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!

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).

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,

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.

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

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.

DocProc - 10 Mar 2005 11:48 - 3059 of 11003

I've just copied that to the right another nine times making ten pairs in total.

This is the result:

Spaceman - 10 Mar 2005 11:54 - 3060 of 11003

being extreemly pedantic, O's script with generate Psuedo Random strings, this will not matter at all in this context but in the world of high security it certainly would. To generate true random string you have to use far more exotic methods such radioactive decay detectors.

Iain - 10 Mar 2005 12:27 - 3061 of 11003

Its on A DSL-G04T Wireless,Tim i didnt know! :)
Ive never used EXCEL.Have it.Any chance of an idiots guide.
Use WEP at mo.Just worried its not secure enough

When i insert a CD I am unable to see any file names (all files selected) i have a DVD and a CD drive in the PC and it is the same on both drives and i have tried known good CD's
Any thoughts ?

DocProc - 10 Mar 2005 12:40 - 3063 of 11003

Perhaps you are only looking for particular file types?

For instance, if you are looking for '.xls' file types, then you wouldn't see any of those either, would you? Your list would be blank.

Optimist - 10 Mar 2005 12:45 - 3064 of 11003

Iain

Have what sort of wireless clients are you using?
Do they all support 802.11g or have you got some old ones that only use 801.11b?

NickB - 10 Mar 2005 12:47 - 3065 of 11003

DOC
I believe i have 'all files selected' but have tried others, i just get nothing but the disk name and total size.

Iain - 10 Mar 2005 12:48 - 3066 of 11003

I wish i knew how to find that out
hang on it says fully 802.11b/g compatable

Dont know what "Wireless client" means.Sorry
