If you didn't go through the trouble of a fresh FedEx install, just check your 1Password settings. See if your Gmail info is still hanging around in there.

Can someone refresh my memory on how to block or mark a specific sender as spam in Outlook 2013? It’s been a while since I actually had to deal with this kind of nonsense, and I could really use a quick reminder right about now.

Have a little fun with the margins.

It’s pretty obvious to me that your update service isn't even running. Track down whatever service is responsible for it, flip the switch to enable it, and then give that update another shot.

I don't know what you're getting at with that. Just a single word? Not much to work with there. Samuel Price58 says:
Nice work. 🙏 👍

Since you're all here anyway... 😁 Quick question. Theoretically, I know you could use Visual Studio 2012 on Windows 7 to build apps targeting .NET Framework 4.0, which should then run on Windows XP just like they were built in Visual Studio 2010. There are a lot of "ifs" involved here, though. Has anyone actually tested this with more than just a basic Hello World? I'm talking about real-world apps that push the limits a bit. 😬

The apps you build in .NET aren't tied to the OS itself. What I’m getting at is that you just need to check which .NET versions Windows XP actually supports, then pick your framework accordingly. You can easily code in Visual Studio 2012—even an Ultimate version—and as long as you stick to a .NET version compatible with XP, your app will run just fine on it.

Tried it a thousand times already.

Visual Studio 2012? It’s way better, much more optimized...

Like he said, you’d just expense this to the company.

Visual Studio 2010 should still be out there, especially since VS 2012 didn't even drop until last October. Have you checked this link yet? http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads
You’d also expect to find it at places like Best Buy, Staples, or Micro Center... it has to be sitting on a shelf somewhere. If you hit a dead end, just give Microsoft US a call; they'll point you in the right direction.

Why would Windows 8 be a bigger issue than a 64-bit system?
There are tons of programs built for Windows OS that rely on .NET. Usually, your biggest hurdle isn't the OS itself, but whether you have the specific version of the .NET Framework that the app actually needs to run.

It’s really not a big deal if you're running a 64-bit system. You can run 32-bit applications on a 64-bit processor or OS without any hiccups. If your hardware supports 64-bit, you could technically install either a 32-bit or 64-bit OS, but if you stick with 32-bit, you're basically letting half your processor's power just sit there gathering dust.

I'm curious why you're saying "unfortunately" regarding Windows 8? I've been using Windows 8 since August—students actually got access to the official final version before it even hit the shelves—and I haven't run into a single issue. A lot of people complain about the Microsoft interface, but personally, I think it's pretty solid. I find myself using it more than the actual desktop. I'd love to hear your take on what makes Windows 8 so bad.

Of course you can run a virtual machine on Linux to boot up a Windows OS. If your laptop comes pre-installed with Windows 8, you can certainly put Linux on it, though I'm not sure if that voids your warranty; you should probably check that before you buy. If it's allowed, you can install Linux over Windows 8, but you can't really install an older version of Windows over Windows 8. As far as I know, downgrading the OS has never been an option.

Look, if he thinks a standard week is going to be slow, he can always fall back on Tiny7

Melissa Hayes41 said:So, I’m currently taking this online course on the basics of Excel, and I've hit a wall with some of the exercises. For instance, it says to enter C5*$D$9 into cell D5. According to the course answers, cells D6 and D7 should result in C6*$D$9 and C7*$D$9—meaning that $D$9 is supposed to be the absolute reference. But for some reason, it's doing the exact opposite on my screen. It's treating C5 as the absolute part and making *$D$9, *$D$10, and *$D$11* the relative ones. I know that sounds confusing since I'm still learning, but I typed everything in exactly as instructed.

Basically, my absolute references are showing up in the first part of the formula instead of the second part where the dollar signs are actually located...

Here’s a link http://speedy.sh/wanJf/excel-inf.rar I put together some PDFs related to Excel that we used back when I was in college. They don't cover those specific absolute references, but they should definitely help you out.

I'm doing some practice for my college coursework, trying to tackle a problem in Microsoft Excel 2007.
I wrote a formula to add up two cells, but I keep getting a zero. I've tried these different syntaxes:

Does anyone know where I can grab that Windows 7 interface for XP? I'm just looking to get those translucent window effects back.

I could use some help here... Can anyone actually walk me through the basics? I need more than just surface-level advice on rods, reels, hooks, line, floats, or bait—and don't even get me started on knot tying. I'm looking for actual substance, not just one-liners for every question. If you aren't willing to write out a proper explanation, just drop some decent links that cover everything in detail.
