC help for this is to turn off video overlay.

I've never ADJUSTED my video card and don't want to change the monitor settings for the card because the monitor is perfect.
Can I adjust only the VLC DVD player settings?
If I make any change in these settings will it affect the monitor when using other applications like browsing and playing videos stored on my computer?

Is my video card the "Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator Driver" "Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family" listed in Control Panel?
If so, I cannot turn off its video overlay, only adjust it. Any advice here?VLC settings won't have any impact on your monitor, or video card settings.

I'm not familiar with Intel on-board video settings, so it'd need some research.

Solve : Pack a file with a compressor that extract that file in any OS?

Answer»

Hi Brothers,

i want that if i compress a file rget.exe with any compressor like Win RAR

or winZip or any other but it should have the ability to extrect that file in

any operating system like UNIx, LINEx and Windows

Tell me many so i can choose any one of them...........

Thanks Usman

I'm not so sure about Linux or Unix, but if you compress rget.exe into a .zip file, it can be opened (uncompressed) on any other computer if it has any archiving program installed. (like WinRar, 7-zip, ect...)Also, please don't start a poll when asking a question like this one, especially when the two possible answers are the same.There is no one single way to extract a file in any operating system, they all have a different executable PLATFORM, thus, an executable will only work on one operating system.

Most common operating systems will open .ZIP files. Windows ME and up in Windows open ZIP fine WITHOUT needing to install extra software, Mac OS 8.6 and Up have the same story (You need to FIND Alladin, a program that manages ZIP files) and most newer Linux distributions support ZIP as well.


Also, I presume you ACCIDENTALLY added a poll, being both questions were the same, so I removed itWhen ever i do i pool ist of all i see all posing and answers on the page and some time on the next page. but when i dont find my answer then i ask question. i am i new user so that i dont know how to ask a question without pooling.Tell me some name of that type of compression softwaress that extract file when double clicked, in any operatng system. then i will experiment them and choose the best one. i m still having this probelm Perhaps you could give us more detail on what you are trying to accomplish...

See, there is no one single program that will manage compressed files on every operating system, THATS impossible. All operating systems use their own executable platform, meaning a Linux EXE wont open in Windows, and Mac EXE wont open in Linux, and a huge circle of combinations of what will and wont work in an OS follows that... i have heard that UPX is a software that support multi executables. i dont

know much about UPX and dont know how to use it but check that one

I'm running Win2k-Pro, Defender Pro 2008, I don't think it is a "real" WINDOWS CD.Your going to have to give US a lot more information...

Do you have a CD Burner? What software are you using to burn?
Is your CD Burner drive the one that your computer is asking you to put a disc into? Do you have more than one drive or burner? ALSO, Windows 2000 Pro does not have any built-in CD writing abilities. You'll need XP or higher for that.

For 2000, it's either a 3rd party program or nothing.

... my friend told me that if you format a new harddisk you should format using ntfs and then while formatting 2nd time or any time you should format using fat.
Nonsense, on both points. You don't need to use NTFS for an initial formatting of a new drive if you prefer, for some reason, to use FAT32, and you can reformat using NFTS as MANY times as you need to. Can you tell if what you really want is a partition? I believe so. Drives aren't making clear enough what is your problem. If is that you want to have partitions on XP they should be format in NTFS. If this is the drive you will be installing XP on, then there is NO REASON* to use anything other than NTFS.

*: There are some exceptions, though: if you'll be ACCESSING the data on that drive from an operating system that can't read NTFS (Linux, Windows 95/98/Me, Mac). Other than that, stick to NTFS.

Solve : RUNNING TIME THEORITICAL QUESTION?

Answer»
I READ THIS ON THE INTERNET :

in external-memory model: The running time of an algorithm is defined to be the number of I/Os performed during its execution. Computation that uses only the data in internal memory is absolutely free.

my QUESTION is : when we say : "Computation that uses only the data in internal memory is absolutely free.
" do we mean the RAM model ?

and when we talk ab running time of an algorithm , we directly mean the external memory model ! and the running time for RAM model algorithm are O (1)
Ack! Out of context!

I barely understand this stuff to begin with! I'm guessing the "internal" memory is for code processed on the chip itself, and may be considered "free" because it doesn't access any other devices or resources to complete the computations.

