    I have a Toshiba satellite A105 laptop. It is approximately 4 years old. I started hearing a buzzing sound from neightbohood of either bottom of screen or speakers (speakers are close)... couldn't tell. Screen flickered, then went black. I restarted the laptop and it worked okay for awhile...

    This computer came loaded with Windows, I did not purchase it. Computer OEM did not provide any CD ($300 for eMachines computer and monitor from Wal-Mart). The checks that I ran supported posting at BleepingComputer. I also posted some of the items that were suggested above. Does anyone have...

    ComboFix log

    After completion of ComboFix, most symptoms are gone. Two anomalies remain: 1 - Mozilla Firefox does nothing when double-clicked to launch. Internet Explorer works fine. 2 – Upon startup I get a systray icon labeled “blocked startup programs”. When I right-click and select “show blocked...

    By the way - thanks Satrow also. I have stumbled onto a similar site bleepingcomputer. The only problem is that it seems that people have to wait a long time for response there.

    My computer is Windows Vista machine. It was taken over by a fake anti-virus called Vista Security or something like that. All attempts at removal were unsuccessful, so I ran combofix. I actually I ran ComboFix twice and both logs are posted below. The first time I ran ComboFix, at certain...

    Most useful UDFs

    Thanks for the clarification. I definitely misunderstood your comment. The feature is available, but brings up a dialogue box, not a table. And does not list addresses and values.

    Most useful UDFs

    ok, I see Insert > Name > Paste is an option.... one of many ways to create a named range. The method I described gives a named range with it's name visible directly in the cell to the left of it. That is what I was suggesting... works great for me because of the self-documenting nature I...

    Most useful UDFs

    Insert > Name > Paste is not an option in my excel 2000. What I described works fine... I have no idea what you are trying to simplify. Yes, you are correct - only valid for single cell named range.

    Most useful UDFs

    As an engineer, a UDF that I use the most frequently is getformula: Public Function getformula(mycell As Range) As String getformula = mycell.Formula End Function This can help a lot in making a spreadsheet more self-documenting.... such that you can sometimes cut/paste a portion of the...

    Recovering files to flash drive in DOS

    GENERAL BACKGROUND (not required to define my problem) The fake a/v software (Vista Total Security or many other names) has invaded my computer 3 times, each time coming back a little stronger with more and more tentacles. It not only hijacks your browser, and every program, also commandeers...

    IE8 - open FTP site in windows explorer doesn't allow drag/drop

    Thanks for response. This was very frustrating for me.... can't do something I could do easily 6 or 7 years ago because some hidden setting or something has changed. I googled and found several people had problems with XP accessing FTP from internet explorer... but their problems were all an...

    No response? Am I in the wrong forum? Wrong site? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
