    Trying to avoid nested IF statements....

    Not sure the best way to explain this. Consider a row of numbers: 100 200 500 300 400 Now, in another cell I type the value "1000". I want a formula that will subtract the first row of numbers, one-by-one from 1000 until the result is less than 0. In this case, the answer would be...

    Explorer window is blank

    I have a computer where the explorer window is blank. If I open "My Computer" the window is blank but it does show the number of files at the bottom. If I click the folders button it lists the folders and files on the left-hand side but not the right-side window. I've checked for viruses and...

    I need a tiny program written

    I'm using XP Pro, if that makes a difference.

    I need a tiny program written

    Auger282 - I went to the link but my OS (WinXP) doesn't have an entry called Keyboard in the ControlPanel at the registry setting specified. Ed2020 - I downloaded and ran your utility but it didnt seem to do anything...? I opened the Keyboard settings in Control panel, set the speed to the...

    I need a tiny program written

    I'm using a Toshiba Satellite M40 laptop computer. For some reason, whenever I reboot it, the keyboard repeat rate drops to its default value. I like the repeat rate at the highest setting. The BIOS has very basic options and the keyboard rate is NOT one of them. So.... I want a tiny utility...

    Help! Video driver upgrade messed up my fonts/icons!

    Just a "final" followup to this thread: I contacted ATI about my font/icon problem. They sent me an email with a link to a utility that uninstalls ALL ATI files. I ran the software and upon restart, I installed the latest ATI driver for my card. After another restart all my fonts are working...

    Help! Video driver upgrade messed up my fonts/icons!

    Thanks, you suggested that earlier and I just tried it again but still no change. The icons on my desktop appear to have been re-written (they disappeared then re-appeared) but they were already fine. So they didn't appear to change but the system tray icons remain "blocky". I think the problem...

    Help! Video driver upgrade messed up my fonts/icons!

    Well, I located the original installation disk for my video card and did a complete uninstall of the drivers and went back to the original drivers. This worked! The problem was from the new drivers. It looks like the newest driver has some problem with the "Large Fonts" setting. I have not...

    Runtime error: -1072882841

    If you've uninstalled the app and re-installed it and the problem is still occuring, it's likely a driver issue. Have you gone to the website of the recording software to see if this is a known issue? They may have an update or patch to fix the problem. Unfortunately, it could be almost any...

    Help! Video driver upgrade messed up my fonts/icons!

    Hmm, well I've tried both of those suggestions and still no luck. I've compared the Appearance settings on my computer with another one running Win2K and everything is the same. I still can't seem to get the font size used in IE (and all my other apps) to be the default larger version (yes, my...

    Help! Video driver upgrade messed up my fonts/icons!

    Yes, I did get the latest driver and installed it but it didn't fix the font problem. It's almost if the driver installation caused a change in the Win2000 registry resulting in changing a setting by adding 1 (for example) instead of replacing a value. I've had this happen in the past before...

    Help! Video driver upgrade messed up my fonts/icons!

    I've tried that but I still can't seem to get a larger font in IE, Eudora and other programs. I can increase the size of the font being used but it's not the same font that comes with a default Win2000 installation. I'm really baffled why my Window Text font is too small/wrong font.

    Help! Video driver upgrade messed up my fonts/icons!

    I did try removing the hardware and reinstalling it but to no avail. Still messed up.

    Help! Video driver upgrade messed up my fonts/icons!

    I went to the Windows Update website and saw that there was a new driver for my video card. So, I installed it. But, as a result of the upgrade, my desktop fonts and icons changed. I've tried changing my Desktop Scheme to Windows Standard (Win2000) but it's not working properly. This has...

    Booting from flash drive

    Anyone tried putting their OS on a flash drive and booting from it? I'd be interested in knowing if boot times are faster and any problems with doing this...

    OS on a chip?

    Thanks all! I just discovered the Mini-ITX format the other day. These are very intriguing. My goal is to try and make a small, compact system that would look like a normal audio/video device (think DVD player). I want it to use a TV rather than a monitor as its main output video device. I'll...

    OS on a chip?

    Is it possible to build a computer system that has the OS loaded onto a chip for an "instant" boot time? I'm thinking of building a system (as a hobby) that could boot from some sort of RAM chip. Anybody know how this could be attempted?

    Win ME Updates

    I'm using Win2K however I need to reinstall WinME on a computer at work tommorrow. They don't have high-speed at work so I'm trying to download the service packs and security patches for WinME from home on my high-speed connection. I'm having an awful time finding these updates! Everytime I try...
