  2. So your biggest problem is you're taking VBS and trying to use it as VBA. As you can clearly see, they're 33% different. I don't have easy access to Excel at the moment, but from memory, something like this?:Sub XMLFind() attributeName = "//TITLE" fullPath = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"Read more

    So your biggest problem is you’re taking VBS and trying to use it as VBA. As you can clearly see, they’re 33% different.

    I don’t have easy access to Excel at the moment, but from memory, something like this?:

    Sub XMLFind()
      attributeName = "//TITLE"
      fullPath = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") _
       .GetAbsolutePathName("Path and name to XML file here")
      Set XML = CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0")
      XML.setProperty "SelectionLanguage", "XPath"
      XML.setProperty "ProhibitDTD", False
      XML.ValidateOnParse = False
      
      If Not XML.Load(fullPath) Then
        MsgBox "Failed to parse: " & fullPath _
        & vbNewLine & XML.parseError.reason
        Exit Sub
      End If
      
      For Each Node In XML.SelectNodes(attributeName)
        Selection = Node.Text
        Selection.Offsest(1, 0).Select
      Next 'node
    End Sub

    A quick look at the specs for the motherboard shows it has onboard display adapters… So perhaps remove the add-in graphics card and connect your display monitor directly to the motherboard output? As I say earlier I’m not familiar with current boards…; but possibly you need to disable the onboard adapter manually to allow an add-in card to operate? So try to get a screen to view at least via the onboard graphics; and set the system up using that approach. Then if successful, install your add-in graphics card and follow its setup instructions carefully. See less

    Overclocking a laptop is almost always a bad idea. These systems lack just about everything necessary for safe and effective overclocking. This is well known to manufacturers who thus rarely provide the BIOS settings necessary. While it may be possible to do so the risks will be high and the results rarely satisfactory.

    Overclocking is best confined to custom built computers where you control the quality and specifications of the components used.

  9. Create A Bootable CD/DVD or USB DiscIf your system does not have a floppy drive you might wish to create a bootable CD/DVD or USB Device to use for troubleshooting or updating the BIOS.Create A Bootable CD/DVDCreating a bootable CD requires more than simply copying and burning MS-DOS files to a discRead more

    Create A Bootable CD/DVD or USB Disc

    If your system does not have a floppy drive you might wish to create a bootable CD/DVD or USB Device to use for troubleshooting or updating the BIOS.

    Create A Bootable CD/DVD

    Creating a bootable CD requires more than simply copying and burning MS-DOS files to a disc. You need software that can create a bootable CD and you need either a floppy drive or an image of a bootable floppy. A good freeware CD Burning program that will do this is CDBurnerXP Pro found here http://www.cdburnerxp.se

    But if you already have third party burning software like Nero or Easy CD Creator then download and unzip this file
    http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/too… – Actual Windows XP MS-DOS Startup floppy (Window Me based)

    It is an image of the simple boot floppy created by XP. Run Nero (or whatever third party you use) and select the option to Create Boot CD. Point to the location of the unzipped file and follow the programs procedure to burn the disc.

    Your disc will appear to be blank after it is burned but that is because the boot files are hidden. When you boot with this disc drive letter “A” will be assigned to it by the BIOS.

    If you want a more complete bootable CD that will enable CD-Rom support then use
    http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/too… – Actual Windows 98 Start-up Floppy or
    http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/too… – Windows 98 Startup floppy with a few additional tools.

    Create Bootable USB device

    Creating a bootable USB device is a bit different than creating a bootable CD/DVD. First your BIOS must support booting from a USB Device. If you BIOS does not support this option then you will not be able to do so. Check your motherboard manual and also check the manufacturer’s site. If the BIOS doesn’t currently support the option there might be an update form the manufacturer that enables it.

    To learn how to boot a USB Device take this link http://www.pcstats.com/articleview…. and carefully follow the instructions given.

    Make certain you download the Windows-based Format Utility for HP Drive Key or DiskOnKey USB Device tool found here http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/f…

    You will need system files to copy to the device. Download, unzip and point to one of these Windows Boot floppy files found here http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/too… – Actual Windows XP MS-DOS Startup floppy (Window Me based)
    http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/too… – Windows 98 Startup floppy with CD-Rom support and a few additional tools.

    The bottom line for the masses of interested readers is that the problem seems to have been a hardware fault in the card reader – fixed by simply replacing it.

    There are no separate drivers for these card readers – apparently they are built into Windows XP.

    Seems like I’m talking to myself in an empty room here – could this be because the site moderator has moved the post to a place where no user thinks to look?
