Solve : MS Outlook -- How to enter things on calendar without a specific time??? |
|
Answer» I want to enter things on the CALENDAR that need to be done for the DAY, but there is not a specific time for most of them. How do I enter those without just listing them as tasks or all day events, or are those the only alternatives? Quote from: MTHall51 on JANUARY 02, 2008, 06:24:11 AM I want to enter things on the calendar that need to be done for the day...Quote from: MTHall51 on January 02, 2008, 06:24:11 AM How do I enter those without just listing them as tasks or all day events, or are those the only alternatives?Seems like there's a CONTRADICTION here. If you want to enter "things on the calendar that need to be done for the day", then doesn't entering them as all day events meet that requirement? |

Solve : Vista Vista Vista? |
|
Answer» the next SP will probably fix most of the backwards compatibility issues, and I don't have too MANY to start, the apple commercials are NOT true. you should use Home Premium for general use (not the select-a VISTA wheel!) OK...Let's start from the source, Micro$oft. •Pentium 233-megahertz (MHz) processor or faster (300 MHz is recommended)Do you want to run computer like that? GOOD luck! Windows Vista recommended system requirements Quote Home Basic Quote Home Premium / Business / Ultimate And we all know, that when Micro$oft, or any other manufacturer lists some system requirements, you can easily double it to make sure it'll run correctly, and not like molases. In that case, when I stated many time before, I want for my Vista Home Premium 2GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, and 256-512MB video card, I'm not gonna back off.

Solve : issue with preparing setup and deployment using Visual studio 2005? |
|
Answer» I developed one UTILITY for changing the FORMAT of a SPECIFIC file to the required format. Now i am preparing the setup file for this utility. For preparing the setup file i m using Visual Studio 2005 >> Setup and Deployment. Problem: While installing the setup, i have given an OPTION to the user to select the location where he wants to INSTALL the utility. For adding some functionality i have to update the system registry with the path where the utility is getting installed. All this i want to perform at the time of installation only. Now my question is how to get the path where the utility is installing, so that the setup can use the same path for updating the registry. Every user will choose different path for installing the utility. Please help me out with this. I am struggling with this problem form the last 3 days. Thanks. |

Solve : VLC Player and USB DVD drive? |
|
Answer» Alright, I'm trying to play DVDs from my external USB 2.0 DVD drive (BENQ DVD-RW internal drive in a 5 1/4" external USB housing). This issue could not be reproduced on my desktop SYSTEM with an internal drive and the same DVD in VLC. I realise it's not a solution but have you tried GOM ? ? Set the MIN and max pagefile to 768 for another VLC test...it's possible it is far more dependent on swap usage than other players...temporarily changing this for a test won't harm anything.... |

