• I want to create a 2 cells in demand for numbers, the 1st cell is a dropdown menu with items of text, when choosing an item, that it would be represented by a numeric value in the other cell. How can I do?

  I want to create a 2 cells in demand for numbers, the 1st cell is a dropdown menu with items of text, when choosing an item, that it would be represented by a numeric value in the other cell. How can I do?

  You can use vlookup() like this:

  (1) crate a table like this:

  the first line is a heading row

  the first column contains the same list of items in the context menu

  the second column contains the corresponding values

  name of the table 'value '.

  

  In another table (where the pop-up menu), you can use the table of choice of 'Value' like this:

  

  create a drop-down list in cell B1

  Select cell C1 and type (or copy and paste) the formula:

  = VLOOKUP (B1, Value::A:B, 2, 0)

  short hand for this is:

  C1 = VLOOKUP (B1, Value::A:B, 2, 0)

  now change the pop-up to display the value in the change of cell C1

• Every folder I open it in Windows Explorer starts to run an analysis that goes anywhere in the address bar. How can I stop this?

  In earlier versions of Windows, I would allow the address bar appears at the top of any folder that has been opened.  I'm on Vista Ultimate SP2 now and I'm not sure if the same name is still assigned to this bar at the top that displays inside the location of the folder structure of windows to the folder that is open.

  It is the same field that indicates the status of your search in Vista.  This is the area, to which I am referring.  In the upper left of the folder.

  Whenever I open a folder, it starts what appears to be a search, and the progress of the present poster with the field more in more blue from the far left and go right.

  I thought that since that acts of domain the same when I do an actual search, as she does when I open a folder, that maybe Vista makes some sort of search, or perhapes an indexing function.  I disabled indexing on my system.

  But when even scan darn, or whatever it is, starts on every window I opened.  Is it that a folder with pictures, the pictures does not show until scanning, or everything he does ends or is almost finished.

  Whenever this address bar starts its thing, I can him an 'X' that appears to the right of the address field.  The blue progress bar will suddenly zip through as if it ended, but often nothing happens, like the display of thumbnails for a period after you click 'X'... as if it still makes of anything, that he was not concerned that I hit the 'X '.

  Sorry for the length of this post.  I'm strugglng to describe my question clearly enough.

  If you know what is happening and how to stop it, I'd love to help...

  Thanks for the clear explanation.  I've never heard of this problem before, but it does not sound like opening the file automatically starts the search function - a problem that could be caused by a number of things.  The first that comes to mind is a recent installation program or the Windows Update (or a corruption of the registry) that is causing the problem.  We will approach the problem systematically until we discover the problem (with the procedure with the highest probability of success first).

  Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.  If this started recently, I think that this procedure can solve the problem without requiring you need to go further (but I could be wrong, and the problem may be with some corrupted system files that must be identified and repaired).

  If the system restore does not work, do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

  If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

  If this does not work, try to start in safe mode (repeatedly hit F8 key so that the start and go in safe mode with networking).  Then we will check some of your system files:

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

  Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.

  While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to solve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a cause.

  If it does not, then thanks for posting any repetitive error message in Event Viewer on startup (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer).  Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html.

  This could also be malware (although I have never seeen before a kind). Let us make sure that it is not.  In Safe Mode with network (click several times F8 during the boot process) try to run anti-malware programs. To resolve this problem (if it is a problem) download, install, and run the following two programs: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php and http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html.  You can also try a free trial of Pandasoft (www.pandasoft.com).  Before you download pandasoft, uninstall all anti-virus program you currently use (because the installation and execution of two simultaneously can cause conflicts, freezes and all sorts of problems).  Once you have uninstalled your current AV program, download, install, update and scan using Pandasoft.  I think you might be amazed at how much she notes that other software missed.  Once complete, uninstall pandasoft and re - install your current AV program (unless you decide to spend that I did when I tried about 4 years ago).  You can also try the new, free Microsoft Security Essentials http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspx (with the same caveat that only program AV one ALONE can be installed and running on your system at any time). Set the scans to be comprehensive analyses and configure the program to fix any problems they find.  Restart after you have completed all the scans. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html , as well as the upgrade from an earlier version of the Windows section of the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918884.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work.  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version on system with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled cane and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to do a slipstream drive as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

  I hope one of these procedures can solve your problem.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try something else.  Return message anyway so we know how it turns out.

  Good luck!

  If this does not work, you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure:

• Explorer Windows moves the folder selected to the bottom of the folder list. How can I stop this?

  THIS ISSUE DOESN'T HAVE AN ANSWER.    I DID NOT MARK ANY RESPONSE AS SUCH.

  ATTENTION TO THE RESPONSE MODERATOR ABUSE!

