    Laptop boot issue

    Had a similar problem with a Toshiba recently. It would work fine with an external monitor via VGA cable, but nothing on the laptop screen. What I did was to remove the graphics driver completely & reboot. I then got the laptop screen working, all be it with a standard driver. I then downloaded...

    Windows Vista issue with black screen

    As above, a clean install is probably required, but I would suggest that you create a bootable CD or USB drive with Linux (Ubuntu) & recover any personal data first. Windows 7 would work better than Vista.

    HDD SMART failure

    I have had a few drives go this way, but it can be very difficult to get the data back. I don't think that a piece of software will really help in this case, but is always worth a try. I would personally boot with a live Linux CD (Ubuntu or similar) to see if that can read the drive. Often...

    OS9 access privileges

    I have a panel user on this Mac G4 that needs access to run MS Office for Mac, but I cannot get it to work. I am told that the user does not have enough access privileges. I have turned on sharing on the folder & given the user read/write access, but this has made no difference. I used to have...

    Renaming a mac OS9.2 machine

    SYQUEST you are a star. Changing the computer name in the file sharing was exactly what I wanted. It would have taken me ages to find that. Not exactly the obvious place. Anyway, thank you once again.

    Renaming a mac OS9.2 machine

    I am able to rename the machine as it appears on the network, but I would like to change the actual name of the machine. I am using Citrix & for some reason this is not picking up the network name, just the name that it was registered with.

    Renaming a mac OS9.2 machine

    Anyone got any ideas?

    Renaming a mac OS9.2 machine

    Probably a very simple solution to this, but I haven't found it yet. Do not use MAC's that much, but how can I rename a MAC that is running OS9.2 Thanks

    sd card reader

    Not as far as I know. It is actually treated the same as any USB external memory within Windows & is always mounted, even without any actual card inserted. If you had been using Linux the drive would only be mounted when a card is inserted. Therefore the card can be un-mounted & not the reader...

    desktop display problems

    Great stuff. Glad you are sorted. Have a good one. :-)

    desktop display problems

    Yes Vista should have system restore. Not got Vista to hand, but I seem to remember that it has.

    desktop display problems

    What OS are you using? If you are using XP try doing a rolling back to a system restore point before you had the problem.

    sd card reader

    It sounds like you are actually unmounting the card reader itself, so you would need to unplug & replug it to get it working again. Just try unplugging the card instead of using safely remove hardware. Just make sure that it is not being written to at the time.

    Moving a row in Excel

    Thanks I will have a look at that.

    Moving a row in Excel

    It would only need to happen when that particular row has been finnished & a tick ends up in the last cell of the row. The time could vary from a few days to a few weeks. If it is going to be too complicated I don't think it will be worth it. The row is marked as finished, but I just thought it...

    Moving a row in Excel

    Yes What I would like to do is remove the row & insert it in another sheet, but only when that row has a certain character in one cell. Not keen on programming this in VB, so if there was a way to do it with a straight function it would be good, but it doesn't sound like it. Any help would be...

    Moving a row in Excel

    The title sounds simple enough, but it is a bit more than it sounds. What I would like to be able to do is move a row from one worksheet to another if one cell in the row to move meets certain conditions. For example if cell G8 = CHAR(252) move row 8 to sheet 2 Does that make sense & is it...

    Excel count cells

    Hi Glenn, Thanks for that I seem to have it working the way & want now, Just need to figure out the correct font for the OpenOffice side, but that is minor. The main thing is it works. Huge thanks.

    Excel count cells

    Should have mentioned, I do not want to use VB script as I would like it to stay compatible with OpenOffice Calc.

    Excel count cells

    Not sure if this will make sense, but here goes. If I have a number of cells that require data, say G3,H3,I3 etc & I have a cell that has the number 3 (A3) in it, how can I add up the number of cells as long as they have data in them. Say Cells G3 & H3 have data that would equal 2 cells, but...
