Solve : AVReporter help?

Answer»

Hello!

I need some help!
The Energy Manager Module of AVReporter software lists all measuring instruments throughout the factory, but the NAMES are just mixture of numbers and letters. Is it possible to rename them in the PowerLogic system?

Thanks for your answers!
BradHello!

You don't need to rename them. The names of the intruments can be adjusted optionally in the Energy Manager Summary module. RIGHT CLICK on the name of the measuring instrument and you should choose the add alias name MENU. There you can add arbitrary name for every instrument.

You can find answers for your questions here: http://www.konsys-international.com/knowledgebase/EN/index.html

Regards,
TerryHow can I DOWNLOAD the AVReporter software?
Thanks for your answers! hello

As i know the Company has a webshop, after registration the software can be downloaded from here: http://www.konsys-international.com/shop/

I hope this information may be useful.

Solve : Paint image too small?

Answer»

Microsoft Paint seems to work fine, but when i save an image to a folder it is too small to view. When I open the FILE in the folder it's still tiny & can't be enlarged enough to view. If i try to print or upload the image it's stays tiny. I can reopen paint, get the image & it will show up full size. What can I do to correct this?

I am using Windows Home Premium 64 bit. http://www.wikihow.com/Resize-an-Image-in-Microsoft-PaintQuote from: 49 M on August 09, 2010, 08:23:22 AM

This really makes no sense. If the image is, say, 800 x 600 pixels, then it will appear that size regardless of what software you use to view it, assuming that software does not automatically temporarily resize the image upon opening, which is unlikely, or perhaps actually display a thumbnail of it when you "open" the file? Are absolutely sure you do not have two versions of these images saved in different folders? When opening an image in software other than Paint, exactly what software is it?

Quote from: 49 M on August 09, 2010, 08:23:22 AM
I am using Windows Home Premium 64 bit.
Windows Vista or Windows 7?Windows 7. When I click on a file windows photo viewer opens it, but it's just a thumbnail. This isn't just one pic. Every image I try to save in paint comes out the same way. I can resize an image in paint but it won't save it that way either. While in paint the image will be full size but if I go to the top of the page and click on view - full screen - I get a full page with only a thumbnail pic just like the windows photo viewer shows. It makes no sense to me either. That doesn't mean that they're not being saved properly, only that you're viewer is opening them as thumbnails. Try a different viewer just to check (http://www.irfanview.com/)To see the size of an image/photo file in pixels and bytes, open Pictures or whatever folder in which they are LOCATED and hover your mouse over it to let Windows display a rectangular box showing these details. That's what you actually have.Paint won't save or print anything properly. Paint views any image I import CORRECTLY in full size automaticly but it won't export it that way. Save, print, or full page view while in paint shows a thumbnail only. I don't see how I can go from a full page to a thumbnail by selecting full page view, but that's what it's doing. Evidently the full page view is what gets printed or saved. I just printed an image that's 3708 X 4800 while in paint & all I got was a thumbnail.Well, I'm ABANDONING ship on this one. I'll leave it to Allan or whoever wants to try to make some sense of it. paint.net is a full featured, top notch, free alternative to paint: http://paint.net/I'd suggest going to the virus and spyware SECTIONS of the forums and following the announcement "Read this before..." to rule out any malware problems.I finally figured out the paint problem so I thought I would post back just in case it comes up again. I have a 21 inch widescreen monitor that's causing the problem. It's probably an oversight, but I don't think paint was designed for a screen this big. If I have an image opened up & open it in paint it changes the paint screen size to what I have. This scrambles paint and causes the thumbnail exports. To get around this I reset the default size under properties & put any full size images into the clipboard only. The clipboard keeps the default size of the paint screen intact & everything works like it should. With the paint screen in default size the open tab in paint works properly with files that are not opened and showing full screen.

Solve : Re: How to create a Windows PE boot disc?

Answer»

Thanks for all the useful info here. I do have a question on this topic.

I am used to creating bootable CD/DVD in DOS via bootable floppy option in Nero, but not familiar with it in WinPE.

What I am trying to do is to create bootable DVD and launch ghost32 application to baseline (image) a system. I already created a ABC.GHO file. All I NEED now to create bootable DVD and launch RESTOREGHOST.exe How do I do this in WinPE?

Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks in Advance!First off, did you copy your ghost32.exe to the PE disc itself (during 5-Additions.bat or manually)? You'll also have to copy your restoreghost.exe to PE during that step as well.

Second, this is what you want if you want to make things autostart with PE:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc748941%28WS.10%29.aspx

Essentially, you'll have to edit Startnet.cmd, either by copying a new one during 5-Additions.bat or by manually going to the mounted directory (C:\PE\winpe_x86\mount\windows\system32\startnet.cmd).

