Well with Office 2003 the problem comes from other disk cleaning programs deleting opa11.bak, deleting that file will cause some programs to request the Office 2003 install CD, I suspect some programs need a file *.dll, or *.ocx that's normally installed by Office to run, prime example being mscomctl.ocx. I don't know if opa11.bak exists in other versions of Office or if it does what the actual name would be, however Office 2003 installs it into: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\OFFICE\DATA\ For Office 2003 the following two files should be left alone and not deleted: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\OFFICE\DATA\ * opa11.dat * opa11.bak

If only the likes of the FBI, and/or Interpol would nab them, take their computers, make it illegal for any of them to ever own a computer again, and finally put them in a prison cell so deep their meals would have to be catapulted to them.

I'd like to know what hacking they did to the screenshot or something else as it doesn't list the version after CCleaner.com on the upper left, and the Tools button on the upper right is no longer there.

I'd also have to recommend ZoneAlarm for the same reason as already stated by rridgely - its ease of use, however my recommendation ends with version 5.5.094.000, and here's why. Every third-party software-based firewall I've ever tested have bugs in them I've been able to find, it's just a question of "can you live with the bugs." There's also another thread with firewall discussion labeled: What type of Firewall do you use?

Uncheck the Office XP option of cleaning it, and see if that helps to avoid reinstalling it.

I also had what sounds like the same thing a couple of years ago, however it was with Office 2003. I could only find one solution to end the annoyance which was to copy the whole CD to it's very own unique folder on the hard disk. --------------- Try this: 1. Insert the needed CD into your CD drive. 2. Open Notepad and input the next two lines: MD "C:\Backup Dell Installed Programs" XCOPY /I /H /E /V "E:\*.*" "C:\Backup Dell Installed Programs\" Note: Replace E: with your actual CD drive letter. 3. Save the file on the desktop as (use the quotation marks): "Copy CD.bat" 4. Double-click Copy CD.bat, it will now automatically copy all of the contents including hidden and system files from the CD to: C:\Backup Dell Installed Programs 5. Do whatever it was you were doing to cause the needed CD dialog to happen again, if it asks for a source or allows you to select a new source select the folder: C:\Backup Dell Installed Programs If the dialog allows you to select the new source you shouldn't see a prompt to insert that particular CD again. Note: If for some reason this doesn't work you can delete the folder.

Knowing MS I wouldn't doubt if there's some remnants left over in the registry, and even possibly on the disk. To say a restore point isn't needed you'd have to use a program to watch the installation (InCtrl5, System Mehanic, Total Uninstall, etc.), and then compare the results after removal.

You need to supply more info: - OS version - A screenshot of the problem

Although IE has many problems, the most of which I see as security issues I still find it necessary to occassionally use it when a site won't work with my other two installed browsers Mozilla Suite, and Opera. Anyways, this thread isn't about IE's rendering or failings, it's about configuring IE to display similiarly to FF.

I think detected devices are stored in a file on the hard disk, however I'm not completely sure. Sounds like you need a computer technician.

You should still create a system restore point beforehand, and a known good registry backup using ERUNT, that way all of IE 7 beta can be removed.

So you don't get countless spam from spambots I'd highly recommend that both above posts have the email address edited out.

I've seen bad page rendering happen in every web browser I've ever used; IE, Mozilla Suite, Netscape, and Opera. Too many site's I've seen rely upon a WYSIWYG program which doesn't necessarily end up being "what you see is what you get." It's too bad that site designer's have to do so many hacks, or have more than one version of a page just to make a site viewable for all browsers which is sometimes futile since not all browsers will be able to display the page correctly.

Yeah really annoying, just take me to the main page.

There should be a readme file on the CD disc, or in the downloaded setup files that will detail which supported operating systems it can be used on.

Who knows if it's legal, it was leaked out of the test group. I wouldn't download any MS software that is so intertwined with the OS from any website even if it's a trusted download service or not, I'd only use Microsoft Downloads, Microsoft Update, or Windows Update. More than likely it will install over IE6, therefore for system stability avoid it until it's finalized and is made available from Microsoft Downloads, Microsoft Update, or Windows Update. There's also some discussion about it here, on a different forum.

Then use a search engine and search for eBook creator, or eBook compiler.

I don't exactly remember the metriod title, you're asking me to go back ten or more years in remembering something that's nothing more than a vague memory. I just remember playing the game so much and fighting countless hordes of aliens. Speaking of SNES, I still have my original one wrapped in a plastic bag it's so old the plastic has a non-removable yellowish discolouration to it. Although I have the system I did however sell all the working games in a yard sale and the rest to Bresoftware.com. Ah nostalgia for a 20+ years gamer. I can't even remember how many systems and how many games I've owned, and how many thousands of dollars I spent on them and will only be doing it all over again with the release of the next systems.

That'll be a decision for the both of us come next year when our EZAV trial's end.

There's another thread here about the same subject that "may, or maynot help."

SouceForge.net search.

Sounds cool. I haven't played a Metroid game since the original and really wanted to play a next-gen one with powerful graphics and sound, but I wasn't interested in buying a new Nintendo system just to play one, or maybe a handful of games.

The FF screenshot looks like it's using either Arial, Tahoma, or Verdana, or something similiar. The IE screenshot looks like it using Times New Roman, which isn't the best for reading. Open Firefox and find out what font it's using then: Right click the IE desktop icon -> select properties -> click Fonts Use the font Firefox says it's using, or use a different similiar font. You may have to play with various fonts, etc. Also after you select the font you may have to: In IE click: View -> Text Size -> Select a font size.

First I thought what the hay and gave it a try, that was around 3PM. To my surprise I was still playing with it at 8PM.

Personally I would telephone Dell's tech support for help since our suggestions are a complete dead end. A Dell search I did: CD drive does not work