Solve : Install bluetooth DBT-122 adapter on windows vista? |
|
Answer» Hi there! Good to seeya again blackberry ! ! Hi Patio, good to c u 2! The CD that was shipped with the bluetooth adapter was a cd with a driver for windows xp and lower, and there I had the same problem. I might try to disable my antivirus, it could be indeed that that blocks it. I'll let you know what happens.. Greetz EDIT: Sigh, that didn't work :-(, altough, I'm not givin' up. Does anyone have other ideas ?:-) Does anyone perhaps know how to disable Windows-Security (I see that name above in the window, but it' s not related to windows firewall 'cause I disabled that ONE too and still I keep seeying the same window again and again.Have you tried installing the driver(s) before physically attaching the device?Quote from: 2k_dummy on January 02, 2008, 04:34:13 AM Have you tried installing the driver(s) before physically attaching the device? Yes I did, I tried both ways (with and without attaching the device.Quote Also you may want to check the driver CD that shipped with the machine to see if the Bluetooth MBoard drivers are in fact installed already. Sorry Blackberry, After re-reading this i can see i may have been mis-understood. I meant the driver CD that shipped with the computer itself...perhaps there is a bluetooth MBoard driver that has to be installed first. Remove the other device driver before doing this if in fact there is one on there. You may also want to check the BIOS to see if it has to be enabled prior to running any devices...Quote from: patio on January 02, 2008, 09:05:46 AM QuoteAlso you may want to check the driver CD that shipped with the machine to see if the Bluetooth MBoard drivers are in fact installed already. I checked the CD's but there was only a video driver (altough I have searched for that one too, so I found a solution for one thing, but not for the problem I wanted lol). There is also no bluetooth driver onboard. I also chatted with the (my pc is a hp) hp assistant online, but that didn't bring me a lot further, let's just say I've met smarter people online then those there ;-). Anyway, if somebody else knows a solution: it's more then welcomeQuote let's just say I've met smarter people online then those there ;-). I know it's not a direct solution but a combo PCI USB/Bluetooth card is only about 25 bucks...and you could always use more USB ports no ? ?Quote from: patio on January 03, 2008, 11:11:36 AM QuoteThat would be a half acceptable solution if I would have indeed a PCI slot avaible.. I know I'm a difficult case and I whine a lot, but I would die to see it working :-)Not difficult at all....challenging is a better word for it.let's just say I've met smarter people online then those there ;-). What are the MBoard specs ? ?Quote from: patio on January 04, 2008, 10:04:21 AM Not difficult at all....challenging is a better word for it. http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/be/nl/ho/WF06b/36755-324115-520447-520447-520447-80230856-80552887.html that's my pc and there are all the specs LISTED ;-) You might want to use babelfish to translate some parts, but I think most will be understandableNo translation needed...Nice Machine for an HP! I'm at a loss as to what it could be as i think we've covered all the bases...did you check the BIOS BTW to see if it's enabled ? Can't remember if you answered this or not. I'm starting to suspect the hardware itself. Will they test hookup the device where you bought it to make sure it's not the cable/device thats at FAULT ? ? Just an idea...Quote from: patio on January 04, 2008, 01:41:32 PM No translation needed...Nice Machine for an HP! I've entered the bios config, but I didn't see anything about bluetooth, just the amount of ram and some other specs, and boot order from devices but nothing about bluetooth. I don't think it's the hardware because the software refuses to install, even before the hardware is connected. If I put in the adapter, I get a notification that the device is found but it can't be used because there are no drivers for it. I suspect vista that refuses to install the driver because it thinks it is pottential unsafe. Is there any way to disable the notification if you want to install the driver even though it is in vista eyes a bad one?Turn Off UAC |

Solve : Excel Banking Summary Sheet? |
|
Answer» Quote from: cstaniszewski on August 30, 2011, 04:40:23 PM I would want cell B1 to display what is being shown in cell F5. But, if I make a deposit or withdrawal in either cell D6 or E6, which would cause the cell F6 to show the new balance, I want the cell B1 to automatically update to the new balance (or automatically go from F5 to F6).I can't give you a solution in Excel. I will say that I believe Microsoft Access would be better suited to the application you want to develop. With Access, I believe a Query or Report could be formatted to display what you want, including the Balance at the top of the report. Okay. I'd have to learn Access, but I will also try that. OK... here we go. I THINK should do alright. Now I'll go 1 cell at a time... A2: Code: [Select]=LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,G:G) This will return the value in the last cell in the G column. The "E" and "F" columns are simple straight numbers. The only snag that I was coming across, is that in order to make the math WORK properly, you have to manually add the "-" (minus) symbol to the "withdrawal" column. I wanted to find a way around that, but I couldn't find anything. G2: Code: [Select]=IF(AND(ISBLANK(E2),ISBLANK(F2)),"",SUM(E2,F2)) This code only applies to G2, although it's almost the same as the rest of the G column, which is: Code: [Select]=IF(AND(ISBLANK(E3),ISBLANK(F3)),"",SUM(E3,F3,G2))All it is is adding the previous G cell to the SUM at the end. Then on the formatting, I just made columns E through G money format, and then I used conditional formatting to make it all red when negative values occur. Conditional Formatting: Format>Conditional Formatting Cell Value Is - less than or equal to - 0 Then format it HOWEVER you want the negatives to show. If this works for what you want, then that's great. Otherwise let me know... Sincerely, kyle_engineerQuote from: kyle_engineer on September 01, 2011, 05:51:26 PM The only snag that I was coming across, is that in order to make the math work properly, you have to manually add the "-" (minus) symbol to the "withdrawal" column. I wanted to find a way around that, but I couldn't find anything.Try PUTTING a minus sign in front of the cell reference for column F in your formula, as follows: Code: [Select]=IF(AND(ISBLANK(E3),ISBLANK(F3)),"",SUM(E3,-F3,G2))Then, you won't need to enter the numbers in column F as negative numbers. LOL! Thanks. I just realized that that would totally work. I was using the SUMIF function, and it didn't work with that. So there it is. Code: [Select]=IF(AND(ISBLANK(E3),ISBLANK(F3)),"",SUM(E3,-F3,G2)) is all that is needed to repeat the G column all the way down... Just copy and paste all the way and you're golden! Thanks soybean!It works GREAT!! Thank you GUYS SOOOO much. That is exactly what I was looking for.HuH ? ?Quote from: patio on September 02, 2011, 05:37:31 PM HuH ? ?This thread got off to a confusing start, as you know. But now, he's saying the formulas posted by kyle_engineer, along with the change I suggested in reply #18, makes the spreadsheet work the way he wants. |