Standard startnet.cmd:

Code: [Select]wpeinit
What you can do is this:

Code: [Select]wpeinit
ghost32
This is if you have ghost32 COPIED to C:\PE\winpe_x86\mount\windows\system32 (or X:\windows\system32 when booted into PE). Otherwise:

Code: [Select]wpeinit
x:\windows\system32\ghost32.exe
From there, you can certainly add switches to the end of that to do what you want to do with Ghost.

Finally, after 7-MakeISO.bat, you can use ImgBurn or Nero to burn the resulting ISO to CD, DVD, or whatever.

Even better, you can copy the contents of the ISO to a flash drive and boot to it! (I haven't added that to the tutorial yet). In a nutshell, do this to your flash drive from a VISTA, Windows 7, or PE command prompt (make sure there's nothing on it that you want, as this will erase everything on it!!!):

Code: [Select]diskpart
list disk
list volume
select disk #
clean
create partition primary
active
assign letter $
format fs=fat32
exit

Replace # with the disk number of your flash drive indicated in the list disk output and replace $ with the drive letter you want.

Now copy everything from the ISO (or burned CD/DVD/BD) to the flash drive. Make sure your PC can boot from flash, and VOILA!!

Solve : Windows XP and 7 on same DVD?

Answer»

Hey,

I saw some articles somewhere that you could have Windows XP and Vista/7 on the same DVD so it can be bootable and you have the option on which one to install.

I was thinking of customizing my XP and 7 with NLITE and 7Customizer and then hopefully booting them to from one single DVD.

Could anyone point me into the right direction on a article/tutorial on this.

I have spent hours on Google and I can no longer FIND it.Somehow that does not sound like a product from MS.Quote from: Geek-9pm on August 06, 2010, 04:44:07 PM

Somehow that does not sound like a product from MS.

It doesn't, does it? Sounds like something you could buy in a bazaar. I suggest the OP Googles for "illegal piracy" or "breach EULA" or "copyright law".
Its not an MS product its an product like vlite, and other such tools to customize it.

If I could find an easy way to create a dos boot menu like the screen when you dual boot and two OS' then I could just write the instillation to DVD (If they both fit, Which they should) then I can add the DOS boot menu to startup first with the two options.We know that vlite and similar are not MS products. The things that vlite does to MS products is against the EULA and produces results ideal for piracy and/or illegal distribution.

10-9-8-7....There are perfectly legitimate uses for the likes of nLite, vLite, etc.:

1) Slipstreaming, particularly things that don't slipstream well by conventional means (i.e.: Internet Explorer 8 and its hotfixes, Windows Media Player 11 and its hotfixes, etc. into Windows XP install).

2) COMBINING multi-CD installs to one DVD is another (i.e.: XP Media Center Edition).

3) Automating the installation of the OS BEYOND the parameters of winnt.sif (or the answer file used in question).

In fact, vLite is fine with Microsoft as long as you download the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK, same thing used to create Windows PE discs).

I get that there are Microsoft-supported methods for slipstreaming most things (i.e.: hotfixes, Service Packs, some drivers) that don't involve the "Lites"--USUALLY by using the command line and switches after the .exe or .msu file and specifying the location of the source files, which are typically copied from the installation media to a hard drive location...

I don't think having two Windows installation sources on one DVD alone is illegitimate in and of itself. In fact, it can be done with Windows PE and some scripts. If it is, then mapping a network drive to multiple installation sources at a company with legitimate volume licenses/MAKs/KMSes of XP/Vista/7 would be illegitimate. If anything, it's a perfectly legitimate option for deployment in a business.

If the "Lites" are used for illegitimate use, then it's because the user already has a non-legitimate product in the first place. If the OP is using pirated keys, then of course it's illegitimate (and using even one of those sources by any means would be). The use of a "Lite" alone does not automatically make the product illegitimate, unless, somehow, the user reverse-engineers the installation source to a degree that violates the EULA?

Solve : SKYPE PROBLEMS?

Answer»

I'm a frequent skype user. Recently, on both my laptops when trying to call phones, an error message usually appears and skype shuts down on me. It has been working fine when calling to computers. But when calling phones, it often shuts down on me. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the program but the same problems persisted.

Has anyone had similar problems? Any advice? In the coming months I will NEED the call phone service more than ever before and the LACK of reliability really bothers me.If your using an older version of Skype, update it as the previous versions are rather error prone.

Your using Windows XP right? Update to service pack 3 if you haven't already, this will give much greater stablility and security for the OS and drivers. If a device driver is the ISSUE this will also probably solve it.

It might not be Skype itself, but a driver or a thrid party application also accessing the same device creating a conflict and crashing.

