Problem with intermittant internet connection.
by Guest Frank Martin- 3 replies
- 195 views
I have WinXP pro and a Netcomm1300nb4 modem which all worked very well in the past. For the past two weeks I have been having trouble because my internet connection works intermittently; that is it works properly or not at all. I have tried many solutions, such as renewing the ISP connection, checking plugs & connections and disconnecting latest software, and doing virus sweeps. I have disconnected Zone alarm and gone back to the Windows firewall. The only clue I have discovered is in the "Windows Task Manager" in the "networking" chart window, and this shows the moving green line at 0% when my internet connection is working, but 3…

I'm using Window XP Pro version. When I bootup, my WinFax automatically boots up. I don't want it to automatically boot up and instead prefer to manually activate it when needed, which is perhaps no more than once a month. How, do I remove WinFax from the default startup list?

by Guest zuoer- 17 replies

Remember that some of these companies have contracts with Microsoft, and that means that they are paying them anyway, even if they don't install Vista... Just imagine how much they have vista, if they are paying them, but still prefer XP.. LOL Vista is so crap! http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/software/soa/Vista-is-New-Coke-/0,130061733,339290844,00.htm?feed=rss Vista is "New Coke" Mike Ricciuti , CNET News.com 25 July 2008 07:20 AM In a new study, Forrester Research uncovers some good news for Microsoft: Vista usage among US businesses is up by more than 40 percent since January. The bad news: still, less than 10 per cent of the 50,000 comp…

Windows XP, SP2 I am experiencing difficulty with Internet access which has got very slow over the last few days. Windows security alert reports Firewall is off; Windows Firewall in Control panel says 'Windows Firewall settings cannot be displayed because the associated service is not runing'; so Windows will not allow me to enable Windows Firewall even through Control Panel. I also can't access Internet Options at all through Control panel; it was saying 'system administrator has denied access'; I am the system administrator presumably. Internet Options icon has now disappeared altogether from Control panel. Network Connections folder in Control panel i…

Power Options ... On the move
by Guest Mr. D- 0 replies
- 128 views
I have several XP machines on a network (domain). Some of these machines are routinely used via Remote Desktop. I have been struggling with a couple of machines in particular where the Power Options (PO) keeps reverting back to Laptop. I have gone so far as to completely disable any power saving possibilities (including deleting the Laptop PO) and putting these machines in Presentation mode. Every time I change the settings ... these machines will work as expected for days or weeks at a time, then they revert to the Laptop PO. This may be an error in observation; however, there may be a pattern of "updates" and the reverting to the "Laptop" setting.…

directories to ignore during backup?
by Guest George Neuner- 5 replies
- 234 views
Hi all, Has anyone put together a list of what data various popular programs keep in the subdirectories of "Documents and Settings\<user>, "Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data", and "Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings" Some of those files are crucial to back up, others just inconvenient to lose. But some of those directories appear to be crammed full of cached internet files, old installation binaries, temporary program data, etc. that nobody needs. It seems like there is a whole lot of stuff in there that is useless to be backing up all the time. George -- for email reply remove "/" from address

Quick Excel VBA Question
by Guest Danger_Duck- 3 replies
- 192 views
I know this is NOT the best place to ask this, but I figure somebody must know: Does Visual Basic even have the concept of a string? I'm in Excel's table of contents "Microsoft Excel Visual Basic Reference" and I don't see string, or methods I see in online forums such as Split, RightString, LeftString etc... And is there a newsgroup for VBA questions? Thanks!

Excel sheet on Active Desktop
by Guest Carito- 0 replies
- 128 views
Hello. Hope this is the right area to post...Trying to figure this out. I created an excel sheet where I could enter in data and wanted to make it part of my active desktop. If I save it as html etc and then set it -it comes up on the desktop and works fine. BUT I cant enter any data because I didnt check off the "add interactivity" option when saving. However, if I check this (whether I publish it or not) and then save as html and set to active desktop, it doesnt work. I can enter data now into the sheet, but it only comes up as a small maybe 4x4" square box that is white with only a small portion of my sheet in it and I cannot resize the main square c…

Need to display many bitmap files
by Guest AAaron123- 5 replies

I have a set of .bmp files that represent views taken at one second intervals. I like to display them, one every one second. They are named like: file000 file001 file002... Window Picture and Fax Viewer would work if I could set the rate to one second. Can I? Or maybe MovieMaker if I could Import the files all at ones rather than one at a time. Any suggestions? Thanks
