Solve : desktop spell checker? |
|
Answer» A few years ago before my husband passed away he had a neat spell checker he could easily ACCESS WITHOUT being in Word. If he was writing an email and making a journal page and he wasn't sure of the correct spelling, he could just click SOMETHING and the checker appeared on whatever he was doing. He would put in the word he wasn't sure about and the checker would offer him the correct spellings. His computer is gone now and I have no idea where to get this. It was a free download and I don't even know what is was called. This would be very beneficial to me since I do a lot of writing that is not in word and then I have to go to word and type in the word and use it's spell checker. If anyone out there can help me I would greatly appreciate it. Plus my grandchildren could make use of it also. THANKS for info. you can provide. I saved it to my favorites just in case I lose it somehow or my friends want it.Don't forget, that we're always here, just in case... |

Solve : Is GoogleUpdate.exe a safe program?? |
|
Answer» There's supposed to be a browser plugin for Google Earth that apparently requires GoogleUpdate.exe to be installed. My firewall is bringing up all these concerns about it, so I'm just kind of wondering if it's safe.I've never had a safety/security problem with anything Google's programs do.I too installed the Google Earth plugin and after that GoogleUpdate.exe appeared in my list of running processes. It is "safe" but whether it is kind to your system is another question. When I ran the Google Earth full program it used to send my CPU USAGE to 100% and everything else ran more slowly (3.0 GHz P4 Prescott & 1 GB RAM) I've never had a safety/security problem with anything Google's programs do. Well, I'm questioning it because I wasn't sure if I was downloading it from a legitimate site or not. Then when the firewall began sending up all these red flags, it made me wonder EVEN more.Quote from: Dias de verano on May 31, 2008, 02:09:15 PM I too installed the Google Earth plugin and after that GoogleUpdate.exe appeared in my list of running processes. It is "safe" but whether it is kind to your system is another question. When I ran the Google Earth full program it used to send my CPU usage to 100% and everything else ran more slowly (3.0 GHz P4 Prescott & 1 GB RAM) So only when you were using Google Earth did it take the CPU usage up to 100%? Or does it hog CPU and memory usage even when the program isn't open? Is there an online version of Google Earth so I don't even need to put anything on my PC?you could give google maps a go Quote from: davidoc on May 31, 2008, 04:29:32 PM you could give google maps a go That is exactly what I did. There is also Windows Live LOCAL, which is Microsoft's similar thing. |

Solve : Word save failure? |
|
Answer» Word now comes up with an error message when I try to save a particular .doc that I am working on. The message says that the .doc cannot be saved and suggests it may be because the disk is full (not so) and I should stop other programs (the problem is still there when nothing else is running). The problem is still there when I reboot. The proble is still there when I try 'save as' with a different name. I also get the message that Autorecovery has been DELAYED for that .docClick on first link in my signature.Broni Probably, it doesn't matter, but how big is your hard drive, and how much free space is left? Most likely, there are other reasons for your problem. As for Word: Quote This error message indicates the embedding information for some of the graphics in your Microsoft Word document has been corrupted.More info here: http://www.dessci.com/en/support/mathtype/tsn/TSN64.htm As for Excel, your error indicates some invalid links included in the file. More info here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/224041Problem solved, thanks to Broni. As advised in Method 1, I saved as in Rich Text format with a new name , closed, then opened, and saved as a Word Document with a new name. The only problem is that I was unable to delete or rename the corrupted file. I got an access denied message when I tried to do this.I'm glad, it worked As for deleting stubborn file, get MoveOnBoot: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Boot-Manager-Disk/MoveOnBoot.shtml It'll allow you to delete file upon reboot. |

Solve : Movie maker for dvd player? |
|
Answer» HI guys, i jsut wanted to know if anyone know a good software to USE to make a MOVIE that works on DVD. I had some digital photos that i made a slideshow with, with music and transitions and effects and everything it LOOKED great i was giving it as a present. i wrote it onto the CD but then it wouldnt play on my DVD i was using the windows movie maker program thats already on my computer. I use windows XP IE7 SP2. Can anyone tell me of a good one that can let me play the cd on my dvd. Thanks and much appreciated. You want to BURN those movies to DVD rather, then CD.what format is the slideshow being published as?its being saved as MSWMM format, i have downloaded a program called Wondershare Video to DVD, but it doesnt recognise the MSWMM format. It also doesnt have the good affects like Movie maker does. Please help.A .MSWMM file is a Windows Movie Maker project file. In Windows Movie Maker, go to File --> Export.The project file, when saved is in the wmv format (windows media video). Then use a free converter such as internet video converter or "super" to convert to dvd format... For movie editing you might want to try the free video spin, which is supposedly a bit better than movie maker. Short review of video spin here at digital inspiration... |

