I'm writing a paper on complex calculations of gear teeth. It is currently 39 pages long and will be about 60 pages long when finished. It has many Greek symbols and will have about 100 equations and a 75-line table when finished. About a dozen drawings will be included as .jpg pictures. So far...

I need to sort an Excel spreadsheet with 800+ rows. There are many cell references from one row to another: for example, the formula in cell D121 refers to cell D203. When I run the Excel sort command, the row-to-row references are not preserved. As I read up on this, everyone says this is to...

I have been using Thunderbird for many years and have been very happy with it except for the last year or so. I have 2 computers, a 32-bit desktop at work, and a relatively new Dell 64-bit laptop. Both have Win 7 Pro. I installed Thunderbird version 2.0.0.23 (20090812) on the laptop. This is...

I'm using: Windows 7 Pro Version 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) Thunderbird version 2.0.0.24 (20100228) AT&T / Yahoo mail servers Thunderbird and/or AT&T keep losing tracking of my login credentials for outgoing mail (but not incoming mail), which prevents me from sending mail...

This more of a user problem than a programming problem, but this forum appeared to be the best match to my problem. I'm on Win 7 Pro, ver 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1). Win updates are enabled. I use Firefox52.0.1, (updates enabled), and Adobe Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0. For a few years...

I am running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. My printer is a Brother MFC-6490CW. Before I contacted Brother about this problem, I could only get one copy of a printout at a time, no matter how many copies I told any application to print. Brother said, as a work-around, I should change a setting in...

I created a userform in a Windows 7 (64 bit) / Excel 2010 spreadsheet I use for engineering calculations. The userform worked as intended. I then copied the spreadsheet to an XP computer running Excel 97 and edited the code behind the userform. The edited userform ran fine on XP / Excel 97...

I'm in the process of migrating from Win XP to Win 7. I currently have 2 side-by-side computers with those OSs on them. What's holding me back on making a total commitment to Win 7 is that my Kensington Expert Mouse (actually a trackball) is not working smoothly under Win 7. I have been using...

A few months ago, I decided to upgrade from Windows XP / Office 97 to Windows 7 / Office 2010. I now have 2 XP computers and 1 Win 7 computer. My main reason for the change to Win 7 is that it is supposed to be more secure. This interested me, because no matter how careful I was, my XP...

Windows XP decided to change the menu font size on me. I want 8 points; XP wants 10 points. With 10 points, my AutoCad screen menu runs off the bottom of the screen and I don't have access to a number of commands I use often. I am able to set the Windows menu font size to 8 points as follows...

I use FileOpenPatcher by Elmusoft to make the file open/close dialog box more user friendly - it changes the default view from Thumbnails to Details. It does this by replacing the comdlg32.dll file with a modified version. I'm running Win XP Pro SP3. On installation, FileOpenPatcher says...

I have a Canon BJ-230 printer that has recently stopped working. I have used it for many years and it has been very reliable. Its primary virtue (other than its reliability) is that it handles 11 x 17 paper. The printer was working fine under Win XP, which I'm still using. A couple of months...

I'm running Win XP Home and AVG Anti-virus 9.0.864. Due to viruses that seem to be incurable, I'm getting ready to wipe and reformat my hard disk, then reinstall Win XP Home, and all my other software. My email (Thunderbird) files are very important to my work - I would like to save them on...

My son and I have written a mechanical engineering app in VB 2008. I'm a mechanical engineer; my son's a programmer. We hope to eventually market the app. We paid no attention to the issue of deployment until very late in the game. My son finally came up with a deployment scheme that doesn't...

I'm running Win XP Home on my office computer with a Pentium 4 processor and Intel D945PSN motherboard. I have two hard drives, a SATA and an IDE. I set up the CMOS to boot from the SATA drive. It worked fine that way for quite a while. Then one day it decided to boot from the IDE drive. I...

I'm a vb noob using vb 2008 Express. I'm writing a moderately complex program for doing engineering calculations. I've made a GUI on one Form with several dozen text boxes, combo boxes, and labels. A lot of work has gone into both the code and the physical placement and alignment of the...

I'm writing a VB app for doing gear (toothed wheel) calculations. The user inputs many numbers, the program crunches the numbers and gives the user back still more numbers. But it's very easy to input numbers that can not result in meaningful calculations, so I want to generate an error report...

I have a Fujitsu C2310 laptop computer running Win XP Home that reliably fails to completely boot every other power up - i.e. on alternate power ups. On a failed boot, it does not always get to the same place in the boot process. It always at least puts up the right desktop background color...

I need to convert several hundred lines of AutoLisp math formulas to standard math syntax to use in another programming language. Is there a conversion program that does this?
