Hmmm, that's interesting. I'm not all that tech savvy but I understand what you're saying. Is that easy to do? I'll look into it. Thanks.

Recently upgraded to a new pc with Office 2007. I use a specific Excel program that was originally written with Excel 5.0/7.0 I've been using this program for 10 years, with the last six using Excel 2002 with no problems. It seems that Excel 2007 is having issues with earlier versions of...

Hi, I'm looking for the best website(s) to scan for stocks making the biggest move up or down on a point-basis, not a percentage-basis. I've checked the usuals - yahoo finance, msn, cnbc, etc, and all show percentage gainers/losers. Anyone know websites that have these stats? Any...

Just reviving this thread. Seems it is the inverter board on my Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop that is causing the screed to be blacked out. I guess the inverter board runs the backlite? Anyway, opinions on how easy/cost effective it is to replace this part and have it fixed? Also, where...

Ok, got it all done! Downloaded, installed, and disabled the touchpad. Thanks for everyones help guys. Let's hope that this was truly the cause of the problem (which I think it is). Regards.

Needed to clear the cookies, now I can download it. Will let you know how it goes.

I clicked on the first option by accident (Dell manager or something). I saw the "to your internet browser" but I hit the other one by mistake and now it won't let me go back and choose the internet browser version. The one I did download can't find the application to open it and now it...

Yes, sorry, it's an Inspiron 6000. The Dimension is my desktop.

I'm using a Dell Dimension 6000 laptop. There definitely wasn't any place to disable the "tapping" function in the mouse icon within the control panel.

I'll try Hook n Sinker's suggestion.

Don't see anywhere to disable the mousepad in control panel on either the mouse icon or the keyboard icon. Any other suggestions?

I think Hayman in here has solved the problem for me. I did a little test according to what he said about the mousepad area on the laptop. Apparently, my thumb at various times is ever so slightly touching the mousepad area and causing the cursor to re-locate to a different section within my...

I'm running Win XP and an external mouse (not wireless). I still can't find the setting in control panel that someone in this forum recommended. Maybe I need to update the mouse drivers (if there are any?) Or, does anyone recommend uninstalling the mouse and re-installing? Super...

Hmmm, I went into control panel and I only see "hide pointer while typing". Is that the same thing? I already have a checkmark in that box.

Ok, here' something that's been happening for a few weeks now that I've never experienced before. As I write a lot of articles from my laptop in Word documents, or even just typing up an e-mail in Outlook Express, the mouse cursor will randomly jump to another area within the document while...

Thanks for the replies so far. It is a Dell and the warranty has certainly expired. I am running on the outlet so it is not a battery issue. Good call on the external monitor, as I guess I can hook it up that way for now. Probably time for a new laptop. Thanks again everyone.

Hoping someone knowledgeable about computers may be able to shed some light on my laptop problem. Seems that my laptop screen is almost completely blacked out but the laptop is still running. I can just barely make out my programs in the background but can't figure out why. Is there a...

The NYMEX option pits were great. It was just time for me to move on as I saw the coming of electronic trading. Instead of paying my $8k/month seat lease, I could trade off the screens for practically free and concentrate on all the options markets, not just the energies. NYMEX seat...
