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.

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

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.…

- 229 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
- 188 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!

If you need to update window files and correct corrupted and missing files (say running a program like Sfc.exe) windows asks you to insert program disk. However, if your disk is SP2 but your installation is updated to SP3 what shall be done? One do not want new SP3 files to be replaced by the older SP2 files or .dll.
