From time to time some of my recipients (and only some) notify me that they get everything I am sending twice. Other recipients only get a single copy. The emails always arrive within a minute of each other and they are always exact copies. I am using Outlook 2003 and have server timeout set...

I have a situation that is driving my wife nuts. When she is playing a game on Yahoo Games from time to time (No pattern) IE7 will close without notice. It just seems to be on Yahoo Games. She has not noticed it when anywhere else (mind you she is rarely anywhere else). The machine is running...

A friend from Germany would like to send me DVD. Can my PC's DVD reader/burner play it without changing any settings? Does she have to do anything special in burning it? She also asked in which format it is the best to burn them. Any help appreciated TIA

I monitor bookings and use for 17 local sports fields to plan maintenance schedules but to date have only done so using paper and pencil. I have minimal experience with Excel and hope that there might be a relatively easy spreadsheet solution to my situation. I need to monitor bookings as well...

I have an IBM T40 notebook who's modem is a victim of lightning (I believe). It will work on occasion but more often than not will not detect the dial tone. In any event, when I simply plug the phone line in to the computer it seizes the phone line without me trying to connect and will not...

Are "Wake on LAN" and "Wake on Ring" the same thing? I really cannot find any clear explanations anywhere other than various posts (in other forums) that seem to go in circles. I have a dial up customer who claims that an incoming call on her phone line turns the computer on. She claims that it...

I did a Fujitsu drive test on a Fujitsu HDD and all was OK however when I install it into the tower I cannot open it. Windows Explorer sees it, I can see it in the BIOS but cannot access it. Clicking on it renders Windows Explorer as not responding and I have to end task. Any thoughts? Thanks

I have a user that checked the box "compress drive to save disk space" of her C drive. Even with all startup items disabled the unit is painfully slow to boot. I suspect that the compression option is the culpret and I want to uncheck it to see if this is the case. Question is, if I uncheck the...

I am trying to reinstall XP on an A-Open box and get to the blue screen, "Welcome to Windows Setup" after all of the installation files have been copied. At this point I loose the keyboard and can go no further. Any suggestions?

IE7 is shrinking a web page to fit a single page in my Canon IP3000 printer which renders the font to a miniscule size which is very difficult to read. Asking Canon for help has not reveled any settings that would prevent this in teh printer properties. They tell me to adjust the browser...

I have a standalone unit that was working fine yesterday but when turned on this morning I get the W2K logon window. I have never had to log in before, as I just set it to boot into the user. It's not part of a domain. It is now asking for a UN and PW which I never set up when I installed W2K...

Is there a way to set the size for the "Open" window? I have several icons in the My Places column and it is a pain to have to scroll down to find the one I want or resize the window each time. If I was able to set the size of the window (registry entry maybe?) when I hit "Ctrl O" it would be a...

On this particular machine if I log into a website then log out, I cannot log back in unless I restart the computer. Happens in IE7 and Firefox. With another computer I have no problems. I have reset internet options to default settings but it doesn't provide any releif. I just had a client...

I hope I am clear with this explanation. I have a client on an IBM P3 Windows 2000Pro fully updaed and scanned. She works from home for a real estate firm entering and updating listings on their website. She logs in to the server and makes the changes to the website then clicks "Update"...

On my Thinkpad the Fn F5 combination opens wireless location profiles and when I click on Find Wireless Networks the window closes and the network in this location is not found (although there is no indication of any attempt to find it). Open Access Connections also closes the window without...
