Good grief, that did it. The display adapter driver had gone missing, somehow ... it had the little yellow warning icon beside it in Device Manager - and 'Monitors' didn't even show up in the device manager. Once I could hunt down the disc for the display adapter and reinstall it, now I could...

I feel like such an idiot. I bought a new flat-panel monitor, and I can't install the driver - in Control Panel, under Settings-Advanced-Monitor, the Monitor Type is just coming up as Default Monitor, and the Properties button is greyed out. Has anyone else come across this? (yes, this is my...

Hi there, Forgive me if this is a stupid question - I'm afraid I'm not a network admin, but our helpdesk gets bombarded with calls because of this and I've been asked to research a solution. Our AD passwords expire every 90 days (feel free to hiss in horror - we know it's not good, but it's a...

Hello, We've got a bit of a problem where we're trying to split apart portions of a string and use that portion to populate another field in a table. This is our CM software, and it contains problem types that might be along the line of 'SW-Server-SQL Server 2000-Backups-Not Working'...

Hello MeanGreen! *looks up 'jobs' in the book* *bangs head on desk* That does help a lot, bless your heart ... I had NO idea I could do that, I kept trying to figure out how I could get a stored procedure to handle it somehow. THANK YOU! I'll be trying this at work tomorrow! :-) :-) :-)

This is very much a 'newbie' question, so please forgive me in advance! I have a SQL Server 2000 database with a table that needs to be cleared daily of records that are more than 7 days old. I've been doing this manually each day by running a SQL command, but there surely must be a way to...
