Several programs in Office (Word, Excel) blow up in Win XP with no error message. Program just closes. This also happens, sometimes, with other programs, such as IE 6+ & Quickbooks Premier, for instance. I am suspicious of Memory problems, as that's the last thing that I've done to the machine (IBM NetVista). I upgraded to the max Memory (2Gig). I had similar problems with generic memory; and then switched to IBM speced Memory; but I am having the same problems. The memory checks out with several diagnotic programs suggested by the Microsoft community site. I do not have this problem when I limit Memory to 1.5gig. Any ideas?

- 1. Number 8 keeps turning to 7
I have a user with a very interesting problem on his pc. Everytime he tries to type an 8, it turns into a seven. You can see the 8 on the screen, but it immidietly turns into a 7. The computer does allow you to type 8 with other characters. Even 08 will work in Excel, but when you leave the 8 by itself it turns into a 7. This seems to be happening only office programs. A simple text file allows the 8 to be displayed. I also logged onto the PC with another username. Everything seems to work fine then. It is only with this users profile that the problem occurs. Any ideas? Thanks, Greg - 2. Microsoft Jet 4.0 Service Pack 8 (SP8) (Windows XP)
Looking for Microsoft Jet 4.0 Service Pack 7 (SP7) (Windows XP) I can not find it anywhere and it is needed for access 2003 or so they say for security. Where can this be downloaded from I don't find it on their web site my search comes up empty. - 3. Annoying clipboard icon in XP
Ok, this is trivial, but annoying. In Office XP, whenever I paste something in Word or Excel it leaves a clipboard menu icon sitting nearby. I have to hit <Esc> to get rid of it. I haven't been able to find an option to stop this. I tried clearing all four Office Clipboard options, to no avail. I've been trying to get into the habit of following <Ctrl>-V with <Esc> but I'm having trouble retraining myself. So, is there a way for me to train Office to not do this? TIA, John - 4. SCSI
Does Win XP Home support SCSI peripherals? Thanks, Randy

Do you regularly clear out your temp folder? You might also try tuning down your hardware accelerator to see if this is a graphic problem?

1.Migrating Email from Outlook (Office 2000)/ Win98SE to XP Office and WinXP
I used a fairly reliable product, Intellimover, to transfer files from an old Win98SE pc to a new HP running Windows XP and Home version of Office. All files, IE bookmarks, etc, transfered perfect, but none of my email came over. The files that are *.pst are older archive emails - nothing current. The import/export option in Office didn't seem to secure the current emails either. Does anyone know if there is a compatibility issue..or is this just "operator error?" Also - is there a quick way to copy existing emails onto a USB flash stick (e.g. Sandisk's minicruzer) and paste them into new email folders in Outlook? Thanks. J.
