    UPS battery replacement: lead-acid to Ni-MH chances

    a) Battery charging algorithms for lead acid and NiMH are quite different, which means that these NiMH cells OR the charging circuit of your UPS may blow out in short time (even literally!). b) Capacity ratings for NiMH (or other technology) batteries do not indicate the current you can draw...

    Motherboard Test Software ???

    Test an inoperative motherboard using one of its interfaces such as USB (or parallel or serial...) which requires a sizeable portion of the same motherboard to be operative? Highly unlikely. Suppose it was available. From where would you obtain the failing part(s) and how would you replace...

    Excel 2007 known charcter issues

    You're asking too much, Skip. IS/IT Managers don't tell their secrets to everyone. He seems to have means to read between the lines -or the words, come to think of that. He only has difficulty to read the characters. Good luck, Engin

    MS Office upgrade swe->eng 2003->2007

    I think that the result will not be in english but in sweglish! This assuming that no errors are flagged during the upgrade. In my country, the price ratio of a full office vs. upgrade is approximately 3:2. If this is the same in Sweden, then you should be able to buy a full office in English...

    Maxtor 500gig external (USB) HD problem

    I know it hurts to accept that it may be fried, but let's face the reality bravely... Good luck, Engin

    Microsoft Frontpage

    You can a) Purchase another copy of the software and make a mental note not to let the disks "go" anywhere in the future, b) Provided that you are (were) the legal owner of the "long gone" original disks and you have the product key available, you can borrow (copy) a similar version and use...

    word 2002 duplicates documents

    Probably it will be easier for us to begin to understand your problem if you decide whether you're doing a "save" or a "save as"? Good luck, Engin

    Excel - Wrap Text

    Is this the standard behavior in all the workbooks, or is it specific to that workbook? Good luck, Engin

    Evaluating Windows 7

    Don't worry. MS will surely invent a novel way to screw it all before the commercial version is made available. Good luck, Engin

    Laptop Recommendations

    Having started my career as a mainframe computer technician some 35 years ago, I was one of the natural targets for similar questions after PC's became widely available to the general public, and it took me some 10 years afterwards to learn that I should NEVER recommend a computer or any...

    Word 2000. "there are too many spelling or grammatical errors...etc"

    Perhaps reinstall Word? Repair Word? And also check if your document has many words marked in another language than the language for which your spelling dictionary is set up? Good luck, Engin

    Word User manual link to Excel

    I doubt if you can find a "made to order" solution to your problem in this site just by stating your requirement. Perhaps you should charter the services of some expert. Or perhaps you should attempt to create your own solution and ask wherever you get stuck on a specific issue. Good luck, Engin

    Print Excel to PDF doesn't print all information

    Assuming that the printing and non-printing pages are all formatted in the same general manner, it looks like there are some invisible things on the non-printing sheets, such as adjustments or data in the adjoining cells. Only you have a chance of remembering what you may have done for such a...

    Hard Drive disaster!! PLEASE Help !!!

    With all due respect, nobody who resizes or rebuilds the partition of a drive which contains any **required** data, without using the proper software skillfully, should be allowed to use a "decent recovery software" without extensive training. By the way, zelandakh, if there has been no drastic...

    Hard Drive disaster!! PLEASE Help !!!

    consult one of the data recovery outfits available (google, search for "hdd data recovery", disregard data recovery programs, look for the companies). There's nothing you can do yourself. You have a chance of recovering **most** of your data, but the more you play with it, the less chance you...

    CD player can`t play older disks

    Sympology, I think you got it wrong when you read about the lifetime warranty. "Lifetime" refers to that of the CD, not your lifetime, because at the time the blank CD is purchased, the manufacturer has no means to know whether you're 9 years old, or 90!;-) Simply put, when the CD develops...

    Random Linksys Breakage

    WRT54G is not a modem, but a router. Perhaps it would save you some time if you treated it as a router only. It looks like you are not familiar with the subject. It would be very difficult to arrange a training on this site, so my advice would be that you find someone from your neighborhood who...

    killed 3 psu with 1 harddrive. WTF?????????

    If you inspect the HD controller card very closely, you will probably see some nice craters on the larger ICs. This means that they are zapped. This also means that your HD is also zapped. You may be lucky to find an exact model which has mechanical problems and not any electrical ones, and you...

    Start up problems

    I'd disconnect everything (including the add-on boards)except the motherboard and CPU fan, and then try. If it works (does not shut off), I'd start putting the devices in one by one and re-try. Good Luck, Engin
