    Login passwords are not stored in the computer. Only a hash of the password is stored and that in a location that is not normally accessible to even an administrator. There is nowhere in the computers hard drive you can see login passwords.

    Your options are few:
    Obtain a valid password from the owner or reinstall the OS (unless it is a BIOS password).

    Never buy a used computer from anywhere unless you get all necessary passwords.

    Your specs are incomplete. We have no idea which CPU you’re running, or the make/model of the motherboard or graphics. All that stuff is important. AMD CPUs need a patch & too much RAM can cause problems.

    How much of the RAM are you allocating to Win98 in your VM? Make sure to keep it under 512MB. And as I pointed out in one of your other posts, do not install any additional programs, games, etc until you get Win98 running properly. I can just about guarantee that you don’t need Rain or CpuIdle…get rid of them & stop looking for a genie in a bottle.

    Let’s get the code into your workbook, then deal with the options for running it.

    First, I am assuming that you are using Excel 2007 or later on a Windows based machine. If you are using an earlier version or using a Mac, these steps may not work exactly as written. Let me know.

    Second, I suggest that you do this in a backup copy of your workbook. Macros cannot be undone and I’d hate to have you run the code and then save your original book before you know if the code does what you want it to do.

    1 – Copy the code from Response #4 to store it on the clipboard. Your copy should start with Sub BuildImportSheet() and end with End Sub, inclusive
    2 – In your workbook, press Alt-F11 to open the VBA editor
    3 – Click the Insert tab and choose Module
    4 – Paste the code into the pane that opens. You should not see any red text. If you do, you copied more (or less) than the actual code.
    5 – Close the VBA editor
    6 – Save the workbook. Since it now contains a macro, it must be saved as an xlsm or xlsb file. xlsm will be fine.

    OK, now that the macro is in the file, you have a number of options for running it. I’ll offer 3 options, although there are many more. A Google search on Macro buttons will turn up a lot of info. In my opinion, Option 2 is probably the best of the 3.

    Option 1:

    The most brute force, basic method is to open the VBA editor via Alt-F11, open the module with the code, place the cursor anywhere inside the code and click the green Run triangle in the top ribbon. You probably won’t even realize that anything happened, but the last sheet in the workbook should contain all the data from the other sheets.

    In most cases, you (or your users) are not going to want to open the VBA editor every time you want to run the code, so a better idea is to create a button in the workbook so the code can be run with a click. Options 2 and 3 are different ways to create a macro button.

    Option 2:

    Place a button on your Quick Access Toolbar. (QAT)

    1 – Right click the QAT and choose Customize Quick Access Toolbar
    2 – Click the drop down for “Choose Commands From” and choose Macros
    3 – BuildImportSheet should appear in the pane below the drop down
    4 – Select BuildImportSheet, click Add to add it to the right hand pane
    5 – Click the drop down for Customize Quick Access toolbar and choose the name of your workbook. (This done so that the button does not show up in every workbook you open)
    6 – If you want, you can click the Modify button below the right hand pane and choose a different shape for the button. I have about 20 macro buttons that I use all the time, so I try to choose a shape that reminds me of what each macro does.
    7 – Click OK to close the Customize dialog box.
    8 – Save the workbook

    In the QAT, you should see the new button. Hover over it and the macro name should appear. Click it and the code should run. Whenever you open the workbook, the button should be there.

    (In case you didn’t know it, you can add all sorts of buttons to the QAT to make Excel easier to use. Not just macro buttons, but buttons for just about every Excel feature that can be found hidden behind the various ribbons.)

    Option 3:

    1 – On any worksheet, click the Insert tab and choose any shape you’d like
    2 – Place the shape on the worksheet. You can add text to the shape if you want to
    3 – Right click the shape and choose “Assign Macro”
    4 – In the dialog box that opens, you should see the BuildImportSheet macro
    5 – Double click the macro name and the dialog box should close
    6 – When you hover over the shape, the cursor should become a finger, telling you that it is a “link”. If you click the button, the macro will run

    You can add a shape button on every sheet if you want to. However, if you are going to add a shape button to every sheet, you might as well just add a single button to the QAT.

    Let me know if this makes sense and if you need any further help.

  5. I wouldn't worry about getting the PCB wet. I have used Hot water, rubbing alcohol and even Lacquer thinner on Canon print heads. What have you got to lose anyway.

