Thanks to both for your replies - it's highlighted that, as I said, this isn't my strongest subject. I think swapping to that case will be the best move. I hadn't realised about the GPU. Am I correct in saying that the either a processor with on board graphics or a standalone graphics card is...

I watch very little live TV, but consume a lot of TV and movies via Netflix, catchup TV services and a sizeable DVD collection. I also have a selection of family footage that has been shot on a variety of devices (with varying levels of quality) over the years. I'm looking for a centralised way...

Thanks for informing me about that software. My understanding from their website and your post is that one of the main advantages is that it monitors and logs what data is written to the USB. In our environment, that wouldn't be especially pertinent, because we're a public sector organisation...

In my organisation we need to access to data outside of work hours. If we were to go down the route of USB sticks, is this an acceptable solution? Windows Bitlocker to encrypt Agreed standard for passwords Database of USB sticks and serial numbers recorded In the long term, we're hoping...

Appears to be solved. After everything that I've tried, it seems to have come down to disabling it in Device Manager, reenabling it, and then restarting Windows.

I bought a 500GB Western Digital Elements SE HDD to use with my Sony TV. It allows live TV to be recorded etc. In order to authorise this, the TV reformatted the HDD from NTFS to its own format. When this happens, the device cannot be used with Windows. I now want to use the HDD with my...

Thanks very much guys. I'll look into these suggestions.

The children would be using the iPads to shoot video and then saving it so that it can be watched back at a later date. So really the storage system would need to integrate into the camera app in the same way that iCloud does automatically and Dropbox does through auto uploading. Thanks for...

I work in a school and we have recently purchased a batch of thirty iPads and I'd like to learn more about the storage options available to us. Obviously there is iCloud, but can that be used across thirty devices? How would that need to be set up? I've seen other schools using Dropbox and...

Yes we have AD. So either they're not syncing with that, or, more likely they are sycning with that but the clock on the server is wrong. I've tried manually changing the time on my machine to the correct time, and it just reverts back later on.

We don't have an in house ICT department in my organisation and I'm pretty much responsible for liaising with external technicians. I'm fairly technical, but don't have a lot of experience with networks. The clocks on most if not all of the Windows 7 machines are wrong. My assumption was that...

I frequently use my Dell Inspiron R 5520 laptop in two locations in my house. I'm contemplating buying a second power adapter so that I can leave one in each location to save as much messing about - as it would allow me to leave both power adapters set up and ready to use. A quick look on...

I've not been able to get in touch with Dell as yet, so I'm continuing to try and solve the problem myself. I've copied and pasted the information displayed in ipconfig /all both whilst the wifi is functioning correctly and when it isn't working. I can't see any differences that are useful to...

Okay. I don't think it's anything to do with sleep because even from booting the laptop from scratch the wifi error persists. Time to look for updated/replacement drivers from the manufacturer for the wireless card? I'm also going to get in touch with Dell and see what they suggest about it...

Thanks for that. I'm half interested in the macro, but probably not enough to sway me towards the 40mm lens. Macro isn't something that I'm especially interested in. I'm satisfied with the close-up shots that I take with other lenses so either they will continue to do the job or I'll use the...

Source: http://kenrockwell.com/nikon/40mm-f28.htm Source: http://kenrockwell.com/nikon/40mm-f28.htm#comp From that it sounds to me as though the 35mm lens is the one to go for. I'm still open to ideas though.

I'm in the market for a fixed Nikkor lens in the DX format. They produce two a 35mm and a 40mm. I mostly want them for taking high quality photos of people, but maybe with the view to also taking some macro shots of flowers, plants etc. I'm finding it very difficult to decide which to...

I've put a transition onto the end of a clip on one of my layers, but have now changed my mind and want to remove it. It seems to me that this should be really simple but can't for the life of me figure it out. Google has been really unhelpful too. The closest that I've come is using either...

Right, it seemed better at first, but within the last hour the internet has cut out twice. I should not that it has just been brought back from hibernation. I'm going to try this, shutting the laptop down. Turning it back on, and seeing if the problem persists.

