On one Windows XP machine, all of a sudden, Outlook lost all of it's 3D attributes - all of the icons are now flat, the colors are muted and the buttons have no shading (almost as if it switched modes to something simple/lower resolution). I have made no changes - the screen resolution is the...

Diancecht, No group policy settings on the server - will have to check the machine as soon as the user lets go of it ;-) It happens to all users on that machine - including the administrator.

Smah, I do have SpyBot and AdAware on that computer but none of them are actively monitoring anything (free versions) until they're run. The option to block the opening of IE Internet Options in SPyBot is not checked and registry does not have NoBrowserOPtions value anywhere.

Internet Options in IE6 worked but after upgrade to IE7, an error message pops up saying "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer..." There is no restrictions. I've uninstalled IE7 and reinstalled it (works in IE6; doesn't work in IE7). Have Internet...

Thanks BernBoy, I sort of figured it was dead but it's nice to know, I'm not the only one with a dead surestore DLT tape drive ;-) I don't remember which version of the software we have, but after few weeks of watching the "Christmas" lights (they do sort of look Christmasy when the server sits...

Thanks guys :-) I tried the columns, Skip, but that just leaves me with one column and still doesn't rearrange the order. You're right, PGoRule, there is no room for maneuvering - it will always be left to right and then top- to bottom. Thanks for the input, guys. I had a feeling this couldn't...

When I merge an excell spreadsheet into word to create a page of labels (3 X 10), the finished document has them going across the page from left to right in order. Is there a way to make them go from top to bottom? I can rearrange the excell file to accomplish this but that's just a pain. Any...

The drive was working fine for years and then yesterday, after a restart of the server (Windows 2003), all the lights on the left side stayed on (or kept flashing if case left open). It missed yesterday's backup due to drive hardware being offline. Is the drive fried?

I always thought it was like ads on TV, all the software they include pays for the low cost of the computers (and popularizes those programs through their sheer volume). All the HP- or Compaq-specific junk is there so you can NEVER forget who made it and you'll be linked to their web site and...

Reghakr, I love you :-X You've saved my sanity! I did go to GoHip's website long time ago, but I couldn't find anything helpful in the way of removing my browser enhancement. Now I'm browsing and ther's nothing coming up, no extra windows, no ads, no c**p. You've made my month and it's no small...

I am thinking about changing the homepage in the registry; I just really don't want to mess with it if I don't have to. This, however, might be one of those times I HAVE TO 8-)I tried starting my IE from the taskbar, desktop shortcut or the Programs Menu - always starts with GoHip (not a...

Yep, that's my conclusion as well but the browser looks normal (with few exceptions like the homepage always starts from within www.gohip.com and I can't change it because it seems to be hardcoded into the browser or Windows) with the trademark IE "spinning world" logo. My StartUp...

Thank you for the info. I really like Netscape myself and I will probably install it on my HP when I get tired of the ads on IE. I even contacted the HP people about the browser customization but they don't have a clue (or at least appear to). If I could remove IE, I would but I don't even have...

I am working on HP Pavilion with customized version of IE (5.0 but I have recently upgraded to 5.5) which means I have dozens of pop-up advertisements coming at me when I try to browse which annoys the heck out of me (and makes me dream of Netscape). I don't want to disable Java Script to get...

I'm quite new to NT so I don't even know where to go in Windows NT to change a device driver for a new CDROM. Any tips?
