Hi GUYS! I'm thinking of getting Windows 7 but XP has worked so well that I'm just not sure. I have heard of people setting up more than one OS. Is this done by partitioning a piece of my HDD?
Is Windows 7 as stable as XP?
Is it worth the money?
Why would I want to fix something that isn't broken?

XP does everything I need it to but I understand it will be obsolete PROBABLY within a couple years. Don't some people still use '98 and 2000? I don't know what to think. Maybe I posted in the wrong forum but this is just an open topic to obtain everyone's 'expert' opinion. Also, if you know how to set up multiple OS' can you walk me through that?Quote from: scottisaNOOB on March 22, 2010, 10:35:38 AM

Hi guys! I'm thinking of getting Windows 7 but XP has worked so well that I'm just not sure. I have heard of people setting up more than one OS. Is this done by partitioning a piece of my HDD?

Yes


Is Windows 7 as stable as XP?

Yes


Is it worth the money?

From your post, it would appear not.


Why would I want to fix something that isn't broken?

No idea if there's no specific need.

XP does everything I need it to but I understand it will be obsolete probably within a couple years. Don't some people still use '98 and 2000?

Yes

I don't know what to think. Maybe I posted in the wrong forum but this is just an open topic to obtain everyone's 'expert' opinion. Also, if you know how to set up multiple OS' can you walk me through that?

Google it. You'll get a ton of hits, some of which will give you detailed instructions.

It's as good as advertised...
Probably the best product out of Redmond since Win2K...which i still run BTW...

There Should Be Something In W7 That It Is Made After XP (It Should Be Better Points In W7)

BC i usually agree with you...
However that being said i find Win7 to be not only more functional than Vista but far superior...
If you want to label it as Vista Wolf in a new sheeps clothing i won't argue...but i won't agree either.

Ever since I reinstalled Microsoft Word 2002 there are gray corner indicators in all four CORNERS of the page. Is there any way to turn them off. They were never there before I reinstalled. Please SEE picture here:

Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

Sincerely,

High_Tech_Redneck Hey, my question was answered on another computer forum.

Here's the resolution:

Aloha Thanks for posting the solution you found. I once encountered the same problem and solved it the same way but I COULD not recall how I solved it when I read your post yesterday. Yep, thanks for taking the time to post BACK.

I took my computer to a repair shop and they lost the driver disk. Where could I GET the original disk from the company? Pretty hard to DETERMINE that with the amount of info provided...Most likely, you can't get the original disk. HOWEVER, you can download the drivers you need from Intel's website.

Is it possible to install PHOTOSHOP on a THUMB DRIVE and boot it from there, so it can be easily moved from machine to machine without having to UNINSTALL and reinstall?NoHowever, this MIGHT be a good alternative, one that can be run from a flash drive; http://portableapps.com/apps/graphics_pictures/gimp_portableFaststone has a portable version, too.

I have been trying hard to change an MPG4 music file to an MP3 or WMA format. What I want to do is be able to burn the file onto a CD to be able to play it in standard CD players. I haven't been able to figure out which conversion software to use and which format to convert to. All attempts have been unsuccessful so far. Any suggestions?

Use Format Factory

http://www.brothersoft.com/download-formatfactory-98431.html

It's extremely EASY to use, If you can't figure it out just respond and i'll be happy to
walk you through and for the burning to a CD part windows media player which comes with your PC should get the job done : )

~ddWhat can I say except - THANK YOU. My problem is solved. I'm still not sure why it was so complicated but I managed to convert my MPG4 SONGS to MP3 using FormatFactory WITHOUT any DIFFICULTY. In fact, it was a quick process. Thanks again!By the way, I seem to be having problems with the keepvid program I was earlier recommended. Each time I enter a link in the URL box and click download, it doesn't download but I get "Download Links" heading with the following:

Links found on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWBFLW8arwU

Report any problems to: [emailprotected]

Please use the KeepVid program to download videos.

But once again, it won't work. Any suggestions on how to get it to work (it's worked in the PAST) or another program that will do a similar job?

Have been successfully using StorageCrypt encryption software to protect data on a portable WD 1 terabyte HARD DISK for more than a year. Recently, a power failure caused a line spike that shut down the system that it was attached to. After that the password to the WD disk failed to work. Tried all the obvious methods to make it respond with no SUCCESS. StorageCrypt support has been useless, maybe because he has no way of knowing whether I'm a HACKER or a legitimate user. There is valuable data on that disk that I would prefer not to lose, but if it is necessary, I would ACCEPT re-formatting so I could, at least, recover the use of the hardware. All attempts to recover or format have been unsuccessful because the encryption prevents the system from recognizing the drive. Does anyone have a fix for this?
Thanks, Jazzbo

My wife has an Acer Extensa 4420 with Vista on it, and I wanted to remove that and install XP 64.
Every time I try, it begins installation of XP and then the laptop shuts off. I re-installed Vista no problem with the back up disks I made.

