View 4 RepliesMicrosoft was set to announce Thursday that it would make the
interchangeable document format of a competitor available in its own
market-leading Office 2007 software during the first half of 2009.
The company, under pressure from European regulators, national standards
organizations and its own government clients, said it planned to give
customers the ability to open, edit and save documents in Open Document
Format - the main competitor to Word - through a free update.
If you run Microsoft Windows, you owe it to yourself to try these 10 killer open source apps -- InfoWorld's top picks By Randall C. Kennedy. To many, free open source software and Microsoft Windows seem to be mutually exclusive. After all, the open source development model is most closely associated with the Linux OS and, to a lesser degree, various Unix derivatives. So when you mention the two together, you often get some rather strange looks. This is a shame because there exists a growing landscape of compelling free and open source solutions just waiting for the intrepid Windows user
View 7 Replies View RelatedI can get the right click drop down menu's 'View source' to always open a web page in MS Frontpage instead of Notepad? This is when I have a web page of a site I'm working with open on my screen in IE7. I use Windows Vista Home Premium. You could easily achieve this with WinXP using TweakUI but I don't know how to do it in Vista. Reason I want to do this is because the 'Edit with' button at taskbar at top of screen always greys out after any refresh of the page. Is there a registry tweak would let me fix this? Prefer not to have to install an entire tweaking program just for this one change.

The Go-News menu function in Outlook 2007 on Vista Home Premium SP1 will NOT call any other newsreader other than Windows Mail, even when the other news reader is set as default.(Ie it opens when external news links are clicked).This is in direct contradiction to Outlook 2007 on XP.
Hey guys, I was curious does counter-strike source run in 64bit? (uses all 8gb of memory i have).
Does anyone know a website that shows all like programs that can run on 64 bit?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI've downloaded and installed Windows Live Mail because some of the 'features' in Outlook Express don't work in Windows Mail. I'll elaborate if needed. I was disappointed with Live mail as it doesn't provide me with the ability to edit the 'source' like OE or Windows Mail does; at least I wasn't able to find it. Seems to me that Live works more like Outlook Mail than Outlook Express.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently received a new computer for Christmas and it runs a lot better than my old one. First thing I did was download CS:S and ARMA II, two games that I couldn't play on my old computer. At first Counter-Strike was running fine, but after I downloaded ARMA it began to have little connection hiccups which have screwed me over more than once. Then those hiccups became more frequent until eventually I could only stay in a room for about 2 minutes (1 round) before it would give me the WARNING: Connection Problem text. Then it seemingly fixes itself, only everyone on the map is invisible to me but they can still kill me. I try leaving and rejoining, and that fixes the invisibility problem, but the cycle just happens all over again. My ping is usually around 44 and I have a 5.71 Mbps down/ .42 up connection. I also have an Xbox 360 and a PS3, which I also play regularly and rarely get connection problems on those consoles. this is extremely frustrating to deal with and I'm trying to get into competitive pc gaming. I highly doubt that it's my connection, because the internet works fine on everything else, even ARMA II.

View 8 Replies View RelatedWe are looking for a software or add-in that can be installed within Vista Mail and that would automatically identify the country of origin of each email received... for example by showing a small country flag icon beside each incoming email within our mailbox.
We need to quickly filter spam and competitor emails from certain countries. At present, we do it manually by copy pasting the header of a suspicious mail into a website online that looks up the country of origin for us. So we would like to know of any add-in that automates this process, paid or otherwise, or any alternatives that people are using for this kind of problem.
Nearly all sleep problems are caused by devices that are set to be able to wake the computer back up again.They can wake your computer instantly, randomly, or can cause your computer not to fully enter sleep mode and even cause it never to wake up. If you have any problems similar to the ones described then the following could be your cure.
Advanced Users: Check the system event log. The "power-troubleshooter" source will tell you what woke it up out of sleep. If it says "Wake Source: Unknown" Its most likely to do with step 3.
1) Disable Vista's multimedia sharing option from restricting sleep:
Type 'power options' in the start menu and press enter->Choose 'Balanced' -> 'Change plan settings' (for the chosen power plan) -> 'Change advanced power settings' -> Scroll down to 'Multimedia settings' -> Choose 'Allow the computer to sleep'
2) Prevent Devices from being able to wake your computer.
Type 'device manager' in the start menu and press enter
-> Expand 'Keyboards' -> Right click 'properties' on your keyboard -> 'Power Management' tab -> Deselect 'Allow this device to wake the computer' -> OK ,..............
When I click "View" while composing a new e-mail message in windows mail the only three options that I get are:
- Cc and Bc
- Status bar
- Customize toolbar
there is no "Edit source" option. What could be the problem? Does Windows Mail have this feature at all?
Using Vista Home Premium with SP1. I cannot open a .dat file and cannot set an association to open it because .dat is not listed in the Set Association menu. How do I get .dat listed so that I can set an association to it?
View 9 Replies View RelatedOutlook 2007 installed,and working fine. I needed to open winmail and found that it did not open. Found it running in taskman, but there is no winmail program window available.
I have tried:
1)delete winmail reg entries
2)delete winmail storage folders
3)rename winmail.exe file....
None of the above worked. Specifically, the results of points above:
1)started winmail after deleting reg entries,just remade them,is all.
2)ditto for point 2
3)nothing happens when double click renamed winmail.exe...
I dont want to use another program. I needed to visually advise someone about adding signatures,but winmail did not start. Yes I could do an internet search, but that is not the point-winmail is broken somehow and I wish to fix it.
When I boot up in the morning, I have to wait 20 to 30 mins before Outlook 07 will connect to my Exchange 2003 server. Until then, when I try to open Outlook it says, cannot open the default e-mail folders. And it suggests there is a network issue or that the Exchange server is down. These are not the case. The Exchange server is up and there are no network issues. I have many other computers attached to the network and none of them have this issue. Some our XP Pro/Office 07, some are XP Pro/Office 2003. The big difference with my machine is that it is Vista.
After about 20 to 30 minutes, wow! it connects! And then it's good for the rest of the day. I usually only minimize Outlook after I actually get it open so the connection is maintained throughout the day. I'm not sure what would happen if I closed it completely. But one thing is for sure, every morning, it takes 20 to 30 minutes before it will connect. Eventually, it always connects.
I cannot open any ttf.

