system.unauthorizedaccess from Peachtree Premium 2011 on XP Pro SP3
by Guest SimeonAitken- 0 replies
- 286 views
Hi there, I have been working feverishly for the last few days trying to get an XP pseudo-server-machine running after having been nominally messed up by a recent Peachtree Update. I have managed to get the most necessary applications up and running (ShipGear, UPS WorldShip) -- all except for Peachtree Premium 2011. It is rather important that this is resolved as there is a large amount of information and business transactions dependent on Peachtree being functional on this system. A system restore to a point before the Peachtree updates has helped to resolve the problems with the other programs on the computer, but for some reason Peachtree refuses to run correctly....…

Address found lost from auto-complete list when trying to enter e-mail TO
by Guest Oscar Nelsen- 0 replies
- 234 views
Outlook 2010. After previously fat fingering the delete function on an address causing the loss, I searched for a way of getting it restored to the TO auto-complete list. Found some interesting and sometimes complex solutions, but one in the Windows 7 section inspired me to try something. I created a new e-mail,manually entering the address I wanted restored, clicked OPTIONS in the e-mail Ribbon, selected Delay Delivery, then closed Outlook. When Outlook was reopened, the address reappeared in the auto-complete list. If there is a better or easier way (likely), let me know. Continue reading...

When I try to access internet listening on Sirius XM I receive a blank screen with a message to load Flash player. I have unistalled and installed the latest version of Flash player several times and still receive the same message. When I reduce the screen and put the "mouse arrow" over it at the bottom of my monitor I can see the screen, but when I click on it and make it full size it is a blank screen with the Flash player message at the top. Did not have this problem until I loaded Explorer 9. My software is Windows 7. Thanks Continue reading...

64 bit Word 2010 crashing
by Guest Allder- 0 replies
- 237 views
From previous posts and answers, the solution to this problem is to disable the Bluetooth add-in. However, my question is therefore "Why should I have to do that?". When I recently purchased a new laptop, I specifically selected a model that had built-in Bluetooth (a Samsung RV-520) because I want to be able to send files to other devices via Bluetooth, which is not rocket science as I am sure you will agree. As this problem appears to occur on every machine that has built-in Bluetooth functionality, surely the fault lies in a bug in 64 bit Word 2010. This problem seems to have been around for at least 12 months and I find it hard to believe that Microsoft have not identi…

by Guest Thomas Higgins- 0 replies
- 239 views
I made a slight configuration change to IE9 in the Citrix Environment I look after. I modified the welcome page to an internal page. This was just a welcome to the company / citrix environment page. I usually do all my testing in a Citrix Desktop (where these modifications worked). When I moved to using IE withing a seamless window, they did not work. So I have few questions: How can I get it to work? If it is not possible to get it to work, can the welcome page be modified by a registry key / group policy / file? Thanks Continue reading...

Devices and Printers page takes forever to load & doesn't show my devices or printers
by Guest jld0077- 0 replies
- 124 views
I have Win7 RC1 installed on three machines. Two are 64-bit and one is 32-bit. On the 64-bit desktop and the 32-bit laptop, everything seems to be running OK in the Devices and Printers window. However, on the 64-bit laptop, the Devices and Printers page doesn't load. The green bar moves across, then stalls after several minutes. I can install a new printer or device, but I can't configure or delete an old device. Any assistance is appreciated. The two laptops are identical Dell Latitude D830s, except that one runs 32-bit Win7 and the other runs 64-bit. It's the 64-bit one that's having problems. At the very least, if there are other ways to install, configure and -- e…
