    Thanks for the input! I set up a new administrator account but when I tried to add a password I got a message saying, 'cannot change password'. Strange for a new account?! Mike

    Need to log in as administrator - I have administrator rights

    I have a program that I cannot install because it says that I am not the administrator. I have administrator rights but that doesn't seem enough for the program! I only have one account on the computer and it is set to auto-login and I don't believe that it has a password. I can get to the...

    mapi problem ?

    OE and I don't have Outlook installed. I just checked Adobe and that works when I click on the send mail tab. I have a capture program called Snag-It installed and the button is grayed out. Be crazy if I have to install Outlook (I have it on the CD) just to get the mail tabs to work ...

    hyper links in doc printed from internet don't work

    thanks for your reply .. "When you're in Acrobat, you're not using a browser so internet links will not work. Even in my text editor links are 'active' so it's a bit disappointing if they aren't in Acrobat. 'If you're grabbing a pdf that's on the web, or want to grab more of a site, go to...

    usb VPN to ISP - W2k and XP to access web ?

    I have since moved (not because of the connection problem :-) and all is well at my new locatation, but thanks for your follow up. I never did solve the problem.

    xp network cards not functioning ?

    Just going out of the door for a couple of hours but will check for driver updates when I come back. I don't think that it's an address problem as his computer can't log on to the ISP even when connected directly to the modem. thanks, Mike

    hard disk churning and I don't know why ?

    thanks for the responses ! 3 days ago I went to start/settings/control panel/add and remove programs/add remove windows components/ and unchecked (removed) the indexing service and this seems to have solved my problem. I did previously check if anything was scheduled or running and nothing...

    hard disk churning and I don't know why ?

    I think that it's the virtual memory caching although this seems like a long time to me, but then this is not an area that I know much about. Is there somewhere that I can change the scheduling of this (or stop it at a particular time ?) thanks for the help. Mike

    thanks Rob, You were right and the images were wmf format which were twenty times bigger than the resulting jpgs !! Obviously not a very expedient way to send attachments :-( I did try inserting jpgs back into the document but Word converted them back into WMF format again. I had thought...