Solve : AOL 9.0 not connecting to the broadband connection? |
|
Answer» I am working on an administrator's two machines and have the same PROBLEM. She uses the AOL client for email at home and has it installed on the computers in her office. For some reason neither of the office machines will connect to the school's broadband connection using AOL, but they are fine with IE and Firefox. I ran through the settings and could find nothing wrong, the firewall is off and she is in the administrator group on both machines. I know it has to be something in AOL because one machine is running Windows XP Pro and the other is running Windows 7. She can get to aol.com but then she does not have access to all of the stuff from the clients as well as not having it in sorted folders. ...I know it has to be something in AOL ...Anyone else having this problem or heard of it? Any ideas on a fix?...It is AOL. It comes up on this forum from time to time. Get rid of AOL. It's no longer a useful ISP. I think you have to use the AOL browser with modified connection settings. Contact AOL, if no acceptable answer, good argument to DUMP it.Well, if it were up to me AOL would be gone. I got rid of my wife's account many years ago and it still annoys me to think of all the hoops I had to go through. Short of switching to the online version, would upgrading to 9.6 make a difference? I have to ask in case there is any hope if fixing the problem. Thanks againUpgrading will not solve the issue...talk her into dumping AOL as suggested above...Alright, but now I have to SEE about importing all of her mail, CONTACTS and folders to the online version. Are there settings for that? |

Solve : excel error message? |

Answer» I'm USING microft excel 2003. I'm GETTING a message that says "The formula in this cell refers to a RANGE that has additional numbers adjacent to it". What does it mean?.Without seeing the spreadsheet, it's hard to be sure, but I THINK it's simply suggesting that you might like to expand your formula to INCLUDE those additional cells. Double-check the precise range of your formula (the bit that looks like, e.g. A18:C20).Thank you. Next time I'll try to remember to send a copy of the spreadsheet. |

Solve : Slow data input? |

Answer» Hi People, Are you performing the "save" function before you exit the program?truenorthI have to save the record each time before I move on to inputting the the next record so unfortunately that is not the solution. Thanks for replying THOUGH. I may be reaching here but i was just wondering about an alternative method that might overcome your problem. Presuming that ALL the computers you use have USB ports. What about storing the template data in it's entirety on a portable flash drive and always doing your modifications from the open window of the data location on the flash drive. Carrying the flash drive to each computer. I presume you are always using the same SOFTWARE when you access and use the data. If this method does offer the solution i would urge that you duplicate the current situation on a 2nd flash drive as data loss has been known to occur on portable flash drives. truenorthThanks for the reply. I will have a word with the IT support guy and pass on your suggestions. Your help was much appreciated. |

No matter what I do, I can not scan from the printer. I have downloaded all of the latest drivers per HP's instructions and I still have to scan manually. Also, everytime I reboot I get a printer error message about some file that can't be found. I just cancel it and go about my merry way. I got the "Data Already in Use" message with my non-admin account. It seems the problem is solved by moving a shortcut for the "Updates from HP" from the All Users Startup folder to the HP_Administrator's Startup folder. Now the Updates program does not start for the non-admin users. Anyway it is necessary to have the admin rights to install the updates. |

