Hello I started using Office 2010 on my new Win 7 PC recently. I have a very simple question. When I call Help in Excel, the Help window always appears and stays on top. Of course it covers a good part of the page I'm working on, and the only way to get rid of it is by closing or minimizing...

I have a Win XP Home SP3 system. Starting yesterday (I've had the PC for over 4 years) every time I turn the PC on, I get a warning "Administrator has prohibited access to CD/DVD ROM drives." Also, if I try an external USB drive, I get the same sort of warning about the USB drives. I'm the...

I have a WIN XP SP3 with a 2.6 GHz Pentium 4, with Intel BIOS and motherboard. The system is about five and a half years old, and it works pretty well. (It's a generic make.) But lately, I've had a problem turning it on. It used to be that I just had to press the ON button, and the thing...

I am running WIN XP SP3, For the past 3 days (since January 1) I have been having big problems getting into all kinds of Google sites, including Gmail. Normally I would post this problem on a Google forum, but I can't get into their sites for posting, so I'm posting it here, The problem was...

I use Excel 2000 on WINXP SP3. I have a whole bunch of Excel files in subdirectories of a directory I call D:\ExcelData. These contain Excel files with cells that have links to files in this directory, but not necessarily to the same subdirectory, so that the cell formula might look something...

I bought a new 4 GB USB flash memory a few days ago. After I had loaded it with about 2 GB of valuable files, it stopped working. If I insert it now, I get a message "Please insert disk into Drive G", but of course it's already inserted. I just can't get to the files anymore. I'm sure it's the...

Lately, I have a problem trying to send e-mail attachments. If I send an a plain e-mail message there is no problem. But if I have an attached file (so far I've tried .jpg or .gif, and they're about 200 kB) it very often it won't send. I've tried this using both my ISP with Thunderbird, and...

The wireless link in my home network has been working well for about 3 years, until last week. But now I have a strange problem. I have an Edimax Broadband router. My PC is connected to it directly by network cable, and my wife's laptop is connected by WiFi to the router. The transmission is...

How do I make the folders in the "Save as" dialog box appear alphabetically when it pops up? Right now they seem to be in chronological order of their creation, when the dialog box first pops up. This is true, at least in my PC, when pressing "Save as" in any application except MS Office. And...

Something I've never really been able to determine: I have my power options on XP set so that the monitor goes off after 10 minutes, and hard disk is turned off and the system goes into standby after 30 minutes. If I run an application that takes longer than 30 minutes, such as anti virus scan...

On WinXP SP2, I have an external hard disk, which I use for backup. When disconnecting the hard disk, I want to do the proper thing, and I click on the icon in the system tray that says "Safely Remove Hardware". Usually what happens after I go through the process of stopping the devices, I get...

I'm trying to do something that I thought would be simple (using Win XP SP2). but apparently isn't. I have a number of DVD disks (home video, not commercial) that I want to back up on my external hard disk. I use Nero for burning DVD's, and I can use it for making an image of the DVD disk on...

I just purchased a 320 GB portable external hard drive with a USB2 connection. I connected it to a USB port on the front of my PC (I have a Pentium 4 with WinXP SP2, and all my USB ports are supposed to be USB2). It didn't work. Windows went wild, refusing to copy files, showing the external...

Just got a new Lenovo N100 Vista Home Premium laptop. Right now my router works directly with my desktop PC and by wireless with another laptop (XP Home) that I have. The router is set up with encryption disabled, but with MAC address access control. So I went to "getmac" in the DOS prompt on...

I want to place page breaks (both vertical and horizontal) using VBA in a worksheet that I have, according to groups of data in the sheet. I think I know how to do this, but it seems to me that the automatic page breaks that Excel inserts (or at least some of them) remain on the sheet. How do...

I want to sum a column of numbers in an Excel spreadsheet using VBA. Is there a way of doing it in a macro without using a For...Next loop. Like writing Range("A1.A10") and adding some operator? Or is there a way of accessing the Excel SUM function in VBA and using that?

I am trying to get the sumproduct of a certain type of cells. I have the following cellS: Column: A B C Row 3 10 8 D 4 20 7 B 5 30 6 S 6 40 5 D 7 50 4 B 8 60 3 S 9 70 2 D 10 80...

All of a sudden IE7 doesn't work. I don't use IE much, so when there is a web page that works only in IE, I use the IE Tab extension in Firefox. But I noticed that when I switched to IE Tab, I saw a blank IE page. So I turned on IE7 directly, and I get the same thing. IE opens up, and the...

I am using Office 2000. I have an Excel workbook with a custom menu (using the "CreateMenu" macro I found in: http://j-walk.com/ss/excel/tips/tip53.htm This has worked well for about a year, and survived one or two changes I made in the MenuSheet referred to in the above link, which resulted in...

I use Windows Explorer to navigate on my PC (WinXP SP2). Similarly, I have lists of bookmarks to navigate around the web. This means two separate lists for navigation. Is there any way to place links into Windows Explorer, so that I would have just one list, with both files and links...
