PC & MAC CLINIC - On line problem solving. (CPU)

UD does generate a lot of disk activity, one of the reasons I also wouldn't recommend using it on a laptop unless you're pretty much through with it.

Has anyone experience of automating the response on a web page
i.e. event 1 - mimic left click on button "A"; event 2 mimic left click on button "b"?

I have been able to navigate the way through a particular web site but I am stumped on one page that has two input type = "image" src=button1.gif name=but1 and src=button2.gif name=but2

From my research I am assuming that the handling next_process.asp will check for a non empty value of the x and/or y coordinates of the left mouse click on the relevant button image (but1.x<>nil or but2.x<>nil)

Does any one know how to generate this in VB? The .Click method does not seem to accept any parameters.

I have asked this on www.experts-exchange.com which has been a very rich source of help previously, but no luck this time.

Cheers.Think i asked you last time:-)

Have just been looking at the new Google Search Tool for one's own computer.

I wasn't too sure about the following message which is a tickable choice after download:

[]"Enable search over secure web pages (HTTPS)
Google Desktop Search will store secure web pages that you view and make them searchable."

Any thoughts?

If it's installed on a shared computer you are able to use it to view every yahoo type email sent or read by anyone using the PC I believe! I think it logs all the temp internet files in the cache and AOL Instant Messenger chats ?
That might cause a few divorces!

Kayak - 07 Mar 2005 16:45 - 3046 of 11003

Well it depends what secure web pages you access, DocProc. I guess bank statements etc. would become searchable and perhaps viewable by someone who knew where to find them amongst the Google files. Not sure it would be particularly useful, and it is a possible security risk.

i have a problem with WORD,
cannot see a pasted picture or word art in the box,but when in print preview it is there,looks like the pictures or word art text is hiding in the background,
not used WORD for a long time so a bit rusty,

many thanks

Ive got bastard probs with NIS 2005. I want to uninstall the WHOLE lot.But there are still residues left when i do. Works fine normally just a wee prob. but cant re-install clean and dont want to format. Yet!

Kayak - 09 Mar 2005 23:05 - 3049 of 11003

scussy, I also know very little about Word but I recently had the same problem which turned out to be that the image was too big for Word to handle correctly (although it printed fine).

brianboru - 09 Mar 2005 23:38 - 3050 of 11003


Iain - I used this when a friend had problems - it more or less worked ;-(

Situation:
You have come to this document because:
--You tried to uninstall Norton Internet Security or Norton Personal Firewall 2005 from Windows 2000 or XP using Windows Add/Remove Programs and the uninstall failed....................etc.

If you look on the Norton site, they should have a removal tool. It's probably well hidden.

scussy - 10 Mar 2005 04:08 - 3052 of 11003

my WORD problem is ok now,it was in the settings,

my father needs to update nortons anti-virus and firewall,is it best to upgrade to internet securirt 2005 or just follow the prompts in NAV update page,

Iain is there a problem with 2005,why do you want to delete it,

kernow - 10 Mar 2005 07:19 - 3053 of 11003

grrr.. going round in circles with my G604T DSL router trying to WEP security enable my connection. XP says do it using a USB device - no USB port on the router! Manually doing it fails. Many posts on this topic some way back I recall which I can't find.

Optimist - 10 Mar 2005 09:50 - 3054 of 11003

This is not a model I have used but you should be able to configure it over the wireless link or through a direct ethernet connection. For configuring wireless security, it is best to use the ethernet connection where possible in case you can't reconnect to wireless once the security is enabled.

If all of your wireless devices support 801.11g then use WPA-PSK security rather than WEP as WEP can be easily cracked.

Before you start, make sure that your router has the latest firmware update installed.

Iain - 10 Mar 2005 10:41 - 3055 of 11003

Whats the difference between Hex and String Re WPA PSK Security?

Spaceman - 10 Mar 2005 11:19 - 3056 of 11003

Iain, can you post a bit more detail? I dont use wireless but I think you are asking about serurity settings for a wireless router but I cant see the context from your question. What product what, setting?

Spaceman - 10 Mar 2005 11:21 - 3057 of 11003

Iain, I shoudl have said in basic computer terms hex is the numbers 0-9 and the letters a to f, and strings are any characters.

But I think you know that !

Optimist - 10 Mar 2005 11:33 - 3058 of 11003

Iain

Wireless security is based on Hex strings which are a series of numbers which can contain characters 0 - 9 or A -F. The string value is a string containing normal characters from which your Hex string is automatically generated.

The best way is to generate a random Hex string and use that as it will be unguessable.

If you want to generate a Hex string, then paste this formula into Excel (in a continuous line)


=CHOOSE(INT(RAND()*16)+1,"0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","A","B","C","D","E","F")&CHOOSE(INT(RAND()*16)+1,"0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","A","B","C","D","E","F")

There are neater ways of doing this, but it will generate a 2 character Hex String. Copy it to the right to get a longer one.