I are knot a engineer, to be shure!Quote from: Technology_Forever
The running time of an algorithm is defined to be the number of I/Os performed during its execution. Computation that uses only the data in internal memory is absolutely free.

Meaning:
If there is input/output activity (to/from a source other than RAM) during processing then only the delays associated with that activity are considered in the running time (RUNTIME) of an algorithm.

If there is no input/output activity after data is read into RAM and before the result is output then the processing overhead can theoretically be ignored when calculating the runtime. But when one considers supercomputer applications the theory collapses as processing enters the third/fourth/etc... day.

Solve : Excel 2003 Spreadsheet Formula help needed.?

Answer»

I've got a spreadsheet I use for budgeting and mostly it works well. The only problem I have is where the is a negative number next to a positive, it adds them, instead of subtracting the positive from the negative.

Let me explain a bit more. Cell B7 SHOW 1.29, Cell C7 shows -98.10. Now instead of D7 showing -96.81, it shows -99.39.

It's subtracting, but in this instance it should add, so I need to modify my string to include this instance.

Here's the string

=IF(OR(B7,C7),IF(B7-C7>0,FIXED(B7-C7,2)&" over ",IF(B7-C7<0,FIXED(C7-B7,2)&" under","at budget")),"")

Help, anyone?Instead of using cells A1 and B1 in your description, it would have been helpful if you had stated the cells that would work with your formula. I believe that would be B7 and C7, right? Is one of those columns budget and one actual activity? Which is which?

Have tried approaching this from a different angle? Perhaps you don't need such a complicated formula. What if you simply had a column showing the difference and then used Conditional Formatting to, for example, display over-budget cases in red?

It would have been helpful, but you figured it out I was just trying to illustrate what I wanted it to do. While you're right in that I could have an easier formula, this is what my spreadsheet was loaded with, and it's the only bit of it that doesn't work juts how I'd like it. If it's too complicated, I'll leave it, it doesn't make that much difference, since it's very rare C7 shows a negative number, I'm being finicky.

B7 is actual and C7 is budget.

It does the 'over budget' 'under budget' part fine, it just doesn't CALCULATE the FIGURE properly when budget shows a deficit and actual shows a positive.So, B7 is $1.29 and C7 is -$98.10, right? Why do have a negative number in the Budget column, or either column for that matter? That makes no sense. If I remove the minus sign and only use positive numbers, the formula seems to work correctly, whether B7 > C7 or VICE versa.Sorry, my first post was completely ill thought out, I've edited it to make more sense.

Does it help to know that B7=B5-B6 and C7=C5-C6

B5 is actual total income, B6 is actual total expenses, which themselves are made up of a sum of other cells, but these parts work fine.

B5 is budgeted total income, B6 is budgeted total expenses, same as the above.

Now, this month for example, I have more budgeted expenses, than budgeted income.

But, so far as my sheets been used through the month I don't have a deficit in actual income and expenses. Does that help some more? Can I upload my sheet somehow?Shameless Bump Quote

Solve : WHO COULD PLEASE GIVE ME AN ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE ??

Answer»
Dear friends,

im reading some stuff about EM ( EXTERNAL MEMORY ),

they were saying that Some computations themselves are inherently nonlocal, and even with OMNISCIENT cache MANAGEMENT decisions they are DOOMED to perform large amounts of I/O and suffer poor performance.
could anybody give me an example of such algorithm and how they are inheretly nonlocal?

they also said that Substantial gains in performance for such algorithms may be possible by incorporating LOCALITY directly into the algorithm design and by explicit management of the contents of each level of the memory hierarchy,thereby bypassing the virtual memory system.
We REFER to algorithms and data structures that explicitly manage data
placement and movement as external memory (or EM) algorithms and data structures again, could anybody give me an example of such algorithm?

Solve : Free fax program?

Answer»

For many years I have successfully used a Cheyenne bitware fax program which came free with my first computer. In the past year I have gone on to broadband and I cannot get the program to work. Is there anything I can do to overcome this? Alternatively does anyone please know of a good free fax program that I can DOWNLOAD?

