Run a check to see if there is an updated firmware. I've seen this on some Verizon units (ableit the older Westel ones), and an updated firmware usually does the trick. Just make sure to do it from a wire connection. Wireless is tricky that way. Ken "cckens is a nick... why the H-E-...

Techie131, Nope, in Outlook you're stuck with using the modified date. Actually uses the more recent of either the modified or sent date, but that is an irrelevant fact since ANYTHING you do (barring opening it, that is) to the e-mail changes its modified date. I had several users ask why some...

Simplest way I can think of is Internet Connection Sharing in Windows. On a simple LAN with no other WAN connection, the sharing PC would be the DHCP server and bridge the ethernet and WWAN connections to allow others to use the internet. But that's just off the top of my head. Ken "cckens is...

GS, Sounds like the Outlook backup utility from Microsoft itself. It backs up local PSTs to a location of your choice. The default is always the same location as the default for Outlook PSTs (why here is beyond my scope of understanding). Download should be found here...

Yeah, that can be an issue. I use the wireless mouse on the single side (left) and put the USB devices (flash drive, tablet, printer) on the double (right). Clearance then becomes a non-issue as the plugs are standard and don't crowd. Ken "cckens is a nick... why the H-E-...

Do as I did, external mouse and disable the touchpad. Saves time in the long run and you can always turn it back on if you forgot the mouse or some such. It's hot-keyed through Acer's software so it's just a 2-finger dip to toggle it. Ken "cckens is a nick... why the H-E-...

Netbooks aren't designed as number crunchers. They're more of a consumer in-between for a smartphone and laptop. I would highly recommend test-driving a netbook before you buy. I own one and I made sure that I ran the gamut of physical testing before buying. I must have spend a hour or so...

@Strongm, Very true, but he asked how to do it, not a file saving technique. @ajrimmer We have people who use that at my office. It's a neat piece of work for what it is and it does allow for specific capture. desi5pure, If you are unable to load applications due to office restrictions, you...

Crop... that's what you're looking for and it's in the picture toolbar. Ken "cckens is a nick... why the H-E- double-hockey-sticks am I using a nick for a name? Am I afraid of who I am?" -me "...don't know why, but I think of chickens when I see that nick...maybe even choking chickens???"...

Neither did I until I ran an IT department. There is bliss in ignorance, except when you are in charge. Ken "cckens is a nick... why the H-E- double-hockey-sticks am I using a nick for a name? Am I afraid of who I am?" -me "...don't know why, but I think of chickens when I see that...

Consumables are generally considered in the cost of service contracts for the larger machines. IKON provided service for our 2 HP printers (y'know, the LJ4000 series, the workhorses). They included the parts and labor time for the maintenance kits and serviced the machine periodically...

Sure, but you'd pay for the service contract on a per impression basis. We've had a copier for 6 years and we can still get a contract for service. Problem is, year after year, the price can go up based on parts costs (they get harder to find or some such bollock). In short, it is very...

OK, so now we know... * for you! For reporting back and being a good sport. As an aside, I tried printing a 2-page image and it DOES save the image with both pages. Some graphics software (such as paint, or image viewer) do not show the second page. MDI (the program) does show both pages, as...

Paublo, Check your services. Is Print Spooler started? If not, start it and try again. If it is, restart the service and try again. Grasping at straws, but this seems a resonable course of action. Ken "cckens is a nick... why the H-E- double-hockey-sticks am I using a nick for a name? Am I...

Funny, TIFs can support multiple pages. (Not meant to disparage) TIFs are image files, but were meant to be for fax usage. Multipage faxes still are usually done in TIF files before they are converted to PDF or whatever doc format is preferred. I would think that the image writer TIF would...

If Explorer.exe really did die out, then you can't really access the Start menu. If you can, then some vestige of explorer remains, and that is a good thing. My 2 cents to this thread: Remember this shortcut-> Ctrl-Shift-Esc This will bring up the Task Manager and from there you can access the...

This is normal. When the mailbox quota is reached the Exchange system bounces back the e-mail. Outlook does not just hold the e-mails as that's not its intended purpose (unless there is no connectivity). It just keep processing e-mails. Best bet, read the NDR from the bounce. It probably...

As you said, MDI are Microsoft Document Imaging files. The Image Writer is from an old installation of Office 2k3, am I right? I don't see Microsoft Document Imaging in my instance of Office2k7 so I gather they ditched the format. Doesn't make TIF any less valid, and it's more compatible...

Whodathunk? Based on the original symptoms I was sure it was the modem. Guess it shows that sometimes it's the off the wall stuff that gets ya! Ken "cckens is a nick... why the H-E- double-hockey-sticks am I using a nick for a name? Am I afraid of who I am?" -me "...don't know why, but I...

Tatchina, Did you reset the modem before each connection of the new device (computer/laptop/router)? This has to be done for each connection to the modem. If the router is connected, then each device can plug into the router without re-setting the modem, but switch devices on the MODEM...
