Laptop: Windows 7 Home Premium with Office 2003 and Compatibility pack for Office 2007 is installed. Downloaded Office Professional Academic 201 file: OfficePro2010AcdemicEnglishSP1_x32.exe from MS office store which is the 32 bit version I am trying to install. Instead it comes up with an error messagesaying: "You cannot install the 64 bit version of Office 2010 because you have 32-bit versions installed.: "If you want to install the 32-bit Office 2010, get the 32-bit Office 2010 from the same place you purchased the 64-bit Office 2010" So it's telling me that the 32 bit version I downloaded is actually the 64bit version? I want the 32 bit version and this is wha…

I believe that this process has changed from Office 2007... My scenario: I have created a Windows 7 image that includes English Office 2010 and have deployed this image to many machines. I now have to deploy the Proofing Tools for Finnish and Swedish. I have downloaded the Finnish and Swedish Language Packs - BUT - I don't want to install the Language Pack - I want ONLY the Proofing Tools. I'd prefer to use ConfigMgr 2007 to do this, but will do whatever works to get the job done. I've read the "Add or remove languages after deploying Office 2010" and "Customizing Setup for Office 2010 Proofing Tools Kit", but they don't cover this scenario. I'll probably change m…

I have an Access 2003 database application that has been in use at hundred's of client sites and has never "performed" poorly in terms of response times for searching or form opening or closing when the application is installed on any Windows operating system except Windows Server 2008 R2. I have posted this problem on Experts-Exchange.com and one of the Genius's there explained that I needed to increase the Max Buffer Size in my access application because the 64 bit operating system wasn't allowing the memory buffers to clear efficiently so the application may freeze/lock up - which it does regularly if the Max Buffer size is set to 0. If I increase the Max Buffer too …

Hi, Below are some feedback/suggestions for the current MSE 4 beta: Installed on Win XP SP3 32-bit Arabic Edition * Arabic is an RTL (Right-To-Left) language like Hebrew, Persian, Syriac and many other languages. 1) Improve MSE UI for RTL language Windows: -Show English content on the left: Either show English content on the left, or keep it on the right but translate it into an RTL language (i.e. not showing English content on the right!) See screenshots below: Note 1: There was no problem for this issue in v2.0 and earlier. Note 2: All screenshots below are on the same OS, some on v2.0 and others for v4.0 after upgrading.

I am running Windows 7 with IE 9 and yesterday is started having problems with the View page switching to Full Screen mode without any prompting from me and sometimes the screen starts flickering terribly. I have tried reloading IE 9 but the problem continues. Any ideas? Continue reading...

Windows comes with a basic screen reader called Narrator that reads text on the screen aloud and describes some events (such as an error message appearing) that happen while you're using the computer. Is there a way to specifically control what is read on a webpage? For example, as a developer, can I place a specific file with dictation that enhances the experience for this speech. For example, I don't want ads read, or navigation. I'm thinking about people who are blind and need to read content and use the Narrator on the web. Is there a setting within the IE toolbar to control for what is read? Continue reading...

I have the same type of issue as Phillip. Additional info - Only since ie9 was uploaded in to my PC from ie8. The compile time user.agent value (ie8) does not match the runtime user.agent (ie9). Wed site is google adwords. Only occurs when BILLING TAB is chosen. I tried your solution of the compatibility for google.com. Changed the error comment but not a fix. Now I get: The compile time user.agent value (ie6) does not match the runtime user.agent (ie9). Changed ie8 to ie6. Result is the same, page will not load. Any ideas how to fully resolve this? Mozilla Firefox does not have this error, works fine. Thank you, Bob Continue reading...

Dear Friends. Hi. I'm very glad to join your website, the only no-inconvenience to users. And the previous site was real pain in the ****. Every now and then they suddenly 'declared' my passwords (3-4 times!!!). One might feel sorry as I that changing IDs and passwords means loss of friends and internet joy. Now that i'm part of your portal I rest assured not to endure the ORDEALS perpetrated by Hotmail. Thank you for everything. Najmie Continue reading...

Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 (See below for version information) stops the most recent SapphireTech/AMD/ATI Radeon HD 3850 Video Graphics Display driver at arbitrary times, and locks up the display screen, keyboard and mouse input under completely updated Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium. The system recovers eventually after the screen goes blank several times with a taskbar attached message stating that the AMD display driver has stopped functioning and it has restarted. The task manager indicates a completely loaded CPU (100%) for several minutes. Once, while attempting to catch the problem with the task manager when the system has had locked up, I have captur…

I tried to visit this link up by clicking "My Threads" and on the Last Reply that a person made: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproperf/thread/b0e22526-f63c-4ee9-9662-a910de1bc3cc#a8a5dfa1-1e09-44ef-832f-8075ed8d6604 IE9 essentially locks up on it. If you're patient, and wait a few minutes (yes, literally minutes) where IE uses up one CPU core continuously, it will finally show the page. Here are the results of my testing (note that I only tested it a limited number of times in some cases): The start of the thread may or may not be displayed. It happens with both IE9 32 and 64 bit on Windows 7 x64. Right-clicking the above link and choosing O…

Hi, I’ve found something in I.E. (no idea if it's specific to version or not -- I'm using I.E. 9 right now) which is very annoying to me: Highlighting is lost when window loses focus. Let me explain: Sometimes I need to highlight something inside some webpage and go to another window (not necessarily I.E.). But as soon as I change focus, highlighting is lost! Please understand that if I highlight something, there’s a good reason why I’m doing so because I need to make some information very visible amongst many others. I don’t care if highlighting background color is changed or not, but cancelling out highlight is very very stupid. So, I’d like to know if it’s po…

Restaarted computer many times, started in safe mode but cannot get to anything. boots up normally until Windows Exlporer(internet) opens up then many errors come up.
