Uninstalling Word

Posted: 08 Nov 2005 06:15 PM PST


I am not surprised that it did not work. Using ones d*** only increases
problems. Population goes up, std increases, VD increases etc etc.

You will be wise to use Microsoft's cleanup utility for office 2000 to
see if that works. Don't insert anything in your floppy - not even your
d***.

Essentials S&T 2006, like 2005 before it, has GPS support.

Essentials does not have Driver guidance funtionality.

This button, which is present, announces that the feature is
unavailable in the Essentials version, and then offers links to
www.microsoft.com/streets or www.microsoft.com/autoroute
to learn how to upgrade to the full version of this product

Posted: 06 Nov 2005 11:58 PM PST

Hi Kevin,
What a relief! Thank you for clarifing this for me. I was planning on
building a functional office program, for use at home and on a laptop, based
on the "Expanding Database" theory.(Theory for me.)
I have Windows 95 with Works 4.5, and Word 97, and I have another new
computer with Windows XP and Works 8, with some version of Word, and a 60 day
trial for Office 2005, or 2003. Anyway, I'm still using 95 because I never
really completely set-up the XP computer yet. And I never went that far with
Works 4.5 either, as far as making a functional "Office Program" with it, but
the need arises, so I'm back trying to combine tasks. The "Note-it" feature
in 4.5 is real nice, and sorely missed in Works 8.
Thank you again!
Bill

Saved word documents are not listed in history

Posted: 04 Nov 2005 01:07 PM PST

Perhaps because it hasn't been opened enough times. Microsoft History
features, in general, tend to need 2 or more openings (hits) before they get
on the history ladder. Then they also need to be within the top 20 for
example. So if your new doc is opened once, as opposed to the top doc that
has been opened 100 times for example, it will take a while for you to see it
on the history list. This is the case with windows START menu (pin) feature,
so I guess it could be applying to Works
etc.

File converters don't appear to be working

Posted: 03 Nov 2005 10:40 PM PST

Hi Bill,

"All files (*.*)" and "Recover text from any file (*.*)" in the "Files of
type" dropdown both display all files for the Look in folder. The
difference is with "All files (*.*)" when opening a file in which there is
no converter installed gibberish is displayed. However, using "Recover text
from any file (*.*)" will display all the text in that file.

a file needed to run Windows is missing

Posted: 02 Nov 2005 12:32 PM PST

Also, found to help is:

1) Click on Start-> Run -> and type Regedit in the box

2) Double click on:
Hkey_Local_Machine >System >CurrentControlSet >Services >Vxd

3).Right click on Vshinit.vxd folder and delete it.

4) Close the registry editor.

5). Re-boot the computer

6) Windows should now be fine again.

Kevin, thanks a bunch. With the link you gave for where that file is located
in various sources, I was able to find it in the named .CAB file on the Works
Suite 2005 CD1, extract it, replace the file in Windows\System, and install
Word 2002. I'm not sure why the installation process didn't extract and
replace it originally, but all's well that ends well. Thanks again.

works database transfer

Posted: 31 Oct 2005 08:18 PM PST

Did you use the built-in WAB address book or create a data base?

The WAB file format is supported by Outlook Express and can be directly
opened by just double clicking the WAB file.

If you made a custom Works data base, then you'll need a version of
Works to open the file and do a Save Sa to another format that you
handle with your current software.