Solve : VLC Player - Command Line Operation? |
|
Answer» HEY All, So I'm trying to build a little .bat which will open VLC, run 1 video for a while, then run a second, then close VLC, and the .bat. [I'm doing this so that I can setup automated screen watching for a series of plasma TVs I maintain.] The only thing I'm running into really, is making sure that the aspect ratios are correct on the display. I am pretty sure that the videos are 4:3, so I'm editing them now and testing that, but for the sake of simplicity, is there a way to stretch or tile using VLC so that it covers the whole 16:9 display? Here's the code I have now, if you have any ideas, I'd love to hear: Code: [Select]@echo off set word=Inspecting :CHECK title %word% Computer Configureation... set /a pingnum=15*%Random%/32768+1 ping -n %pingnum% 127.0.0.1 if exist %PROGRAMFILES%\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe goto PROMPT REM Install VLC Player - Skipped if already installed. title Installing VLC Player... cd C:\ScreenFix vlc_installer.exe set /p installed= Once you have completed installation, enter 'y'. if %installed%=='y' echo Thank You... set word=Re-inspecting goto CHECK cls echo. echo This will take 8 hours. set /p ok=Is this OK? [y/n] if %ok%=='n' goto END REM Wash 1 (stuck pixel remover) cd %ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN\VLC vlc.exe -l -f --no-video-title-show C:\ScreenFix\media\wash1.vob ping -n 21600 127.0.0.1 taskkill /f /im vlc.exe REM Wash 3 (Color Balancing - removes slight ghosting) vlc.exe -l -f --no-video-title-show C:\ScreenFix\media\wash3.vob ping -n 7200 127.0.0.1 taskkill /f /im vlc.exe :END exit Anyway, MIND you this is a rough draft, but I do want it to be a little flashier than necessary, so ignore the pointlessness there. The main thing that I want to know, is if there is anyone out there that uses VLC, that would be able to GIVE me a hint. Thanks, Kyle P.S. Also, anyone got any ideas on how to do the wait and kill better? Cause the little Code: [Select]vlc.exe -l -f --no-video-title-show C:\ScreenFix\media\wash1.vob ping -n 21600 127.0.0.1 taskkill /f /im vlc.exe won't work. "-l' makes VLC loop endlessly, so the .bat never gets to START counting the pings... But I may have that under control. |

Solve : Adobe Reader 8 will not update to Adobe Reader 9 or 10 - also will not uninstall? |

Answer» Hi, hopefully the title kind of explains the general situation. I have a Compaq Presario C500 Laptop with Vista Home EDITION installed (Intel Celeron M CPU 1.86 GHz/1.50 GB Ram/Vista SP 2. I am using another PDF editor named as classic PDF reader.Can you provide a link to "classic PDF reader"? I did a search but don't anything that clearly looks like a PDF reader for a Windows PC. I uninstalled Adobe Reader as it was a huge resource hog. Downloaded and installed the free Nitro PDF Reader and I'm very happy with it. http://www.nitroreader.com/ You might consider switching to an alternative program for reading PDF files. Another free program that is highly recommended is Sumatra PDF Viewer. Read the CNet review and download here: http://download.cnet.com/Sumatra-PDF-Viewer/3000-10743_4-11921508.html Foxit Reader also is a great alternative to Adobe Reader. Quote from: soybean on August 25, 2011, 07:30:13 AM Foxit Reader also is a great alternative to Adobe Reader. Out of all suggested ...it's the best...smallest FOOTPRINT and just *censored* good... |

