    Windows XP compatability with newer MoBos and multi-core CPUs?

    Thanks again, everybody... to hairlesssupportmonkey- my windows disks are not OEM versions, they are the full, unencumbered install disks so I won't have any troubles with that. You seem much more positive on win 7 than me or many others I've spoken to. Thing is, I only am interested in having...

    Windows XP compatability with newer MoBos and multi-core CPUs?

    Thanks to goombawaho, Rclarke250 and to vacunita for your fast replies...You guys (I may sound sexist, but I assume you're male) pretty much confirmed what I thought; that there may be some issues in the future with device drivers, especially for newer ones, but there is no inherent reason why...

    ieee 1394 - won't install drivers

    I once ran into something related...I have had several issues with firewire in the past...the first was erroneously plugging in a 6 pin-to-4-pin cable backwards (on the 6-pin end) with the 4-pin end already plugged into a Digital 8 video camera...the power from the 6-pin port apparently "fried"...

    Windows XP compatability with newer MoBos and multi-core CPUs?

    Hi, My computer is really starting to show it's age and needs to be replaced with something more up to modern specs. I have done this a few times before so I know my way around the process. I have identified a few good choices of mainboard/CPU combos and I was all set to start ordering...

    How can I search for a word in a pdf document

    Adobe Acrobat 7 also has the "recognize as text" function, which can be done after a scan of a document into a .tiff (or other image file). It does a reasonably good job but certainly is not perfect. Scanner software with OCR is also a mixed bag but I have pretty good luck with my Microtek 6000...

    PDF page thumbnails are B&W-Can I make them color?

    I have a multi-page document (actually a scan of the individual pages of a magazine). Some of the pages were scanned directly to PDF, using the OCR function of my scanning software, and some were scanned as .jpg or .bmp and then "converted" to PDF in a second step-using Acrobat 7 Pro. The reason...

    Page size of PDF from "stitched" photo is way too large

    jmgalvin Thanks for your reply...I have seen your name a lot in the adobe acrobat forum so you must be very knowledgeable about this program. I have not checked the print size in photoshop (I only have the photoshop elements program, not the full-fledged photoshop and I actually prefer using...

    Page size of PDF from "stitched" photo is way too large

    Here's a tough one- I've been searching for an answer for this on Google and everywhere I can think of (including Adobe's site) and I can't find an answer. Here's the problem: I scan a 2 page magazine layout on a standard flatbed scanner, using 3 scans so I can "stitch" the 3 images into the...

    How to update a program that is on Non-C drive

    The update takers Drive Image from 7.0 to 7.03 and it is a large patch/update (52 MB or so I think). I think you were right the first time- they were stupid enough to think everybody will install to C drive. I have decided this is a good time to upgrade to Acronis TrueImage and dump Symantec...

    Constant requests to reactivate Acrobat 7

    Wondering if any others have encountered this little annoyance. I have an activated acrobat 7 pro on my computer that has been updated twice by Adobe (to 7.02). I recently had to re-install MS Office (Word, Excel, Outlook only)and shortly thereafter I started getting messages in Acrobat stating...

    Full Version of Acrobat to use Forms?

    I have read much of this thread and I can make a suggestion that I think would help. If you are looking for an application that is inexpensive and will do what I think you are trying to do. And, best of all, it doesn't put any more $$ in Adobes coffers. The program is called PDFill and will...

    How to update a program that is on Non-C drive

    wcburton Thanks for your reply and suggestions. I had drive image installed, at one time on the C drive but that was a long time ago and it was a different physical disk drive and several re-loads ago. I already have the default location for new program installs set to D drive (from a reg tweak...

    How to update a program that is on Non-C drive

    To Franklin97355 If this product were still being supported by PowerQuest I would have contacted them without hesitation. Since it has been acquired by Symantec, I can't imagine a bigger exercise in futility. I use both Drive Image and Partition Magic. PowerQuest was always very responsive...

    How to update a program that is on Non-C drive

    Hi, I set up my system to separate the operating system from the majority of my programs and documents based upon some written material I read that made a great case for it. My set up is thus: Master Drive C-Drive partitioned as primary active-contains Win XP and a limited set of...

    How to add records from one table to another

    HenryAnthony- Bloat the database is an understatement, it was like a database genetic experiment gone wrong. I have a pair of books on the office suite (one is for 1997 and the other 2000) but neither does an adequate job explaining Access. So if you could recommend one I'd sure appreciate...

    Lost ability to copy/paste photos from web to Word

    Yeah, I tried combing the office XP forums accessed (no pun) from the windows site and no one had the exact problem I am having, though a few were close. Needless to say, I found no workanle solution. Doesn't anyone have the same problems I have? Since it is happening throughout the entire...

    How to add records from one table to another

    To PHV- your tip about the indexed files was a good one and started me in the right direction-Thanks To BNPMike, Thanks for your help- yes I did use a wizard and it added the keyframe (oops, that's Flash, another complex program I'm trying to learn now) being an auto-generated and unique number...

    How to add records from one table to another

    BNPMike Thanks for the reply...I know the forum is not a place to be looking for a course in how to use a program so I won't ask for that kind of help. I understand most of the rest of the office suite but Access is another story. This seems to be about the most Un-intuitive program I have ever...

    Lost ability to copy/paste photos from web to Word

    frainbreeze, Thanks for the reply...no, right clicking and copying to clipboard does nothing..when I click to paste into word I get notheing except the cursor moves down the page as if it pasted in an invisible photo macropod, I can't be sure about the exact timing but I did activate...

    Lost ability to copy/paste photos from web to Word

    I don't know why but suddenly I have lost the ability to copy/paste with photos from the web into Word (or any other office program also). If I highlight a portion of a webpage that contains a photo, copy it to the clipboard and try pasting it into word, the text will appear but no photos. It...