I am using Windows XP Home editionYou can't send a fax from a computer without a direct phone line and a dial-up MODEM. Does your computer still have both of these items?Thanks for your reply.
The old modem is still in place But the phone is connected via broadband,
would I need a separate phone line ?Yeah, the old modem would still need a phone line in order to send a fax.You CAN send faxes, using cable connection:
http://mailbag.ask-leo.com/_can_i_send_a_fax_using_my_cable_connection_009228.html
http://ezinearticles.com/?Send-Faxes-Via-Cable-Internet-Fax&id=973284Thanks for these replies.
I do not have cable but I think I can use the old modem and the phone line.You COULD try a SETUP like this. Theoretically, it should work.

Look at the picture I've attached. Between the wall outlet and your DSL modem, there should be a filter of some sort which usually splits the line (one for the DSL modem, one for the telephone). Plug the telephone one into your dial-up modem.

I've heard of this being done, but I've never tried it myself. Like I said, theoretically, it should work fine.

Solve : Free (or very cheap) remote access?

Answer»

I do a bit of consultancy work for a small company who have asked me to give them the ability to remotely access their desktops from home. They used to have LogMeIn which worked very well. However, an employee they dismissed had their login details etc. I've changed their passwords etc but the boss insists he doesn't want LogMeIn any more. Currently we're trying BeAnywhere, however this runs very sluggish and I cannot see a full DESKTOP and I have to scroll up and down to MOVE around the desktop (even on full screen mode).

My question is, can someone please recommend a remote access program (preferably free or very cheap) as good as LogMeIn (and as simple to setup and use).

Many thanks,
Richard.Richard,

We use Logmein and a variety of TOOLS to support our customers. The volume of customers that we have has MEANT that we continue to use the Logmein app, however, should I have my time again I would've plumped for Teamviewer as this application allows the user to initiate the connection and removes any doubt in the customers mind about whom is accessing their network.

Solve : Japanese language support?

Answer»

I do not have Japanese language support on my computer, so therefore anything in the Japanese language I download is being encrpyted or whatever, and therefore unreadable.

Does any kind person know how I can overcome this problem, so it comes down as it is written, and then I can translate it.

Thanks in advance,

BelvinYour OS? Is your OS an English version? Have you looked at the language options in Windows? Hi "Soybean"

Thanks for your reply. My computer was built in England, by a shop that built computers in their back workshop for individual people. I have Windows XP SERVICE pack 2, so I presume it is an English version.

I am a complete newbie with regards to computers, so I do not have a clue how to find "language options in Windows"

Can you point me in the right direction, please?

Thanks

BelvinThis should help: Installing East Asian Language Support Under Windows XP Hi "Soybean".

Thanks for that link. Followed it up to and including step 4. Not sure what to do next, or how far to go, don't want to mess up my system.

Checked file titles - they are still "encrypted" as before, can you advise further, please?

Much appreciated - BelvinQuote from: belvin on November 05, 2008, 09:51:01 AM

anything in the Japanese language I download is being encrpyted or whatever, and therefore unreadable.

Please be more specific here. Are you talking about BROWSING websites using Japanese language, or are you talking about downloading text documents that would normally be viewed in a word processor, etc.? Exactly what do you mean?

And, do normally need to just view something with Japanese language, or do you also need to type Japanese from your keyboard?Hi "Soybean" Many thanks for your patience.

In answer to your first question - No I have downloaded some Japanese documentary films, which had Japanese titles which came down encrypted because I did not have Japanese language support. I need to be able to somehow see them in their original form, so I can COPY and paste them in one of the translation sites, to get the correct meaning. I was hoping that doing your tutorial step 1 - 4 would correct them back to their original form, but it did not.

To your second paragraph the first PART I suppose the answer is "yes", but to the second part of the question is "no"So, you're trying to watch Japanese documentary films that you've downloaded. In that case, I suspect doing so does not require installing Japanese language support in your computer. Since you're watching a film, that's a different matter than viewing a webpage with Japanese language on it or being able to type Japanese characters from your keyboard. Whatever is recorded on film is what you get, period. At least, that's my thinking on this.

Do the Japanese documentary films offer an on-screen panel where you can select certain preferences for how you view and listed to the film?

Since I'm not familiar with Japanese documentary films, I can not assist you further. If anyone else has some thoughts on this, please jump in.Hi "Soybean"

No, you misunderstand me. It is not the film that matters. They are in AVI format and watchable. It is the titles which were originally in Japanese language, which have downloaded with the films which are encrypted - these are what I am trying to sort out, back to their original writing to allow me to translate them.

Thanks
