    Outlook - Totally lost a pst file!! Need recovery program?

    Not really Outlook I suspect, but connected all the same. Friday I ran my "spybot" and "ad-aware" routines as normal and then left my machine running all w/e to do an extensive defrag. Today everything is finished but when I start Outlook it can't find the one of my pst files, (I normally keep...

    Windows not displaying correctly in IE

    I have the following code in one of my web pages, which has been posted and (I believe) working for a couple of years. function win1() { window.open("name_of_page.html","","height=700,width=350,left=10,top=10"); } I look at the page fairly regularly to check its consistency but today I was...

    Trying to set Outlook as default email in XP Pro

    I just upgraded my laptop and now have XP pro. Along the way I also got MSoffice 2003. I want to set Outlook as the default email client but I only see outlook express in the list of possible defaults. I did the phone registration not the web registration because outlook wouldn't see the web...

    Outlook Contacts will not be address book

    I'm running Outlook 2000 in workgroup mode. I don't really need to do this becuase I don't share across a network, except that I do want to share information with my PDA. As I already said above, that's another problem right now which may be connected to the address book issue. The PDA will...

    Outlook Contacts will not be address book

    smah Thanks for taking an interest. I looked at this. I already have "personal address book" from this option and don't see "outook address book" in the list of options to load. Incidentally I tried a back door approach through "Control panel|Mail" but when I right click properties the message...

    Outlook Contacts will not be address book

    Some time ago I had some issues trying to get my PDA to sync with Outlook. (It still won't but I guess that's another issue). During the attempts to debug I reinstalled Outlook (I'm using 2000). When it booted it had a new .pst so I had to look around for the old one. Eventually I found it...

    Posting Excel page on the Web

    Thanks but I tried enabling everything I can find and still no joy. I did wonder whether I'm running out of temporary space because my hard drive is chocker (only about 150 Mb free) but it seems like a stretch. I do get a yellow triangle message which says "... may not display properly ...

    Posting Excel page on the Web

    I posted an Excel based calculation on the web. I wrote the underlying Excel routine on my Laptop and published as a web page. I edited the page and put it on the server. I can read the server version from my Desktop but not from my Laptop, which seems strange I can still read it on the...

    Importing text file into excel

    Your network or the network copy may be set to "read only" which could give an indication that someone else "may" be accessing the same file. You probably just need to check your rights with the network administrator, or suck the file down from the server anyway and save as...

    How to make GIF from Chart in Excel

    I need to create an independent net-portable graphic (GIF, PNG, JPG etc) from a chart in Excel so that I can post the chart on a web page without linking it to the rest of the page or the calculations. I've gone through all the help files I can think of. Is it possible? Please does anyone...

    HANGING!! Now no Mouse.

    Thanks for everyone's interest. It does seem as though the specific mouse is at fault. I had already done all the obvious things like running scandisk, unloading all my background apps, virus checks, defrags. I went "under the hood" and cleaned everything I could find (no fried...

    HANGING!! Now no Mouse.

    I run a Gateway Family 6 machine; 128MB RAM; Win98SE. For some weeks I've been hanging, several times a day. I tried disconnecting from my Network, defrags, AntiVirus checks, unloading all my background programs, and more, but no joy. The symptom was always a slow down in the Mouse response...

    I'm losing free space on my hard drive

    If you have been spending time on-line, it wouldn't hurt to check for ad-ware. There is a free utility called Ad-Aware from Lavasoft, which you can download from http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ or http://www.cnet.com/software/0-806181-8-7309404-1.html You'll be amazed at how much junk it finds...
