    Information Stored in Windows 2000 about NIC settings

    If globally applying this to a variety of PCs, I would use a Kixtart script at login. Search the whole of the [HKLM\SYSTEM] part of the registry for a String Value (REG_SZ)named "SpeedDuplex" and replace the value with 4 if <> 4. This would change all network cards installed.

    clear picture from image box in word

    I wouldn't have guessed that one! Thanks. Whilst on the subject, when an image is loaded, is it possible to embed it within the document in its native file format and resolution so that when the document is saved as html, the images are extracted in thier original form? sophic@uboot.com

    Disable Virtual Memory

    OS 9? In control panels there is one called memory (ensure control panel is enabled). Assigning more ram to the application may improve things.

    ODBC SQL error message

    Whilst populating a text field in an oracle7 database, I get the # character inserted instead of a £. I guess this happens for any character > ascii 127. How can I prevent this when inserting and how can I replace the # for a £ when retrieving exisitng data during a query? A...
