My computer is doing the same thing! It just started yesterday! It randomly shuts itself down. I have an HP Laptop with Vista. The motherboard was replaced last year, (defective straight from factory). Everything else is good in it. I can't keep it on long enough to do ANYTHING with it, updating or anything. I can't keep it on long enough to run my anti-virus scan to see if this was a virus. Then once I turn it back on I get that, your computer unexpectently shut down, check the disk drives, etc. HELP ME PLEASE!!! I need it fixed by Monday morning (today is Saturday morning here). I have to use my laptop at work Monday, but right now I don't see that happening. I'm fully …

When I am in excel or word and I am using a mouse with a scroll wheel and the mouse cursor is over the ribbon and I scroll the wheel on the mouse the ribbon moves. Is there anyway that I can stop that from happening? In the older version of word it didn't do this and in the add-in program that I am using it makes me crazy.

- 161 views
Currently I'm using "PropertyGrid" control for my C# application. My problem is that when I input some "alphabetic" values(e.g. abc) for a property which only accpets “Integer†values, I get the error message below - "Property value is not valid", in the details panel, the information is like this - " 'abc' is not a valid value for Int32". Could I customize this error message?(e.g. showing some user-friendly message instead of "Int32").

My fix for IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
by Guest Rick Kennedy- 0 replies
- 425 views
I had the IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL problem for weeks in early 2010 (XP Pro). My investigations informed me that it was probably a bad PCI network card....but it was not. Finally, (after weeks of my wife nagging me for poor web performance and crashing blue screens etc.) the program 'combofix' diagnosed an 'MBR rootkit infection' (master boot record)...and I used the fix file MBR.exe to fix it. All is well now. No BSOD's for 2 weeks now and webpages are fine and fast as ever. dasgregorian wrote: Another IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL situation 29-Jan-10 So, I have been getting the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSOD for the last couple weeks.

This is an annoying problem that's haunting me for month: In any Office 2007 Open & "Save as" dialog box there's a location selector for "My SharePoint-Websites". In this location there are a number of SharePoint sites that have accidentaly been memorized here. As the owner of some of these sites has not given permission to me to access these sites, trying to access one of those will pop up a login box and that's exactly what happens in any Office application (Outlook, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.) at random times. I'm not aware of any special user action that triggers the connect, so you couldn't even avoid it by not opening and saving any fi…

Icons don't update when default program changed
by Guest mach7- 0 replies
- 134 views
Suppose I have a file type (such as .cpp or .vhd) that is opened by program X by default. Then I change the default program to Y by selecting "Open With...", choosing a new program, and checking "Always use this program". Whenever I do this, I've noticed that the icon for files of that type does not update to Y, but instead stays with X's icon. Is there a way to "refresh" the system so that it associates the correct icons with file types? -J

Autoformat question
by Guest Tom K- 0 replies
- 157 views
We have a need to turn off AutoFormat replacement of "straight quotes with smart quotes", "fractions with fraction characters", "ordinals with superscript", and "hyphens with dashes" on a 1,000 of our 13,000 installations of Office 2007. I can use a specially filtered group policy with the Office 2007 group policy templates to disable those options in AutoFormat As You Type/Replace As You Type, but there is not a similar group of settings for AutoFormat/Replace. Does anyone have any idea how I can accomplish this aside from emailing manual instructions to the group? Thanks, Tom

How to hide an update
by Guest johnmltb- 0 replies

When you run Windows Update, choose custom to search to search for the uodate instead if express. Custom will find the update, and includes a box that says: Do not show me this update again. Checking this will hide the update.

Not Prompted to Specify Download Folder for File
by Guest HD- 0 replies
- 165 views
This worked for ie8 and windows 7 As Windows7 does not have the File Types tab in the Folder Options applet, you need to edit the registry in order to reset the Open/Save choice made earlier in Internet Explorer. 1. Click Start, type Regedit.exe and press ENTER 2. Navigate to the following branch: HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Shell \ AttachmentExecute \ {0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} 3. In the right-pane, right-click on the appropriate entry and choose Delete 4. Exit the Registry Editor.

Hi, I found a solution for an error message on start up that states that memory could not be written at 0x7c91b21a 0x00000010. It appears the latest update for Windows Media Player is causing this problem if the Service, Windows Driver Foundation. is turned on. It needs to be disabled. I found this at Bleeping Computers and this solution worked for me. Cathy http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic261076.html

Page does not display on IE startup
by Guest carina- 0 replies
- 133 views
We use a proxy server, with user login names & passwords, to connect to the internet. IE8 always comes up with a 'cannot display this web page' message on startup and we then have to hit the refresh button in the title bar to bring up the login box for the proxy server. The login box is not hiding behind the window - I have checked that. This only happens with IE8. IE7 & 6 bring up the login box straight away without the need for refresh. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this discrepancy with IE8 ?
