Adding multiple names for one printer
by Guest Greybeard- 0 replies
- 369 views
I have a Brother printer with two trays containing different paper. On XP I added the printer, changed the name to include the tray selection, than added the printer again, changed its name for the other tray. Then programs could be set to always use the appropriate printer name to get paper from a specific tray. On Vista I added the printer once (with new down loaded driver from Brother) changed its name and set the prreferences to one tray. Then I added the printer again, set preferences, changed its name and tried a test page. Nothing happened and in the Printer list on Control Panel the second printer name shows Error instead of Ready. The first name s…

LaCie USB External HD Problem

I recently purchased the above product, but when I try to format it in NTFS on my desktop (Windows XP SP2) I get the error, "The operation did not complete because the partition or volume is not enabled. To enable the partition or volume, restart the computer." It still doesn't work when I restart the computer. It DOES work on my wife's laptop, so I know the drive works. I found a thread in this group that may help if I was able to communicate with either party but I have been unsuccessful: [Newsgroups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general From: Eli <E...@discussions.microsoft.com> Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2007 00:30:03 -0700 Local: Tues, Apr 10 2007 3:30 a…

Left Arrow Key Stuck (or is it?)
by Guest dotsusama@gmail.com- 0 replies
- 134 views
As the subject suggests, I have a computer that is having difficulty with the left arrow key. To be more specific, it will randomly act as if it is "stuck", but the key and keyboard itself are fine. The keyboard works in another machine with no difficulty, and other keyboards exhibit the same problem with this computer. The keyboard in question is a Logitech Media Elite keyboard ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823126178 ) and has the latest drivers for XP Pro, which I've reinstalled at least twice - the drivers, not Windows. I have nothing else installed that should affect keyboard functionality, and have made great pains to ensure any …

Issues w/ a game+power plan..I think X_x
by Guest xDiamond- 0 replies
- 366 views
Ok. I play MapleStory. And I always AFK on it and leave it running. And, I never had issues til recently. I goto bed or whatever. And, I come back. My screen is black. And I move my mouse and my game is frozen. And I gotta reboot. I change my power plan so it never shuts my monitor off(I'm using a desktop PC) but somehow the power plan resets? And it's set at 20mins again X_x It's quite annoying. Any solution for this? I tried finding one. I'm not even entirely sure what the issue is. T_T Any help would be nice. I'm using Vista Home Premium and a HP Pav desktop. Thanks in advance.

MS Natural Media Keyboard Button Issue
by Guest No.Thanks@Here.com- 0 replies
- 723 views
I have remapped one of the buttons on my keyboard (the Messenger one) to start a program that I use daily during work. I have Vista 64 Ultimate and the latest MS keyboard software installed, btw, but every time I boot up or come out of sleep mode this button won't work unless I start the keyboard app and then close it. Then it will start the program until it goes into sleep mode or reboots. Quite annoying. The other buttons for Internet and Email work just fine with the alternates to MS's stuff that I use but not this custom configured one. Anyone have any ideas or is it up to Microsoft to resolve? Thanks for your help. Avatar

WinXP Search cannot find .xls files that are opened

It seems that when excel has a file opened, the WinXP search cannot find it. If you close the file in excel, WinXP suddenly sees it again. Is there any way to search for files, whether or not they're opened in Excel?

70 Times Better Than the Next Microsoft By Bill Barker July 5, 2007 2 Recommendations I recently found this chart from the ever-helpful moneychimp.com: Value Growth Large Cap 12.4% 9.6% Small Cap 15.4% 9.2% Those are historical returns from 1927 to 2005, not adjusted for inflation. The terms "value" and "growth" are taken from data from Fama and French, whose work is highly respected. That's a persuasive case for putting small-cap value stocks to work in your portfolio. (We'll get to just how persuasive later.) And you've probably seen plenty of other data showing that small caps outperform large caps and value outperforms…

Problem setting printers on W2K3 R2 Server
by Guest Mark- 0 replies

I am having a problem setting up printers on my future print server. I have tried to use DLC, but it never installed as expected (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=f5a88f75-4e05-4fba-bf13-2cd53d023786&displaylang=en), and never gave me DLC as a port type when configuring the printers. When I go into the properties of the LAN connection under Network Connections, it lists DLC Protocol as an installed item, but that is about the extent of it. Any ideas what I should do or try? Mark
