    Same thing happened to me not too long ago. Advanced System Care 5 turns RDC services off when Turbo Boost is activated

    Good luck!

    Try using a telnet session instead. Open a command prompt window and telnet to that IP. If you connect, you should be able to access the CLI.

    I’m guessing whomever you purchased it from set it to 10.0.0.1 because the default configuration on a 2950 is to have no IP address at all. You should have received a console cable with the switch which is what you should be using for intial configuration. If you didn’t get a console cable with the switch contact the seller and ask for one. The console cable is a flat light blue cable with an RJ45 connector at one end and a DB9 (serial) connector at the other.

    A console cable will give you access to the CLI as well regardless of whether it’s configured with an IP address.

    It’s been a couple years since I looked at the http interface on a 2950 but if memory servers me, all it does is open a web page that gives you an entry field for entering CLI commands. So, not really worth bothering with.

    Try the telnet session first, but you definitely want to have a proper console cable as well. If the seller doesn’t have one, contact cisco or a cisco dealer near you.

    As to what’s wrong, whoever owned it before you must have deleted the web page interface off of the switch. You might be able to fix that once you access the CLI but as I said, it’s not really worth it.

    It matters not how straight the gate,
    How charged with punishments the scroll,
    I am the master of my fate;
    I am the captain of my soul.

  5. System Restore should be tried before thinking about a clean boot. See here:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/...That's assuming you can get to "Safe Mode with Command Prompt" (most likely you can) - it should be on the list after tapping F8..Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks

    Thanks again,

    I now have a different solution.

    In Excel I created the following macro:

    Sub mythos()
    Shell “CMD /C D:\Mine\Arkham_Horror\Mythos\rand.cmd”, vbNormalFocus
    End Sub

    In the rand.cmd file, I added two extra lines at the top:

    d:
    cd Mine\Arkham_Horror\Mythos

    The lines change drive and then directory, then the script runs.

    When I run the macro, a randomised jpg is opened – voila!

    I can now run this marco via a command button.

    Next steps:

    Instead of simply opening the jpg, i want it instantiated into the spreadsheet (or visio drawing), and at a spcific location…..
