    Yahoo mail goes wacko in MSIE browser

    Thanks for your replies! As for content filtering, sites are usually filtered at the domain level (so the site doesn't come up when the RUL is entered). This behavior - of partially blank screens - happens in COMPOSE and REPLY, but not when reading mail. So the situation actually seems more...

    Yahoo mail goes wacko in MSIE browser

    Hi everyone, This is a browser, possibly a network issue: Yahoo Mail looks weird when sending and composing mail at work (it's a MSIE browser and outdate McAfee virus scan). When I plug a notebook into the network (with newer MSIE version, current virus scan, etc.) THE SAME BEHAVIOR HAPPENS...

    Best IT jobs - Most reliable, highest paying etc?

    i think everyone's definition of "decent pay" varies based on location (plains states not the same as Silicon Valley, NYC, or DC... which aren't the same as more moderate areas along the east coast) and CERTAINLY, "decent" has been adjusted (downward) since 2001, where technicians with 2-5 yrs...

    paid for nothing

    sounds like a set up or they're writing you off. in either case, you're not in the "know". best case is that you develop a new skill set while you're there (as in "there looking for another job"). be sure to documents all assignments, and conversations about work; try to do...

    comments nor fill handle show in Excel

    The weirdest thing has happened to a spreadsheet (version 2000) with 2+ years worth of monthly data across multiple accounts (hint: it would be devastating to loose or have to recreate this thing): 1) when attempting to drag cell contents, the pointer doesn't change into a fill handle. also...

    how to stop "print to file" in MS Word, XP Pro

    there's a win xp client, that can't Print To Printer from MS Word (but *can* print to printer from notepad, test page, browser). MS Word help has been no help, in that all "print to file" and "background printing" checkboxes are unchecked (file -> print, and tools -> options...

    where do i check to see if MSIE has 128bit encryption?

    Need to confirm that our browsers offer 128bit encryption? Is that a mfr (MSFT, Netscape) standard? or configurable by users (in the browser itself - tools, options...) thanks :)

    Files are being saved under "All us

    Files are being saved under "All users" so that users can get to work whether logged in locally (from satellite office they login locally then connect to VPN) or into domain (when working from headquarters). However, the files under All Users are coming up as "read only&quot...

    Value of a MOUS ?

    I currently teach an Introduction to IS class that covers MS Office applications (plus some hw sw os background, internet overview, etc). Since "subject matter expertise" is the name of the game nowadays, I've been debating whether there's ANY credibility or market value for...

    W2k Pro won't allow change from workgroup to domain

    I've browsed threads looking for this one - I'm stumped (again). It's a Windows 2k Pro (SP3) Dell, being configured on a W2kserver network running ADS and DHCP. So - under Network ID, when changing from the default "workgroup" to "domain", this ONE PARTICULAR PC doesn't...

    Dell OptiPlex Locks and Hangs on Start Up

    go figure on the resolution to the Dell OptiPlex hanging on start up... well, we didn't buy MONITORS from Dell, so we're using existing 15" CRTs (this particular one happened to be a Samsung SyncMaster, mfred 1998). So, after a new HD from Dell, then an OS and driver reinstalls, the same...

    Dell OptiPlex Locks and Hangs on Start Up

    go figure on the resolution to the Dell OptiPlex hanging on start up... well, we didn't buy MONITORS from Dell, so we're using older 15" VGA CRTs (this particular monitor happened to be a Samsung SyncMaster, mfred 1998). and, this particular monitor could not handle the default...

    difference b/t "local" login and logging into a domain

    ciaobaby: Yes, users are added on each workstation as well as the server. This was done unbeknowngst to me (corporate IT comes in every blue moon with some ineffective super-imposed set up and other "policy"). Anyhow, these clients are now BACK on the domain, but still have Local...

    difference b/t "local" login and logging into a domain

    let me try rephrasing - for what reason do users need to logon to "local PC"? i'm trying to determine how probable it is to use Local vs Domain access. thanks...

    TedM - ( i hear ya on the <wink>) the PCs were shipped with 256MB RAM, and running W2000 Pro; no upgrades since, so we should be okay... stingers - whew, hope you're a full time tech - that was alot. uhm, since that client worked OFF the network, but locked when on - is it configuration...

    difference b/t &quot;local&quot; login and logging into a domain

    Users who sign onto &quot;this computer&quot; (local computer where Win2k Pro defaults an administrator and a guest login) can still access network resources (internet, mapped drives, group policy). This is the same as when they log onto the domain. I find this potentially confusing because...

    Dell OptiPlex Locks and Hangs on Start Up

    Thanks for your reply... - PC has not yet been removed from network, so we don't know if behavior is the same - No updates have been downloaded from Dell. When entering the service tag # on support.dell.com, and selecting OptiPlex, Gx240, we get hardware components, no drivers, resource CD...
