    I have a spreadsheet with various worksheets in it. From these worksheets, I want to create another, based on the data in the previous worksheets. I've tried to do this using MS Query and SQL to grab the data and this works fine, except one of the columns I wish to display is a percentage...

    Hi, I have a W7 64 bit laptop running IE9. For some reason, it takes an absolute age to open and do anything with, and 'interet options', 'manage add-ons' etc. are greyed out. I've run malwarebytes which found nothing. In safe mode, everything is fine. This is a personal home laptop,so anybody...

    I have an old Dell windows XP machine that has an integrated graphics card that I am attempting to upgrade. The machine has PCI rather than PCI-e slots and so I have bought an ATI Radeon 9250 PCI card off amazon which came with an installation disk. Before installing the card, I attempted to...

    Wireless mouse/keyboard install does not hold

    Hi I've just recently replaced my wireless mouse and keyboard as I'd worn to many of the letters off the old one! The new one works fine, but does not hold the install between power downs. This means that when I turn the machine on each day, the wireless dongle is unrecognised and therefore the...

    Marquee replacement in Outlook 2007

    Hi, Many years ago somebody created an Outlook signature for me that vertically scrolled my name, telephone etc. to the bottom of my emails. I'm not an HTML coder, but it was a little HTML file that used the MARQUEE tag that I could understand what was going on. I've discovered though that...

    Wait All DB2 I/O

    Hi, We have a number of CICS DB2 programs that taking an excessive elapsed time. They are supposed to be quite high burners, but even though I have tuned them as much as possible using explain and the cost tables, they still take a long time. Examination of the log shows that the actual CPU...

    Hi all, I have a dual boot Windows 7/Vista system with two separate hard drives in the machine, one for each operating system. I originally used to use the Vista disk more, and that's where the majority of the data lives, but I now tend to boot into the Windows 7 drive more often than not...

    Hard drive won't boot

    Hi, Not sure if this is the correct forum, but I'm lost as to guess which one is. Let me describe my problem and then if nobody can help at least somebody might be able to point me to the correct place. I have a Dell Studio PC which came with a 500Gb hard drive and Windows Vista about 18 months...

    Cannot connect to internet

    Hi all, I have a Dell PC running PX Home that crashed and gave an error message on reboot that said it could not find c:\system (or something similar) and that my best bet was to repair from the xp disk. This I did (SP1) and the machine is now up and running, of a fashion. The problem is now...

    Hi all, I have an old Dell Dimension that keeps blue screening. I called someone in from a local computer shop and he installed some bit of driver finding software which solved the issue for a couple of weeks, but then it returned. Rather than call him back I decided to hive off the data and...

    Restrict number of recipients in Outlook To: and Cc:

    Hi, In my wife's office, they sometimes have to send an email outside of their company, to around 100 recipients, all of whom know nothing about each other. They use what I guess is a standard method of hiding all the email addresses, by Bcc-ing everybody and sending it to themselves. Recently...