Solve : Having trouble extracting an ISO file to a hard drive...? |
|
Answer» My problem is that I've been trying to extract an iso file (the Mac OSX operating system) on to a hard drive because it is to big to burn on a cd or regular dvd. It gives me an error (I've tried multiple file extracting programs) and tells me that it cannot extract the iso because either the files are already there (they aren't, I've even formatted the disk) or the disk is being used... etc. How do I get it to extract?? There's no legitimate reason to have an ISO and not the original disc. Here's a scenario. He BOUGHT the disk, copied it to an ISO file for archival purposes and then accidentally dropped and STEPPED on the disk on a rough surface. I don't know about Apple, but most licenses specifically allow making archival copies, and it's probably legal even if they don't. Also, I read an article not long ago about how to modify an OS X distribution to make it boot on non-Apple hardware. That probably violates the license, but may not violate the law. And either way, the restriction is unethical.well at least, for music discs, I can copy, rip and burn as many copies of the original disc as many times as I like as long as I am not selling the music for money or massively SHARING it. but for os, I don't know except for you making a copy of windows through slipstreaming. But there's all these technicalities that are annoying. So assuming that licensing / illegality is not in play.... You've used I suppose either magiciso, isobuster or some other program. You can try some tool like daemon tools to see if iso works or not (But as far as I know, I've only used daemon tools in windows and therefore don't know how it wold read your mac disc) All the ASSUMPTIONS aside until we hear from the OP this is temporarily closed. metroidnemesis13 if you need this re-opened just PM myself or another Mod and or start a new Topic. |

Solve : Help! My data was "erased" b/c I added color to the cells...? |
|
Answer» Help! I just spent about 5 hours inputing data into cells in MS Excel document. And I was on the last 10 minutes, doing final touches, & appearance work (such as adding color to the cells)... and then I noticed that all my data had disappeared! So...my concern is...if you were making changes and overwriting those changes by continually saving the document...and somewhere along the line...the data was lost...then you may as well consider it history.I think Savior's assessment is about the only logical conclusion here. I'm using Excel 2003 and, LIKE Excel 2000, adding and removing a background color in a cell is not going to change the data in the cell. Did you, at any time, save the file under a different name or in a different folder so that you would have multiple versions of it? |

Answer» Hey guys, I have recently become very worried about the security of my computer. At the moment I have the following programs installed to keep my computer secure. the 7.5 the updates i read continue til the end of the year but I may be wrong It says end of the year on their forums... http://freeforum.avg.com/read.php?1,123812Quote You should upgrade to AVG 8.0 free version as the 7.5 free version is no longer updating it's virus definitions from May 31st. AVG 7.5 will be supported thru the end of this year at least... What firewall do you have? Maybe try Comodo...I have not installed any firewall software so i presume either I do not have a firewall or I have the firewall which came with Windows Vista. Should I loacate this and uninstall it before I install a new one?If you have windows firewall and you want to install a 3rd party firewall like comodo just turn off windows firewall and actually when you install comodo firewall it will do that automatically. You cannot uninstall windows firewall Ok thanks very MUCH for your advice I have installed AVG 8.0 and I am so far impressed with the new features. I have also installed Comodo and I am glad to have my computer nice a safe you're welcome |

Solve : Pictures have disappeared...HELP!!!? |
|
Answer» Hey all, For the next time try using this: http://www.dealsonic.com/xtgp53usb20c.html. It is just a little thing, but it works like a dream. We bought it when the transfer software on our camera gave up the ghost and have not regretted it since. Just plug it into a usb port and XP recognizes it as a hard drive even without a memory cards inserted. Put in a card and the Windows picture viewer starts up showing your pictures. You can then save them to your computer, delete them, rename them, anything at all. When you are done just disconnect and slip it into your pocket. It also writes to the memory cards. And for the price you can get 2 or 3 without breaking the bank. Just curious ...does it ship with Win98 drivers ? ?I managed to recover data from my mother's digital camera- it was a movie where my brother was singing. Needless to say he deleted it. But I plugged it into my USB card reader and ran Fix-It Utilities file recovery program, and lo and behold, I recovered the AVI perfectly! My brother is lucky I don't like uTube...Concerning the Win98 drivers - I did receive a mini-cd with drivers. I don't run Win98 at home so have not tried to load them. |