Try clearing out the TEMPORARY files and restarting the application:
•Remove the file from the location as User/Library/Preferences/com.skype.skype.plist
•Remove the directory as suggested User/Library/Application Support/SkypeMight it be possible that calling a "phone" connection requires more bandwidth or noise free ISP connection than to another computer. Perhaps there has been a deterioration in the service from your ISP?
Given that we are dealing with laptops here.Have you tried using them at another WI-Fi location?truenorth

Solve : Can't install Adobe Extension Manager - real weird problem?

Answer»

I'm trying to install Adobe Extension Manager CS4 on my vista PC. It starts initializing and says "checking system profile". Then when it gets to 90% it freezes and launches another setup.exe for a completely different unrelated program (Sothink SWF Decompiler). I was thinking there was a mix up with the file names so I changed them and deleted the other program's setup file. I tried again and the same thing happened.

SO I went into task manager and located the unwanted setup > went to the process > located the .exe (was in a temp FOLDER) > tried to delete it > needed "permission" > closed the setup and it disappeared.

So I thought I'd deleted it and FIXED the problem. But it happened again the next time. Located the file, and now it's a completely different file. Basically did this over a few times and discovered that the Adobe setup is CREATING the second setup for a completely unrelated program and running it. Progress on the program I WANT to install never goes past 90%. I NEED this installed tonight! It's 2:26am. Please help!You need to let it complete. This may take a long time to do.

The extension manager reads across many formats including the SWF decompiler. Its adding it and then looking over your system to find the programs and files you have. This is why it sits at 90% for a long time.

Wait and let it finish then if you get an error post it here.

It's okay. Never mind. I ended up INSTALLING Adobe Extension Manager CS5 instead (which didn't stall at 90%). Then to be compatible with that I needed to upgrade Flash to CS5. But it worked anyway. Just took me a few hours.

Solve : Delette account help?

Answer»

How do I get rid of my Blogger Account I want to closs it and go to another Blog website??

It is giving me to many problems and I am having a hard time getting help??Google Blogger does not currently have a way for users to delete their own accounts, but you can follow these steps to create the same effect.

Simply delete any blogs. If you delete your blog, we will remove all posts from public view. Because of the way google MAINTAIN this service, residual copies of your profile information and other information associated with your account may remain on back-up systems.

Edit your profile to remove any personal information stored there. For required fields, you can ENTER false information. (optional) Change your username, also in your profile. This will make the old username available for a new user.

Note: If you delete your email ADDRESS from your account, you will never be able to recover your username or password, so do not do this unless you are absolutely sure that you do not want to access this account anymore.

It will take a little time for google to de-index the blog.There is one thing I did get rid of my Blog but when I log in it says edid Blogs and it has my Blog Title I gave it.
And if I click it the next page says you have no Blogs.

OK so I got rid of my Blog but why does it still have the name of my BlogIf your deleted your blogs, that's all you need to do. The website blog should 404 if you try visit it.
Blogger links with your Google Account (so you don't want to delete that), it also provide BACKUP options.
It will still let you login and create new blogs, etc. No way to prevent that, except ignore it.
For private purposes, google actually allows you to re-write the details on blogger with fake information if your fully abandoning it, but never to delete it. These blogs sits in googles cache, so can still be accessed for a little while after being delete. If you could remove the Blogger login, then it would be possible for someone else to come along while it's clearing from cache and hijack the blog as the password isn't linked to it anymore, take over it and make it there own spam playground (so Google prevents from allowing this).

Solve : favorites/bookmarks?

Answer»

I tried to rename a file in the favourites/bookmark section and recieved the following message: "Cannot rename "the file": Access is denied. Make SURE the disk is not FULL or write protected and that the file is not currently in use." I have never SEEN this message before. I tried repeatedly with several files and got the same message. The file was neither write protected or in use and the drive where the file resides is not even close to being full. I am baffled and would appreciate any help! Do not post the same question more than once. I deleted the other posts.Quote from: longlegsbigred on July 28, 2010, 11:18:26 AM

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean you are simply TRYING to rename a saved bookmark?

Which browser are you talking about? I suggest focusing on one browser until this is sorted, then we can proceed to another browser if you wish.

Have you tried renaming the favorite outside of the browser? you can find the favorites folder at C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Favorites. You will probably want to make sure all your browser windows are closed when you do this as well.

Solve : normal.dotm missing Word2007 Win7Starter?

Answer»

Hello
I have recently moved to Tanzania and my new employer bought me
a COMPAQ 615 laptop with
Windows 7 starter
IE 8.0
Word 2007 (and Excel etc.)
I installed a SP via Windows Update. I thought it was for IE8, but my help-about still shows 8.0, so maybe it was a Windows Service pack. I do not know where to check that.

