I have a user who is blind and uses a piece of 3rd party software to ‘read’ the screen out to her so she can ‘see’ what’s there. Whenever she receives a Rich Text e-mail with a file attached to it, she cannot ‘see’ it, because her software doesn’t seem to have the capability to be able to...

I’d like to set my e-mail to automatically respond to anyone who e-mails me with a specific message, but I don’t want to use the Out Of Office Assistant, because I want to have a very specific subject line. The message I want to send out is always the same, no matter who it’s send back to...

Is it possible to get Outlook (2002) to automatically add anyone who e-mails me into my local contacts list?

I have an Asrock K7S41 board running a Sempron 2300 at 333FSB with 256Mb of Matrix 2700 DDR RAM on it and a 30Gb HDD ATA133 (board has VGA/NIC/Audio on it, so no other cards installed). The machine will power up and POST quite happily, however, it won’t boot. Fails from FDD, CDROM and hard...

In the top right hand corner of a standard MSIE window, there’s a little graphic (a picture of the XP ‘flag’ fluttering) which basically tells you that it’s doing ‘something’. I’d like to change that to the logo of the organization that I work for; how is that done? I’ve had a hunt around for...

Believe it or not, but somebody leant some books on the keyboard, and now all Windows output to the screen is upside down. I cannot figure out what they’ve done. Anyone got a clue? On bootup, all the screen output is fine, right up to the point where it comes into Windows, then everything is...

Can anyone suggest a piece of software, or a script, etc, that would allow me to map a keystroke to mouse movement? What I basically want is something that, when I move my mouse to the left, effectively tells Windows that I’ve pressed a key, such as the left arrow key (if the key it registers...

Is it possible to get Outlook to change the text in all incoming e-mails to the same font, regardless of what font it was sent in? I have a user with impaired vision who cannot read some e-mails, so would like them all turned into 14 point text.

ABIT KT7A motherboard running an XP1600 chip 1Gb RAM, at least 4Gb HDD space on primary drive Windows XP, SP1 My USB ports all just suddenly stopped working; no devices connected to them actually function. One of the devices is a four-port hub, which has a light on top (to tell you it’s...

I’d like to be able to set Windows XP up to automatically log off a user after a given amount of time. Is this possible, either within Windows itself, or with some third party software (I don’t mind having to pay for it, etc, because this will save me a bunch of headaches)? I don’t want to use...

On an XP machine, I’d like to be able to give all users access to System Tools, such as Backup and DeFrag, etc. I can’t find where to do this; I’ve looked through the Local Policy settings, etc, to no avail. Anyone got any clues?

How is the default font set in Powerpoint? I’ve checked in \Tools\Options\ but can’t find it, and when I select \Format\Font\ the “Default for new objects” box is ticked, but greyed out, and if I alter the font size it changes, however, when I restart Powerpoint, it’s returned to Arial 18...

Running the latest version of Outlook on Windows XP with SP1 and a dial-up 56k modem. Dials up quite happily, but then prompts me for the passwords (it’s downloading mail from two different accounts on the same server). I have looked through the accounts settings (both from Tools\Email...

Can you tell me whether or not the restriction of filenames to 64 characters in writes to CDs, particularly with this software, can be overridden? In Configure/Preferences, checking for over length filenames can be turned off but I suspect truncation of over length names will occur.

I’ve installed Mozilla Firefox for a variety of reasons, and I’ve clicked on the option to set it as my default browser, in fact, I’ve even gone to the trouble of “uninstalling” MSIE from Control Panel/Add Remove Programs/Windows Components and if I have, for example, an icon on my desktop which...

Is there a way to configure Outlook 2002 to automatically save the e-mail address of any incoming e-mail and add it to my contacts list?

Fairly new desktop Elonex machine with internal 56k modem, running XP SP1. Machine dials up, fine, no problems, connects to ISP, icon in the system tray says it’s connected at 45.2k, all seems fine, however, Internet Explorer reports “The page cannot be displayed” when trying to browse (any...

I’m running XP Pro with SP1. Every now and again, something falls over and I’m not really too bothered about that (I’ve been using Micro$oft “Operating” Systems for far too long to think anyone has an answer to that one), however, what I want to know is regarding the little message box that...

I have XP Pro SP1 and a registered install of WinZip v8.1. When I open a folder in Windows Explorer that has WinZip files in it, Explorer shows those file in the left hand pane of the window, as if they were sub-folders within the folder. How do I stop that happening? I have a folder...

I know that this discounts most of the people who are going to read this, but I’m specifically looking for anyone in the UK who has experience of an ISP called Bulldog. I’m not going to turn this thread into an advert for them, it’s just that they’re doing some deals that look, on paper, at...
