I have Office 2007 and use Excel on a daily basis. This version of Excel saves to *.xlsx format by default, which is fine for me but not when I have to email a spreadsheet to someone using an older version of Excel. The problem is that every time I try to Save-As, the computer instantly...

I originally posted this problem in a different forum, and Linney suggested it would be better to post here. This is the problem I am having: http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1494275 If anyone has any suggestions (in plain english-for-idiots), I would be extremely grateful. I've...

We have had an extremely unusual problem with our office computers for many years now, and no one has been able to help us track down the problem. About half of our computers are logged in to our server, and the other half only map to server directories but the users log into their workstations...

Hoping one of you can answer a seemingly simple question for me... One of my co-workers bought a laptop from Circuit City and it came with XP Home pre-installed. CC did not give him a restore disk, but he does have an authentic Windows sticker and keycode on the back of the laptop. He now...

One of our drafters just asked me an interesting question... Is it possible to turn a workstation desktop into a print server to avoid having to route print jobs through the slow network server? If so, how? The workstations are all XP Pro service pack 2 machines, with 1 gig of memory. The...

Hi Gang! We have two new computers here in the office that we built less than a week ago. They have both been running fine since they were assembled, but today they *both* developed a very weird problem. Pressing the key combination CTRL-P no longer brings up a Print window. It does nothing...

Hi All! The man from the office next door came over today to ask about a strange computer problem he's having at home. His daughter's computer keyboard stopped responding. He says when you press a key, any key, nothing happens. If you hold the key down for several seconds it will eventually...

Hi All! I just had my C drive replaced by Dell, and now I cannot delete anything from my D drive. All other drives work fine, and I can run from D and install to D, but I cannot remove anything from D. Here is the message I get: Error Deleting File or Folder: Cannot delete (filename): the...

Hello All! Our friend Ron is having a strange problem with his computer, running XP Home. Every time he starts his browser (IE) it takes him to the following as his home page: http://runonce.msn.com/en/runonce.asp I know this is a legitimate Microsoft page, but shouldn't it, you know, run...

The drag and drop problem being discussed under a different thread was finally fixed. Not, unfortunately, by doing anything clever or actually *solved* anything... Dell told us to simply reinstall XP on top of itself - and it worked, all drag and drop functions were restored. Now here's the...

The machine is a Dell Dimension 4600 running XP Home. Suddenly, we cannot drag and drop items in Windows Explorer. There were no new programs installed, nothing unusual before this started happening. We have run updated virus scans and AdAware with no results. Cut and paste works, but not...

I am trying to reinstall W2K on a machine on which it was previously installed. I reformatted the harddrive, NTFS as it was before, and am attempting to reinstall W2K. Everytime it gets to the Components - specifically the Distributed Translation Coordinator, it reboots the machine and...

I'm new to XP, so please forgive me if this question seems silly. I've heard many complaints about XP - but always in the form of "XP Home sucks - you should get Pro". My husband and I just purchased two new Dell Dimension 4600s (P4 2.4ghz, 512 RAM), and they came with XP Home...

Hi All! I feel like a real idiot with this one, but one day last week my email program (Rebecca/Becky - which i've never had a moment of trouble with) stopped accepting email attachments in the usual way. Instead of the attachment coming in as "file.bmp" or "program.exe&quot...

I am using Word 2000 SP3, on a W2K machine. I have several documents that are about 50% hidden text/comments. I would like to copy the *visible* text only to a new document... but whenever I select ALL and copy and paste, the hidden text is imported into my new document. Is there a way to get...

For two years now, my Outlook has been running without a hitch. I used to be able to enter a contact phone number by simply typing the number (ex: 3339999) and when I hit enter, Outlook would automatically reformat the number entered to read: (702) 333-9999 - now, when I enter a phone number in...

Hi All! Well, I've got a new problem at home. My husband's computer was running fine last night - no new software or hardware installed, anti-virus up to date, AdAware run regularly. The system locked up while he was using Digital Orchestrator (not uncommon) so he had to reboot. Now the...

Greetings! Is there any way to find out exactly what the programs are which are shown in Task Manager under the Processes tab? Some of them are obvious, IExplore.exe for instance... but how do I find out what all the others are? I'm certain there are unnecesary items running in there, but I...

When running the weekly virus scan on my bosses computer, it found the virus AntiCMOS.A. I followed the software directions for cleaning the virus, but it didn't work. I then went online and found various directions for removing the virus, but they all included making a "boot disk&quot...

Sorry if this is the wrong forum... My husband has W98, *not* SE, on his computer. He has been using a Pinnacle video capture card and the Studio 7 software successfully for over a year now. A couple of days ago, he got Studio 8 and tried to install it on his computer. It didn't work and he...
