by Guest Nathan Webb- 2 replies

What is the switch that tells Microsoft Outlook to allow cut and pasting of email addresses? There MUST be a better way! When I copy and paste an email recipient from a name in outlook from list, I get the person's name and not their email address. Aaaaooooouuurrrrrrggggghhhh! The only way I know today to copy and paste the full email is to go to "view" "options" and then copy and paste from the "message options" header section. Geeeeeeeazus. Can Microsoft Outlook be this stuuuuuuuupid? There MUST be a better way to copy and paste Microsoft Outlook email addresses?

What deternins if you have the option to choose the domain I want to connect to? The network I'm on is a Peer to Peer, but the one I want to connect to is Domain. On the first screen the only option I have is to enter a computer name. After I press OK it asks me for a user name and password, but I still can't enter a domain... What am I missing? Thanks Kelvin

Bank deposits

Jon, OK. Deposited $6600 from van sale to your checking account. Grandmother thinks you should invest it in stocks or mutual funds or something. You can call up your broker and say "I got $6600 to invest, what do you recommend?" Grandmother gave you $100 for your allowance. I took $25 of it to pay for the replacement title, and deposited the remaining $75, also into your checking account. If you are still having malware problems, try this website. http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware Had Uncle John and Aunt Maggie and Grandmother over for dinner last night, Labor day and all that.

Infected with command service

Hi, I have Microsoft Windows XP version 2002. I also have XoftSpySE as my antispyware program. However, I was infected with a command service that XoftSpySE is unable to delete. I tried to delete it by searching the file and right click, then delete it but I keep getting an error message "Cannot delete command: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use". How can I get a rid of this file because the pop-ups are getting out of hand and this seems to be the source of the problem. Thank you.

How to disable System Beeps/Alerts?
by Guest Ste- 10 replies

Hi there, I've got a Dell Latitude D430 laptop running Windows XP SP2 and Office 2003. Every time I receive a new email in Outlook, or when a wireless network is found, or when I receive a popup window message, I am hearing a system beep or alert sound. It's not the same sound as found in Sounds, this sounds like an onboard monotone beep, and muting the sounds has no effect on this. It's getting quite annoying so I wondered if someone could tell me how to turn off this alert please? I'm getting tens of emails a day, coming across several wireless networks, and I'd like to turn these little beeps off. I can't find anything relating to this in the …

3D rendering to overlay
by Guest George Valkov- 0 replies
- 134 views
Is it possible to force a 3D rendering application to send the rendered data to video overlay? Normally a 3D application prepares a scene and the CPU sends the scene including textures to the video card (3D accelerator / GPU). The GPU renders the scene into an image and sends it back to the CPU. Finally the CPU sends the rendered image back to the video card (this time addressing the video render). the good side: rendered images are accessible to CPU the bad side: the rendered images travel to video card and back consuming a lot of bandwidth. This also results in delay, and reduced frame-rate performance. If video overlay is used, the images …

Browsing History not updating
by Guest hmmwhatyousay- 1 reply

Hi, My browsing history in IE has not been showing up since Monday. It is set to keep History for 20 days, and everything is there from the past 3 weeks, but not from this week. Also, when I click a link on a webpage the link changes colour when I go back to the page with it on, but it doesn't anymore, it's like IE is not recognising that I have visited it. I'm aware that my computer only has about 4.50GB space left - could this be causing the problem? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

When Windows XP Pro Ver 2002 is installed on a computer, do I have access on the computer to read the license that was issued with the application? or Does anyone know if I can install it on both my desktop and my laptop? If that is so, what happens when Microsoft does its checks for software and hardware? or How can I read the license off the CD without starting the install process?