When I change my Word 2007 document settings, such as
normal font, margin settings, paragraph settings, and I click
that I do that for all doc's, Word always asks me if I want to
save that in my NORMAL template. I thought that he was talking
about my normal.dotm file.
But when I close and restart Word, the changes have not been saved.
I could not find normal.dotm, so I tried the advise from
http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=831
and also I searched for normal.dotm with Windows Explorer.

Since I am using Windows 7 STARTER, my administrator rights had
been reduced initially. Windows told me that I am an admin but I am not.
I have made the invisible admin account visible, as advised in option 2 of
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/507-built-administrator-account-enable-disable.html
with an elevated command prompt.
After that, when I logged in as administrator, I still could not find any
version of normal.dotm and I am having the same error still:
I save my style preference, he asks me if I want to save this in the
NORMAL template, and the next doc is again in the font CALIBRI.

In the Word settings I can find the location where the templates
are supposed to be, but I do not see them there.
I had already clicked the hidden files visible.

Can the Starter version be causing more problems than the normal Windows 7?
Do I need stronger admin rights to " search stronger" for a normal.dotm?
As you might see in another thread, I have also problems with a
javascript on a certain web-site.. Is that related to the same admin rights problem?
But a normal.dotm should be produced by Word, shouldn't it?
Thanks
FeddeHave you tried creating a blank word document wih the font, margin settings etc, click on the office button (Top left) and choose save as word template?In my Vista Home Premium computer, normal.dotm is located at C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates. Substitute your actual username for username. Hoi Jokerman
I have tried that one, it does not work.

Hoi Soybean
I have been looking there.
Even stronger, my Word says that it should be saved there, but it is not there, even if I click to make hidden files visible.

Anybody better ideas?
Thanks !Review this; http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA100307561033.aspxYou need to do a search on your system. Normal.dot is created each time Word opens if the previous version is not found. Read this:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HP011210281033.aspxOops - that's essentially the same link Soybean posted - sorry. Hoi Allan and Soybean
The link that you are refering to is about Word 2003.
I am talking about Word 2007. The normal.dot thing is very
different there.
Still, all links that I found on the web about the
2007 normal.dot normal.dotx and normal.dotm write
that word makes it himself if it is not there.
And that is NOT TRUE on my computer.
Not for the admin, not for the user.

So my question is: Is that because of the OS which is
Windows 7 STARTER,
which is lighter than Windows 7 other versions.
Thanks!
While I wouldn't bet my life on it, I sincerely doubt that the OS is to blame. Word needs a normal.dot template to operate - well, normally. Are ANY other templates in the default folder (are you looking in Options - Advanced - General - File Locations - User Templates)?Hoi Allan
You are precisely showing my thoughts and my feelings.
Precisely where you describe, it refers to the usual path
...roaming / microsoft / templates
And in that directory there is NO document with the
name normal
or extensions .dot .dotm .dotx

Everytime when I use Word, the documents are as if
Word comes from the factory:
Calibri 11, big distance between the lines etc.

Several TIMES I have saved myself there a
normal.dot
normal.dotm
normal.dotx
But when I open Word again, it shows again the
factory settings Calibri 11, big line distance.

For an unknown reason, it happened once that
I close word and reopened it, and the doc2
had "my" settings. But when I swithced the computer
on and off, Word was not using my self made normal file
and I was back to the factory setttings of Calibri 11.
Quote from: Fedde on March 29, 2010, 08:45:28 AM

Hoi Allan and Soybean
The link that you are refering to is about Word 2003.
Allan's link refers to Word 2003; mine refers to Word 2007.I had this exact same problem in Windows 7, but finally fixed it. First you must go into settings and change the SETTING to show hidden files and folders. Then you will be able to find your User/Roaming folder, where Microsoft has cleverly hidden the Normal template. I had to use Save As Template, instead of Save, which presumably just saves it as Doc1, the default. Good luck to all Windows 7 users! This must be affecting millions of people...Quote from: firebottom on August 07, 2010, 09:49:26 AM

Solve : DVDs and DVD-Burning Software?

Answer»

I am interested in burning some DVDs. Is there any free software out there for that? I burn my CDs for free by using Windows Media Player. How about DVDs and what kind of DVDs are recommended?Yes, there are free software for burning DVD.

Try:
1. DVD Flick for burning videos to DVD, playable on standalone DVD players.
2. ImgBurn, a very good free tool that can burn ISO files.
3. http://filehippo.com/software/dvd/ --> check out the various dvd tools here and look for the freeware stuff.


for DVD, you can get either DVD-R or DVD+R. It depends on what format your DVD burner and/or your dvd player can handle. DVD+R is BETTER supposedly, but whatever works fine for you, go for it. Or you can get get the dual layer DVD's if you want double the space, but it costs more.