The Extensa 4420 has 4 GB of ram and I just thought it would fly with XP. Am I doing something WRONG? Thanks in advance for the help.


Sorry, the laptop has Vista 64 on it now. It's a dual core AMD. Not sure of the rest of the specs at the moment.Where is this XP CD from ? ?
Is it from another manuf. perhaps ? ?

Did you make sure ahead of time that there are XP drivers for that laptop direct from Acer ? ?I have all of the drivers from Acers website, and the XP disk is an OEM I bought a while back.

I format the drive, and as soon as I attempt to install XP the laptop shuts off. Thanks for any help.What you are doing is not recommended. Some have done it. This gives rise the the idea that anybody can do it. Sure. Anybody can climb Mount Everest too.

Some time ago I made a post to the EFFECT that you can not install windows XP on a laptop that was built for Vista. Many users here claimed I was wrong.
Yes, it is possible. Bit to do it is so arcane, that it is hardly a piratical solution.

Still, you will get lots of suggestions. Nothing I can say will stop the madness.Quote

I have all of the drivers from Acers website, and the XP disk is an OEM I bought a while back.

OEM...that may be the hangup.
What exactly does it say on the CD ? ?

Have you given up on installing XP then?

I work as a part time administrative assistant for a professor at a University. In the past, he has sent and received his University email through Outlook, and his administrative assistants have sent, but have not been able to receive/read his email, through a Eudora account on a SEPARATE computer. Our university made major changes to the network this past WEEK, and Eudora no longer works in this capacity, and the campus IT people state that we can no longer use Eudora, and that it's not possible to use Outlook in this capacity.

Well...I'm not accepting 'not possible' as an answer just yet! Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how I can configure Outlook to function in this way? Would it be possible to just forward the email through the office computer Outlook account to my boss's computer, and delete it on forwarding? He's concerned about privacy, obviously. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!Don't all faculty have a unique email address, such as [emailprotected]? Does the university use Microsoft Exchange Server, for Outlook?They really need to GET this issue resolved internally. If members of the institution take matters into their own hands, the result will be e-mail anarchy.

Here is some information the IT head should think about.

Top alternatives to Microsoft Outlook < link
Quote

By Michael Palamountain, Enex TestLab on February 25th, 2009

If you're using a Microsoft Windows operating system there is also a good chance that you use Office and Outlook as your email client. But is this really a choice?

More than likely it was a default option; the software is there, so why not use it? Why? Because there might be something out there that suits your needs far better. Other email clients can be highly customised to suit particular industries and may include options not available in Outlook.

How much you can expect from an email client depends on your company size and procedures for communication. For example, many organisations must have shared calendars, while other companies can be quite efficient with individual calendars.

Notes/Domino is a cross-platform, secure, distributed document-oriented database and messaging framework and rapid application development environment that includes pre-built applications like email, calendar, etc. This SETS it apart from its major commercial competitors, such as Microsoft Exchange or Novell GroupWise, which are generally purpose-built applications for mail and calendaring that offer APIs for extensibility.

If members of the institution take matters into their own hands, the result will be e-mail anarchy.

The university may wish to consider IBM Lotus Notes..

This is not a business with a strong central authority, it is an university with much diversity in concepts, methods and practices.

Does anyone know how to get Excel to reference text as a value e.g. So that I can type 'Value_1' in cell A1 and have cell B1 return the number assigned to that text.
_____________________
¦ A ¦ B ¦ C ¦
1¦ V1 ¦ 2 ¦ ¦
2¦ ¦ ¦ ¦


I'm trying to make a table were I can type various two letter codes and get a number return for the total at the end of the week. So the sum of V1, V2, V3 but I need to know how to reference values 1-3 to numbers.I'm POSTING two images from Excel to show what I came up with. The second one SHOWS the forumulas.

