    So then you are sure you are talking about a BIOS password.

    So when you try to enter the BIOS (setup) you get this empty box?

    Then first check the settings and mark down the values for the ones you don’t understand so you can reset them the same. Then clear the CMOS with the jumper or motherboard battery removal. This procedure must be done with the power to the motherboard completely off. Some board manufacturers even instruct to disconnect the 20/24 pin power connector from the PSU.

    After clearing the CMOS you must immediately enter the BIOS on the next boot to reset the values as needed.

    That should rid you of the password prompt.

  3. Try an external monitor to determine if the issue is the laptop screen or the graphics chip. If the external monitor does NOT display correctly the problem is internal and can't be repaired. If it is the laptop screen you can replace it. It appears that laptop is at least 5 or 6 years old. ProbablyRead more

    Try an external monitor to determine if the issue is the laptop screen or the graphics chip. If the external monitor does NOT display correctly the problem is internal and can’t be repaired. If it is the laptop screen you can replace it.

    It appears that laptop is at least 5 or 6 years old. Probably not worth the cost of screen replacement.

    Have you tried shutting down completely and restarting?

  4. Most devices that require a driver when installed include a CD with the driver(s) on it. You pop it in the optical drive and it should autostart. If not then you go to Computer and double click on your optical drive. For thin notebooks and netbooks without an optical drive, you can either use an extRead more

    Most devices that require a driver when installed include a CD with the driver(s) on it. You pop it in the optical drive and it should autostart. If not then you go to Computer and double click on your optical drive. For thin notebooks and netbooks without an optical drive, you can either use an external optical drive or go to the device mfg’s web site and download it. It is usually under Support>Downloads>Drivers but you may have to look around a bit for it.

    You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.

  5. That is called a hub. You need to run a USB cable from the computer to the monitor and they should work. They will probably run at USB 1.1 speeds, which is fine for a mouse.I checked the specs for that monitor and they don't mention any USB ports. Are you sure they are present?

    I checked the specs for that monitor and they don’t mention any USB ports. Are you sure they are present? Does mention a security slot, which is a place to fasten a cable to prevent theft.

    And the script I provided you above does not work? If so what is the error you are getting?

    Are you still having DNS issues with the script? If so did you try Response Number 4 to refresh the cache?

    “was that is got the information from the DNS server with the last known IP address and didn’t accurately tell me that the machine wasn’t available”

    Can you explain this? Do you want to get a list of IPs to ping from the DNS server? Is that the issue?

    Simply define exactly what it is want the script to do.

    “I work on government networks and can’t use programs like that.”

    Also if you are working on a government system you should not be running scripts like this with out admin approval because they might be monitoring ICMP traffic.

    If it is just a problem of installing then try the first App, I gave you. It is stand alone and does not need to be installed. It will run just by double clicking on it.

  10. You can plot as bubble chart and either color the interior of each point or change transparency level for each point. You can also assign size to the bubbles...

    You can plot as bubble chart and either color the interior of each point or change transparency level for each point. You can also assign size to the bubbles…

    I use the following to make data point 1 solid and data point n transparent… the size of the bubbles also vary… you can modify to iterate over RGB values instead of the static black color i’ve assigned.

    k = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Count

    For j = 1 To k
    ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(j).Activate
    n = ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Points.Count

    For i = 2 To n
    ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Points(i).Select
    With Selection
    .Format.Fill.Solid
    .Interior.ColorIndex = 1
    .Format.Fill.Transparency = (1 – (n – i) / (n + i))
    End With
    Next i
