I've just taken over a laptop (Win98SE) and can't use the internet though its modem... The laptop used to participate in a domain but I've now set it to Workgroup operation. In IE setting I've removed all reference to LAN connection. In the DUN TCP/IP settings it's set to get settings...

I'm trying to sort out a WinME system which always asks to do a scandisk on startup. It may be quite justified in thinking that it ought to do one in that the machine *did* crash at one time and it's not been able/allowed to complete a scan disk since then (it's trying to do a thorough scan)...

I'm trying to create a mail merge to get labels (which is not a problem). Under various conditions I want to throw to a new page but can't find out how to do it. It's got to be either easy or impossible! What I'm after is some sort of condition like { IF { MERGFIELD code } = "P" { newpage...

This has got to be simple but I can't see the answer! I've got a csv file which I'm, opening in Excel. It's just a lot of text fields, i.e. "xxx","yyy","zzz",.... Some of the fields contain data such as "1/2" but when Excel opens this file, it knows...

This must be such a trivial question for those who know but I don't so... I'm looking to get a memory stick to use with two computers. One has USB2.0 and the other only USB1.1. If I get a USB2.0 stick will I have any problem reading it with the slower machine (other than slower transfer times)?

I am experiencing a problem, the cause of which is proving to be very tricky to locate. Perhaps someone out there will have experience of a similar thing or maybe some other ideas to put forward. I have 'upgraded' three machines, two in an identical manner with the third being similar. In...

I have a need to have a couple of scrolling text areas on a page. I know I can do this with CSS and a style such as .scroller { overflow: auto; height: 350px; width: auto; } and then apply it to a <div> tag, however I want the text box to extend to the bottom of the page and not be of a...

This little quirk has been annoying me for some time and maybe there is a way round it! If I have a table which ends at the bottom of a page (or at least so close that there isn't enough room for a normal text line following it) a new page follows the table even though there is nothing on it...

I was recently working on a Win2K machine and trying to bring its partitions down to one. It had a primary partition holding W2K and an extended partition. Using Partition Magic I merged the two partitions but got the rather familar STOP message with W2K declining to boot. I put the extra...

A friend of mine has reported a problem whereby his computer is very sluggish when scrolling a web page, I believe, using the scroll wheel. All used to be OK until about a month ago when he started experienceing this problem. Has anyone any experience of anything of this type? Is there any...

I am increasingly having problems with getting *complete* modem driver software. On a number of occasions I have been rebuilding machines which have a working modem and there is no driver CD available. Although I search and download drivers which claim to be adequate for the modem, they tend...

This is actually two problems, each different but with the same result... they machine gets disconnected from the internet. Problem 1... is a Windows 98 machine which uses Virgin as the ISP and connects via an internal 56k modem, although it has been tested with another modem with similar...

Can anyone put forward any ideas about a recent problem I had with one of my client's machines? The machine is running Win 2000 pro and has a 60Gb disk drive formatted as a single FAT32 partition. As it turns out, no antivirus software was working on the machine, nor was a firewall in...

I'm trying to get a 'front end' flash 5 app going but am having great difficulty achieving what I want. I hope that someone (or some-several) can come up with some solutions! Reducing it to its simplest, the idea is that the app runs as a projector (it's all running on the local...

I'm not sure whether this is a Corel Draw problem or a windowsXP but I suspect that it's Corel Draw not handling the XP environment. When in Corel Draw 8.0 and I'm about to print (which works OK), if I go into printer properties (from the print dialog box) I get a message along the lines of...

I'm trying to develop a small UI which is to be used to choose which facility to run. The user (effectively) clicks a button and runs an executable program. When this happens, the browser detects that I am downloading an executable file and asks if I want to save or open it. Clearly I always...

I'm developing a small app which is to be used to choose which facility to run. The user (effectively) clicks a button on the app and is taken to what has been chosen. This could be a web page on the intranet, a flash movie or an executable program. It's in running the executable program that...

I've been asked to look at a machine and it's got me very puzzled. Perhaps one of those assembled here have come across something similar. The machine is running Windows 95 but a short time ago, the normal system noises stopped happening and a series of other noises replaced them (hereafter...

Can anyone come up with any possible causes as to why a computer I'm trying to sort out keeps shutting down? It can be sitting there minding its own business and then suddenly it will shut down... just like the power's suddenly gone - except it hasn't! It can be running a program and often if...

Actually the host is XP Home but I'm having problem with the reliability of ICS. The host has been set up and connects quite happily via Broadband (BTconnect). I *did* have the other machines on the small network (1xXP Home, 2xWin2000Pro) connecting OK, although never completely solidly; they...