I use a dial up connection and consequently it pays to receive as short email messages as possible. I have been GETTING an email lately that must contain a video or something to take a long, long time to download. I use Outlook Express 6 and my question is this. How can I know beforehand how big a message is so I can REFUSE the huge ones and not commit to downloading them.
Thanks for any help.Just skip any that show having an attachment included...symbol is usually a paperclip.Hey patio, thanks for the reply. As far as I can tell the video, or whatever it is, is in the body of the email......not carried as an attachment. Any more thoughts? Can you view your email via web browser? This is also called webmail. Some popular email SERVICES, such as hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, and Google's Gmail are normally accessed via webmail. But, many email accounts PROVIDED by ISP's (Internet Service Providers) also allow accessing email both by email client such as Outlook Express or by logging on to your account via web browser interface.

My point is, if you can access your email account via web browser, you can see what's waiting to downloaded to Outlook Express before you download it and identify messages containing large attachments or have large files even though they have no attachment, and you can delete them before downloading messages to Outlook Express.Excellent point Soybean...
Had not thought of that.Thanks, soybean. I use Earthlink and they do have what you SAY. I did go to the web mail and found the culprit. It solved the problem.
Thanks, again.We absolutely love success stories here...
Stop back anytime !

haha, they all SAY my site is worth 0.00 dollars, hahaha, probably because they have no data on it.

and YET it costs me 20 dollars a month! I'm GETTING ripped off! Expensive.. =O
Website or DOMAIN?
I know domains for $15 a year. =Pboth...

the domain is 2.99 a year. HOSTING is... 15 or so. I forget the exact number.I'm curious...how does any of this resolve the OP's issue? He wasn't asking about Facebook's popularity or value...

I'm using a real basic sendkeys script to create a new file within a program I use on a regular basis. When I first created this script it worked perfectly the first 2 or so times I tried clicking on the icon. Then I tried playing around with creating a shortcut with a combination hotkey that just wouldn't work for me. I deleted the shortcut but now the orginal scripts will not work. I tried creating a new one with the same code but still won't work.

Here is the Code:
Code: [Select]set wshshell = wscript.CreateObject("wscript.shell")
wshshell.AppActivate "Point"
WshShell.SendKeys "ALT f n l p"
As you can see it's very simple but not sure why it's not WORKING... am I missing something?http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8c6yea83%28VS.85%29.aspx

the proper sendkeys string would be:

There was a sample script on the link you posted that had "Sleep 100" in the code. I'm assuming this some kind of pause maybe in mili-seconds. Do I need to have some sort of pause inbetween each keystroke?

im gonna die any minute if i DONT get this fixed..

so, i wanted to rip my wedding DVD's onto my harddrive, problem is no matter what ripping software i use the sound comes out fine, but the picture looks like it gets smooshed into this narrow vertical bar in the middle of the screen. ive tried different programs (trials/freeware/purchased) but i keep getting the same result..

i dont know what to do anymore Was the DVD professionally made in DVD format (VOB)?yes it is in VOB format..

im still having no luck.. a member on the CHAT boards suggested that i use a disc image burning software, that didnt work ..

any thoughts/ideas would be greatly appreciated!What program do you use to rip that DVD?i have 1Click DvD Copy 5, but ive tried AnyDVD, Handbrake, Magic DVD ripper, Clone DVD, imgburn.

only one that i thought might work but i couldnt get it installed in my vista PC is nero. it keeps having an ERROR when installing some microsoft component or something. Try Freez DVD Ripper: http://freez-*SPAM URL*.en.softonic.com/downloadOMG!!!! its a full picture now! im definately going to get the full version of that download, its just that im going to play around with the settings before i do, because the only downside to ripping it into an AVI is the quality isnt as good as the original.
other than that, its awesome

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOO MUCH!You're welcome Try USING DVD Cloner 7 also, it works very well

I use Excel but I am a total novice when it comes to this program. I've asked this question, worded in many different ways, of the Excel ?HELP program and haven't had answer. So, after exhausting other avenues, here I am! I have an Excel Document of 108 lines (rows) and I would like to double space between the rows. How do I accomplish this without having to insert a row one by one throughout the whole document? Why do you want to double space? So that I can have space to make written notes under each item on my paperwork when my computer is not handy.The easiest thing to do would be increase the height of the rows, but leave the font the same. Highlight the entire range then format, row height, and change it to what ever you want or need to make notes.Thank you. I will try that. If you will have to do this over and over again with other excel documents of the same nature versus this one time then I BELIEVE you COULD create a macro. Once you record the macro while the manual steps the first time it will do all of the work for you the next time you need it by simply running the macro in the next document. Thank you for your followup. I am not familiar with working with MACROs as in previous years I had read WARNINGS about working with MACROs and had therefor steered away from them. But, I will look into your suggestion as I can see further need for this type of format down the road.