Have an e-machine Vista Home Basic. About a week ago, I could not open WMP any more by just clicking the icon. I found that I could right click it and open with 'run as administrator'. At the same time I could no longer open Napster. It told me I didn't have a recent version of WMP, which I do. I have McAfee installed and I can no longer see the menu when I click that icon. Also had issues with internet explorer. Problems that I don't have with Moxilla.
I found that if I turn off User Account Control that all works fine. Of course I get a warning for not having that on. The real kicker is that none of these problems occur on my guest account even with UAC on. I've been searching Google and came upon this forum. Do I need to change a setting somewhere?
I could not open the attached files(PDF, DOC, PPT, DWG, etc...) in Window Mail directly from the paper clip icon drop down menu. However it can be opened after saving the attachement to other folders like desktop. The error message like this : The path or file name of "C:windowssystem32oooo.doc(or pdf, ppt, etc..) " is incorrect. please check the path of file name Sometime the path is "c:program filesahnlabooo.doc" Because I'm using the MS Office(Korean version), the error message is translated in english. (My poor english...^^)
I tried to search the solution. but I can't it anywhere. (Many people suggest a docfix or to reassociate the application program.)In my opinion, it is not concern with an application program(like word, powerpoint, acrobat...). It's just the problem of windows mail. Maybe the registry about windows mail seems to be changed.
I have an odd problem in a 64 bit Vista system involving IE8. It appears in the Start Menu but Firefox is Default because IE has been playing up for a while. Now the user has a DRM issue in Media Player 11 and I urgently need to get IE working as Firefox cannot download the required files. When I open IE it immediately throws an error message and closes down. I go to uninstall it and get a fresh download and it fails even to appear in Control, Panel>Program etc. I try to delete the IE8folder or parts thereof and am told I dont have sufficient rights to do that. I throw in an IE8-WindowsVista-64-ENU.exe file from a flash drive and am told it cannot be installed in this system, despite it appearing to be the right file.
The really odd thing is that it works perfectly when calling down Updates and as long as it does that, there's no need to fix it but this DRM issue implies the music files have been ripped or copied more than five times. I'm assured that isn't the case but they have just been copied from an older laptop to this new one. I've copied the relevant Registry entry form the old machine but that hasn't fooled the system one bit. So there we are - a long sad tale but the crux is I either need suggestions as to fixing IE8 or how to fiddle Firefox to accept the WMP plug-in it doesn't seem to want to accept.
I haven't had a problem with people being able to open attachments but as of

2. I have many old graphics tutorials in HTM format which I downloaded some years ago when I was using Windows 98. They opened in Windows 98.
3. I can't open them with Vista. If I use FILE > OPEN in Internet Explorer, I get the HTML code. If I double click on the file in Windows Explorer, I get a message saying that Windows Internet Explorer is not responding.
4. I have a similar problem with HTM files which I have recently downloaded from the internet news groups. Are there some settings or updates to correct this problem.
I can't get attachments to open and I have looked under options to see if there is something blocking them but can't see anything there.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAfter updating to IE8 through normal Windows Update, I can no longer open PDF attachments in Acrobat as I could before. Message states it cannot find the file. I can save the attachment and then open with Acrobat. I have removed the IE8 update and hence reverted to original IE7. The problem is hence resolved. My guess is IE8 has somehow changed the temp file location, and hence the file cannot be found. There must be a registry pointer change that caused this. I'll keep IE7 until the group can come up with a simple fix or recommendation.
