Desktop
Icon Disappeared
1. The
first place to look for it is in your Recycle Bin. If there,
restore. When power use is employed, you may accidentally
click on the desktop. By default, desktop selects last icon
used. Any key movement may delete the shortcut.
2.You may have accidentally dragged it to your
desktop Toolbar or in windows 98 to the Quick Launch bar.
Drag it back if it's on the Quick Launch. If on the Toolbar,
you'll have to delete thru the customize menu.
3. Create a new shortcut. |
Program
is taking forever to get done.
1. The program
may have met a conflict and locked up. Employ Soft boot (Ctl+Alt+Delete).
Find your program in the list and scroll to the end of that
finding. If it reads "Not Responding",
select, click "End Task". Restart program. More
than likely what you did, was not saved. You may want to
practice saving your work at least every 30 minutes if the
program does not have an auto save feature. Or # 2.
2. Your calculations may be extensive and you have
minimum RAM plus a slow computer with a program that has
heavy memory needs. Add more RAM if getting a faster
machine is out of the question or put up with it being slow.
3. Empty your Recycle Bin. It may be overloaded and
avoid power use and multi-tasking. Exit all windows other
than the one you are using. Reducing the number of fonts
that are listed in your Windows\Fonts folder to just what
you need to free more RAM to handle your program are
alternatives. |

Shared
Printer won't print my document.
Shared printers
normally have a master computer controlling the print jobs
and will put your request in queue or the order the request
came in. If the printer is printing, it is likely that your
turn in line has not been reached. If
the printer is idle, it is likely a printing error has
occurred locking up the queue order for everyone. You
can open your Printer Panel and check to see if it's your
print job that is error. In any case, check with
person who has the computer that controls the printer, and
have him remove the job that is creating the error and
resume printing. Worst case scenario is that you have to
resubmit your print request through your computer. Printer

My
Printer
won't print my document.
1. Open your Printer
Panel to see if an error occurred. If so, delete request and
resubmit. If something is wrong with the printer, you
should get an error message like you're out of paper, the
machine isn't on, or the Order required a different size
paper than what's in the machine.
2. Your printer may only have 1 meg of memory and you
are asking it to print a complex graphical page that is 3
megs in size such as a large bmp file. The printer has to
stop and swap or spool from the computer that may take some
time. Wait for it to complete it's task, or install more
memory into your printer. There is also a
relationship of the speed of your computer to feed the
printer. Waiting is the price you pay for having a slow
machine that's trying to do a large job. Printer

How
do I get the font file I just downloaded to display in my
programs.
1.Fonts are normally
downloaded in a compressed file form as a ".zip"
or ".exe" file. You need to inflate the file to
get to the useable ".ttf" format of the font.

install.

to install. Select, Copy, Find C:\Windows\Fonts Folder,
Select "Fonts" Folder and Paste. Then open
Windows\Fonts folder and visually find the font you just

installing and alphabetizing the font in the cpu's registry. But as soon as it
appears, your other programs will find as well. You may need
