My treasured big glass monitor has worked for years, including with Win7. Apparently an update of some kind has removed the specific monitor driver, and now the system is using the driver for Generic VGA (Non-PNP), and the best resolution I can get isn't as good as what I had before - the...
My Gateway laptop at holme has built-in camera and mike for Skype, etc. I would like to use it with an Amateur Radio app that brings received audio into the Mike In jack on the laptop. On my ancient Thinkpad where I used this same app, I remember an input mixer adjustment where I could reduce...
thread223-1707929 - Vista-64 based HP Vista system. Acrobat Reader worked initially, but has had a blow-out problem for quite a while now - up to reader 10.1.9, and if I click on a PDF file in Explorer, it will bring up reader and I can see the first page for a few seconds, but if I try to do...
On a Vista-64 machine (HP pavilion), opening a PDF (any size) results in viewing it for a few seconds, then Reader closing suddenly.
The Problem Resolution only suggests reloading the current version, which doesn't help (been through that loop more than once).
If I download the PDF, then right...
On an HP Pavilion, running Vista-64, current patches, the DVD drive no longer works. The Device driver says it's corrupted.
But I can't force a rename, or delete it, because it's protected as a System file.
I thought buying a new drive would force a solution, but it still wants to use the same...

Cropping the right margin when printing in IE has been an issue for over 10 years. I'd put it out of my mind until yesterday, when one of my co-workers showed me a printout of a PDF invoice that she'd received as an attachment to an email, which she'd received in her Lotus Notes...
After 17 months of excellent service, my Gateway (Acer) laptop running Win7 decided not to boot - just gave me the text screen with various choices like 'last good configuration', Repair Windows, etc. I tried them all, no luck. Ordered the recovery disks using the unit serial number, they...
I downloaded the California 540A PDF tax form yesterday,and it said I could save the form with the data.... so entered the data, and while I could save it with the data as advertised, when I printed the form, I got just the form, but NOT the data! This was at home with Acrobat Reader X...
I've been using Acrobat 8 Pro for several years, and my work involves taking individual PDF's that are an aggregate of records, and separarting the records and saving to individual PDF's. In 8 pro, and in 6 pro before that, it has been very convenient to Delete a header page, and in extracting...
My Gateway (Acer) laptop came with Win7, and has been a joy to use. Last week, something got into it (virus, worm?) that made it unusably slow. Doing a scan with F-prot found nothing. I tried Windows Update, and it failed. Exploring my options in the control panel, I found an option to...
Our home network has a wired Vista-64 box, two Win7 laptops with WiFi connections,a WiFi connected Lexmark All-in-One and a wired Buffalo LANstation. All worked nicely, everything could see everything else, until an iPhone was added to the family menagerie, and suddenly we couldn't print...
the column of workspace icons on the left used to start with a Pages icon, that would give me the whole left side of the workspace, displaying thumbnails of all pages, so I could rearrange pages. Somehow that icon has disappeared, and the closest I can come to the function is View, Navigation...
The system: a very stock home Vista-64 system with IE8, kept patched with WindowsUpdate, running F-Prot for malware protection.
The issue: A couple of weeks ago, on all of our active Vista profiles, using IE8, we can't get to any Hotmail accounts, nor Facebook, nor even my work iNotes account...
I've got an older Thinkpad (500Mhz, 384MB RAM) that I really don't want to part with. It's been running Win2K for 9 years, and now some kind of trojan has snuck by my F-Prot, and won't leave. F-Prot caught and killed the same trojan on my Vista-64 machine. I'd like to install XP Pro on the...
The challenges, including changing the economic system of their country, were unbelievable. I highly recommend a new title, 'The Lenovo Affair' subtitled 'the growth of China's computer giant and its takeover of IBM-PC' by Ling Zhijun, translated by Martha Avery. ISBN 0470821930.

Production server, on of the volumes with 10 drives in RAID 5, one drive went defunct. Used RaidServe, clicked on Remove defunct drive, then pulled it. Put a new drive in the slot, let the sysetm scan for it. Now the new drive shows Ready, but I'm at a loss on having the array rebuild and change...
I've been assigned Admin tasks in Remedy, with minimal training and no manuals. I'd be willing to buy some manuals if I could find any that cover AR 5.0. I need to add to a Type list under a particular category (add a list of Types to the list under the Project category) and haven't found a way...
I use iNotes with my Vista Premium 64-bit machine at home, and it works, but EVERY time I read a message, or reply to one, the User Account Control pops up and I have to give permission for the event to happen. I don't see a way to allow iNotes to have a general clearance. Does anyone have any...
I'm overdue to catch up to the modern world - currently running two home systems with Win2K Pro. Just purchased a New HP Pavilion - Dual core Intel CPU, 4GB/500GB, comes with Vista 64-bit - wondering if there's a safe way to set it up to dual boot Vista (or downgrade to XP Pro) and one of the...
