If you are displaying an excel document, or another office document on the screen showing the sales figures, such as a powerpoint file. Have that document link to an excel file, rather than it being the live document. That way it will get it's stats from a document that you can have open on...

I will get straight to the point. You ain't covered, you need to buy a new one. PS. I work in Brummy land

This sounds like a college/school project question to me. So I will leave you to Google further to get the answers, as I don't think I should be supplying the answers to you. Unless you can provide more details, I will be sticking to my assumption, that you are trying to get us to answer the...

What size power supply do you have, and can it handle the card. Could you also provide the beep codes that the system provides you with.

The screen goes into power save mode usually when it has no video output going to it. Try connecting it HDMI to HDMI and see if you get the same problem. As either your graphic displayport or monitor displayport ( or the cable), could be faulty.

For PC or laptop I would always say go for a windows machine. They are by far better value for money, and if you buy a PC or laptop for the same price as the apple counterpart you get better hardware in the windows machine. I personally and professionally do not see a need for any apple...

Go old school and use blue tac. It does work :)

Run some recovery software on the memory stick, such as easeus or r-studio. This may help fin a pervious or temp version of the file. You could also try a word recovery application. These usually recover the basic text, without formatting. If you know what you are doing with XML you could try...

Could be a faulty port. May have been a corrupt driver, and when you swapped port, Windows would detect it as new hardware, so would install a fresh driver for the port/drive.

You can't transfer the licence, soblegally you can't do this. But yes you can swap out hard drives, I have never encountered an issue since windows 7 was released. I just make sure all the manufacturers drivers are removed before placing it in another computer.

You could buy a VPN server on ebay, you should be able to pick one up very cheap. Or setup a VPN server via a VM, there are a few free VPN server apps, such a freelan, although I can't remember if that does ipsec. But it could give you a starting point, by setting up a virtualized environment.

The XP machines go on our network, and have internet access. They are a major security risk. We are aware of this and can do nothing about it. The rail industry used to be owned by the government, and is now a private franchise industry, so it becomes complicated, especially when finding...

We still use XP at work, but only on a handful of laptops. I can't remember when we last had to image one, but I have a feeling the image is already activated. It may be end of life, but I would have thought they would still allow XP to activate, as some companies still need it for compatibility...

I buy lots of stuff like that, and not just IT stuff. As far as I am concerned as long as I get the same warranty as a new item and it is not dead on arrival. Then it is a good item I built my gaming PC with 90% used/returned items, and built a good rig, and saved about 30%. Meaning I got a...

I believe they are providing alternative advice on how to get additional performance out of a computer, without potentially bricking the device.
