I recently bought two 2TB internal HDDs to replace a couple of aging 500GB drives. It's hard to believe that what I'm trying to do is uncommon, but nearly all of the results I find in Google deal with trying to add the an existing non-RAIDed boot drive into a RAID without wiping the boot drive...

I have 8 GB of Mushkin DDR2 installed on a Vista Home Premium machine. Memtest86+ is returning errors by the hundreds. I've been running with 2 x 2GB sticks for several months and never had a problem - it never returned an error. When I added a second 4GB kit (also 2 x 2GB) and ran Memtest86+...

I'm trying to figure out how I, as a user, can delete emails only on the weekends. The emails are always from the same sender with the same subject, so part that is easy enough. But I really want to do this only on the weekends without having to activate a rule every Friday. PS - I hope it's OK...

I hope I'm just missing something simple after a long day, because I didn't find anything about this being a known bug.... I have a table that is imported by Excel from an Access database (Data > Import External Data > New Database Query). That data is in columns A:X. There are an additional 9...

I cannot get to google.com. Whenever I type "google.com" into either IE or FF, I am redirected to "google.es" (Google Espana). From what I can tell, none of the results are being redirected, they just tend to be in Spanish. I run Comodo Firewall Pro and avast! anitvirus with SpywareBlaster. I...

I am getting an incredibly ugly table from a company for whom we are a vendor. So I don't suppose it would be proper to call up the other company and tell them to fire the person who is sending me the offensive table.... I'm supposed validate that my company really did the work for each of...

It turns out that a department has been tracking parts-ordered on Word documents. that's a step up from paper, I suppose. Now they need to see some reporting against this data. So here's what I'm thinking: I'll put all of the word files into a single folder. I can loop through every file in...

We have recently moved to Lotus Notes. Whenever you open a file from Lotus, it saves the file in a temp folder. If you open another file with the same name without clearing out the temp folder (which is automatically done on reboot), the file opens with a random string for a name. This...

thread1256-1373011 reminded me of a game I used to play often. I don't think it would translate well on Tek-Tips, but it is quite fun out there in the 'real world' (you remember that, don't you?). Let's use the space to list any other word games that y'all play in real life. Game Play: Someone...

We are switching from GroupWise to Lotus Notes at work. I have several reports that I format and send out via macros. Everything has been working beautifully with GW, but I'm having some trouble configuring the code for Lotus Notes. I should note that I'm not really a programmer - I'm...

First a story, then a question. I consider myself to be pretty savvy when it comes to computer security (thanks in no small part to this forum). I run AVG, ZoneAlarm, SpyBot's TeaTimer, SpywareBlaster and MS Windows Defender. At least once a month, I scan with SpyBot Search and Destroy, and...

I was going to add this to one of the two earlier threads, but they are both archived. Man, time flies. On the local news last night in the intro to this story, one of the anchors said, "America is the richest country in the world. It may also be the sickest. At least compared to Great...

OK, I'll start. A Former supervisor at my company (thankfully I never reported to her) raised Jack Russell Terriers. She was discussing it with a group of us in the office. Someone asked her what the tails look like before folks lop them off. She said that the tails were often short or...

I've been thinking about starting this thread for a long time.... My company has recently gone through some pretty major layoffs. As a result, a lot of my reliable sources of stupid-things-I-overheard-at-work stories are now gone. But I have collected some pretty outstanding stupid-people...

In the vein of the Southern USA Get Together and the fabled UK Beery MeetsTM, who would be up for getting together in or around NC? We could include VA members, and even DC, SC and GA members if they don’t mind driving a bit. Let’s start off by getting a head count of who is interested and...