Solve : strange MS Word problem? |
|
Answer» A customer cam to me with a strange Word problem. When they hit return in the document the cursor goes to the bottom of the page. I thought that their blank document template was somehow changed but that was not it. thought that their blank document template was somehow changed but that was not it.How do you know that?Ok, from the top: If show/hide is pressed I see the paragraph symbol after each "test" and what looks like a bullet in front of each "test" I checked the template "Normal" at C:\Documents and Settings\"user"\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates. It showed no changes yet acted just like the blank document. I looked at the format paragraph box and tested the Page Break Before box. That created a new page when I hit return. All of the returns I did before this were contained on one page. I will have to get the user to send me a screen shot and then I will post it. The version is Windows 2000.Quote from: Kando on May 21, 2008, 10:45:23 PM Ok, from the top:In the Paragraph dialog box, make sure everything is unchecked, except for Window/Orphan control. And I'm assuming you already looked into this, but verify that bullets are turned off. Also make sure you are not using a certain Theme or Style Set. And what if you use another template beside Normal/Default? Does the problem still occur? I've never encountered this sort of problem before, so I'm pretty much grasping at straws at the moment, but I will look into it further and see if I can come up with any ideas.Quote from: Kando on May 21, 2008, 10:45:23 PM I checked the template "Normal" at C:\Documents and Settings\"user"\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates. It showed no changes yet acted just like the blank document.I still don't THINK we can assume there's no problem with your Normal.dot file. I suggest you follow the procedure explained at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/BlankDocNotBlank.htm for "Creating a new Normal.dot from scratch". In other words, find your Normal.dot file (with Word closed), rename it, then start Word. Word will create a new Normal.dot file. If that does not solve the problem and you want to revert to the original Normal.dot file, then just close Word and reverse the renaming procedure. I think that is what I will be doing. It should save time looking for the right settings and save more time compared to uninstalling and re-installing. Thanks Ah, of course, good advice. I was far too tired to think of that. Let us know how it works out for you.I was not able to get back to the customer and she was not of a mind to follow the INSTRUCTIONS for recovering Normal.dot. I suggested she download Open Office and delete MS Office. A couple of click, a check box to fill in, and she is back in business. Thanks for all the advice and the links. I will keep them handy for the next time. Hmm, uninstall MS Office and install OpenOffice. That's quite a leap to solve a minor problem. Well, to each his ... err, her ... own. Well, she is an older public school teacher, and with the year coming to an end it was more important to be able to get her work finished than to figure out another MS problem. She is happy with it and I come across as a hero. No complaints.Well, fixing Normal.dot is a simple procedure. Just rename the file and let Word create a new one. That would have quickly revealed whether the problem resided in the old Normal.dot. But, anyway, if she's happy and you look like a hero, all is well then, I guess. |

Answer» Hi everyone, is this a microsoft word document that you are talking about? and if so did you save it has a word document. yes thats exactly what i was doing ..and it is a microsoft word doc. i dont have a copy of it on the comp, its now only on the usb and it opens with little boxes. Carbon, yes im trying to open it on the same pc, i tried another computer as well but their word wasnt working, when i opened it on their WORDPAD i got the same boxes.ok.... try placing the document ONTO your pc first and then try to open it .save it into documents etc.We might have to face the probability that the file is corrupted...corrupted davidoc..how can i save it on the computer? everytime i open it it frezzes and at the top i get the message 'not responding" Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on June 08, 2008, 06:47:52 AM We might have to face the probability that the file is corrupted... Gone to file heaven. as carbon say's....I think that your file has been corrupted...sorry mate.What is the current file size and how long do you remember it was (like how many pages/words)?currently 43.5 KB before approx 5pages. thanks guys for all your helpLooks a bit more than usual (I made one with Times New Roman size 12) but the filesize seems right. I head somewhere that Microsoft Word keeps backups to the files somewhere but don't get any hopes up. See, this is why you should save it every so often... I learned the hard way too.yeah i know..i was saving every line...when i transferd it it went all long.i tired opening the orginal saved one...and it was telling me 'i need PERMISSION from blah blah to open the file.. thank you carbon No prob. Sorry we couldn't help much though... This is why I have numerous back-ups on my Desktop, SD card (that's always in my laptop) and a flash drive. I'd normally work with the file on the hard drive rather than a flash drive and then copy the file to the flash drive as a backup, assuming you're working at your own computer. If you're temporarily working on someone else's computer, then having the file only on the flash drive is more justifiable. But, even that case, I'd probably copy that file to my hard drive upon returning to my computer. |