Solve : PartitionMagic windows 7? |
|
Answer» Does anyone here know if PartitionMagic 8 is compatible with windows 7, and if it isn't, what program can I use that is? Thanks!!Well, it's not compatible with Vista, so I doubt it. What is it you are trying to accomplish here ? ? I am running windows 7 and want to partition part of the hard drive as storage. Windows 7 is only been beta tested at the moment and I will have to keep reinstalling it. I want to use the storage part for the harddrive to save drivers... etc.Why not just use Windows Disk MANAGEMENT for the task ? ?Quote from: patio on June 05, 2009, 07:28:18 AM Why not just use Windows Disk Management for the task ? ? Can I use this after windows has been installed? I looked to see if I could do it before I installed windows but the option was grayed out.Maybe partiton resizer? havent messed with that in a long time so I cant say but felt the need to mention it.Faint hope. Quote from: Crafty on June 06, 2009, 09:52:55 AM Can I use this after windows has been installed?Yes. I believe this reference for Vista also applies to Windows 7. Edit: Here's the link I forgot: Working Around Windows Vista’s "Shrink Volume" Inadequacy ProblemsPartition Wizzard claims to be Windows 7 Compatable. Acronis Disc Director also works with 7, but I've had TROUBLE using it to increase the size of the system partition.Easus FREE Works fine in Win7...Actually I tried to make some changes with Disk Director with no success so I am now doing it with Easus Pro (which I forgot I have) and it seems to be working fine. It's going to be a LENGTHY process (SHRINKING 1 partition, moving 5 partitions, increasing free space on system partition) but I'll report back when it's (hopefully successfully) finished. Oh - and where Acronis said it would need to boot 5 or 6 times during the process, Easus seems to be doing it all in one step!Well, it took less time than I thought - just under an hour. The only minor glitch was that upon rebooting when exiting Easus, Windows went to the boot options screen and suggested BOOTING to the repair options. I passed and told it to do a normal boot, which it did. I'm guessing Windows was confused by the fact some program had interrupted the normal boot process (which of course Easus has to do to manipulate the system partition) in the previous boot. Anyway, everything looks good I recently installed Windows 7 RC on a 250GB HD and failed to plan partitions during installation, so all space was allocated to C. I thought I would just use Windows Shrink Volume feature but it would only let me reduce C to about half the total drive space, apparently due to immovable files Windows placed near the middle of the drive during installation. With EASEUS, I was able to reduce C to a much smaller size. I had not used EASEUS before; looks like an app I'll be using again.Nice of them to offer a FREE version... |

Solve : Wanna help with this "Start-up Item"!? |
|
Answer» Hi Geeks! What implication could result in on DISABLING the "Groove Monitor" from Start-up Item? Nothing at all, unless you use Groove - http://office.microsoft.com/groove/Groove Monitor is part of Microsoft Office Groove 2007, which is installed as part of Office 2007. It allows teams of developers to create workspaces where information and files can be shared and used as a team. For more information see, http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/groove/HA101650611033.aspx To uninstall it, go to add/remove programs, select MS Office 2007 - change - check the add/remove option - go down to the MSOfficeGroove box and select not available from the drop down list, then select continue. MSCONFIG isn't meant to be a startup manager. It's a troubleshooting tool... StartupLite
---------- For additional removals. Be sure you are 100% sure what you are disabling. If you don't know, don't do it! Download StartUp 1.3 * Open StartUp 1.3 and you will see a list of your startups. * RIGHT click any startup you do not want and choose Remove * Once complete choose Apply then ExitQuote MSCONFIG isn't meant to be a startup manager. It's a troubleshooting tool... Yet you see people recommending this method here about 30 times a week if not more. Good Point EF.I see it often and normally just carry on... It can be an argumentative topic Disabling or Removal of an unnecessary "Start-up Item" can easily be accomplished using CCleaner. My original post contains the Screenshot from CCleaner only! It is quite a Handy tool, very popular one! Moreover, latest version incorporates "System Restore" feature as well to undo any untoward step! GO for CCleaner!An old program has been updated. Start Up Cop! http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2097,00.asp Good tool for finding strange start ups.I use Mike Lin's Startup Monitor together with his Startup Control Panel. http://www.mlin.net/StartupMonitor.shtmlIf I'm not mistaken CCleaner uses the same method as Msconfig. It's not a real startup manager.I've always used SysInternals AutoRuns, since it has more then just the RUN registry entries, and includes stuff like winlogon NOTIFY hooks and so forth. It's funny, how people just ignore the dialog that appears after rebooting with msconfig enabled, which clearly states that it is more a diagnostic tool then anything. I've never REALLY liked the tools that include a method to "disable" and "enable" them, by moving the particular keys into and out of a subkey of the run key. Why? Well- you never really know what MS might do in the future! maybe they will change it so that values in subkeys are run in the same process address SPACE- meaning these "disabled" items will all run anyway. I've always opted for deletion.Quote from: Dias de verano on May 05, 2009, 12:50:40 AM I use Mike Lin's Startup Monitor together with his Startup Control Panel. Bingo ! ! Same here...I prefer to suggest tools that don't create even more questions... Baby steps No offense to anyone |