Also, last time I burned, I used TDK brand media. They work great, but you can try other brands if you wish to do so

Thanks very much for the info. My primary goal is taking some short videos, saving them and burning them onto DVDs for my kids. I suppose that for this purpose I would best benefit from DVD-RW because I'd be adding stuff several times to the same DVD???Are you wanting to PLAYBACK on a standalone TV dvd player or is playback on your COMPUTER fine with you?

The DVDRW, you have to check that your DVD player you are using can playback DVDRW's. If your DVD player can play it, you can certainly use DVDRW's. I'd probably have one DVDRW on hand anyway to burn to. Then if it work fine for you, you can copy to a DVDR, the write once, and once finished, never to be erased DVD media.

As I see it, you usually don't 'add stuff several times the same DVD', you usually just add on one go and burn away. Unless you do something like you don't have a DVDR disc finalized after burn so that you can have the ability to add more content later.

If you are authoring a video DVD, usually you just add all the clips you want to your DVD (assuming all the content will fit on the DVD) and just burn away so you get a video DVD like those you can BUY from the store. Usually DVD burning tool will give you indication of whether or not your contents will fit all on one DVD and the quality of the videos burned to it if it won't fit but you 'force' them to fit on.


Or if you want, you can take the videos files (mp4, avi, whatever) and just burn that to DVD (no DVD video authoring) and just playback the DVD on your computer. (Some DVD player can playback DIVX AVI format files burned to DVD though).

Hopefully that helps,

Good Luck



I am currently using this for some of my dvd burning. So far very satisfied. It seems to enable (automatically) the sizing of a movie length to fit on a 4.7 gb dvd disc as opposed to having to split the movie. The free version has an introductory window promoting upgrade to the paid version. It only appears at the commencement of the video and is not repeated. Very easy to use. good luck,truenorth

Solve : Which software please?

Answer»

I use a form comprising of fields for entering name, date of birth etc. The rest of the form is simply lined - all information is currently handwritten.

I'd like to be able to scan and input the information by keyboard and print.

I've tried using Paint, but selecting BOXES accurately on EVERY line is laborious and the whole thing looked a bit messy. I'd like to be able to position the cursor and type.

I don't have Microsoft Office Document Imaging, but I'm not even sure that's the sort of software I need.

Can anyone advise me please what software will do the job I want to do?

Many thanks
Are you familiar with OCR? It stands for optical character recognition program. This program is usually bundled with SCANNER driver applications.

After scanning the hard copy of your data OCR will create a text document containing the data from scanned materials

Hope this helps.If your goal is to replace your pen and paper version of the form with one that is fillable and printable on the computer, I suggest using your word processor program to create a fillable form or a document template. Both Microsoft Word and the free Open Office suite have instructions for doing this. This would require you to essentially recreate your form on the computer, using your paper form as a guide.

If you must retain the exact appearance of your paper form, I suggest scanning the form and inserting it as a watermark in a document template you would create in your word processor. On top of this watermark background you could insert borderless transparent text boxes POSITIONED over each text field and formatted to your desired font and size. Each time you open a new document from this template you will be able to TAB from one text box field to the next and fill the form, save and/or print it.

Solve : MS Excel time format question?

Answer»

Hi All,

I am using the software Benchlink Data Logger 3 to take some measurements (electrical current) and then exporting the data into a .csv file. From there I have an excel template that I use to graph the "raw" data. The template I have was designed for the Benchlink Data Logger 1. In the template for the older version the "time stamp" was exported as follows:

0.018
0.102
0.202
0.302
0.402
0.502
etc...
(Time as a decimal I think)

The formatting on the cell is Number/General. The template has formulas that use these numbers (time) to show time on a graph.

The newer Benchlink Data Logger 3 exports time as follows:

00:00:00:00:000
00:00:00:00:219
00:00:00:00:323
00:00:00:00:427
00:00:00:00:530
00:00:00:00:635
00:00:00:00:738
00:00:00:00:840
etc...
(looks like straight time in day:hour:minute:second:milliseconds)

The formatting in this cell is also Number/General.

No matter what I have tried I cannot get excel to take the time format 00:00:00:00:000 and convert it to a decimal. (which is what I think I need to do) and the Benchlink Data logger software will not export the time as a decimal like the earlier version did.

Any help would be great. If you need the actual formulas or .csv's and/or template please let me know let me know and I can e-mail them to you as an example of what it's doing.

Thanks in advance.Hello Chuck

I don't think Excel can format cells beyond hh:mm:ss.decimals so the amount of pairs of zeros you have there is CONFUSING it.

I have tried pasting one of those later formats you typed into excel and it's not recognised as a number format at all (despite what you choose in Format, Cells). You can tell this as it left aligns the data when it's pasted.

I've just been having a fiddle and I think we should be able to truncate your data down using a combination of =RIGHT and also TRIM and CLEAN funcitons to be able to achieve what you need and remove the excess pairs of zeros.

