Using calculator

[Andrew Warren]

Hi all,

I am running WinXP Pro. I went tried to use the
calculator today, and couldn't find it in the Start/All
programs menu. I thought that it was in "Accesories",
but cannot find it. It had been quite a while since I
had used it, so I don't remember. I have a "Calc" button
on my keyboard, which works, so I know that the
calculator is on my system.

I have installed the Powertoy calculator. Could that
have anything to do with this??

Any help would be much appreciated,

Andrew Warren

Yes Ron, I did try accessories, System Tools, and it
isn't there either, (I have just checked there again now
to make sure, after reading your reply to my post).

I found it in System32 and copied it over to Accesories
in Documents and Settings, All Users, Start Menu,
Programs, Accessories. It is now where I thought it used
to be, but I still have no idea where it went to !!!
(And I feel like I have only done a bandaid fix-up
anyway. Thanks for the tip anyway Ron.

You can, also, go to start menu/run... and type `calc.exe'

Microsoft has a graphing calculator called PowerCalc.

It will also display a series of math calculations i.e.
32+16/3=.....

Hi Ron. I already have the Powertoy calculator. Its
pretty neat huh, (I mostly use it for the conversions,
nothing fancy yet). I mentioned in my original post that
I had it, because I was wondering if it had anything to
do with my "Missing" calculator.
Cheers again,
