When typing an email message, my cursor suddenly moves to a new location on its own, sometimes even into the subject line, and my text is entered there. I am a touch typist, and find this happening. I am certain I have not taken my fingers off the A to Z keys. It is a software glitch. Does anyone have a solution? View the thread

I am having trouble with opening, closing and saving Excel files. I have tried the changes in the Registry editor that were mentioned in another post and that did not seem to help. I also deleted the files in my Temp folder as suggested in another post. The weird thing is that it is not slow all the time. The files I am trying to access are on the other computer in the office so it guess its "networked"?? I am not really sure. But like I said...sometimes I have no problem with the speed and they open, close and save at a normal speed, but most of the time it is very slow. View this thread

Hello all, long time reader first time poster. We currently have an issue with running the MOS courses on ous Terminal Servers. While doing the powerpoint training and exam prep you are asked to inset a picture and give it a fly in animation, then open the animation options and assign a sound to the animation. These sound effects dont appear to get installed during the install of office as there are no sound files to choose. looking in the program folder the media folder is not there either. i was going through some of the xml files used for install and found the following line: If i change this to 'local' the setup gives me an error and exists as soon as i open it. Ive also tried opening setup with /admin and choosing the install the feature instead of followparent but this didnt work either. Is it possible to get this installed on a terminal server? We use Citrix Xenn App 6 with Server 2008R2 VDI's using Wyse thin clients to connect to the sessions, other sound files play ok in PPT so im not sure why it wont let me install it? Also if i copy to sounds to a network share and chose other file they also work ok. Thanks for any advice you can give View this thread

Hi, I have an original Office Professional loaded on 5 PCs (including mine). I have been using it on my PC and laptop for a year. I was having issues with Outlook and the repair function did not work so I reinstalled the software using the CD. It zapped Office from my hard drive. Cannot seem to contact MS without dishing out USD200. Pls help. When I tried to activate, I got the message that I had reached the maximum no of installs (but that includes my original) Thanks and would appreciate any help. minniks View this thread

I need to add network printers to a laptop also on the network, but the person with the laptop is very busy and is constantly in meetings or using their laptop. Can I connect to their laptop without using Remote Desktop and install network printers? Is there a folder under the user's profile I can install the printers on? I'm using an XP machine and they are on a Windows 7 laptop. View the thread

Hi I have a client with an issue that I can see other related, but not exact, issues. He has installed Office Standard 2007 (retail box with key) and Outlook 2010 (retail box with product key). He has since downloaded an 'update' and since then all his Office Application (Word, Excel, PPT) are orange and 'open source' by the look. Also, when he goes to open Excel, Word or PPT he gets a pop up with Microsoft screen asking for valid product code etc., etc,. Now - he doesn't want the upgrade - he did it all by mistake - and is happy with Office Standard 2007... however I can't find how to uninstall the Office 'upgrade' update. I can see in Programs there is a program called Microsoft Office 2010 and it is only 6.3Mb, so I attempted to uninstall this thinking this must be the trigger application - however there is now an issue with his machine whereby it says it needs to finish uninstalling program before uninstalling something else... I can't actually uninstall ANYTHING! Can anyone help? He also by the way has 3 anti-virus applications on which I said wasn't a good idea (McAfee, AVG and Avast) and it won't let me remove any of those either. I have disabled the scanner on McAfee and AVG and run a scan and no virus was found - although an alert did come up previously for a Generic.23.cvq trojan - but I can't find anything on this and it has now not been found (so possibly quarantined). I have no direct access to his machine - it's all accessing remotely, so I am restricted to doing things at particular times (i.e. I can't do all the things I would sat at home with it in front of me for a couple of hours!) Any help gratefully received. View this thread

I just want to download the Windows NT Backup Restore Utility for Windows 7 so I can run my backup (.bkf) from my external hard drive as follows How to Use a BKF File BKF files are backups created using the NTBackup utility in Windows XP. These files could easily be opened on old XP computers to restore your data, but Windows 7 computers don't have any software capable of handling them. In order to open a BKF file, you'll have to download the Windows NT Backup Restore Utility for Windows 7. This utility is available from Microsoft at no charge through its Support Center. But i cant even get to stage one and run the validation tool. Nothing happens when I click on continue. Very very frustrating. I just want my old computer back :( Begin genuine Windows validation Run the validation tool. Click Continue to launch the validation tool.

I have done the forced update to my windows live essentials and now I cannot send e-mail. I can recieve but I cannot send. I spent weeks dodging the update by starting it and then cancelling it after it would start but it finally would not let me into my mail if I did not run the update, I have done the update several times with no change. I have done a system restore and that worked for a bit but again it would not even let me in without the update. It does not show up in the Windows Updates, so I cannot turn it off. I recently lost all of my past e-mails during one of the update reruns, I was going to Format my Computer to start again but after reading some other posts I have found that I am not the only one dealing with this. I have done and tried every fix I have read and none have changed anything, that is why I am trying here. It is very frustrating, my Mail worked fine, why do I have to do an update that causes problems? Does anyone have any ideas or a fix for this? Thanks. View the thread
