What is the latest PC operating system?

intermittent problems with drag & drop, especially afecting outlook, but happing in every application including internet explorer. We've tried everything short of reinstalling XP including cleaning the registry. Any ideas? I can't drag and drop my emails to folders, which is the most frustrating thing! It's taking forever to clean out my inbox!

I'm having a problem with the header in my PowerPoint files looking slightly rotated (despite not having been rotated) and I can't figure out how to fix it. I've tried creating a new file and recreating the header, having someone else try it on their computer, etc. but nothing seems to make it go away. Any ideas as to what's causing this or how I can fix it? Its driving me nuts! Thanks!!!

I've written this handy script (for myself, at the moment) that works of a single file. I want to call it from the windows context menu by right clicking the file I want it to process.

Now, i've added a new key under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell (because I want it to work on *any* file) and have added the following sub-key

(Default) = "%windir%\system32\wscript.exe" "D:\myscripts\myscript.vbs" "%1"

I can now see my new menu item whenever i right-click any file (yay!) but when I click it, I get an error message "Access is denied." - what am i doing wrong or missing?

What is themeManager.xml ?

It appears that Excel 2007 adds a reference to something called themeManager.xml when you save the files in the 2003 compatibility mode (i.e. .xls).

Does anyone know what themeManager.xml does?

Microsoft is preparing for Non-Windows OS called Midori, so is Windows Seven just transition between Vista and Midori.

A user is claiming there is an application called System Memory scan under System Tools under Accessories in Windows XP SP2 (they can't upgrade to SP3 for other reasons)

It (not he nor she) states this is the method to access it:

(1) Click Start
(2) Hover Over All Programs.
(3) Hover Over Accessories.
(4) Hover Over System Tools.
(5) Click On System Memory Scan.
Its right under Disk Defragmenter.
It has a short memory test and a full system memory test.
and you can schedule it when you want it to run the next scan.

Normally I'd assume this was added on by a system builder (like Dell or HP), but it also claims the application is from Microsoft. I don't use Windows XP, so I don't know and was just curious as to when this was added.

Also, it claims it cannot use Service Pack 3 due to a driver conflict with an Intel driver, you might want to look into that.

I'm trying to add an amount(75.00) to say, 60 different numbers, each number in an individual cell in an excel sheet. Isn't there a better way of doing it other than manually adding and typing it in?

I'll be back to updating often pretty soon. Phone mins on tomorrow afternoon. Any1 know how to make my Microsoft LifeCam 9000 work?

I was wondering is it possible to turn off the shadow around the windows without turning of AERO.

Microsoft customer service is frustrating at best!

I have a microsoft livecam vx-3000. When I setup the microphone, it registers the voice, but when I'm in a video chat, they people on the other end can't seem to hear me. I've reinstalled the drivers, made sure the mic volume was turned up, and made the camera mic the default setting on the computer, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have a solution?
