Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, great hivemind of tech wisdom, I could use some help over here. I have Windows 2000 and I just upgraded from IE5.5 (which worked fine) to IE6.0 and now it's effing up bad. Convulsion-inducing flashes when downloading ads, and slow as heck even though I have 60 gigs of memory now, giving me "not enough memory" error messages, and crashing for no reason. I hate Microsoft. Can I go back to IE5.5? Or should I just upgrade to Windows XP?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I've got it on 40 or so PCs at work, and it works fine. Just be sure to get the LAME library if you want to export mp3's -- the link should be somewhere pretty upfront on the Audacity page.

Um.

My first question would be why. IJS.
You may have accidentally downloaded something nasty. Take a look at your task manager and look for any processes which are taking up a lot of CPU or memory. Post a screenshot if you're unsure what to look for.
Also run Startup Control Panel to see what's being loaded when you boot up. Does anything look suspicious?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm working on an Access database of a ceramics collection. I want to insert a small image of each piece into a form, so that it can be seen with the full catalogue record. However, I've been having trouble getting the OLE object to insert itself as an image, not a package. I've tried inserted it as both an embedded object, and a link. I've tried different file associations for the image files. I'm lost and ready to admit defeat. Does anyone have any suggestsions? I'm running Access 2003 on XP.
Sue, the only way I could get it to work on Access 2000 (on my XP Home machine) was to drag an actual graphics image to the control on the form. Everything else I tried resulted in it comming in as a package. Even dragging in a thumbnail of the picture doesn't work - it has to be the actual image (both the Windows preview and from Mozilla worked for me).
If this isn't what you need, I can send you some VB code that will do it, but you'll have to wait until tomorrow for that.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
grommit, "why" is exactly what I'm asking myself now. Basically, because a tech support person told me I should.
I don't have a Task Manager. According to some site I just Googled up, I'm supposed to be able to get it by right-clicking on the toolbar or by doing Ctrl+Alt+Del and clicking on Task Manager. But it doesn't show up when I do either of those things.
I don't think I have a Startup Control Panel either. I hate to be a pain, but I'm actually close to tears over this damned thing. I just paid $280 to have my computer upgraded, and now it doesn't work, and I can't figurte out what's wrong.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
First of all, Zenkitty, I have Win2K (Professional), and I'm running IE6, so it should work fine. No need to jump to XP if you don't want to.
What happens when you hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete? The fact that you don't have a Task Manager is kind of worrying. Did you ever use it before the upgrade?
Also, what programs are listed when you go to Programs -> Startup?
Also, {{Zenkitty}}. I very much understand being near tears due to computer problems. It's stressful.

You need to download and run it from the link I provided
The other way to bring up the task manager is to select "Run" from your Start menu and type in "taskmgr". If that doesn't work, backup your data ASAP.

hip deep in pie
Tommyrot, I did try the drag and drop, still no luck. My partner in the project got it to work at home by reconfiguring Microsoft Photo Editor t run from her computer. My version of Office 2003 has Microsoft Office Picture Manager instead. I tried that fix, and still no love.
So if you could wing some code my way, I would be forever greatful.

grommit, I guess that explains why I didn't have it, huh?! I would've probably realized that if I hadn't been a tad overwrought... At this point, though, I'm honestly afraid to download anything.
P.-C., thanks for the {}. I feel better now!
Okay. Ctrl+Alt+Del says Close Program at the top and gives me a list of what's running and the option to End Task, Shut Down, or Cancel. Currently: the web page I'm on, Explorer, Ctfmon, Sk9910dm, Ccapp, Systray, Wuauclt, Winmgmt, Hidserv, and Mdm.
Programs -> Startup says Microsoft Office, which I didn't think I was running, and nothing else. Hm.
