A customer is working on a large professionally-done sign for our tattoo shop. We need to email them the graphic for them to cut the vinyl, but they can only work from an .eps or an .ai or a line art format. So, my question is: Where do I get these formats? How do I convert the file to send...

I've a problem with opening a particular CSV (comma-delimited text) file in Excel. One of the data column consists of alphanumeric text. However, whenever a text such as "1234E5" appears, Excel automatically converts it to a number, assuming it to be 1234x10^5. My current method of overcoming...

http://labnol.blogspot.com/2005/12/convert-doc-xls-ppt-rtf-pdf-to-html.html This came in very hand today at the public library. A patron came in with a floppy full of OpenOffice documents (file extension .sdw). We have MS Word on our public computers, but no converter installed. Using this...

The guy in this commercial looks so much like me that it freaks me out a little. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to save this clip, just so I can keep it for proof. Thanks!

I have a folder full of files, and they're all named in all caps (with a lower case file extension). I want to rename them to title case (i.e. "Like This.mp3"), and I really don't want to do it by hand as there are more than 1000 of them. Does anyone know of a (free and small) application for...

Hello. My antivirus software identified an infected file with worm/alcan.a (my other antivirus software calls it Win32.alcan.a) Is there any way to repair the file and make it usable. My AVG and ZoneAlarm antivirus seems to give me only a single option, delete it! Any other software can...

Sometimes, when viewing a .wmv file in Real player, I can use the "slider" to advance ahead - or back up - to another part of the video, and Real player will start playing from that point. Other times, if you drag the slider over, when you let go of it, it retunrs right back to where it was...

I have some rather large .wmv files, and would like to capture some stills from them. When I play the with Real Player, if I try to use PrintScreen or Alt-PrintScreen, when I paste the result into an image editor, the screen portion of the real player is black. I;m assuming this is because...

A friend emailed with this tale of woe. She has a laptop (IBM thinkpad), running XP Home. She had used it (I think via a USB stick) to download some MP3 files to her nephew's PC. Next time she started it she got a Blue Screen of Death with the message that Winsrv.dll was missing. Now how the...

What are the best file sharing sites for software? Yes, I want to do something morally unsupportable. I freely admit it. Then again, something tells me that I have come to the right place.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Most musicians and artists say the Internet has helped them make more money from their work despite online file-trading services that allow users to copy songs and other material for free, according to a study released Sunday. Recording labels and movie studios have...

compiled from mostly AP by FNC Nice wrapup, and it includes many previously discussed blurbs. I find the Ohio action interesting. These judges have circumvented the written law the day before the election. They do have a point which is that these people will clutter the process. However, once...

I recently upgraded my mother's computer to Win XP. I usually set a minimum and maximum page file size of the same size. 1 Gb in this case. When the computer reboots, it says there is no page file, and creates a temporary one. I can then set it, it asks for a reboot (as expected), then says...

I need to convert a whole bunch of postscript files to pdf. I have the program ps2pdf14 that comes with ghostscript. If I copy a ps file into the directory this program is in, then I can do the conversion from a dos prompt by typing "ps2pdf14 FILENAME.ps". It makes a new file FILENAME.pdf...

How the #@*%! did I neglect to type the word "help" in the title of this thread? Anyway, I've created a one-page poster (including images and unusual fonts) in Microsoft Word. I want the local copy shop to print it out, but when I e-mail the Word file to them, it doesn't look the same as on my...

Okay, without getting into too much detail, the company I work for has 4 branch offices that have old Novell 4.x boxes that we want to get rid of. Everyone is on XP Pro, but they're still using the Novell box for network storage. Each user has a home drive storage area on it and there is also...

The Internet is full of file sharing applications. You don't have to know the alleys and the paths of Internet like the back of your hand anymore in order to find anything you want. The latest releases of music, movies, applications, games etc. are readily available for download, sometimes even...

Democrats and Republicans agree not to file ethics charges ever again Guardian Unlimited The Hatter said, "do you see how well the new system is working? No one has done anything unethical since we stopped the committee from working." "No," cried Alice, "no investigations does not mean no...

It may be old news, but I just discovered Slyck and it explains everything in a great way. The Slyck guides on the left of the page are awesome. Check out the forums, too. I just got DSL and I feel like downloading the whole net :D

Saudi Arabia Says Valentine's Day Incurs God's Ire - Reuters Guess I won't be getting my usual Valentine from Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Abdullah al-Sheikh this year! ;)

So I tried to instal Medal Of Honour, and when I run it, it tells me that I have a debugger running that needs to be shut down. After some trawling of various fora, I find that deleting/renaming a file, amdfix.sys, in the winnt/system32 directory will fix it. I tried. It worked. So, my...

Someone's sent me a file in Clarisworks format, I think (.cwk). I don't have anything that can open it, and they're not available to resend it in a different format. Do you know of a viewer or conversion program that will work on Windows? Just to be able to extract the text would be fine...

I use Win XP Pro here at the office, and it just seems to take a looong time to delete files, and quite some time to get Windows explorer up to browse the filesystem. I've got a 2.something GHz processor and lots of memory, this shouldn't be taking as long as it does. Thoughts? Do I have some...