WVC1 codec

Can ANYBODY help me please?

I downloaded several films from a reliable source which were of different resolutions as follows (853 x 480) & (1280 x 720) & (1440 x 1080) & (1920 x 1080).

The first size I can play perfectly, and the second I was able to convert down to (720 x 480) and I can now play those perfectly.

The two biggest sizes, when I try and play them Windows Media Player, up pops a screen telling me that I need “WVC1 codec”, and I can not convert them either in any of the CONVERSION programmes.

And this is where my problem is – I went on the Internet, FOUND a site that said I could download it from, and it opened a back door to let that scam programme “Total PC Defender” in. Took me a couple of hours to break its hold.

Does anybody know where I can download a safe source of this codec, or could even post a link; I would very much appreciate it.

I realize that these are High Definition films, but I do have a very up to DATE custom built computer, even THOUGH I still use WindowsXP SP3, because it is better than Vista

Many thanks in advance

Recently I received an e-mail and when I printed same the 'subject' reference appeared as a Title/Header ALSO at top of page . Can ANYONE help in how you set-up this as thought it a good idea.

The person who sent the email has a gmail account does that make a DIFFERENCE. I use Microsoft Outlook 2003.

Thanks in advance.

I have media player clasic home and in options under Formats you can pick all the formats you want it to play.

I have ALL selected.

I see in the list it has Qwick TIME and things like this.

So if I go into my AD remove programs list can I uninstalll Qwick Time because Media Player has it listed in it's formats that it can play??I suppose. But there's really no advantage to doing so unless you are VERY tight on disk space. And if you use any APPLE software QT will be reinstalled anyway.u can use media codec to run ur player......u can DOWNLOAD from internet.


k-lite codec pack is usefull one.....



or u can use VLC player which runs everything.............

I had no idea that Neil Pert wrote the lyrics for Rush. I just always thought that he was an awesome drummer. For some reason I had always assumed that Geddy wrote most of the songs. Quote from: Allan on February 09, 2010, 08:31:31 AM

I'm sure there are a few good free AV's, but I personally cannot recommend any. I simply feel that anti virus protection is the single most important app you can have on your system and I'm a firm believer that you get what you pay for. I would never consider skimping on AV software. If you can afford $50 for the latest computer game you can certainly afford $30/year to protect your system.

Money doesn't make a program any better; all you are paying for is the support or a couple of extra features. You're not paying for a more inclusive database.

So then, the question remains - 'W what is the ideal solution to this wide spread problem?' The obvious answer is to use a communication system that is not subject to virus attacks. That would mean having a communication system that does not allow the message to modify any device that receives the message. Is that possible? Maybe it's not possible with a software based system.

Perhaps it would have to be a strict hardware only system that never is modified during its lifetime.

However, that would not be the end of our problems. Oftentimes the purpose of these Mal-ware attacks is to persuade us to spend money on something we do not need. Or in some other way create a fraud by means of a software attack. Well, fraud, deception and dishonest gain were here long before the Internet and long before software came to exist. So then, even a 'perfect' solution would not really work at all.

As you well put it, the best protection is the knowledge, skill and understanding of the user. We have to use our wits at all times to protect ourselves and our loved ones from those hard, cruel and vicious creatures that are sometimes called humans, but are, in effect, sons of Satan.

We have to use our wits at all times to protect ourselves and our loved ones from those hard, cruel and vicious creatures that are sometimes called humans, but are, in effect, sons of Satan.

Wow!
You make it sound like we're in Nazi Germany or something.

I feel like hiding my computer in an attic and making it keep a diary.

So then, if we were to define perfect as being 100% effective, or even downgraded to being 99% effective, we must conclude there is no perfect AV. And if there is, they have not let the world know about it yet.

I can't get windows live calender to send me email reminders to my primary email address, ALTHOUGH I put in in the required slot and set it to send me a reminder a Day in advance, I have yet received one. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong. I REALLY need a GOOD email reminder for my doctor appointments and work appointments.I have not used Windows Live Calender, so can't help you with it. Just thought I'm MENTION an ALTERNATIVE; Google's Calendar can be setup to send email reminders. For info, go *here*.

I was wondering if you could help me understand what I am seeing on some computer service sites. They offer a service to reduce your carbon footprint, also mentioned as reducing carbon emissions.

Is this really something that can be done without hardware changes?
Is this something that can be done with just settings on your computer or by installing certain softwares?

Any input you have will be appreciated.I'm curious about what sites you saw this on.

I want to transfer data from an specific map in an excel sheet. I know I can EXPORT it simply by hitting file>Import &AMP; export.

