Hi,
Im just in the process of trying to take my documents from the house pc upstairs, to my laptop ... using a usb flash memory drive,
i insert the usb in the socket, go to my documents,,, and i send , for example.. my envelope labels, to the removable drive......
when i insert it in the laptop, it says "windows needs to look on the internet to open this programme"... or browse... so i select "microsoft word"
and its all double dutch and mumbo jumbo.... HELP :)
Thats my first attempt and i have loads and loads to move...
its a 1 gig memory stick.
Main pc is XP
and laptop is VISTA.
Thanks for any help on this.
Gary.

Hi
Instead of using send.
Go to the documents that you want to save to the flash drive.
Right click on the folder where these labels are, then left click on copy, navigate to the flash drive in My Computer, Open up the flash drive and right click and select paste ... the documents will be copies to the flash drive.
I take it that this is what you are tying to do?
If not ask away and I will try to help
-
when you insert your USB stick in ignore anything that compes up, click on the cross, or click cancel.
Then copy and paste docs.

Gazza,
this message
windows needs to look on the internet to open this programme
Means that on your laptop there is a programe that you dont have that can read the data/documents on your flash drive.
So you have to choose the correct programme/application. If you do not have it you need to install it.

you can do this
http://us20.trymicrosoftoffice.com/product.aspx?family=publisher&culture=en-US
Down load a free trial, this will get you going. But when the trial ends you need to either buy it, or uninstall it.
Hope this helps

Cheers.

If its pre installed click on the Vista start button thats the windows logo bottom left.
Click on programes and look for Microsoft Office, It will want to install it. Or did you remove it previously.
The way to tell is go to Control panel, Programs and features do you see Microsft Office in there? If not you have removed it.
-
Hi,
no, its pre-installed on the main pc.
-
So download it via your laptop!
-
Thanks Dave, i will do...
I just thought something like that would be free .
Naive eh ???.
Thanks again :) ;)
-
Cant i down load it from my main pc ???
Just a thought... through the flash drive.
-
copy and paste publisher etc.
-
Nope it might not alow that.. why cant you download it via your laptop.
Can you connect to the web with your laptop? if so open a browser on your laptop and download it that way.
-
I can yes... i just didnt want to pay lol. ;)
-
Hi,
no, its pre-installed on the main pc.
what happens if you need to format or something, you dont have any installation back ups?
Maybe you have the "emergency" disc that loads everything on it again... i hate those..
-
Chris If you need to format, it wont know it was already on your PC as its a fresh install.
But its free Gazza... as its a TRIAL version you get so many days.. this will allow you to veiw and edit the info for the time being.
Dave
-
Thanks..
after the free trial... if i dont buy... will i still be able to print the stuff i need as and when..... as i may just use the trial and not buy it ??
-
I know it was possible to veiw the stuff. But you cant edit the docs after the trial.
I am not sure if you can print.
You could download from piratesbay.. using abit torrent, it should have a key as well... you know the serial number to unlock it to make it work. but i am not recomending you do that! As that would be very naughty!
-
;D ;D ;D
-
If you have the serial, then dl the trail and unlock it.
That how most of the cracked programs are working now, apart from reg edit changes..
-
hi gazza
if you look on www.majorgeeks.com
the is a free program on there that will open and read almost any file :)
cannot think of the name , sorry

no, open up the memory stick folder, and minimize it to task bar then open up where photos are highlight them, then drag them to the taskbar still holding down the left mouse button where the flash drive folder is on task bar at bottom, hover over it and it will open it point mouse into the white space and take finger off left mouse button (still copying but saves loads of time) all highlighted photos are now being copied to the stick
-
Or
If the photos are in a folder, just right click on that folder, A menu will apear left click on copy.
Now open you usb stick and paste the folder... all the contents of that folder will transfer to the usb stick...inc the folder.
