AskWoody LoungerCan you explain how your friend use spell check in Notepad? I’m asking because the only way I know is to copy all text to Word, and after spell check is complete, copy it back to Notepad. Maybe his procedure to do spell check causing the problem.

AskWoody LoungerWoody’s reccomendation was against installation SP2 (Service Pack 2), that includes Outlook e-Mail Security Update. Installation of SR1 or SR1a (Service Release 1 or 1a) Patches is strongly reccomended.

At the end of June 2003, Microsoft will end support for Windows 98, NT and 2000 (one more year of “limited support” announced). For details see http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1003-200-58572…tml?tag=rltdnws

AskWoody LoungerDid you try simply export all your personal files? Go to File | Import and Export | Export to a file | Personal folder (.pst) and from dialog box choose all folders you want to export, name and locaton of PST file you want expotrt to, etc. On another computer (or logon) choose File | Import and export | Import from file, etc.

AskWoody LoungerDid you try to uninstall unwanted driver? Boot to Safe Mode (pressing F8 during boot process) and from Control Panel | Add New Hardware delete the driver you don’t need. By the way, Windows keeps copies of critical files in System32dllcache folder.
It is always recommended when you want to remove a piece of hardware, uninstall the driver first, and only then shut down the system and physically remove the device. -

AskWoody LoungerClick Start | Run and type:
control.exe tweakui.cpl
Hit Enter
(It also works in any .cpl files). Another shortcut to Control Panel is in My Computer folder on Desktop. Was it deleted also? -

AskWoody LoungerUnfortunately, not. Error message appears after download and attempt to install the update. Steps from the article make no changes. Thank you anyway.

AskWoody LoungerI also had problems with graphics in the table on my web page.
My suggestion: in HTML code, declare cells dimension in percent rather then in pixels, i.e.width=”25%”… rather then width=”135″… -

AskWoody LoungerYes.
SYLK Update was released 21/28/99 in xl8p9pkg.exe Patch, that upgraded Excel to version 8.0g.
You installed xl8p10pkg.exe, that included all previous fixes. -

AskWoody LoungerUnfortunately, Accessibility Options in Win2k are ON by default, even if nothing is checked in its Control Panel. For example, try to hit Shift 5 times and see what’s happen. Activate Sounds option in Accessibility – you’ll hear warning sound if you accidently hit shortcut combination.