But when the data is exported, i can't see in excel the date of RECEIVING and sending of the emails. It's only possible to write the following data in excel:
- subject
- body
- From
- To
- CC
- BCC
- Billing information
- catergories
- Importance
- Mileage
- Sensitivity

Is there a way to also write the date data of the emails of the specific map in excel?

Thanks in advance
~MarcHello, and welcome to the forum.

I don't believe you can export date data to Excel. But, I just discovered that importing Outlook data into Microsoft Access includes date data. Again, I just learned this, so I'm not completely FAMILIAR with some details of how to control, or if you have any control over, what GETS imported.

Anyway, the procedure is to open Access, create a new/blank database, and then select File|Get External Data|Import, and select Outlook() in the Files of type box.

Once you get this data in to Access, it an easily be exported to Excel if you prefer working with Excel.

I'm working with Office 2003.

Hello, I hope I posted this in the correct forum.

In PHOTOSHOP CS3, when USING the Pencil tool, is it possible to display a preview of which pixel in the image gets marked (just LIKE in Ms Paint)? I know that you can sort of tell which pixel(s) will be affected by the cursor - which can be either a pencil icon or a cross hair (when "precise" cursor option is set).

In theory, this should be enough to make using the pencil tool easy, but in practice it's not. When pointing with a cursor to a specific pixel, being just a tiny bit off will cause the wrong pixel to be set even if zoom makes each pixel 4 or more pixels WIDE. Displaying a pixel grid can help with that, but once again, not enough. In Ms Paint, as anyone can verify, when the pencil tool is used you get to see the pixel that will be set as you move the mouse around. Then you just have to click to "confirm". This has the additional bonus of previewing what the image will look like when you set a pixel to a certain color without having to actually do it and then press Ctrl+Z to undo. In Photoshop, I can't FIGURE out how to get the same ability.

For the last 6 years, I've been using Photoshop for everything except doing pixel art, and used Ms Paint only for pixel art. I am interested to see if it's possible to switch to Photoshop only for doing everything, because I find it hard to believe that a program like Photoshop would not support the simple feature that Ms Paint supports, which to me makes all the difference of being able to design pixel art efficiently.

Since DLS Sunday my Outlook 2003 is receiving emails saying they were received 1 hour later than they were.

ie, my computer clock SAYS 1, my calendar clock in outlook says 1 (CENTRAL time with DST checked), and my AOL settings (my email is AOL though Outlook) are Central Time. (Note- I have the same problem with mail received at both my AOL and my Gmail account which both route through my Outlook. Strangely, my spam folder does not have this problem and the secondary inbox which a copy of my Gmail goes to does not have this problem - just the email that shows up in the IMAP inbox)

Though all my settings SAY 1:00 the email in the inbox list will say it was received at 2. When I click on the new MESSAGE in the inbox window / preview, the timestamp will change to the right time and the email message will move down to the correct chronological order.

It's very annoying. Anyone who might know what the problem is let me know! Or if you need more info, let me know what details you need.

Hi, please help!

Although i've SET it to do so, my laptop (Dell Vostro 1310 15 months old running Vista Home Premium & with Kaspersky for security - beyond that I am Clueless) no longer hibernates/sleeps/whatever when I leave it, unless I physically lock it, leaving it very vulnerable to any old Tom or *censored* coming ALONG & CHECKING out/copying everything on it!

What can I do? It's very worrying!

Susie

PS I didnt even know what SUBJECT to insert, so if its better called something else please let me know!

Hi,i WANT to create a windows service programme that is able to detect installed software on windows operating system and is able to send an automated email to the administraor.but i don't quite understand it even after i have done my research on windows service.
This is my first time using windows service.Hope to get response soon.Thank you.It is not quite so hard... you should just override OnStart , OnStop and create a pooling mechanism using a Timer (not a UI timer control) .

For start i recommend you to start learning from:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d56de412%28VS.80%29.aspx

And also use msdn forums .

Also sending an email is not so hard... there are already .net classes written for that.... you should check a book for MCP, EXAM 70-536 all these requirements are COVERED in that book.

As programming language i recommend you C# for this task.

Regards,
Oh..thank you so MUCH for the reply..I also know that this shouldn't be that hard it's just that this is my first time touching on windows service..hahas..With pleasure , i wish you good luck, and if you think i can help with something feel free to post again .