However...so that I can understand your data, is the first set of data you posted the same as the second set? Or are you expecting the second set to display decimals 0.000, 0.219, 0.323 (for the first three instances)?It's called Parse

Computer_Commando, I believe we need to know whether ChuckSteak ever has data other than 0s in the day:hour:minute:second columns. If so and if those data elements are needed, then parsing into columns and deleting the four columns representing day:hour:minute:second would not work.

Seems pretty obvious to me Excel will not convert 00:00:00:00:219 to a decimal. Exacfly what part of that date/time sequence do you want converted to a decimal? If you were just working with hours and minutes, then I believe a formula can be used to convert the minutes to a decimal portion of an hour.

No, the first set of data is not the same as the second set. I copied data from an earlier/older excel file that the data was imported using the original Benchlink Data Logger 1 that puts the time in decimal format itself. The second set of data is from the newer Benchlink Data Logger 3 that uses the day:hour:etc... format.Quote from: Computer_Commando on August 03, 2010, 03:34:18 PM

Unfortunately I don't think this will work because, as mentioned by soybean, my data is generally goes for around 9 minutes long and sometimes into the hours as well. Never days though.

My test generally runs about 9 minutes. At the rate the data acquisition logger is scanning this means about 5500 scans in that 9 minutes. So that's 5500 cells worth of data that needs to be converted. Sometimes I run a longer test, but SLOW down the scan speed of the data acquisition logger. But for time I run tests ranging from 9 minutes to 7 hours.Is this what you need?

I tried that after seeing your first reply. Unfortuantely it doesn't get me what I need. I need the time to be in decimal format. If we can "trim" off the extra data then convert it to a decimal I would be golden. In short if the end result is 00:xx:xxx it still doesn't work for me.

Thanks again for the help.Hi Chuck

I think you need to give me more information as to how the last 3 digits relate to time.

For example, I was assuming the .219 bit (in A3 in my example) is a fraction of a second, i.e. 219/1000 of a second. I take it this isn't so?Quote from: LottieB on August 04, 2010, 01:39:27 PM

He said is was so: "...looks like straight time in day:hour:minute:second:milliseconds..."

(A * 86400) + (B * 3600) + (C * 60) +D + E = Elapsed Time (Seconds)

Exactly.
And if you look at the pic I posted, the last part of the number is a decimal to 1000. And one millisecond is 1/1000th of a second is it not?
The 00:00 part is separated by COLONS and if you create a custom number format to interpret as a time value then Excel will read the whole thing as time - provided the initial exported data has had one set of 00S removed (which is why parsing doesn't work as it removes the colons and I'm not entirely sure the remaining data wouldn't still be being interpreted at text, so a VALUE function will still be needed along with something to substitute the final set of colons with a DP).

Well that's the way I'm seeing it at the moment ...I shall not be defeated OK Ignore my last post

I hadn't realised Chuck wanted the other time parts converted to a number too, I was thinking it was just the fractional part.

Is this what you want Chuck?



In which case use Data Text to Columns (the ole parsing) to a general format and then do a formula to get your time conversion.

(A * 86400) + (B * 3600) + (C * 60) +D + E = Elapsed Time (Seconds)
I forgot to divide "E" by 1000.
(A * 86400) + (B * 3600) + (C * 60) +D + (E/1000) = Elapsed Time (Seconds)

Now, we're in agreement, except you need to add hours, too. He said "...my data is generally goes for around 9 minutes long and sometimes into the hours as well. Never days though..." Can't hurt to add them all, since days will be 0.a VBA Macro can do the trick.


Alt-F11. Choose Insert->Module from the Visual Basic Editor that appears.

Paste the following into that module:

Code: [Select]Option Explicit



Public Function BenchLink_Format(ByVal BenchLinkData, Optional ByVal Separator As String = ":") As Date
'00:00:00:00:219
Static flInit As Boolean, Stepamounts() As Double
Dim SplitParts() As String

If Not flInit Then
flInit = True
ReDim Stepamounts(0 To 4)
Stepamounts(0) = 60# * 60# * 24#
Stepamounts(1) = 60# * 60#
Stepamounts(2) = 60
Stepamounts(3) = 1
Stepamounts(4) = 0.001
End If
Dim ReturnValue As Variant, I As Integer
ReturnValue = 0
SplitParts = Split(BenchLinkData, Separator)
For I = 0 To UBound(Stepamounts)
ReturnValue = ReturnValue + CDec(Val(SplitParts(I)) * Stepamounts(I))
Next I


BenchLink_Format = ReturnValue




End Function


now use it in your spreadsheet as follows:

Code: [Select]=BenchLink_Format(Value)

in the test spreadsheet I had column A contain the data you provided. Column B was just =BenchLink_Format(A1) set to fill downward. The resulting spreadsheet looks something like this:

Code: [Select]
00:00:00:00:000 0
00:00:00:00:219 0.219
00:00:00:00:323 0.323
00:00:00:00:427 0.427
00:00:00:00:530 0.53
00:00:00:00:635 0.635
00:00:00:00:738 0.738
00:00:00:00:840 0.84

The result is represented in seconds.

