    How Can I Use Embedded Photos in Hotmail

    Vacunita, Thanks very much - it took a little bit of head scratching at first, but your instructions worked a treat. Mind you, the photo was originally with Flickr which doesn't seem to have the comprehensive editing capability that Photobucket has. I used that in the end and it was much more...

    How Can I Use Embedded Photos in Hotmail

    Hello, I'm not sure whether this is the right forum, but my problem is that I have a flyer for an event which I want to include as an embedded item rather than an attachment to Hotmail. I've tried getting an answer via Google, but it's not very good, except one rather confusing site which...

    Canon 5200 Green & Orange lights flashing

    Thanks very much for your speedy and helpful reply. Presumably, I can order the part from Canon, but can a complete ignoramous like me replace it relatively easily? Also, have you any idea how much it costs? Regards

    Canon 5200 Green & Orange lights flashing

    Hello, Our Canon iP5200r, which we've had for over 5 years, finished printing a double sided document and immediately started to flash its green and orange lights continuously. If I switch it off, within a few seconds it switches itself on again and continues flashing. When I attempt to print a...

    MPEG4 Video from Pinnacle 9 won't Play on Sony DVD Player

    I've produced a number of MPEG4 DVD videos using Pinnacle Studio Plus version 9.4. These have been output via Pinnacle to a DVD-R disc. However, my Sony RDR-HXD710 DVD player/recorder doesn't see them or play them. Any ideas? I realise that the version of Pinnacle is very old, so I was wondering...

    Google/IE7 Keeps Asking for Office 2000 disk - why?

    Grenage, thanks for that. I hope I never see the thing again!

    Google/IE7 Keeps Asking for Office 2000 disk - why?

    Well, first in reply to Grenage, I recreated the message and inserted the Office 2000 disc, which the machine happily accepted, albeit briefly. I then exited from the website and returned to it: the message is no longer displayed. Haven't got a clue what was loaded from the 2000 disc mind you...

    Google/IE7 Keeps Asking for Office 2000 disk - why?

    Having done a simple search on Google, the web page displayed OK ,but I have just encountered (again) an irritating pop-up box asking me to insert my Office 2000 Premium disk! Why? What has Office got to do with a web site I am viewing? I only use Office 2000 for Frontpage and Office 2007 for...

    Monitor Connected to Laptop Incomplete Display

    I've had a Sony flat screen monitor successfully attached to my Sony laptop (VGN BX195VP)for a couple of years. However, today after upgrading the RAM on the laptop, I can't get the secondary monitor to display properly. I've followed the XP display 'Help' and it shows that although both are...

    How can I stop Liveupdate in Norton 360

    Mike, If you are from Norton, perhaps you can tell us all how to stop Liveupdate from running regardless of how many times we switch it off. I've done the additional actions recommended by Gadrin, but it still creeps in and kicks off. I want to control my laptop's CPU usage without others such...

    How can I stop Liveupdate in Norton 360

    I've done the usual, going into Tasks & Settings > Change Advanced Settings > then unticked "Automatic Norton Updates", but the little blighter still manages to get started. I'm using the very useful 'procexp.exe' which shows all the processes very clearly. The reason I'm disabling Liveupdate...

    Word 2000 not Responding

    tf1: I created a new dummy printer and made it the Windows default, and I disabled the text to speech setting - still no luck. fumei: All done, except 5. - the COM add ins menu; not obvious how to add this in. No change - Word still sitting like a lemon.

    Word 2000 not Responding

    tf1: Well, I deleted the registry item as well as a couple of other dead ones (old printers mainly). No joy I'm afraid - it's still stuck. Mind you, the laptop works away like the clappers, making quite a noise and the disc thrashes away like there's no tomorrow, so something's going on - it's...

    Word 2000 not Responding

    Thanks for that. I found 2 add-ins: one was a pdf.dot file, the other MSfilter.dot. I deleted them both from the STARTUP directory. Still no joy though - original Word still frozen. Perhaps we can try your idea of attacking Word Data Key, if you would be good enough to explain. Regards

    Word 2000 not Responding

    Yes, printing is fine from everything else - Excel, Notepad, internet etc. It's also fine from the safe mode version of Word.

    Word 2000 not Responding

    I'm using a wireless Canon PIXMA ip5200R and all its software is up to date, including the driver. It may be worth pointing out that my wife can use and print from her laptop via the same version of Word as my broken one. The printer is the only one and is the default Windows printer.

    Word 2000 not Responding

    The add-ins weren't in STARTUP - maybe that's the problem. It's been a month and I've managed to survive using the "emergency" version of Word. I decide to retry re-installation today. This time, I deleted everything again including registry entries and was able to re-install Office 2000 OK...

    Word 2000 not Responding

    Problem is, when I highlight the deskPDF entry, the delete button remains greyed out. I've tried un-ticking it then highlighting it - no difference. Bit odd really.

    Word 2000 not Responding

    This was suggested elsewhere so I renamed Normal.dot to Normal.old. Looking at Tools > Templates and Add-Ins in the version of Word I can access, shows two entries -deskPDF.dot and MSFilter.dot, although the delete button is greyed out. They are both ticked as being currently loaded. There don't...