The autorun now seems to be working, however if I put a CD or DVD into the DVD-RW (drive E) the box that comes up asking me what I want to do with the DVD doesn't come up. Also when playing a CD in drive D it plays OK but then pauses intermittently for a second or so, runs for say 15 secs then pauses again etc. The download you gave me has fixed the problem of the box not coming up asking me what to do on drive D and the autorun is now working on software CD-Roms (big thanks) on drive D, but drive E doesn't seem to do anything ALTHOUGH I can hear it spinning. Would you say that my CD/DVD players are knackered? Once again, a big thanks for your help!!! I'm glad, it worked for one of your drives. As for drive E, will it play anything at all, when you open CD/DVD through Windows Explorer? It may have mechanical problems. |

Solve : CDBurnerXP, BurnAware, - - free CD/DVD burning software in general? |
|
Answer» Based on posts I've read here, just recently I pointed a friend towards CDBurnerXP and BurnAware as software for him to try for burning CDs and/or DVDs. His system is WinXP. All the rights for the BurnAware project was sold to the BurnAware Technologies company. On to CDBurnerXP...... And we saw this: Quote Additional software Being unfamiliar with XP, I'm hoping to get some clarification here. In other words, what are we getting into? Has anyone here used this latest version of CDBurnerXP under WinXP? Are there any pitfalls to be aware of with installing both of the above, since it sounds like they are both required now? Any and all comments appreciated. Thanks p.s. Any other free CD/DVD burning software that you recommend now? I use CDBurnerXP and I highly recommend it. The .NET framework is necessary as it is for many programs nowadays. I've never experienced any issues with the program.Quote from: Calum on June 09, 2008, 01:14:22 PM ... So just visit MS site, download it, and run the install? Yeah. it's a pretty easy install. There are several versions, but the 2.0 is probably the best, it's much smaller than the latest 3.0 or 3.5 versions, which aren't really needed for many programs ANYWAY. You may, as raised in your PM, need the Windows Installer too. It may already be installed, but to be on the safe side download it anyway.Quote from: Calum on June 09, 2008, 01:47:59 PM Yeah. it's a pretty easy install. There are several versions, but the 2.0 is probably the best, it's much smaller than the latest 3.0 or 3.5 versions, which aren't really needed for many programs anyway. 2.0 Got it. Downloaded. Thanks. Quote You may, as raised in your PM, need the Windows Installer too. It may already be installed, but to be on the safe side download it anyway. "You may, ..., need the Windows Installer too." Does that mean that if it is not already installed, that it will be needed? I can d/l it and burn to a CD anyway. No problem. But, when I get ahold of this XP computer, how can I tell if it needs it? i.e., how can I tell if it is already installed? Control Panel... ? Thanks Another option - if anybody can comment on it - what about simply USING an older version of CDBurnerXP? I see v.3.0 is available, and if I understand it correctly, the .net framework is not necessary for that version. Bad idea... ? I just happen to use Ver. 3.0...... Just ignore the update popup every 2 months or so and don't update it... Runs FINE on Win2KPro XP and Vista...Quote from: patio on June 10, 2008, 10:19:29 AM I just happen to use Ver. 3.0...... Aha! Thanks! Quote from: WillyW on June 09, 2008, 04:16:30 PM "You may, ..., need the Windows Installer too."To be honest, I'm not sure. I've never not installed it, because I like to keep up to date. Plus, I know if I don't install it, I'll need it. Calum's law of software. Quote But, when I get ahold of this XP computer, how can I tell if it needs it?Should be under Add/Remove programs if you check the box to show updates. If you can't see it, install it. Although you won't do any harm by simply installing it anyway, if a copy is already installed it will just be reinstalled.Quote from: Calum on June 10, 2008, 11:48:04 AM Quote from: WillyW on June 09, 2008, 04:16:30 PM"You may, ..., need the Windows Installer too."To be honest, I'm not sure.

Quote QuoteBut, when I get ahold of this XP computer, how can I tell if it needs it?Should be under Add/Remove programs if you check the box to show updates. Ok Quote If you can't see it, install it. Although you won't do any harm by simply installing it anyway, if a copy is already installed it will just be reinstalled. Great! .... good to know that it won't do something odd... CREATE two installs or something. Right now, for the sake of simplicity, and especially considering patio's comment, I'm leaning towards version 3. As I understand it, it does not require these other things - just d/l it and install. But, with the info you've provided in this post, it is most reassuring, should I need to have a fall-back plan. Thanks for the help and advice - to both of you. You're welcome. It's always good to know there is a simpler option out there, I use a fair amount of older software for that reason. |
