Does the other standard actually lay out all the calculations used to do
word breaks? That would seem to be a rather limiting standard, actually.

It doesn't on my XP machine either, it brings up the "Windows Security"
window, where Task Manager is an option.
To get task manager I usually right click on the task bar at the bottom and
choose it.

Hmm I think it has something to do with the user account settings and how
you log on, on my gf's laptop she has that list of users with the little
pictures to log on, but I have the normal logon box. ANd of course on hers
pressing C-A-D brings up the task manager instantly, but mine doesn't.
BTW I always put my laptop into stand-by mode, never actually shut it down.
Otherwise I need to put in some pesky USB security key and password to get
past the bios everytime I switch it on.

Oh! I only have one user account on that machine and I don't have to
logon. I do have a power on password. ;)

I usually hibernate mine but every now and again it needs a good
reboot.

Yeah worked well with XP; people are people. If you told someone they
should run as a LUser, but some of their programmes might not work/install
and anytime they wanted to change some stuff they'd have to retype their
admin password OR you could just run as an administrator (which appears to
be the default option again) everything runs/installs fine and you just
need to click on a button to confirm you want to run somthing; then what
will people do?
The latest wonder is that Media Player won't start unless "run as"
Administrator, doing a search reveals others with this problem and the
curernt solution is to unistall any 'suspect' media players. So bye-bye to
the only programme that'll play transport stream files and/or 4-on-demand.

First experience with Word 2007 was trying to simply open a file on the
network. The program started and I thought "So how the hell do I open a
file?" No File, Edit etc. menu; no Open File icon. I flicked through the
ribbons with no succes and hit F1 which directed me to the big windows
icon in the top left corner which I hadn't even noticed. I suppose I could
have tried Ctrl+O, just didn't occur to me at the time.

Yeah as discussed the default behaviour for Vista is the occasional
behaviour of XP depending on the user configuration.

http://content.apa.org/journals/psp/13/2/79.pdf oh and BTW it's not a pdf
file
I do recall something like this, someone would stand on the pavement and
look up at a particular point on a building. Passers-by would often also
look-up and occasionally also stop. When a crowd has gathered the
instigator would depart leaving said crowd of people staring up at a
building with no-one having any idea as to why.

Odd I thought I'd answered this, oh well.
Yeah the trial version of Office 07 was on it, and got removed; then
Outlook 07 was put back on. Stupidly I looked up the error code and
googled that rather then 'why doesn't Access 2k work with 07' I'll have a
look at that though I suspect the answer will be buy Access 07.
