Header section breaks
by Guest Kat Attack- 1 reply
- 134 views
I have figured out how to do a section break (Word 2007)so I can change a header on say page 5 but not on pages 1-4. However, even though I created a section break at the top of page 6 (so my changes would not affect page 6 and so forth) it changed those headers to what my page 5 header had been changed to. I did try and unlink page 6 from page 5 so it didn't say Link to previous section. I had to change my header on pg. 6 back to what it needed to be and then link the previous sections from pg 7 and on.... I need to know how to make changes on only individual headers (this is a very long document where I will need to have different revision dates in…

I've just installed Search 4.0 and it was set to index my Outlook emails but Outlook kept crashing when I close it so I decided not to have my Outlook emails indexed. I deleted the search plugin in Outlook and have de-selected it in Windows Search settings, but every time I open the search settings, Outlook is back. How can I remove it from Windows search permanently? Thanks.

by Guest Cassandra- 8 replies

Good evening! I want to buy a copy of the ORIGINAL WinXP Professional, since I need another copy of the retail edition and I've found the original version (before any service packs) very cheap. What updates will it accept through MS updates? Will I be able to slipstream the i386 folder, to have a tolerably up-to-date version of WinXP? Thanks. C.

JPEG comment software search
by Guest Peter in New Zealand- 1 reply
- 152 views
It seems that jpeg comments, captions, labels, tags, and so on, are often called different things in different programs, and there's not much standardisation between them. After working with a variety of different programs, including Microsoft Digital Image Library, Faststone, Irfanciew, Picasa, XnView, and Windows Photo Gallery, I have settled on the EXIF field usually called "JPEG comment" to add, well, comments to my pics. Faststone and Irfanview both call it the same thing and both can read and edit it, which will do for me as I am comfortable with both programs. The thing is, now I am looking for some program that can show me thumbnails with the JPEG comme…

I have read many posts about changing from Vista to XP-Pro on different Toshiba laptops, however I've tried most suggestions to no avail.

Hello, I am having an IE icon issue. Before you lambast me for posting in the incorrect forum, please note that I was unable to navigate to the IE community. I was told it was not available.

There is no checkbox in desktop properties that I can check. Please help BW

Login Problem
by Guest Bob Speck- 4 replies
- 237 views
During the boot procedure I get a message that says, "The system could not log you on. Make sure your user name and domain are correct. Then type your password again." This message appears in front of the log on to windows with my user name and password filled in. I click on OK and then get a screen showing my user name and a picture. I am told to click on my user name and then get a message saying my personal settings are being loaded. How can I avoid getting the message that says the system could not log me on. I do not want any interruptions in the boot procedure. Bob Speck
