Microsoft Excel Opening Problem
by Guest Alan- 3 replies
- 252 views
Hi I'm using MS Office 2000 with XP professional SP2. Lately when opening Excel (fresh or existing xls file), it just kept opening, non-stop, from sheet 1 and going on until I press Esc key. However, after pressing the Esc key to stop the automatic opening of the unwanted sheets, the program functions normally. When closing Excel, I have to close all the unwanted opened-sheets first before the program can exit. Any help to retify this problem is much appreciated. Alan

Pagefile.sys, moving
by Guest William Oertell- 1 reply
- 230 views
Does anyone know of any method of getting pagefile.sys to the front of the drive? The only defragmenter I know of that can move specified files to the front of a disk is Norton's SpeedDisk, but to get that you've got to purchase the rest of Norton's Utilities, which I don't need or want. I don't even want Norton Utilities installed on my hard drive. I've tried PerfectDisk, DiskKeeper, and Vopt, but none of those allow one to place pagefile.sys at the front of the drive, except for PerfectDisk, which claims that it will order files in the same order they appear in layout.ini. I tried putting C:\pagefile.sys as the first entry in layout.ini, but that had…

I am temporarily residing in a hotel suite fully equipped with high speed access thru the use of my ethernet adapter. My operating system is WinXP. Unfortunately when trying to connect Internet Explorer, there is a DNS ERROR message and something to the effect that a connection could not be found. I am an intermediate computer novice and have done everthing possible to correct the problem. I even contacted the hotel service agent but they seem to believe the problem is caused by my AOL. They checked the cables, outlets, plugins, etc...and simply said.....get rid of the AOL software. Well....I completely deleted the program but stil faced with connect…

Trying to Install a Java Application
by Guest Mars- 3 replies

For some reason I am unable to install a Java application in Windows XP pro. http://www.soi.city.ac.uk/~jwo/landserf/ is the application I wish to run. Every time I try to install this application, windows tells me it is unable to recognize this file and and can't even figure out what a .jar file installer is. I am sure I have installed java applications before in windows, infact I have this very application installed on a different Windows XP Pro computer. I have tried several different downloads, and the downloaded file is not corrupt. What else do I need to install in Windows so I can install java applications? I have all the latest XP update…

Aloha all. I have a Card Reader in my computer. It reads 9 different types of memory cards. I use SD, 1GB cards. When I put them in they are read fine, but whenever I try to write to the card I am told the card is write protected. It is not. I have the tab in the correct position...have tried in both ways. Nothing I can do to get the system to see the card as unprotected. What can I do? Thanks!

How do u get Autocomplete in IE 7 to work
by Guest Paul- 3 replies
- 231 views
Hi all, since there's no IE 7 NG, I'll post here. As above, how do you get Autocomplete to work! All the options are ticked under Autocomplete option, but the stupid thing doesnt ask if I want to save any passwords. It never has. I've checked Google/Yahoo, but I cant see anything on how to fix it for IE 7. I did find something about going here. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms\Storage2 But that doesnt help, since the Storage2 key isnt on here. Or was IE 7 made, not to save passwords, or something?? Because its doing a good job of it! Any info appreciated Thanx

copying files, ignoring all the ones that already exist
by Guest yawnmoth- 4 replies
- 232 views
If I'm copying a large directory and have to stop midway through, restarting is kinda a pain. I can either overwrite everything or I can manually click 'No - do not overwrite' for each and every item. Maybe there's a command line option that'd make this easier?
