Not sure the best way to explain this. Consider a row of numbers: 100 200 500 300 400 Now, in another cell I type the value "1000". I want a formula that will subtract the first row of numbers, one-by-one from 1000 until the result is less than 0. In this case, the answer would be...

I have a computer where the explorer window is blank. If I open "My Computer" the window is blank but it does show the number of files at the bottom. If I click the folders button it lists the folders and files on the left-hand side but not the right-side window. I've checked for viruses and...

I'm using a Toshiba Satellite M40 laptop computer. For some reason, whenever I reboot it, the keyboard repeat rate drops to its default value. I like the repeat rate at the highest setting. The BIOS has very basic options and the keyboard rate is NOT one of them. So.... I want a tiny utility...

I went to the Windows Update website and saw that there was a new driver for my video card. So, I installed it. But, as a result of the upgrade, my desktop fonts and icons changed. I've tried changing my Desktop Scheme to Windows Standard (Win2000) but it's not working properly. This has...

Anyone tried putting their OS on a flash drive and booting from it? I'd be interested in knowing if boot times are faster and any problems with doing this...

Is it possible to build a computer system that has the OS loaded onto a chip for an "instant" boot time? I'm thinking of building a system (as a hobby) that could boot from some sort of RAM chip. Anybody know how this could be attempted?

I'm using Win2K however I need to reinstall WinME on a computer at work tommorrow. They don't have high-speed at work so I'm trying to download the service packs and security patches for WinME from home on my high-speed connection. I'm having an awful time finding these updates! Everytime I try...

When right-clicking a link or graphic I have the option to "Save Target As". However, what would I need to type in the Address bar at the top of IE in order to download a link or graphic instead of it being displayed in the browser? For example, if I type www.tek-tips.com in the address bar...

I am using the SHELL command to launch an Internet Explorer window. How to I then issue a command to CLOSE that window? If I'm not being clear, here's what I am doing: User pushes a button on a form. A webpage opens up and some data is downloaded from a website. I then need the webpage to...

After updating a driver or installing some software, you will frequently get a message about whether you want the computer to restart. If I click YES, the computer goes to the desktop but does not restart! Everything works perfectly fine, except for this bug. Is there a registry setting or...

Ok, have a small problem here. My father's computer had an AT-style mobo and power switch. The case allows for both AT and ATX mobos so I successfully installed a micro-ATX mobo into the case. Unfortunately, I forgot to buy a new power supply. Anyway, my problem is, the power switch is...

I received, again, an email with a blank "Who" and a blank "Subject". The body of the email was also blank. Here is what I get when I push the BlahBlahBlah button: Return-Path: <jopbbknv@insurer.com> Received: from c-24-15-206-94.client.comcast.net ([24.15.206.94]) by...

I use ADSL and my ISP (Sympatico) provides some software (Access Manager) to handle the connection process (PPPoE). I'm curious how this software works. I've noticed that it appears to put a "virtual" NIC on my system. The actual NIC has a 169.x.x.x address and the "virtual: NIC gets the IP...

I accidentally turned off the option for Eudora (version 5)to warn me when I try to shut it down while it is sending or receiving mail. How do I turn this back on?

I've put this question in another forum but received no answers. I'm preparing to write the Security+ exam and I want no stone left un-understood: What is the difference between WEP and WTLS? Don't they both act as encryption algorithms to protect wireless data? My muddled mind thinks that...

My father uses Win98SE. He likes to play some games from www.popcap.com for amusement but the games are no longer working. He thinks it stopped working after applying a Windows update. When he tries to load a game, he gets a white box with the little placeholder logo (the one with the box...

Hmm, something strange just happened. Eudora told me I had a new email message. When I looked in the InBox, the new message had a blank where the sender address would be. I opened the email and the ONLY text was the current date. If this were spam it's a very odd piece of spam that says...

My father uses Win98 and has the latest version of IE6 installed on his system. He likes to play some of the games at www.popcap.com but they all run using Java. They used to work, but now, instead of the game he gets the dreaded white box with the little icon in the corner with the coloured...