Regards,

Alright, so, I installed windows live messenger 2009 (version fourteen point blah). I did NOT LIKE that version, so I uninstalled it to try to rollback to 8.5, when I attempt to install 8.5 it just tells me there was a "Catastrophic Error". So, I attempted to reinstall version 14.whatever but it says its already installed. I've been over the add/remove program list a thousand times, looked over the add/remove windows components menu, even the windows UPDATES that are installed, its not there, there is nothing to do with windows live on this computer. Not in the registry, not in program files, not anywhere but the installer THINKS it is.

So, anyone got any idea's how to fix this? I use Windows Live Messenger to communicate with my friends, sp I'd really like to get this fixed soon.

Thanks for any help you can provide. Quote

Not in the registry

I am using Dos 6.22 and what my config file looks like is below and I get a message when trying to run programs in dos or under WINDOWS 3.1 that says EMM386 error #12 has halted your computer at C000:3BBD, the lines with REM are what I have found searching but have not yet tried yet. Can any one see any THING wrong? I do not currently use smartdrive.

John


DEVICE=C:\DOS\Himem.sys
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 4096
BUFFERS=17,0

LASTDRIVE = j
FCBS=4,0

Dos = UMB
Dos = HIGH
NUMLOCK=ON
DEVICE=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS/X/K/R


REM DEVICE=c:\windows\smartdrv.exe /double_buffer+

REM Add to autoexec file c:\windows\smartdrv.exe /L

REM DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=A000-EFFF

REM DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=C000-DFFF

REM DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=C800-CFFF

REM Stacks set at 16,256There's nothing wrong, however, some other device is mapped to that location (C000:3BBD). You have to keep experimenting. Why do you need the Expanded Memory Manager?As I understand when running windows even 3.11 you do not use emm386.exe, but runing dos based lotus 2.2 you get a message windows
has stoped application becuase of a protection fault. With a partioned hard drive
you can not install windows XP no more. I have come to the conclusion I need to look for a different motherboard.

Johnthe FOLLOWING is a "map" of the first 1MB of RAM:

0000-9FFF : 640K conventional
A000-BFFF : 128K Video ROM
C000-C7FF: 32K Mapped ROM
C800-D7FF: 64K High RAM
D800-DBFF: 16K Adapter RAM
DC00-EFFF : 80K High RAM
F000-FFFF : 64K ROM


the error message seems to indicate an error when memory around C000-C7FF is accessed. try changing your emm386 command in config.sys to:

Code: [Select]DEVICE=C:\windows\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=C000-DFFF NOMOVEXDBA VERBOSE HIGHSCAN

Note that it is true that windows does not use EMM386; however, it's own memory manager must be told not to use these SPECIFIC areas of memory.

Open C:\Windows\System.ini, and add the line:

Code: [Select]EMMExclude=C000-DFFF


Another thing to check would be the system CMOS setup. Try enabling or disabling "BIOS RAM shadow" options.

Hello everyone. I was wondering if there is a way to change what e-mail system a computer uses automatically? For instance, if I am on a web page and I want to CONTACT someone's e-mail address listed on the page. When I CLICK on this it automatically takes me to Outlook. I don't USE Outlook for work or anything so this doesn't help me and I end up cutting and pasting the address into what I use for e-mail. (MSN.com) Is there a way to change this so it uses that automatically or not? Thanks for any help and have a good one! I'm not LOOKING at Windows XP now so I'm speaking from MEMORY. Go to Control Panel (I'm referring to Classic view) and open Internet Options. Select the Programs tab. What are your options there for email program? If MSN is one of them, select it. Click Apply and OK.

I was wondering if there is software out there that will check your computer for SECURITY?

I mean one that will check to see if you have any holes in your computer that would make it easy for any attack.

If I install a FIrewall & Anti virus software should I be confident this is all I needed to do?

What do you suggest?1) GOOD AV software -- ALWAYS resident and always updated
2) Firewall optional. Windows has one built in and that's all I use combined with my router's NAT
3) I'd suggest scanning occasionally with MalwareBytes and/or Super Antispyware
4) I'd also suggest SpywareBlaster as a passive add-on (update it weekly)

And of course, SMART COMPUTINGThanks for that info.

In response to those I have a couple questions.

1) What is a good AV software to you? Paid and Free
2) ok, I understand that. Thats pretty much what I do too.
3) Should I consider buying these over the free versions? If so, can you EXPLAIN?
4) okQuote from: Jemrada on March 14, 2010, 09:49:13 AM

Thanks for that info.

In response to those I have a couple questions.

