Hi, - I couldn't see a MS NT4.0 Workstation forum, so I'm trying my luck here. I am setting a password protected screen saver, and it kicks in once correctly. After unlocking the workstation after the first screen saver occurrence, it never hits the screen saver again. When I look in the...

Does the BIOS detect the correct sized hard drive? If it doesn't you may need to update your BIOS versions. Try going to the motherboard manufacturer website and downloading the latest firmware. You will need your floppy drive working though!

Thanks to you both. I had previously tried both available PCI slots and know that they worked, because I intstalled a non-wireless NIC. The Belkin software was also installed / uninstalled. If it was this, it probably wouldn;t hang at the BIOS screen? It would get a bit further? I found the...

Hey, Thanks for the input. This is now solved. I can't explain why it opened in XP and crashed in 2000, but I opened in XP and performed a "save as" gave it a new file name and saved it in the original location. My problem on the Office 2000 machine, was that even though Excel the...

Thanks for the info, The file is saved in Excel "Microsoft Excel Workbook" format. I am under the impression, thsi should work across the Office versions (even in 97) However, I have also created a copy and this is saved in "Microsoft Excel 97 - 2000" format and the same...

Hey all, We have a user who cannot open an Excel 2000 document on his PC. have tried different PC's and the same occurs. Except on an Excel 2002 (XP) machine, where the document loads fine and without error. The document was orginally made in 2000 (i'm guessing someone has opened it in XP...

Hi thanks for the reply and sorry for the slow response. Found the error. On some PC's the registry key (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\OFFICE\10.0\OUTLOOK\SECURITY) The level1Remove entry had a whole list of extension types listed. The extensions listed were not able to open directly...

Hey all. We have rolled out Office XP on our Windows 2000 pro client PC's. However, on some PC's (regardless if we are signed on as administrator or not), when you double click an e-mail attachement, it will not open. You only get the option to save to disk. However, on other PC's (same...
