Situation<br/> My company has developed a macro-enabled (VBA) Word 2007/10 template. The template includes a custom Ribbon, Autotext items, and - importantly - a custom Style Sheet. Our installer currently places the template under the end-user’s default Templates directory. Using this approach, the Template automatically loads when opening a document that was authored in it, provided that the user has it installed. Users DO NOT need to write to the template, they just need to read/load it.<br/> <br/> Difficulty<br/> The above approach, installing to end-user profiles, works great performing enterprise installations on Windows XP machines. …

Before the latest engine update, there was an option in Real Time Protection to change the scanning mode of MSE from scanning both incoming and outgoing files to either just scanning incoming only, outgoing, and even both incoming and outgoing. I noticed an huge performance issue increase when I set it to scanning incoming files only, which is the way it should be set in my opinion. Why would anyone want to be double scanning a file after it has been scanned once as it came into the protected file system, scanning a file as it is leaving the system only takes up more resources and performace. Why could the STUPID Programer that made the program take that opt…

Here is what I did it's kind of complicated... I rebuilt a user profile to see if it would fix an issue they were having... 1) Logged in as admin renamed user's profile xxxx.old, removed associated profile reg key, rebooted. 2) Logged in as user to create a new profile 3) copied favorites from xxxx.old profile so I could use a link. Issue still persisted so i wanted to revert back to the original profile. 4) Reboot, log in as admin, deleted new profile folder (regretting this), took off the ".old" from the original profile, rebooted. 5) Logged in as user, all data is there except the Favorites. They are gone. It seems like …

I can run a "full" scan, and the next day when I boot up my computer, I get the same message: You haven't run a scan on your PC for a while. This could put your PC at risk. My Real-Time protection is on. My virus and spyware definitions are up to date. I can find nothing in the forums on this issue...Do I just need to find another program to protect my computer? This is very FRUSTRATING... I am running Windows Vista Business, Service Pack 2, 4 G Ram... Any thoughts, hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated... View this thread

I am currently making a time sheet in excel 2010. I found a format that was on the internet and is set up as date, log in, lunch out, lunch in, log out, regular hours, overtime hours. I have a IF statement in regular hours and overtime hours which for regular hours will only go up to 8 hours. Anything in excess of 8 hours is put into overtime hours. I would like to have the time rounded in the log in through log out columns to nearest 15 minutes by a factor of 8 minutes. However I cannot make two forumlas in same cell (have tried parenthases and commas and havent been able to work it out). For example if the tieme is 6:40 id like it to be 6:45. If time is 6:37 id like…
