I would like to make a drawing using only 2 colors, pms yellow and pms reflex blue, and a few combinations of these colors using differents 'grades' or %. A combination of 10% yellow under 5% reflex blue would give a greenish color. To simplify my question : I place a rectangle with 5% reflex...

Well I did try to re-install XP, and I now have a dual-boot system with both systems being XP Pro. I choose another folder for the new installation : \winxp (instead of \windows). No files were deleted, but it will be many hours work to reinstall the programs, recreate links etc... Is it...

This is getting even worse... I ran "SFC /ScanNow" from the TaskManager with the XP Pro installation CD inserted. Don't know If it should report any errors/action, but after the blue bar got to the right, command was back to TaskManager without any report. I tried to reboot my PC but it takes...

I copied the explorer.ex_ file from the XP installation CD and expanded it in the c:\windows\ directory (I suppose that's where it should be?). When I try to run it I still get the 'File not found' - error. As said before, I can copy, move, rename thsi file but when attempting to run it...

I'm back at the office now and here are the answers to the props: BCastner: 'Run regedit from Task Manager. Navigate to: HLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\shell' Under the Winlogon folder there are 4 other folders, named Credentials - GPExtensions - Notify -...

Thanks for the propositions. I'm at home now (it's 19:10 here in Europe) and will try both Monday morning as soon as I get in the office. I sure didn't like to abort my attempts to get the system running! If there is a problem with the registry keys, which software (freeware or buyware) to...

To Crowley16 No, explorer is not running To JohnCurtis The only action that can be taken on the desktop is CTRL-ALT-DEL to acces the Task Manager. Right Clicking does nothing. Thanks Peter

Yes, sorry. Of course it should read explorer.exe. I tried to run explorer.exe from the cmd line and it returns a 'file not found' message, although it exists. I can even rename explorer.exe to e.g. explorer.old and then rename it back to explorer.exe. When i run 'dir c:explorer.exe /s' (/s...

Try to install the Generic/Text only printer driver or download the appropriate driver from an OKI website and the printer-embedded fonts should appear in your font list e.g. COURRIER 10CPI Good luck, Peter

Who can help me with this one? Since a re-boot yesterday, my desktop has gone missing. Only the wallpaper appears and the mouse-pointer. This is the same when booting in safe-mode. Pressing CTRL-ALT-DEl gives the possibility to run applications, but when trying to run 'c:\windows\explore.exe'...

Thanks for your answer Bob. Altough I understand that 'CapsLock' only locks the ALPHA keys (and apparently the NUMERIC keys also) then why does the keyboard behave differently (normally ?) in a Windows application (e.g. Wordpad). When I have my Dos app opened in its window and the Wordpad in...

A client asked me to move his 'old' Foxpro DOS program from a W98 to a XP system. The program runs nice but there is a problem : all data is entered with CapsLock engaged, but this only works for the ALPHA and NUMERIC keys. For all other keys the SHIFT key must be pressed to get the correct...

Thanks Rick, I'll give it a try. The problem is only experienced in FPD and not in any other (windows) application nor in the XP dos 'shell'. Unfortunately I have no other DOS software to test. I checked on another XP machine running FPD and it has exactly the same problem. This excludes a...

We recently transferred an old FPD program to run on a new XP machine. Normally all data is entered with the CapsLock function engaged. Apparently only the letter and number keys are 'capitalised' but not the other keys, such as +=$*<\>?,,°-_[&. Who has a clue to resolve this problem? We use an...

Re : page length settings The correct coding is ??? chr(27)+"C"+chr(66) Good luck
