A 2002 XP Question

[Jan Il]

Direct Draw? It uses hardware acceleration on your machine to draw images in
PowerPoint. I use it here and it makes a huge difference to clarity of large
images when they are zoomed into.

Really?? Kewl! Well yeah...I want that one! That really sounds like a
really great tool. How do I get it?? What is it? An add-in, download,
upload, plug-in, insert, import, export, Blue Light special, Freeware of the
Month..????

Thanks Glen!

It will either make it better, or worse <g>.

Fess up. How many thesauri died so you could create that message?

Ahmm...what's a thesauri???

The only thing I remember that died today was Thor, the rock cleaner, in the
fish tank. And, we gave him a proper burial at sea. Sorta....I
mean...that's where he'll evenually end up..when he gets to the
out-fall....fall-out...out-put...the end of the line....yeah...there..

I don't know about 2000. You could have a look ;-)

 

[Jan Il]

I don't know about 2000. You could have a look ;-)

relaunch as we speak, so I'll let ya know..;-)))

Hmmm, sounds like fodder for the Sea Worm farm situated right near where old
Thor should exit. <g>

A highly erudite saurian, all but extinct on this continent since US
universities began shutting down their classics departments.

Mikeyfood, is what you're telling me?

One mans' effluvium is another mans' intestinal challenge! ;-)

See...and here you thought I never I never thought of you, Mikey. I could
have just buried him out in the flower bed and watch the raccoons dig him
up, then try to find a place to wash him off. Great family entertainment,
ya know. But, I decided that he should really go to that big fodder field
at the end of that very long pipe to feed the messes...ahmm....
......masses.... ;-))

BTW...did he get there yet??? Ya can't miss him....he's the one wearing the
'lil helmet with horns...

Ohh... yeah...I think they had one of those in the movie Jurassic Park.
Really pretty exciting alright.

Heh heh....at first I thought you meant one of those books that tells you
all the different ways to say what your trying to say. I've used one of
those sometimes though...but...I often have enough trouble trying to say
what I mean the first time, and it gets really confusing when I have to try
to figure out how to say it in some other way after that, 'cause then I'm
not sure what I was trying to say in the first place. Somehow, I wind up
just not making much sense to me at all. But, thankfully it doesn't happen
very often....I'd really feel bad if I confused anyone else.

Mikeyfood, is what you're telling me?

Well...ahmm....'k...see...I just felt it would be a good way for 'lil Thor
live on somehow, even if it was from the bottom of the food chain....ya
know??

 

[Jan Il]

Echo!

I have tried to reinstall the 2000 and it is not working right, but, I can't
uninstall it, as then 2002 won't work right, and it keeps saying it can't
find the qualifying program.

Now, I have tried to reinstall 2002, and every time I try to open any 2002
program, it now insists on reinstalling the program, it wants the key code
and the whole 9 yards, as if it is a new install. What am I doing wrong
now???

Ahhhhh, crap. I probably should have suggested that you uninstall 2002
before uninstalling 2000. Grrrr. <smacking forehead>

2002 is an upgrade, yes?

If it's looking for a qualifying program, try putting your Office 2000
CD in then. It should recognize that as a qualifier and move along its
merry way.

No problemo ... just as long as you don't mind some of us going "Wowwwww,
the COLORS!!!" every so often.

Well...ahmm....'k...see...I just felt it would be a good way for 'lil Thor
live on somehow, even if it was from the bottom of the food chain....ya
know??

Darn right. So when's the Disney movie due out?

 

[Jan Il]

LOL! Well...this is PPT ..right? 3-D animation and colors are major parts
of the program..right? I always like to use a program to it's fullest

Darn right. So when's the Disney movie due out?

What..?? You haven't seen In 'Search of Nemro' yet? It actualy started out
as a story about 'lil Thor, but, they thought no one would relate to a 'lil
rock cleaner wearing a 'lil helmet with tee tiny horns, who managed to make
his way through the dense forest of seaweed, then the fish tank filter
system, to the floor, where the resident kitty caught him, choked on the
horns on his 'lil helmet, shook him loose so hard he wound up in the kitchen
sink, slid down the drain, managed to bypass the blades of the garbage
disposal, squeezed through the very narrow opening to the drain pipe below,
fended off all the all the lions and tigers and bears (OH MY!!) all along
the huge, dark, sewage pipe to the great big sediment pond, then escaped
through the putout.. eh..output...ahmm..the one that goes to the big long
pipe that finally dumped him out into the big Pacific Ocean. There, as he
wafted in a daze toward the vast ocean floor, he was attacked and devoured
by a horde of ravenous Sea Worms, which were in turn harvested by a
unknowing, mild mannered snorkler named Mike Key, who thought the Sea Worms
were just enamies...enimanies... enamanee's..ahmm...sea pickles, and picked
them all to adorn his muscles for dinner that night.

Steve...don't tell me you didn't see this one yet? It's really is pretty
complex...and sad. Poor...'lil Thor...

 

[Jan Il]

I did Echo, but, I put the 2000 CD in the D:\ drive and then it started to
install it??? So I let it do..but, should I have taken out the 2002 and put
it in the same E:\ drive so it could say..'k..cool..carry on...??

'k...I got them both axed at the moment...let me try doing the 2002 first,
then the 2000. Yeah, 2002 is the upgrade...but, a question...if I install
the 2002 first, then the 2000...is that not sorta like putting the cart
before the horse? If I install the 2002, then the 2000, won't the 2000
files overwrite the 2002? I only ask 'cause I don't know how these progs
speak to each other...nicely...that is...

Seems like right now they are like the Hatfields and McCoys. I'm trying my
best to play ref..but, they keep giving it to me in the....shins. <g>

I did this, and 2002 said.."Come wif me 00....I want to pway wif you!"...

But, now I finally got the 2002 and 2000 reintalled...now..the 2002 PPT and
Word progs are insisting on reisntalling, setting up, whatever when I first
start them, which Access and Excel don't do...?? But, so far so
good...progress! <bg>

Thanks Echo..

[Echo S]

Sorry, thought you were trying to get just 2002 installed without 2000.

Install 2000. Install any service packs/service releases for 2000. Then
install 2002.

[Mike M.]

I do so appreciate the contribution Jan. I will try my best to insure that
Thor continues the cycle (circle?) of life. However, once ingested as part
of a nice plate of sauteed Sea Worms I am afraid he is doomed to another
trip down a long, dark tunnel. Maybe that can be the sequel? It might have
to have an 'R' rating though due to the graphic nature to the beginning of
his journey. <w>

I haven't seen him yet but I will keep my eyes (only) open.

by a horde of ravenous Sea Worms, which were in turn harvested by a

unknowing, mild mannered snorkler named Mike Key, who thought the Sea Worms
were just enamies...enimanies... enamanee's..ahmm...

Emcees. Or maybe the ship-shape hip-hop version, Run, D EmCee?

sea pickles, and picked
them all to adorn his muscles for dinner that night.

And then the cockle crew and the crew cackled while Mike Kee ... was also
put out by the output that he put out.

Steve...don't tell me you didn't see this one yet? It's really is pretty
complex...and sad. Poor...'lil Thor...

See, there's the problem. A technicolor ending, but not a happy one.
There'd be Eisner-pelt nailed to the side of the barn if that ever got
turned into a movie. Besides, it's got no Aussie surferturtledudes.