  Open windows Explorer
  view folders on the left
  Double-click computer
  Double-click the C drive
  Scroll down to windows Double click

  Double click on diagnostics (example)

  Now, the folder is moved to the bottom of the folder list.

  This also occurs when you click on any folder and you click once on the open gadget.

  It is increadably boring.  How can I stop it?

  Hi j1234567890j - and everyone else that repsonded to the post.

  I also have expierence this problem and as with all those who have responded to this post one lot others that makes me crazy. To make things worse, this problem manifests itself also on open or save file dialog boxes in any application that relies on the Windows file dialog.

  In my case, I also found that the behavior is inconsistent. Sometimes the problem, and sometimes it isn't. -C' is why it is difficult to focus on the behavior and some people are unable to reproduce the problem. So, I think other answers on different computers where this problem cannot be replicated. As a developer, I understand that, since we often have the answer: "...". but it works in my computer... "- and yes it does, because usually a machine of dev/support is implemented for ideal circumstances. I digress...

  Trying to figure out the problem

  I noticed a pattern, however. I found that if I have the folder in question the collapse and redevelop (double click), the browser moves again, this time exposing all the subfolders that are direct descendants of the record in question. I also noticed that if subfolders are too many to display them in the navigation pane, the selected folder is scrolled to the top of the Panel, expose as many records which can be consulted.

  I think the intention of the browsing behavior, it is that when the user develops the folder, it will show as much as possible under folders in view - but I also think it is where there is a bug - or at least where some other parameter has an impact on behaviour. -For some reason, when a folder is expanded the navigation pane only finds the first subfolder and that one--exposes so boring movement of the folder selected from the current position of the mouse pointer.

  Find an answer

  And yes - even if I think that I understand the problem - I agree with everybody elses user experience - this needs to be fixed!

  I'm not sure that a moderator will pick up what this message is marked as awnsered - even if it isn't in my opnion.

  But if someone the fact: I think that provide an option on the general tab of the Folder Options dialog box, a user can turn off this behavior and expand just the folder without attempting to present all folders visible in the navigation pane.

• Firefox's automatic update fails. Does not connect to update server why?

  I use Mac OS X Version 10.7.4. I'm also under Firefox version 14.0.1. I am invited to upgrade to version 15, but trying to update, the Update window hangs up for hours and is never spent "connection to the server." I tried to install version 15 and trash my last version however I get another pop up box that says something like "can't complete because of certain elements are ignored." I followed the troubleshooting instructions (file > info, and then make sure that all items are unlocked) but this still does not resolve my problem. Can anyone offer some advice? Please?

  Hi suzumaki

  If there is a problem with the update or permissions best, fastest and safest is to download and install firefox:

  1. download a copy of the latest http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html firefox

  2. Trash , install the current application of Firefox to do a cleaning.

  3. install the version you downloaded.

  Do not select to delete your personal data, your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

• The contents of the iPhoto library "copy of iPhoto library" has already been migrated to Photos.  Open the Photos to display your library or use a compatible version of iPhoto to open the iPhoto library. How can I fix?

  The contents of the iPhoto library "copy of iPhoto library" has already been migrated to Photos.  Open the Photos to display your library or use a compatible version of iPhoto to open the iPhoto library.

  What you trying to do?

  You want to open your iPhoto library in iPhoto or the new Photos.app?  and what version of Mac OS X and iPhoto you have installed on your Mac?

  If you have improved your Mac to Mac OS X 10.11,2, El Capitan, you can open your photo libraries or in News Photos for application mac or you can continue to use iPhoto, but only iPhoto 9.6.1 will work on El Capitan.

  IPhoto update (see user tip of Barney: cannot be updated iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store)

  Once an iPhoto Library was opened in Photos the extension will change to ".migratedphotolibrary".  To open this library in iPhoto again, change the extension of filename in '.photolibrary '.

• How to make win Explorer Options stay even each time to open the folder

  Using Vista Home Premium SP1, in the view of STANDARD as in XP. When I open Win Explorer I resize the window, adjust the display, change the column headers, change the column sizes and others. In other words I customize the display of the window I want and do my thing, then close when you are finished. The next time I open pgm all parameters resumed all that. "Obviously I tried to change all the options I can find but now, asking" HOW can I DO FILE VIEW OPTIONS RESTENT EVEN EACH TIME PGM IS OPEN?"

  Hi Willie_wonka,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum.
   
  When you open a window and resize it, and then close, the new window will remain the same, until what you restart. Once you restart the computer, this is the default value. There is no option in windows to keep. However, you can try work around here.
   
  Open a window and make it the size you want
  Open a 2nd window and are the same size.

  The 1st window to the front, hold CTRL and click the red X in the upper right corner.
  Close the window of the 2nd in the same way using CTRL.

  You can also restore the default settings of the display of the tools-> Folder Options-> view files-> restore default settings.

  This should solve the problem.

  Kind regards