Solve : Windows Mail login problem?

Answer»

Not MUCH to go on system detail wise but someone l know uses Windows Mail and was logged into their account.
Then for some unknown reason (don't ask!) they had their whole computer system reloaded from scratch and now, when they try and login to Windows Mail, it says they can't because the account is already in use (by them!).
I know that if you forget your password you can GET this changed, but how do you get back in if you are technically still logged in already?
Hope the above is general enough for someone to help.
RegardsThis doesn't make much sense. I believe many email providers will automatically log off after some length of inactivity.

Most likely, this person can access their email account via web browser. If they've never done this, they MAY need to CONTACT their ISP for instructions. I'm assuming this a POP mail account, since they are using Windows Mail. It is, isn't it?

By accessing, or attempting to access, their email account via web browser, they should be able to confirm they are using the correct password. If they can't logon this DUE to password error, they will know they need to reset their password. They can use the common Forgot my password link.

Can I connect a USB cable from the mini to my own and use that as an external drive and install it from there?No, but I suppose you can create a network and install remotely. You're better off buying or borrowing a usb cd drive. If you buy one you'll ALWAYS have it available for your wife's mini.

Solve : QA test system?

Answer»

i sent a few days ago 1. problem (as stated by ccleaner): OBSOLETE software key 2. data: QAtestsystem 3. registry key: HKLM\software\QATestSystem.

and this is all that shows....the full text....... though i have never thought to try clicking on any of that to see if there was more information. should i right or left click on something?

I finally figured this out, since I have two systems with this reoccurring symptom.

Any TIME your run the Big Fish Games Manager, a "QA Test System" entry is placed in the registry.
CCleaner tags this as obsolete and deletes it. And, deleting it CAUSES no problem, right? Quote from: soybean on April 11, 2010, 08:08:54 AM

And, deleting it causes no problem, right?

That is correct. The Big Fish Games Manager USES the registry only while it's in use. Thanks, and welcome to the forum.

Solve : XP Home remote access?

Answer»

I WANT to access and copy files from my home computer remotely (USING XP Home on both computers).
Now the notes on the internet on how to do this are a bit confusing (to me anyway).
It says that you go into the communications folder and select the remote access entry. On my XP Home edition l have an entry called Hyper TERMINAL.
Maybe l'm confusing XP Home with XP Pro because it then says when you are LOGGED in, you get a display of the remote computer.
Yet in the Hyper Terminal Display l just get a blank screen waiting for input! So how do l copy a file? Just click on the open file icon?
SORRY to appear a bit thick.
ThanksRemote Desktop is not available in XPHome...

Solve : Benefits of .zip files??

Answer»

Hello:

I'm experimenting with zip files. Example: Using 7-Zip, I selected 15MB worth of pics and put them in a .zip FILE using the "Ultra" compression level. I started with 15MB and ended with 15MB. I emailed them to myself and it TOOK as long to send as if I attached the photos separately. Therefore, I don't see the benefit. Can you please explain?Zip files, and other compressed formats, are only really good at compressing non-compressed files. Pictures are USUALLY already compressed (like the most common .jpg FORMAT is) and so zipping them doesn't reduce the file size appreciably. Try that again with, say, text files, and you'd most likely see a huge difference.
Hope this helps.Thanks, that makes sense,You're welcome, glad I could help.You might want to read this, although it might be more than you want to know.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZIP_%28file_format%29

Zip files were originally mainly created to compress spreadsheets, and they made a huge reduction in the size of most spreadsheets since they have so much unused space.

Solve : Multiple Mailboxes in Outlook 2007?

Answer»

Hi

I would REALLY appreciate some help and ADVICE, even if you tell me that it cant be done, at least I will then be able to stop worrying about how to do it:-)

Ok, I have 5 Gmail accounts and two hotmail accounts that I would like to be able to view in OUTLOOK 2007. If it is possible, I would like to be able to have seperate inboxes for them all. I wasn't sure if this is possible without an exchange server???

I was able to achieve this with my two hotmail accounts by using the Outlook Connector tool. It simply adds to seperate inboxes so you can expand each one and see all your folders under each inbox.... I just cant get this to work with the gmail accounts. (it may not even be possible)

I have tried setting up the gmail accounts as http, beacuse this does add the mailbox like I want it to but I dont know the correct server URL for this to connect.

Can anyone please help, its been driving me CRAZY for a while?

