I have a Toshiba satellite A105 laptop. It is approximately 4 years old. I started hearing a buzzing sound from neightbohood of either bottom of screen or speakers (speakers are close)... couldn't tell. Screen flickered, then went black. I restarted the laptop and it worked okay for awhile...

Thanks... good idea to get rid of stuff I don't need.

The following software identified a large amount of software on my computer that is out-of-date, vulnerable for various reasons, and subject to being exploited by hackers. Secunia Personal Software Inspector: https://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/ Much of the software was easily...

This computer came loaded with Windows, I did not purchase it. Computer OEM did not provide any CD ($300 for eMachines computer and monitor from Wal-Mart). The checks that I ran supported posting at BleepingComputer. I also posted some of the items that were suggested above. Does anyone have...

That is handy. Thanks Skip!

Thanks for the clarification. I definitely misunderstood your comment. The feature is available, but brings up a dialogue box, not a table. And does not list addresses and values.

ok, I see Insert > Name > Paste is an option.... one of many ways to create a named range. The method I described gives a named range with it's name visible directly in the cell to the left of it. That is what I was suggesting... works great for me because of the self-documenting nature I...

Insert > Name > Paste is not an option in my excel 2000. What I described works fine... I have no idea what you are trying to simplify. Yes, you are correct - only valid for single cell named range.

That would be handy. Can you post the code.

As an engineer, a UDF that I use the most frequently is getformula: Public Function getformula(mycell As Range) As String getformula = mycell.Formula End Function This can help a lot in making a spreadsheet more self-documenting.... such that you can sometimes cut/paste a portion of the...
