    Single website won't connect

    As I said, connection speed isn't a big issue with her, so I'm going to stick with wireless for the present. If it isn't broken now, I see no need to "fix" it further. Plus she's preparing to move the computer across the room for the summer so we can put an air conditioner in the window behind...

    Single website won't connect

    Goombawahoo: Are you saying that you are using wireless for her computer now or that you switched network cables? Going wireless. Only thing I can figure out is that maybe the website was getting two different IP's for her system and got confused. She doesn't do much that requires blazing speed...

    Single website won't connect

    None of the solutions here seemed to help a bit (sorry folks, you usually do a great job) so I tried the last resort fix and did a fresh install of Windows, finishing up at 3 a.m. last night. I pulled up MSIE and...the problem was still there. You can understand my exasperation at that point...

    Single website won't connect

    Obtained the IP address by pinging site on my computer. Pinged the IP address with her computer - address times out. Entering the IP address in her browser gives a 404 error. Ran IPCONFIG /ALL, results at the end of this post for both computers. Ran MSCONFIG, disabled everything except Microsoft...

    Single website won't connect

    Two computers side by side running Windows 7 (64 bit), Firefox & MSIE browsers. Computer 1 (my wife's) has been working fine but suddenly this morning it won't connect with a forum website she regularly uses (fanfiction.net). Firefox and MSIE both just sit there and say "connecting" but never...

    G-mail message re: MSIE version.

    Google G-mail keeps popping up a message that my current version of MS Internet Explorer is not supported by G-Mail and I should upgrade. I've upgraded to Explorer 8, but the message won't go away. Checked cookies and script settings, dropped security levels, etc. to no avail. Google is...

    Unable to access fonts in Publisher 2007 document

    Copying and pasting everything into a new document seems to have fixed the problem. That's a head scratcher...oh well, as long as it's working, consider it solved. Have a star![thumbsup2]

    Unable to access fonts in Publisher 2007 document

    I have a boiler-plate bulletin that I've been using for several years that suddenly is unable to access any fonts except about a dozen standards such as Arial, Times New Roman, Courier New, etc. All of my special/decorative fonts are still available in new documents, it's just this old template...

    Printing size in PSP x2

    There's probably a fancy way to do it but this quick and dirty solution works for me... Create an image with a series of color-coded overlapping rectangles of decreasing size, each rectangle slightly smaller than the previous one. Print the image and examine the result, determine which...

    Scheduled Tasks

    Sort of a long way around the problem, but if all else fails you might try an AutoHotkey script with a loop to check the current time. When the current time matches the schedule time, execute the program and send username and password. AutoHotkey could probably handle running the report also.

    How to rebuild computer with broken cd/dvd drive?

    You mentioned that you had forgotten the password. Assuming you're talking about the BIOS password, most motherboards have a jumper that will enable you to reset it. Location and marking of the jumper can vary, check the board manufacturer's website if you can't find it. Once the password is...

    black screen of death!

    I'm inclined to think Freestone's #1 option, wrong video mode, is probably your answer. Try starting up in safe mode, change your video mode to something generic then reboot.

    LCD or Plasma for shop floor display?

    Plasma. I work for a large regional furniture/appliance dealer in their TV repair shop. I do clerical work, not actual repair, but I do deal with just about every set and part that comes through the shop. I've noticed that there are fewer plasma screens coming in for repair, but it could just be...

    Word Art

    Word and Publisher have WordArt, but I don't think FP2K does...I can't seem to find it on mine anyway. From your comments I suspect you might be using Publisher, which totally sucks at web page creation. In any case, when you generate the page with whatever you're using, the program is creating...

    the Warp Mesh tool; how to use?

    Don't have PSP 11, using PSP 9 at the moment, but I'm assuming the tools are still similar. Try using the warp brush instead. Set the image as a separate layer. Set the brush size to be around 30% larger than the image you're warping and gently nudge it to the curvature you need. You may need...

    skewing an image

    Depending on how uniformly the text is distorted, you might try using the rectangular selection tool to grab just the area of text that is distorted and adjust it with the raster deform tool. A little kludgy, but it might work.

    Looking for spam blocking code

    I've been getting flooded by spam-bots in a guestbook form on the order of hundreds of entries per day. I've been looking for some code to require submitters to type in a random set of characters to verify they're not a bot but haven't found anything. Could someone point me to some sample code...