    I wouldn’t worry about getting the PCB wet. I have used Hot water, rubbing alcohol and even Lacquer thinner on Canon print heads. What have you got to lose anyway.

    Place in a container of hot tap water and let set for a spell. Then place under the hot water spout in the kitchen sink and let the water run into the holes where the cartridges attach. You will see lots of colored ink flowing out when doing that.

    I was sold on Canon for years but then got tired of print head issues like you are experiencing. Then when through a really good Laser color printer that mechanically broke (wouldn’t feed paper) then tried Brother all in on color laser. That printer only printed decent copy when using the expensive Brother supplies.

    I went back to an inkjet when my Canon tabloid size color printer gave me more grief than it was worth.

    Bought an Epson All in One that has two paper trays, prints, scans, copies 1 or 2 sided up to 19 x 13 paper. I am currently buying generic ink tanks and have really good results. I couldn’t be more pleased.

    My unit is an Epson WF-7620. Epson makes a letter size with the same features. I saw both units on Sale at Officemax for $200 to 250. They will demo it for you.

    I don’t work for Epson or Officemax either but this is the best printer I have ever used.

    Also got it to interface with my old version of Paperport 11, the last good version of that software. The Brother wouldn’t work with that version.

    Hope this helps if you can’t get the print head cleared. Sometimes they just quit working without being plugged up. I must have at least 8 or 9 print heads for the older BJC series because I couldn’t get them to work.

    Sounds like you do have an odd Beta version of Windows 95.

    I have seen that particular error when running 95 on newer hardware whenever the last version of NTKERN.VXD is not installed.

    While not written EXACTLY for this particular problem, my FIX95CPU update should correct this. Try installing it.

    See here for detailed information:
    http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/141…
    http://www.mdgx.com/spx/FIX95CPU.ZIP

    See especially the “KNOWN ISSUES” section of the ReadMe for an error similar to what you are experiencing.

    The ZIP contains bootable Floppy and CD images, use whichever is more convenient.

    I would advise you to reinstall from scratch, you cannot simply replace VMM32.VXD with the one from the CABs. It is only a “starter” file that is compressed with several other VXD’s during the first reboot of SETUP. They can be unique to each machine depending on certain factors during SETUP.

    phill22: No other devices are paired when I am trying this.

    btk1w1: As I mentioned in my OP “When I powered it on and pressed the Connect button, my iPad found it.” (“it” be the Zagg keyboard)

    The Connect light flashes and the Zagg keyboard appears in the list on my iPad. The keyboard only shows up on the iPad list after the Connect button on the keyboard is pressed, so I know that the iPad is seeing the keyboard.

    As far as turning Bluetooth off until the keyboard is in Connect mode, the instructions say to do the opposite:

    1 – Turn the keyboard on
    2 – Turn on Bluetooth in the iPad
    3 – Press the Connect button on the keyboard. The status light will flash and the iPad displays Zagg Keyboard as an available device.

    That part work absolutely fine. As soon as the Connect button on the Zagg is pressed, the iPad displays Zagg Keyboard as an available device. However, in the spirit of cooperation, I tried it your way. Connect button first, then iPad Bluetooth on. It didn’t change the symptoms.

    I think the key point here is that the iPad sees the keyboard when the keyboard is in Connect mode, so we know they that are communicating.

    A question: When the pop-up with pairing code appears on the iPad, who sets that code? In other words, is it the iPad that determines the code and then expects to see it from the keyboard or does the keyboard tell the iPad what code to expect?

    I’m trying to determine just how much communication is going on between the 2 devices. Maybe it’s nothing more than the iPad saying “I see it” and that’s all.

    I figured out how to fix this.

    1st- Unplug your all in one pc removing the power cord from the back. Push and hold your start/power button while at the same time plugging it back in. This will start your pc.

    The cause of my problem was in the power setting needed to be changed. I went to my control panel clicked on power settings and changed:

    Turn off hard disk after 20 minutes
    Sleep to never
    hibernate to never
    usb settings usb selective suspend setting disabled
    turn off display after 20 minutes
    adaptive display off

    My problem was solved and gateway wanted to charge $150-$200 to fix this my pc is only 13 months new -the b—tards

    Hope this helps
