It is a San Disk Compact Falsh reader that was plugged into the hub when I installed XP. The drivers I have for it were never installed since they are for Win 97 – Win 2000 and will not install on XP. I have ordered a new reader which has not been delivered yet.

Thank you! That is what I was looking for.

Does anyone else have any ideas how to turn off this annoying icon?

That is a possibility, but even if I knew I don’t think it would help my original problem.

Your guess is as good as mine! I don’t have a clue what it is.

The CD I have came with SP2 included. I think that the only patch I do not have installed yet is IE 7.

In the image below, I double clicked on the first device with Uinversal in its name and got what is in the second image. I also tried double clicking on all of the devices, none of them had the Advanced tab.

Thanks, and it does sound like my problem. However, the fix does not work. I get to step 3 in the fix and there is no “Advanced” tab or any “Advanced” button on any of the tabs. Therefore I can’t find the check box to click on.

The TODAY()-DATE(2007,9,1) gives the number of days since 9/1/2007. (TODAY()-DATE(2007,9,1))/7 divides the number of days by 7 to get the number of weeks which might have a fractional part like 1.2857 so =INT((TODAY()-DATE(2007,9,1))/7) drops the fraction and returns the number of whole weeks.

Actually, I could never get anything in the star post to work. I created some address books, but could never get Outlook to let me create anything in any of them or get them to display in the folder list. I got back to where I wanted to be by just using File/New/Folder and creating new contact folders. I was then able to copy the contacts from my old contacts folders to the new folders. I did have to manually recreate all of the distribution list though. The distribution lists all copied, and if you opened them they looked like they contained what they were supposed to. However, if you used them in an email, Outlook said that there was noone to send the email to. Just deleting the entries in the list and then adding them back would solve that problem.

Thanks, but that info was too late to help me.

I have also just been able to recover all of my contacts and address lists. Now, if I can just figure out how to control the display of the names in the contact lists so that they display Last Name, First Name.

Thanks! I was able to find the contacts, address list, and calendar. I have recovered the calendar although I had to copy all of the items one at a time from the old to the new calendar, and all of the recurring items (many, many) I had to recreate manually. I am now on the way to JScher2000’s star post to see if I can get my address list and contacts working again.

One last follow up and warning. Yesterday afternoon I finally got around to Uninstalling my previous AV program which needed to be upgraded but the upgrade would not support W2K and then installing the Kaspersky AV. That was the last thing I did on my beloved W2k. When the reboot got to the point of displaying the desktop, I got a blue screen error about an unhandled interrupt and I could see the module name NTOSKRNL.EXE (the W2K kernal), and the system rebooted. That repeated over and over until I stopped it by powering off. I was able to boot into SAFE mode, so I tried to remove KASPERSKY, but when I clicked on the Change/Remove button in Add Remove Programs, Windows installer started up and informed me that it would not run in SAFE MODE. After spending 3 hours on the phone with Microsoft using MSCONFIG and DEV Manager to disable everthing in site, none of that made any difference. I then went to the local store and bought a copy of VISTA thinking that I could install that and it might solve the problem. I tried the install but VISTA install informed me that it would not upgrade from W2K to VISTA, and that if I did a new install it would wipe out all the files on my hard disk which I did not want to do before I made copies of some that had been updated since my backup of the previous night. To make a long story short, it has taken me 36 hours to get Win XP installed (I had to do a new install onto the same disk with W2K, copy off the files I needed, and then remove the disk partition and do a clean install of XP). I probably still have 3 or 4 days of work to get everything else back to where it was.

If you do it in that order, You won’t get the message in the Status bar until after the 10 seconds are up.

You should use the Worksheet_Change event not the Worksheet_Calculate event to do this.