I know I can craete seperate profiles for each but ideally it would be great to add all the mailboxes to one profile.

Many thanks in advance.

Brad
This is the very question I came to this forum to have answered! There has to be somone out there that can tell us how to do it!
What is the Outlook Connector Tool and where do I find it?

Thanks.
KellyWhy not just create Rules to direct mail to certain accounts to certain Outlook Mail folders?Hi Soybean

Yes, I understand this is possible to direct mail to certain folders but I would like to be able to send mail from each of these accounts and so will need the mailboxes set up. Plus each mailbox has subfolders within and so I would like to be able to view these from outlook too.

thatkelly - you can find the outlook connector tool from the microsoft website

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9A2279B1-DF0A-46E1-AA93-7D4870871ECF&displaylang=en

Anyone else have any ideas? Perhaps I do need to have an exchange server......

Thanks againHere's an excellent reference on techniques for managing email in Outlook 2007: http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/sortmail.htm. I believe the part of that reference you will be particularly interested in is the last section titled Directly assign the account a Folder Set.

Also, I've learned that if you change your gmail account to IMAP (can be done by logging of to your gmail account and entering Settings) and set up the account in Outlook, it will automatically create folders corresponding the folders you see in your gmail account if you logon to your account via web browser. But, if you're not familiar with IMAP accounts, I'd say the option mentioned above, i.e. Directly assign the account a Folder Set, will be most satisfactory to you.

I would like to be able to send mail from each of these accounts and so will need the mailboxes set up.
Just because you have multiple accounts set up in Outlook with their own set of folders does not mean Outlook will automatically send from a particular account when you create a new message. But, the sending account can be selected for any given message you are preparing to send. When you open a New message panel, you have a button labeled "Account" below the Send button. Just click on it and select the account from which you want to send the message.

Solve : Microsoft Picture It suddenly won't accept card reader????

Answer»

I've been using MICROSOFT Picture It 7.0 for a couple of years now. It was on my computer when I bought it, and has been a great basic photo EDITING program for me. Yesterday, when I put my card in the SanDisk reader I've also had as long as I've had this program, always has worked completely fine, I get a pop up error message that says my disc needs to be formatted, do I want to format it now? If I click no, the box disappears and I am taken to my pictures folder. If I click yes, I get another pop up box that says disc unable to be formatted. What the heck? I have pics on my disc I really need to download as they are of my car I'm trying to sell, and I have no other WAY to download them, as my camera didn't come with the correct cord. Can someone tell me why this would be happening out of the blue? I've changed NOTHING on my computer, camera, memory card, nothing. It's all the same EQUIPMENT I've been using for the past couple of years. Help!

Solve : Trying to burn a newsletter to a cd-r?

I need to burn five cd's to send to people who contributed to my newsletter. The newsletter is in pdf form and I can't open and burn it so just the newsletter is on the cd. I can only burn the file which can be opened but on the left side of the window is "my computer, my pictures, my documents, etc. and they can all be opened. Is there a way to open the pdf file and just burn it to the cd?Insert blank CD, format, open the CD using WINDOWS Explorer, then drag the PDF onto it.Thanks but the same thing happened. Can you explain again what is going wrong?

What window? Please explain as much as you can.Maybe Broni will know what I'm talking about.Those are not on the disc. they are links that are part of Explorer.



Gosh I feel like such an idiot because I have no idea what you guys are talking about. All I want to do is burn my newsletter to a cd without anything else on it ie my documents, etc. I don't know how to MAKE that any clearer.

Thanks anyway.You've already done exactly what you are trying to do. Now, this image is from Windows 7 but the general layout is the same.



As you can see, the area indicated by the red border I drew, is the file view. this is viewing the FILES on the disc, which just so happens to be a game disc I happened to have in my drive at the time.

The blue area MAY look different from yours, but as you can see there are "links" to documents, Music, pictures, etc.

These are on the disc, any more then my C drive is (which is an icon lower down). the items on the left are for navigation; they are not on the disc but are there to make it easier for you to move about your disks and folders.

Thank you everyone. I think I understand it now. When I send these cd's to people they will have my documents, my pictures, etc listed but when the person clicks on them it will take them to their documents, their pictures, etc. Is that correct?Yes, that's right. It's just like opening any folder on your computer...on the left pane you will see the folder tree - that's why it's called Windows Explorer. Thank you very much!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Freeze_%28software%29

It sounds like the only to modify it is to BOOT from a CD.Edited** My apologies.

Deep freeze typically can only be uninstalled by using the exact version of installer that was used to install it. Of course, to make the change successful the machine should be thawed first prior to attempting the uninstall. This is with the managed license version, but I'm sure it works the same for the single user license version.

I have been advised to post my problem here after ASSISTANCE in the Malware/Virus section

There are better scanners, than HJT.
