Aguis, Thank you for your suggestions. I think I will give Mozilla a try for a bit. I can always remove it if I don't like it, right? Also, I do have a new WinXP disk. I can do a full installation. Here's the questions... 1. If I put the disk in the drive, it opens automatically, and...

stopspyware - Per my first post, can you tell me how to get my Add-ons manager to allow the toolbar. I have downloaded Yahoo! Toolbar and love it on my other computers, but on the XP the ActiveX control says Disabled and won't allow me to Enable it. It says that this is only allowed by the...

Ed, Thanks for your response. I have a battery, but it was dead when I bought the laptop (co closed, sold us the laptops $100). I use the power cord to run it as I havn't invested in a battery yet. In the back is the little silver cmos battery. There is only one. I thought that my...

Wolluf, Okay, you seemed to be on the right track here, so I have another question. When the problem first started, I had to reset the cmos clock each time I logged on, and then things would work. Eventually, though, it stopped loading the O/S (win98). I still had to set the clock each time...

All, I have an IBM ThinkPad 600E and 770Z. Two questions... 600E - Hard drive works but is only 6.5gb. Want to upgrade to 30-40gb. Hitachi is current model, size is 2.5"/9mm. Can I use any other mfr's HDD in this size and it work? Do I need drivers or anything? Is is hard to replace the...

Sorry, all. I was distracted and hit submit before I finished with the actual issue. Here's the deal... I have an IBM ThinkPad 770Z. About 2 weeks ago, I turned it on to hear the loudest clicking and ticking going on in the area of the hard drive. On booting, the operating system would not...

All, I am having trouble with a hard drive.

Well, dilettante, I think you may be on to something. I received a box with Visual Basic 6.0 Professional edition on the front. In the box was 1 CD for VB 6.0 Pro. One CD with "msdn Library Visual Studio 6.0" om it, and one CD with "MS Service Pak 3 Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0" on it. Also...

Hello again, Everyone!! Well, I was able to find MS Visual Basic 6.0 Professional Edition on EBay (thread on 2/10) asking which to buy). Here's the deal. The book that came with the disk says that Visual FoxPro is the software application that is used for spreadsheets, forms, queries, etc...

pkailas, Not impressed huh? I figured 18 books was a good place to start without even owning the software yet... but... I never resist a challenge. I shall hit the local Book Nook asap. :^) I did have an entire dream the other night where I couldn't do anything until I spoke it in VB code...

All, I have become obsessed with programing in the VBA environment of Excel. I have completed two major projects for accounting at my job and my husband's. I have started dreaming in VB script, and now I want to run with the big dogs. I have purchased a CD tutorial and 18 books about VB, VBA...

My computer is a Sony Viao, running Win XP. I have just finished defragmenting my C: drive. While in process I realized that the computer has both a C: drive and a D: drive. The capacity on the C: drive is 16.0GB and free space is about 25%. All the programs and files I have are on the C...

Follow-Up.... I'M IN!!! I hope that this might help someone else. I was waiting for a reply and decided to fiddle with it some more myself. Here's what worked... Log on as a user without admin rights or bypass logon to arrive at desktop... Select START, RUN, lusrmgr.msc (A list of USER and...