Solve : Cannot Uninstall Civilization 4?? |
|
Answer» First off, I'd like to point out that I wasn't sure what section to put this in, but seeing as it's an installation issue, I've chosen this section. Can a mod please move it if it isn't. I'd also like to thank this community for solving my problems over the years. Look at it in Explorer...does it show a setup.exe ? ? I cannot find it. Anywhere. I've searched my entire computer for all the keywords. (Civilization, 4, IV, Sid Meier, etc) And yes. It is legit, if that's what you mean. My computer did lose some files a few months ago, so maybe that's the cause of it. I don't particularly want to play it anymore, I just want it uninstalled. Would what I said in my previous post about going to the command prompt and type that work?Contact the Authors of the game and ask them...My guess would be that there's something in the registry you may have missed. Not saying you should go poking around deleting things in the registry, especially if you don't know what you're doing (not saying you don't, just saying). Did you try the suggestions in those two links from Microsoft I posted?Did some searching around, and it SEEMS these two entries are the ones that tell the computer the game is installed. Try deleting them in addition to the suggestions from the Microsoft links. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Firaxis Games HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{CFBCE791-2D53-4FCE-B3FB-D6E01F4112E8} And these two if you have either of the expansions installed: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall\{3E4B349F-10B5-4586-9D99-489A90A8B228} HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall\{32E4F0D2-C135-475E-A841-1D59A0D22989} And delete this folder: C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{CFBCE791-2D53-4FCE-B3FB-D6E01F4112E8}Quote from: quaxo on September 03, 2011, 07:27:55 AM Did some searching around, and it seems these two entries are the ones that tell the computer the game is installed. Try deleting them in addition to the suggestions from the Microsoft links. Thanks for the help. I have tried all that, all to no avail. I don't like admitting defeat, but I might have to give up on this one.Quote from: patio on September 03, 2011, 07:13:18 AM Contact the Authors of the game and ask them... Have you done this yet ? ?ccleaner has a 'Delete Entry' button in the tools tab for pesky uninstall entries.Sent them an email. No reply yet. Fed, I have just tried it. Thank you. I think it's worked. I'll post later.Thank you everyone. It seems as though it's gone now. I BORROWED my friend's disk and I can install it instead of "removing" it. |

Solve : Excel is driving me crazy? |
|
Answer» The ribbon is far superior to the clusterflop that the Office 2003 menus had become over TIME. The only reason it's 'harder' at any point is because people try to use the 2007 ribbon as if it was the same as the commandbars from 97-2003. Installing add-ins to make it like the OLD only delays the inevitable time when you are simply going to have to learn it, and you COULD just as EASILY do that by using an old version of Office anyway- which brings to BEAR the point that there really isn't a good reason for most people to be using the latest and 'greatest' version of office anyway. |

Answer» Hello everyone. I a new user of this forum. Sorry if this is a repeated TOPIC. I have a project due and needed an answer quick. Hopefully someone can help me. I have been messing around with Microsoft Excel. I have learned a few things but ONE that stumps me is this..... As you can see in the photo example, each person has a row with their data. I know how to sort the data but what I haven't figured out is how to make each column heading sortable. For example, I want to be able to click "shot acc" and have it sort the person from highest to lowest then if clicked again it would sort lowest to highest. Does this make sense? I don't want the drop down menus for each column. I just want it to automatically sort with a single click. |
