Thanks for your input - I am certainly not the sharpest crayon in the box, but was hoping that my limited experience might help Debbie25. One of the great things about the IT field is that we are continually learning...I just did. Bob W "If the only tool...

goombawaho, What is your reasoning? I have used this utility to repair a drive that reported a fraction of it's drive size - you may be right, but I would like to know why you posted this warning. Bob W "If the only tool you have is a hammer, you...

MicJ, You could try using "sfc/scannow" (no quotes) from a command prompt (what we used to call a dos window). Have your original installation disk handy because when the process finds a changed file it will ask for it. I usually put the disk in before running the sfc command...

max8699, One of the people I work with happened to come across this site that will accept many used/non-working lamps at no fee www.relampit.com where they refit the bulbs. Disposal cost is always a concern, so I'm sure this will help! Bob W "If the only...

mayamanako, This procedure is complete with pictures at http://www.overclock.net/faqs/96712-how-jump-start-power-supply-psu.html which is a great site to add to your collection. Bob W "If the only tool you have is a hammer, you will see every problem as a nail."...

mayamanako, A basic test of the psu can be done by removing the plug that attaches from the psu to the mainboard (20-24 pin) and jump the only green wire with any of the black wires with a paper clip. When you then power the psu you should hear it run. I have never touched the paper clip at...

mp9, I have had some sucess by changing the HD controller to recover data when a disk problem causes the orginal to toast a chip - that may be where the HD password is stored(my guess). You might be able to change the controller with an identical one an give that a go. Long shot, but worth a...

Another tidbit - a pc protected with disk encryption (pointsec, at least) will not boot with a usb device plugged in. Bob W "If the only tool you have is a hammer, you will see every problem as a nail." - Abraham Maslow

mp9, I have done this using Serial ATA and IDE HD to USB adapter and it works well. The 2.5" drives don't need additional power, but when using a 3.5" drive using the included ps adapter all works normally - I usually make the drive master if there is a jumper to make it so. When I use this...

F510YesYes, Sounds like a problem in the file itself. Is this something you created? If so, were there any errors messages in Excel when it was created? Have any other Excel files displayed this behavior? Bob W "If the only tool you have is a hammer, you will...

hotkeys, I had a similar problem with an external usb hard drive. I used the drive for several hours and shut the pc down for the night. When attempting to continue the next day the same pc gave me a message that the drive was not recognized. I solved the problem by removing the drive from...

OutGolfing, If there is power available some companies offer repeater - range extender type devices. Also, with 802.11n soon to be (?) ratified you may simply need to upgrade to that technology - if it's all we have heard is will be. I have also read that some have successfully...

jmjm, Would an electrical outlet timer do what you want to do? I don't believe most WAPs use a separate on/off button or switch so a simple power on/off should work. Also, in order to investigate a software solution we need to know what brand it is. Bob W...

RowBarker, Is the Office button (top left) available? The image you provided makes it a bit difficult to tell. Most of the commands in Word are located there - Bob W "If the only tool you have is a hammer, you will see every problem as a nail." - Abraham...

JenLyn, There is a third party app that may do the trick - I have had success with it once or twice when nothing else would work.... you can download a free trial of "Quick View Plus 9" at http://www.download.com/Quick-View-Plus/3000-2381_4-10045750.html Bob W...

emozley, This may not be just what you want, but have you tried opening the email as if you were forwarding it and then copy all to Word? Bob "If the only tool you have is a hammer, you will see every problem as a nail." - Abraham Maslow
