With a flash drive, I took a document to another computer with a version of Excel, I had never seen. I then brought the document to my own computer, opened it and was missing the lines and columns headers. I also tried to copy the file to my CD - RW and the message "invalid MS-DOS function".

The title pretty much everything said. I have an installer the ISO of Windows 7 Professional x 64. I am trying to create a bootable flash drive using these instructions:
http://www.OSNews.com/story/20795/Installing_Windows_7_on_the_Aspire_One_or_Any_Other_Netbook
I followed all the steps in the guide without problem. Windows Explorer shows the drive is NTFS. I can copy all other files of ISO on the FlashDrive without problem. Only, I can't copy this file. I tried to copy it to my hard drive rather than on the flash drive, and it still does not work.
I tried to create a file with the same name by using Notepad to see if there was a problem with the file name. I can copy this file on my hard drive flash drive, but I can't always copy the ISO file.
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 edition and using a Corsair Flash Voyager 16 GB flash drive.
Help, please!

"Invalid MS-DOS function".
When you attempt to drag the photos downloaded from the internet on hard disk, I get the above message when you drag the hard disk in a folder existing on a CD in the drive. I never had a problem to do this when you are using Windows 2000.
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.
Are you talking about a REWRITABLE disc? If so, you should be able to drag-and - drop, but if is not a rewritable disc, then you are maybe not able to deposit on a folder, but on the drive itself that the folder is not writable. I do not know what Win2000 allow you to do that, but it does not make sense to me if it is a non-rewritable drive. It is rewritable, so it makes perfect sense and you should be able to do. Can clarify you what your script fits in? Bob Larson Access MVP

I have recently installed Windows 10 free update. Now I am unable to delete .pdf files and get the invalid error message "Function MS-DOS." It has never been a problem with the previous Windows 8.1. I contacted Microsoft technical support and they told me there is a problem with the .pdf application and I need to contact Adobe Acrobat. This can be corrected?
uninstall any version of acrobat is installed.
clean by Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat tool - Adobe Labs
Restart your computer.
delete all to delete pdf files.
If this fails, it is a problem of ms. If this attempt is successful, then reinstall your acrobat.

Original title: administrator Win7
I have win7 and IE11 running on a HP 8540p. I'm the only person authorized to use the laptop - I am the administrator.
I keep getting these messages that do not allow to use a file. What should I change to have privileges for all functions?
The second file is not cooperating and was not deleted.
"Not cooperating" can mean many different things. A real verbatim error message would be more useful. In the case of locked files, it is often possible to remove safe mode.

dependencies on view (how to get invalid)
Hi guys,.
has been read the guide of the notion and came across this
his chapter on pages 157 6-5
under
< data storage considerations >
< i >
Remove indexes on the tables at night to facilitate faster loading data warehouses.
However, all dependent views on the table on which the index is moved becomes invalid.
This means that eventually run no matter what package that reference these abandoned
views will invalidate the package.
Remember that whenever you create a table, index, and display and then delete the index,
all dependent objects on the table are invalidated, including views, packages, package
organs, functions and procedures. This protects the editable join views. < /i >
did a test but does not seem to be what is described above.
Scott@ORCL > create index testidx on dept (dname);
The index is created.
Scott@ORCL > create the display of the view in SELECT * FROM DEPT;
Created view.
Scott@ORCL > DROP INDEX testidx;
The index is deleted.
Scott@ORCL > select the status from useR_objects where object_name = 'VIEW ';
STATUS
-------
VALID
Well, he did not not valid
T1) I missed anything
Q2) which is editable join views. ?
Please advice
Kind regards
Noob

I keep getting the "this connection is not approved" in all the sites when I use Firefox on windows laptop 36.0.1 8. How can I overcome this.
Hi vijaysampath, please make sure first that the date, time, and time zone are set correctly on your system. If this does not solve the problem (or it is already set correctly), a possible solution depends on different factors:
- What is the error code indicated under Technical Details on the error page?
in case the error code is equal to sec_error_unknown_issuer, please try to add an exception on the bottom of the error page to verify the certificate, as shown on the attached screenshot:
- What information about the issuer of the certificate contain?
Please take these two pieces of information. Thank you!

Why do I keep getting sent to sign in page?
I keep getting directed to sign in page for Firefox. I wanted to try Firefox. I did and it didn't work. Way too complicated for something simple. I'll have to stick with internet explorer, unfortunately. I tried.
You make the point in Thunderbird. but I think that the issue on Firefox.
The question may be because of your corrupt cookie (cookies.sqlite) file
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete the other files of cookie present as cookies.sqlite - journal in the Firefox profile folder where the cookies.sqlite file has been corrupted.
You can also check whether DOM Storage is enabled.
