  Hi all
  
  I want to add a footer frame in the main section of a report that will not get pushed off the page by an extensible framework above it, which can develop vertically, but will still allow the extensible framework continue on the next page (and print another foot on this page as well. I paint a blank on how to do it with anchor or frameworks encompassing etc points.

  Extend the extensible framework until the footer frame. Change the elasticity vertical expandable framework to contract or fixed. In this case, pull-out frame will be printed until the foot of the page and will then continue on the next page.

  I hope this helps.

• I'm set up XP for automatic updates, but I also received several updates that are not install

  no error code says just failed

  Thanks for your help and I have the following answers for you so far, my anti virus is with Kaspersky and the subscription is up to date, the malicious software removal tool has been downloaded successfully but I had some problems with safe mode which, for some reason, does not open but in the meantime, I ran the mrt and it produced a report saying that no problem not found. Re safe mode, my 4 choices on screen was as usual ST380011a, CDROM, USB HDD, INT LAN and I tried all but comes to open the windows?

  When you did install Kaspersky... When you purchased the system first or recently?

  Is it just Kaspersky Antivirus or is a suite that includes a firewall?

  The 4 choices you posted are quite rare, if you indeed tried to fashion without failure. It seems that you have entered the BIOS Setup , better known as the installer, not Mode without failure.
  The Start Menu, which is what you are trying to access the list

  Safe mode
  Safe mode with networking
  Safe mode with command prompt

  Last good known Configuration
  etc.

  Please open the WindowsUpdate.log
  Scroll to the bottom of the journal.
  Place the cursor on the bottom right and left , click on the mouse.
  This will put a flashing line, it

  Hi Bruce,.

  Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

  According to the description you posted in your message seems that you can not install updates, this problem may occur if one or more of the following conditions are met:

  1. The Windows Update database is damaged.
  2. Antivirus software is configured to scan the folder % Windir%\SoftwareDistribution.
  3. Service (BITS) Background Intelligent Transfer Service does not receive a content link header.
  4. A required system file is incorrectly registered.

  If the problem persists I suggest to reset the Windows Update components and for this, try to run the fixit described in the following article. If you already tried the fixit even before that I ask of you rerun the fixit.

  Note: the manufacturer was required to provide a way to reinstall Windows. If it is not a set of disks with the computer, there will be a hidden restore partition (do not be confused with the system restore), you would use to return the computer to the State of the OOBE (Out of Box Experience).

  Usually, just by pressing F11 continuously during the computer startup to display a boot menu offering the option you need.

  You may need to contact the manufacturer of your hardware (Dell) to see what options they have to repair Windows.
