    Access DB Update slow for no reason

    I have a vbscript that I had been running daily and it has been fine. After not having run it for a few weeks, when I tried yesterday it appeared to just hang. After troubleshooting I found that actually it wasn't hung, but one line of code (a single UPDATE to an Access 365 database) was taking...

    Recording excel macro that sorts a dynamic range

    When I record a macro in Excel that includes sorting, the macro always hard-codes the cell range. So if I run the macro on another spreadsheet with more rows, it only sorts the top portion. Now, I know how to solve this with some VBA code, but I'm trying to demonstrate the value of recording...

    Way to go from Windows 10 Home to Windows 7 Pro

    I believe that windows 10 home does not have downgrade rights, but if I have a computer with Windows 10 Home and upgrade it to Windows 10 Pro, can I then downgrade to Windows 7 Pro?

    Updates failed, cannot revert back?

    I have a Dell Latitude 3540 laptop with Win 7 pro, maybe 2+ years old... Stuck in this loop: "Failure configuring windows updates. Reverting changes. Do not turn off your computer". Presumably Windows Updates ran overnight recently, failed and now cannot revert back, and I cannot get to a login...

    Multi-boot software suggestions

    One of my clients (car repair shop) needs a laptop to run software that interfaces with diagnostic tool he has. The problem is that each car manufacturer he deals with has different software to interface with this device, each having different requirements (one being that some require a 32 bit...

    Firefox crashes when playing video from websites

    For about the last two weeks (not really sure when it started), Firefox chokes on almost any video I play from a website. I mean, simple video clips you would see on a news or entertainment website. When the video is playing, my RAM usage gradually increases at a contant and rapid rate, until it...

    Hard drive hell

    A coworker has a Dell 1545 that they said took a small drop off a couch (though no obvious damage), and the laptop stopped functioning ever since. I took it... never got past Windows logo, safe mode didn't work either. I was finally able to get the files copied off using Safe Mode with command...

    Server 2003 / IE8, can't access sites

    I am having a very strange problem; I have two unrelated websites that I am unable to access on 2003 Terminal Servers via IE8. I get "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". I tried this on three different terminal servers via IE8, and got the same problem. However, using Firefox on...

    Mail is going to spam in gmail only

    Having a frustrating issue; one company I deal with sends non-marketing emails to parents and players of a sports league, usually no more than 40 or 50 people at a time, all in the BCC field of outlook. These emails are received by nearly everyone, except lately they are all ending up in gmail's...

    Join with vb function in it

    I am trying to run a query in Access (2003) that requires a join of one field to the first 4 characters of another field. I guess I never tried to do this before, because when I do the query is successful but when I go back to design view i get "Microsoft Access can't represent the join...

    Intranet site via sharepoint from outside

    I'm new to using Sharepoint, so I'm not even sure this is possible; I have a client with SBS 2008 / Sharpoint 2007. They also have a 2003 server with IIS set up, and a classic ASP page (intranet only) running on it. I want this site to be accessible through the companyweb page. Well, I was able...

    IE9 refreshing itself automatically

    OK, this is driving me crazy. Someone I know has Vista Home Premium with IE9. Shortly after they log into their AOL webmail, (mail.aol.com) and start typing a new email, within a few minutes they get the IE popup that says: "Are you sure you want to leave this page?". You can mimic the same...

    SBS 2008 RWW login with W7 requires domain\username?

    In the past when connecting to a computer (with XP) using RWW in SBS 2008, I enter my username and password twice; once at the RWW login screen, and once after selecting a computer to log on to. Since upgrading my workstation to Windows 7, I can no longer just type my username... I have to type...

    Stop smartphone email from Exchange 2007 OWA

    I have a number of users here that retrieve emails on their smartphones, via OWA on SBS 2008 with Exchange 2007. I thought (mistakenly) that removing OWA access for a user (via the Windows SBS Console, User Properties, Web Sites, and un-checking OWA) would prevent that user from receiving emails...

    Cahced credentials for laptops

    Looking for some general advice. We have an SBS 2008 network. remote users use RWW to connect to a Terminal Server, or in some cases their local workstation (to run apps that can't run on Terminal Server). They remote in from home, or in some cases remote in from customer's computers via RWW...

    Web pages not rendering properly

    I have a Dell Inspiron laptop with Windows 7 which seems normal, except web pages do not render properly in IE9 or Firefox 8, but Chrome is fine... For example, the top bar in Google, which should be black with white letters, just shows as a series of white boxes with a blue border. The pic...

    Low profile bracket kit for NVIDIA Quadro 600

    I have a computer that has an NVIDIA Quadro 600 in it already. It is getting a new card, and I would like to move the Quadro 600 into a low profile computer. However, since the card was pre-installed, it did not come with the low-profile brackets. I have searched in vain for a low profile...

    Inspiron 1545 CPU fan not spinning

    Have a Dell Inspiron 1545... The CPU fan spins (somewhat loudly) at powerup, then slows and stops spinning within a few seconds. I removed the heat sink, and blew out what dust there was near the fan (not much), but the behavior is the same. Fan only spins briefly at powerup.... If I restart...