1) What is a good AV software to you? Paid and Free

LOTS of good ones. I use Kaspersky (not cheap). Free, I believe the best are probably Avast & Avira - but I've never used a free AV so I'm not 100% certain. I've always believed that when it comes to AV, I want the best I can get and I'm not going to worry about cost.
2) ok, I understand that. Thats pretty much what I do too.

3) Should I consider buying these over the free versions? If so, can you explain?

I don't see the need to do so, no.
4) ok

I can't really comment on memory hogging though because I've got too much RAM.

I don't think you can have too much RAM.

Is anyone aware of some type of conversion program I could use to access 16-bit or 32-bit files
using Vista OS (which I think is 64-bit.) currently, I'm not able to do anything at all with
these OLD files created when I was using XP and earlier versions of windows. Files or programs? Files don't CARE if you're running 32 or 64 bit.These are data files ( some photos and misc. calendars, CARDS, etc. ) some of the files are listed as PDA, PDC,
and PCC. the only ones I can access are the tiff files. What program was used to create these files ? ?Under Win 64-bit, you cannot to launch an old 16-bit programs.

Sure

*WerKernelReportingWerFault.exe"Part of Windows Error Reporting technology (WER) for Vista. WER captures software crash and hang data from end-users who agree to report it - (http://startup.networktechs.com/srch-*WerKernelReporting.html)

No, it does not need to run - I don't use it. It's just a module that gathers crash & hang data from users with Vista or Windows 7 who agree to report it.

Cheers again

I have Windows Movie Maker on two XP Pro machines. Some AVI files can not be imported into the Movie Maker.Tried it on two machines. My workaround is to convert the files to ANOTHER format and then edit. I don't like this.

So, what I want is a better editor than the one that comes with Windows. And if it is free, so much the better. I have been burnt out on pay-for programs that are "PROFESSIONAL" and I can not understand how they work. Must be that I am no longer "Professional" enough to use them.

So, by question is:
Where is there a good free video editor that will do AVI?[i

Please! Any ideas? { EVEN your sarcasm! }

Hi,

I got into a STRANGE trouble with keyboard....

I was connected to pc of a FRIEND using TeamViewer , on remote pc i opened Notepad 2 program i wrote there same lines and than close it.

After that keyboard gets crazy.... i pressed on keys but INSTEAD of writing windows and pop ups were opening... it was a madness.... keyboard was acting like i was pressing only shortcuts for menu options. (all of this on remote pc). And also cursor is smaller and flashing more often, this was happening in any text area.... even in Yahoo Messenger chat window (very unpleasant). Mouse was acting right.

Using only mouse i was trying to solve the issue, as i noticed and reading about this there was a problem with scrolllock (by default notepad 2 had a option selected something like On exit save settings, also i believe this was first time when Notepad 2 was used on remote pc, could this be the issue ?).

Pressing scrollock key from keyboard was unsuccessfully and running a software which enabled / DISABLED scrooll lock was unsuccessfully.

Only restarting the remote pc and then reconnected to it solved keyboard issue (also my friend from he's keyboard could not write in moments before restarting).

Now after restart the cursor is the same, i believe that this unwanted settings are still running (even if now keyboard may be used) , i want to change cursor to its default behavior and be sure that default settings are running.... i don't know how ?

Could this be done from Control Panel or resetting settings from Notepad 2 ? There is something that can be done here ?

Please help !

Hi, can anyone help with excel printing?
Problem being cannot PRINT WORKSHEET in Landscape.
Have changed print settings and printer setting to landscape but will only print in portrait.
Dont have the same problem in Word

DennisWhat version of Office are you using? What model is your printer?Office 2007 and Ive used TWO printers, Samsung ML-1610 and HP Deskjet D2500I have Office 2007 and created a test PAGE in Excel for landscape printing and it worked. Perhaps stating step by step how you're doing this would help.

I presume you first click the Office button in the upper left corner of Excel, right? And, then you point to Print? Are you going to the Preview screen to see how it looks there? Then, what?On the preview page or the view I can set the blue lines to manually move the page boundries and then use the orientation tab to set LandscapeSo, on the Preview, you have the box for Show Margins checked, right? By the way, my Preview screen shows black lines, not blue ones. So, I hope we're talking about the same lines. If you uncheck the box for Show Margins, those "blue" lines disappear, right?

Also, I do not have an "orientation tab". If I click Page Setup on the Preview screen, I have the option to select Landscape orientation on the Page tab. Can you tell me exactly where the "orientation tab" is?With you now, on the preview screen your correct, margin lines are black on will click on and off.
The orintation tab is directly under the Page Layout Tab in excelLet's define tab to mean the parts of a dialog or setup screen that can be selected by clicking on it. In the case of the Page Setup screen, four tabs (Page, Margins, Header/Footer, and Sheet) appear at top. Orientation, by this definition is not a tab but simply a section on the Page tab.

