    Word 2007 Templates Question.

    Hi, I've recently started using Office 2007 on my new PC. In Word the new template selection dialog box is a big improvement -on Word 97, I skipped 2003- but there seems to be a somewhat annoying flaw. I've about 10 templates which I've made. Some are used almost daily, some quite rarely. To...

    Regulary can't delete folders

    Thanks for the advise guys. I'll run checks later to see if my AV is causing problems. Sorry to be brief, major work load landed on my desk this morning & am swamped.

    Regulary can't delete folders

    No - I didn't install the check for updates at all. "As a matter of interest, did Unlocker tell you what process was keeping you from deleting folders? Was it Explorer?" Yes. Thanks.

    Regulary can't delete folders

    Thanks Rick998 for suggesting unlocker. I installed it and ran a test it works well but there is a problem. Multiple 'unlocker.exe' instances stay alive! I right-click on the folder, hit unlocker, the unlocker dialog pops up, I hit unlock all, the dialog closes, and I can delete the folder...

    Problem with phantom DVD Drive

    did u install any virtual-drive software like daemon-tools or nero?" Yes. Nero is on my system, but I only used it's virtual drive facility for an ISO image a few times, that feature has been disabled for a long time. I also have PowerISO which has been used semi-regulary (1-2 times a month)...

    Problem with phantom DVD Drive

    Thanks for the advise. The reg clean seems to have solved the USB device problem. I can't stop the phantom DVD drive from re-installing itself after a re-boot if I've uninstalled it, master and slave are correctly configured already. However I've a temp. fix by disabling the phantom drive. I'm...

    Hi, Win 2000 Pro - Fully up-to-date. I've a phantom DVD Drive which I think is causing problems with my real DVD Re/Writer. Basically my NEC DVD drive works fine with CDs but when I insert a movie DVD I'm told there's nothing in the drive, even with DVDs that worked in the past. Device...

    Problem posting form data within a bookmarklet.

    Ok, thanks again Dan. I think my problem is that the form doesn't get posted, it just appears with the data values I set shown in the form. I am guessing that if I can get the form to self-post it will be posted to the correct window, but I'm not sure. Oh well, I'll persevere and any...

    Problem posting form data within a bookmarklet.

    Thank you very much Dan. The isbn variable now works correctly in the form, but unfortunately the target="LibraryLookup" does not. The post data still goes to the original window and not to the newly opened one. It occurred to me that the problem might be that once the newly opened window is...

    Problem posting form data within a bookmarklet.

    Hi, The following bookmarklet code is modified from the Library Lookup Project. The 1st 2 lines of the code below extracts a book's ISBN number (worldwide unique ID) from a book's page on a site like Amazon. (It gets the ISBN from the page's URL). The next 2 lines open a new browser window...
