    Add contacts automatically to Outlook 2003

    I've been searching for a way to add contacts automatically to Outlook 2003 from an incoming e-mail. I came across http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/autoaddrecip.htm and added the first set of code to the ThisOutlookSession module. As far as I understand, if I reply to an e-mail and the...

    Using Spybot as a Limkited User

    I am the only user of a laptop with XP Pro SP2 which is fully patched. I have Spybot Search & Destroy 1.4 which I installed as a user with Admin rights. I use the computer on a "day to day" basis as a user with Limited rights and the Admin rights only when I have to for maintenance (Windows...

    Cannot boot into windows even in safe mode

    Thank you for the confirmation that I was hoping that wouldn't be given! I've seen the adaptor to connect a 2.5" drive to a 40-pin IDE cable. I think I'll get a laptop expert to replace the hard drive for me - I don't want to wreak havoc and end up damaging some vital expensive component.

    Cannot boot into windows even in safe mode

    This is a coincidence - I have a similar problem of not being able to get into Windows XP or Safe Mode. When I reboot my laptop, it doesn't recognise the C: drive but it tells me to Ctrl-Alt-Delete to reboot (the 40GB hard drive is recognised correctly in BIOS setup). I've pressed F8 and still...

    Formatting a field in a report

    LOL. Thanks for your input. It looks like we've both learned something!

    Formatting a field in a report

    Perfect - thank you. That got me out of a bit of a hole!

    Formatting a field in a report

    That's great, thank you. I see that the format can be changed to others (i.e. long date etc.), and the percentage is displayed with 2 decimal places. I've tried to get only one decimal place by ... "Percent,1") and ... "Percent",1) but neither works. I've tried googling (access 2003 + format...

    Formatting a field in a report

    I use Access 2003 and have come across a formatting problem in a report. I have fields [Country] and [Population]. I created new fields [=Sum([Population])] and [=Count([Population})] which I named SumPopulation and CountPopulation. For each country, I want to have the report print: The...

    32-bit or 64-bit processor

    So, it seems to be the width of the just the registers that determines whether a CPU is 32 or 64-bit. Thank you.

    32-bit or 64-bit processor

    Sorry to have such a mundane question - but I'm thoroughly confused! I'm doing A+ at present and we've been shown an enormous table, comparing processors from as far back as 8088 to present day. There are columns for various bus widths, voltages, nm technology etc. I asked the tutor what...

    Automatically correct NTDETECT (or other) error(s)

    Thank you for the clarification. I might just try renaming NTOSKERNL to see the response. At worst, I'd have to reinstall but, as it's an experimental setup, that doesn't matter.

    Automatically correct NTDETECT (or other) error(s)

    Thank you. NTDETECT was mentioned on the screen and I suspected that a similar indication would occur if the problem affected one of the three ERD files. However, if I was wrong, I envisaged booting and having a screenful of corrupt files listed from C:\WINNT! I appreciate that if the file(s)...

    Automatically correct NTDETECT (or other) error(s)

    I have an experimental set up with Windows 2000 Pro and am using it to learn more about the boot process and various repair options. I renamed NTDETECT.COM to NTDETECT.BAK and rebooted. As expected, it failed to boot, indicating that the problem was with NTDETECT. I managed to correct the...

    Assignment of Partition Letters

    Thank you - it looks like I have a bit of homework to do!

    Assignment of Partition Letters

    Yes thank you, I thought that would be the case. I have a three further related questions about boot.ini entries: Firstly, I understand that ARC addressing is used and, if the OS is Windows NT, 2000 or XP, the entry is something like: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft...

    Assignment of Partition Letters

    Thank you. Your explanation confirms my suspicion. I think it would be safer to install on separate partitions. That way, I could have access to Windows 98 and also the benefit of NTFS with the later OS. Whilst I'd be happy making the registry changes for the folders, it seems a lot of...

    Assignment of Partition Letters

    PS, I realise that if I want to use different filing systems (FAT32 for Windows 98 and NTFS for Windows 2K or XP), I must use separate partitions for different filing systems.

    Assignment of Partition Letters

    Yes, I've seen comments on various sites about installing Windows 98 initially then others with the oldest first. I understand now that Windows 98 would overwrite boot.ini and make the others unbootable. My original question related to installing several OS on separate partitions but I've seen...

    Assignment of Partition Letters

    Thank you. It's starting to make sense now!

    Assignment of Partition Letters

    That's brilliant vacunita, thank you. I was under the impression that the active partition (2 if I boot to Windows 2000 and 3 if I boot to Windows XP) would always be assigned C: but it appears that only partition 1 would ever be assigned C:. A supplementary thought is regarding the boot.ini...
