Controlled "SIGN IN" with constant SCREENNAME
by Guest F. Lawrence Kulchar- 19 replies
- 587 views
I, of course, sign in to a huge variety of websites on an everyday basis. I have been fortunate enough to have utilized the SAME screenname for each and every one of them. IS IT POSSIBLE TO, SOMEHOW, CREATE A "LOCK", i.e. a copied screenname, and then, sign in USING, for example, "CTRL V" -- thereby pasting the screenname onto the webpage?????????? This SCREENNAME would of course exist throughout the day...and NOT vary from day to day!!!!! Thank you, FLKulchar

WindowsXP/HE SP3, OfficeXP/Pro SP3 Hallo NG! I download automaticaly all official updates from MS. But now there is a small problem. I became downloaded the security updates for the Viewers KB 934041, KB943992, KB943889 and Office 2003 KB929064. Following the express-installation i got informed that these 4 updates couldn't be installed (no reason given). Checking the box "Don't show this updates again" (or similar, from german) doesn't help. They are continously shown again as ready for download/installation. What can I do? Installed are: Excel Viewer 2003 (11.6412.6505) SP1 Word Viewer 2003 (11.6506.6505) SP1 Vy 73! Helge -- Helge, DJ1WM

Is it possible to partition SD Card?
by Guest giddyup- 8 replies
- 369 views
I have a Magellan GPS and broke a 128k SD flash card, I purchase a 1gb flash card and the GPS refuses to recognize it. The card works with other card reader devices. I was wondering if the GPS possibly has a limit with the size of card. Because my transflash in my cell phone does work - it is a 128k card. This is why I would like to partition the card so that the 1st partition can maybe be read by GPS. I can not find a flash card that small anymore in stores. Thanks

I'm attempting to reinstall XP on a Dell desktop computer with the Dell oem reinstallation CD but when I try to boot from the CD i get a blinking "_" followed by a normal start up of the system. I have changed the load priorities in the BIOS menu to no avail. I also created the 6 XP SP1 diskettes but when I try to run from the diskette the same thing occurs. According to Dell I should be able to simply run the CD at start up but something is stopping the pc from accessing the CD files. I know the CD and floppy drive are working because I'm able to use them both when I'm logged in to XP and can read the Dell CD when I'm on the desktop. Does anyone know…