Does your Page tab look like this:

If not, how is it different?Yes my screen looks like that.
The Orientation I was refering to is on the main Excel workbook page under Layout TabQuote from: dennis101 on February 11, 2010, 10:25:37 AM

I found a YouTube VIDEO at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hufdXeTS9Zc and it has the text "totonica101" which is transparent in the middle of it. I also used the MSU logo removal for VirtualDub *BLOCKED Russian URL*/*Blocked Russian URL*/video/logo_removal/index_en.html[/url]) and it didn't work. How would I do it?You can't remove existing watermarks in a file without some SERIOUS equipment...
And the PATIENCE to work frame by frame with a video.

I'm currently RUNNING Vista SP2 on my laptop and have encountered problems opening and saving in most programs. when I try attaching files in emails and click browse, a window QUICKLY appears and CLOSES before I can do anything. I've tried switching browsers (IE, Firefox, Safari) all with the same RESULT. I've reinstalled them with no difference. In other programs, like word, Photoshop etc, I'lll go to file > open as/save as and nothing happens. The dialog box only seems to work in notepad.

I searched around a bit on here and google without much luck. Any help WOULD be really appreciated. thanks in advance.

I am using OS Vista (Home Version) on a 2008 Sony VAIO laptop. I am cataloging an extensive[/u collection of Snoopy (Peanuts) memorabilia utilizing the Microsoft "WORKS" database program. As I progress, I would like to periodically copy my data to my client's computer. Unfortunately, my client does not have the WORKS program.

I copied the data to Microsoft OFFICE EXCEL (my client CAN access this), but I am not utilizing formulas, etc. in my compilation of text and numbered data. I mostly just catalogue and frequently use the sort command. I would much prefer a database, (as I know it) in LIEU of a spreadsheet.

Is there a database program in Microsoft Office "WORD" that will take the place of WORKS database?
Is there a database that you would recommend. THANKS, BWM

Hi there,
Currently I am connecting TWO PC's (running WINDOWS 7) trough an ethernet cable. I configured there IP's so they are in the same range (192.168.0.2 on PC number one and PC number 2: 192.168.0.3), and if I do a 'ping test' in the commandline, both PC's find eachother.
Now, I hosted filezilla server. But when I type in my other pc 'ftp://192.168.0.2" or I type in 192.168.0.3 in the filezilla client, the ftp server running on my other PC can't be FOUND. I guess I am doing something wrong.
Can anybody help me how to make it work? Any help will be much appreciated
Thanks in forward

Can ANYONE help me with the following.

I have set up a survey with 18 questions. Each question has 6 option buttons for strongly agree to strongly disagree for people to make thier choice. There are macros attached to EXPAND and collapse comment boxes which is all fine.

However, whenever I click on 'next question' the button I clicked on for the previous question does not stay selected.

Have tried grouping each questions buttons together to stay selected but that didn't work; so out of the whole survey only 1 button will actually be highlighted at a TIME so I cannot see PEOPLES responses.

Can anyone tell me how I can ensure that 1 button on each question stays selected at all times?

PLACE each set of option buttons inside of a frame control.

He has uninstall and update.

My laptop, a Compaq Presario F572US, has a small button on the top edge of the touchpad which, if pressed, turns off the touchpad. Is it possible he inadvertently did that?

I purchased MS Office and installed it on my Desktop and Laptop. I understood I was licensed to use it on 3 computers. My motherboard on my desktop melted and purchased a new desktop and installed MS Office on it. That was my 3rd installation. Then my hard drive crashed on my laptop. I wanted to activate my MS Office on my new laptop but Microsoft would not allow it. If successful in activating MS Office on my laptop I would only be using Office on 2 computers, the first 2 are toast. Do I have to purchase Office again just to have it on my desktop and laptop? I have tried to get to a person at Microsoft but have been unsuccessful. I am a student and need Word 07 on my desktop and laptop desperately but do not want to spend 100 plus $$ to get it when I just upgraded from Office 03 to Office 07 last November. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Try calling M$ and explain the situation. They may or may not give you grace, depending on what side of the bed that person got up on that morning.

I suppose registry cleaners remove those "dead ends"?

But I wonder, when people have BSOD's (or whatever they call it now I don't know) and go thru a registry clean and suddenly their PC is back to life ...