Looking in Computer Management (Device Manager) it appears that it is a Broadcom card. Under Network Adaptors I have four entries listed: Broadcom Virtual Wireless Adaptor Dell Wireless 1704 802.11b/g/n/ (2.4GHz) Microsoft Kernel Debug Network Adaptor Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller...

I've switched to the 'high performance' plan. We'll see what happens over the coming days. It shouldn't take too long to work out whether it has been effective or not. Thanks for your suggestion.

I've had a Dell Inspiron 15 since late 2012 and it intermittently loses the wifi connection. This happens probably around every twenty to thirty minutes, and I have found the quickest way to solve this is to disable the wifi (Fn + F2) and reenable it again. Somehow I've put up with it until now...

Thank-you.

I used the Word Macro, and this code in the batch file: start winword.exe "TestFile" /mPrintOnly_PAGE2 'TestFile' is the actual name of a file in that directory. The combination of the batch file and the Word Macro caused page 2 of every document in that directory to be printed. Thanks very...

I have forty Word documents that are all two pages long. I need to print just the second page of all of these documents. Is this possible with a small batch file? I've had no luck with Google and a quick question here is my last resort. If anybody knows off the top of their head that would be...

Thanks again for all of your posts. I'll look into your suggestions. The reason that I want the array to start counting at 1 is because it is used to store numbers that relate to questions. So I'd prefer that question number 1 is stored in value 1 in the array, to prevent me getting confused...

Thanks very much for your tips. I'll look into the link shortly. 1 and 3 make sense right away. 2) The first time I use $array[] = $value; will it set it to position 0 in the array? If so is there any way to avoid this and have it set it to position 1?

I think I may have found the (or an) answer in an unlikely place, in the form of the count function in the PHP handbook. I'm now adding to the array with this line of code. $multiplier[$current_question] = rand(1,12); It seems to be working. Is it the correct way of adding to an array...

I'm running a while loop in PHP which I would like to add variables to an array. I've googled this and searched the PHP manual extensively, and either haven't found it or haven't realised that I've found it! This is an exert from the code that I'm running: While ($current_question <=...

Thanks for your advice.

I'm interested in fairly simple chrome keying with videos, often known as green screening. I've had some success using Adobe Premiere Elements and enjoying using this software. However, for another project that I'm working on I need a lot of copies of some green screening software, on a...

Thank-you for your reply. I was intending to follow option number two, because that is the only program that is being opened by the general users. It's only me that will access the database to read and analyse entries. You are also correct that I mean I have three worksheets, rather than...

I'm working on a spreadsheet in Excel with three workbooks. The first two contain forms for the user to input data and the third displays the results and allows the results to be printed. This is working as I wish at the moment, but I would like to extend it's functionality by exporting the data...

I think I have managed to achieve it by using a different function: Sheets("Sheet2").Cells(1, 1).Value = Now Which inserts the time/date into Cell A1 on Sheet2. Thanks very much for your help PTNL and Doctah!

I've tried what I think you are telling me, but without any success. This is the line of code that is the problem. Cells(Questions!1, 1).Value = Int((12 - 1 + 1) * Rnd + 1) The name of the sheet is Questions and the cell that I want to put a value into is A1.

Thank-you very, very much. The links you provided were incredibly helpful and I feel like I've learned a lot from it. I'm more familiar with Visual Basic than Excel so I've amended the code you provided to loop so that it fills out 50 cells from a couple of lines of code. Private Sub...

Actually, scratch that... Turning off Automatic Calculation actually does throw some of the other parts of my spreadsheet out. I think that's the reason I was having problems with my code above.

To tell you the truth, I'm not sure. Until you posted that I had convinced myself that RandomNumber was a function built into Excel, but it isn't. I'm not sure what's going on there to be honest. I've tried quite a few different things from various Google searches today, and I've got myself a...

The random numbers are currently being stored in their own cells. For example the code in A1 is =RandomNumber(1,12) and the only value in the cell itself is '10'. I'm not sure how this helps me control when the cell value is reconsidered though?

I'm using Excel for a project that I'm working on and want to generate random numbers between two values. Ideally I would like Excel to regenerate these values each time time a specific command is issued, such as pressing a particular key or some kind of button. I've attempted this using two...
