    Need some help with bypass tray settings on Xerox Workcentre 7232

    You should be able to force the paper size in the printer options - I don't know which menu option it is - I can find out tomorrow if you like or: Try the print options through your O/S (Windows I assume) it should allow you to select a tray, if that doesn't work (I've got the same issue with...

    Why is DELL Still in Business??????

    Just to play devils advocate here the main reason they are still in business imo is because they can knock out large volumes of low to mid range PC for both businesses and consumers which are perfectly adequate for everyday 'normal' tasks at a very reasonable price (have you seen their outlet...

    Win 7 / Vista

    Go into the control panel and search for "mouse", then click change mouse settings and under Pointer Options check the Snap To option. I believe this is what your looking for.

    Microsoft Access on Ipad

    That's a good idea but slightly amusingly he'll still have to have a Windows PC to make it work maybe sync with his secretary <oh err missus/> :p

    Microsoft Access on Ipad

    Watch out it's an iPad - Steve Job's will be after you :p The major problem you'll have is keeping them synced, you can't run Access on a MAC but theoretically you can use an emulator or maybe Filemaker Go (Apples iPad DB software) and a 'migrator' that can convert Access DB's to Filemaker but...

    blu ray upscaling

    Key question what screen do you have? This is critical because even with upscaling (if your screen can accept a higher than normal (i.e. PAL)) the difference may not be as much as you expect and in certain circumstances worse.

    Brain Teasers

    One of my fav's (apologies if it's already posted - in fact I might have done it myself in another thread), and a relatively easy one - remember no searching! What's the next 2 lines in this sequence?: 1 1 1 2 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 1

    Clear history (or whatever it is!) in IE8

    Yep it's a typical Microsoft 'feature', you don't actually delete the history from that location but despite it saying you can (it actually deletes your temporary internet files). Instead go to safety > delete browsing history that should get it.

    97 under Win7

    Bit of a hijack - what the problem? I've recently built an XP, Vista and Windows 7 boxes with Premier Pro 2, CS3 and CS4 in various combinations over the last 4 years. Presuming your using Windows +Adobe suite of course.

    Worst Software

    I've come across so many in my time so won't list them but the absolute worse to install drove me mad, here's a summary: Manually copy a dll to the machine (eh isn't that an installer is supposed to do) Open and install 4 installation exe's separately (why 4 and more to the point separately ?)...

    FIFA World Cup 2010

    Oh interesting - what do you think of the standard of refereeing so far ? personally there have been a few good decisions but overall I have to say it's been poor, specifically with yellow cards, they seem to be dishing them out for anything. Point proven - there's one for time wasting...

    The best FREE software thread

    How are they doing this because if they are using software you need to take admin rights away. You might also remind them that if they are doing this illegally its not (just) them breaking the law its the company. The consequences of which could be very nasty (iirc it's about $300,000 per...

    The beauty of Excel is how powerful it is, there are many 'hacks' for things like this (it's a case of thinking outside the box) Speedometer chart you might want to check this site that has loads more 'unusual' charts.

    What are these called?

    If you want a definition they are indeed protocol's and are part of the application layer of the OSI model. They essentially define which application will 'open' the file who's location is defined by the URL. The rest of the OSI model contains all the other protocol's (within layers) used to...

    QI (quite interesting)

    One of my favorite shows so yes I did know that :p There was a thread which I blatantly hijacked into a Qi quiz so a couple especially for our US cousin's: Did you know there are 46 US states not 50? Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia have the formal title of commonwealths...

    Domain issue

    Can you describe the issues ? This depends on how the network is configured if you are using DNS then yes there is going to be problems if not then traffic is routed via IP address though again it can depend on the application. JamesMcS suggestion should at least help diagnose the problem...

    BIOS POST Slow, Windows 7 Startup Hangs

    It would be unusual for the motherboard to be damaged by fitting a CPU it doesn't support but as I've posted it should be fine according to MSI's website at least. I also not sure about the PSU both CPU's are rated with the same power consumption. Of course both of these point would be mute if...

    BIOS POST Slow, Windows 7 Startup Hangs

    Well according to MSI's website your CPU is supported so firstly I would update the BIOS (after making sure it detects your new CPU of course and you've done a backup :p) clicky. I would advise not to overclock it until it's working properly first though apparently they don't overclock very well...
