thanks dementg and cddog assuming the speedstep is fine .... why couldn't i install xpprosp2? in the first place, the laptop has xppro installed and the cpu speed's is 1600MHZ when i bought it. i am already running the power scheme as "laptop". it looks like i have to send it to the shop...

sorry for late reply, ben. both os are originals, and i have installed the xp sp2 to my desktop before. over the week-end i had a flash of hope but it turned out to be "high hope". the cpu's speed restored to 1.6G for one boot and it was back to 598M ever since. i vacuum-cleaned the laptop...

hi ben i thought i replied but it didn't show up. anyway this is what i said:- once the laptop is booted up, it runs fine apart from the reduced cpu speed. i run the laptop with either the battery or the ac power supply alone for several hours without problem. so, i think the power supply...

hi it's a pentium mobile and the bios is very basic but it says it is supports intel speedstep. i use pcwizard2006 to check the cpu's details. another weird thingee is i can only boot the laptop without the ac power plugged in. sometimes, i have to try booting it a few times before it gets...

sorry, i hope that i posted my question in the right forum. i meant to ask also about installing xp pro in the laptop. when i choose ACPI after F5 during setup, installation of xp pro hangs with 35 mins or 9 mins remaining stage. however, when i choose standard pc, i can complete installation...

hi gurus from print preview, the image is in color but when i print it, it comes out black and white. i have set my okic5100n to auto color but to no avail. please help. ta

mike, many thanks for reminding me about the prompt function. nevetheless, is that any way to 'clone' the help print window? ta

hi there in vfp8 help, there is a print function, and it opens a window where you can select a printer and no of copies to print etc. it is quite close to sys(1037) but it doesn't allow me to select copies to print. to overcome that, i use a spinner with controlsource=_pcopies with the...

say the combobox shows accn_id and accn_name eg 123 stationery 444 wages 463 entertainment 933 salary and i clicked 444 entertainment. how can i simultaneously capture 444 wages in another variable?

my combobox is working fine. after clicking it, i can store the respective listindex. what i want to know is the listindex preceding the selected listindex. how do i do that? the rowsource of the combobox is select accn_id, accn_name from ledger1 without grouping and its rowsourcetype is 3...

tks again for your tips, mike. yes, i quite agree that your way of handling the "." is straight-forward. i shall keep that it in mind. cheers.

mike, it works! i am now expanding your codes for weekends too. it also works if i drop +"." from line4 and put a space between &oOBj and header1.BackColor in line5. why is this possible? as i am checking the last 31 columns, i amended n=5 to 35 instead. many tks.[2thumbsup]

hi mike actually, i wanted the column(n).header1.backcolor only.
