There are programs that "may" be able to do that. They are all commercial, here are a few links: http://www.officerecovery.com/excel/ http://www.excelfix.com/ http://www.excel-recovery.net/ There is also an almost real-time service. http://www.excel-rescue.com/whatrecover/index.php The amount and accuracy of the recovery usually depends on the contents of the original sheet. 4660 bytes is a lot of overwritten data, it is possible that original names of the sheets inside of the workbook and contents of the first few top left cells have been overwritten, BUT IF the file has AT LEAST the first few top left cells somehow formatted differently from standard (i.e. for example as BOLD, TEXT, another FONT or FONT SIZE, etc.) or has many sheets, probably the entire content can be recovered. Depending on your skills and on importance of the data you lost, you might also want to consider either trying some tests with a Hex Editor or ask to a Professional Consultant. jaclaz

Why don't you read the post before replying? Remember that for runnning 98lite you need BOTH a Win95 and a Win98 license, besides a LEGITIMATE copy and license of 98lite itself. @nicke85 Please remove as soon as possible that link, you might be banned from the board: Rule #1 here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=18408 jaclaz

i know of the PE Builder thing but it did not work for me, can someone just give me something step by step, and sorry for posting that link i didn't know. thx in advance just for the record, that thread is really about re-creating an install CD from an existing HD install directory, not related to BartPE. jaclaz

Maybe there is a moral to this story..... ...Win95 can still be used for certain tasks.... jaclaz

hmm, cannot say, without knowing the type of installer used. You can have a go with this: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=62418&hl= and/or run the installer on a 98 machine using the tools and method listed here: http://z3.invisionfree.com/Boot_Land/index.php?showtopic=80 Than get just the .inf file and all files referenced in it + any dependencies. jaclaz

It is possible that the program does NOT output text, but rather an image or graphics not supported by plain txt printers? That would be consistent with your results with TXT printer. Try installing a PDF printer, than open the resulting file with Foxit PDF reader and see if you can copy (and paste elsewhere the text). jaclaz

You uploaded images for no apparent reason ??? Just joking! jaclaz

This one is freeware: http://wizard.ae.krakow.pl/~jb/xls2txt/ (for Linux) There is this PERL script: http://search.cpan.org/~ken/xls2csv/script/xls2csv And a derivative .exe: http://exodius.public.iastate.edu/ All the others I know of are commercial. jaclaz

You should check the site of your motherboard's manufacturer, usually USB version is specified in technical data. I used to provide this service, but my cristal ball is in the workshop for maintenance right now.... (silly answer) jaclaz P.S.: You can also try either SIV or SIW: http://www3.sympatico.ca/gtopala/about_siw.html http://siv.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/

If you have a complete /i386 directory and a working PC with burner you can most probably re-create an install CD. Read here: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=16381 jaclaz

Also when trying/using QEMU, expecially if not expert, use a GUI for it. This works very well: QEMU manager: http://www.davereyn.co.uk/index.htm jaclaz

Actually there WAS a release of Win95 with USB support. You can add USB support to the existing Win95, by "B" I presume you are referring to OSR2, actual releases are listed in my post here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...66entry482366 Read this: http://www.usbman.com/Win95%20USB%20Guide.htm Then you can try if the Win98 drivers work. jaclaz

@chee I think it is not possible without editing the sources and re-compiling it. Since the developer of GRUB4DOS is Chinese, and he made TWO builds, a Chinese and an English one, probably making a bi-lingual one is not so easy. @stickzilla As far as I know, GRUB4DOS GRLDR is the best tool to allow booting a floppy (or hard disk) image from the Boot.INI menu (thus complying with chee's request to NOT modifying the hard disk). There is an elder project, called ISOEMU, which code was ported partly into GRUB4DOS and a newer one, called AVLGOMGR, still experimental. Moreover there is a file floating around, Chinese as well, called vfloppy, that derives from Powerquest (now Symantec) virtual floppy app. Just search for the above on the 911Cd forum. jaclaz

1) I am pretty sure that rows/columns TAGS cannot be displayed in Word tables 2) I am not sure about tablename referencing Usually when anything more complex than a single column total is required it is easier to embed in the Word document an Excel table. http://wordprocessing.about.com/od/working...blexcellink.htm jaclaz

Most probably you have an incorrect (or however different) screen resolution setting. If you were running, for example at 1124x768 and your video board reset at 640x480 (VGA mode) all your icons will look roughly doubled and they will lose their position on the desktop (as there is "less space" in it than before). Try changing it back: http://www.helpwithpcs.com/tipsandtricks/c...tion-win-xp.htm It is also possible that you will need to re-install your video board drivers and/or reset your monitor settings. Here is a guide for installing new drivers: http://forums.ubi.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc...36/m/8721080493 jaclaz

Short answer: NO Better answer: YES, but it is not free: http://www.binaryresearch.net/UIU/About.htm jaclaz

@Nakatomi2010 No, using a Virtual Machine will prevent the correct working of most of the apps chee wants to run. (disk management tools usually need direct hardware access bypassing the HAL) @chee A very simple way to add a Dos of some kind without altering partitions is to use a DOS from a Virtual DISK, i.e. an image of a Dos disk. You can have this by using GRLDR, part of the GRUB4DOS project: http://sarovar.org/projects/grub4dos/ Documentation is quite scarce, a few example are in the readme.txt file of the download, here is a thread where I posted some info: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=16980 jaclaz

THIS is silent: http://www.markusleonhardt.de.nyud.net:8090/oelrechner.html http://www.markusleonhardt.de.nyud.net:8090/oelbilder.html jaclaz P.S.: and to keep you amused, this is an elder experimental project that failed: http://www.ranish.com/beerbox/

Yep, read these: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=12326 http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=16860 is where most of the ideas are summed up. jaclaz

Have a look at this thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=46654 and/or try contacting maninabox The link to the sp2.01 file is still valid. Also, do not use the word "cess to" instead of "end" or "terminate", an English user won't understand it, whilst an Italian that knows English will probably laugh to death! jaclaz

There are quite a lot of testing equipments that can do that, unfortunately they are "professional" thus quite pricey: http://www.sandman.com/digit.html but there also more simple ways: http://margo.student.utwente.nl/el/phone/dtmf.htm There are also some components (shareware): http://www.redsofts.com/soft/875/21698/Pho...ne_Decoder.html http://www.tapiex.com/PhoneToneDecoder.htm And some apps: http://www.reconphone.com/ http://www.personainternet.com/~northscan/files.html http://www.aiglonsoft.com/ Just search on google for "DTMF decoding software" or "DTMF decode" without quotes. or go here: http://drn.digitalriver.com/welcome.php and search for DTMF jaclaz

Most probably you simply have a corrupted MBR partition entry on that disk. You can try AFTER having backed up the mbr with a tool like MBRFIX or MBRWIZARD, links: http://home.graffiti.net/jaclaz:graffiti.net either command line or with my pseudo-GUI or with this other AutoIt one: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=10684 http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=10956 http://mbrwizard.tripod.com/ Use beeblebrox: http://students.cs.byu.edu/~codyb/ To change the partition type from 42 to the ID that it was before, i.e. 07 for NTFS, 06 for primary FAT16, etc, reference here: http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/partitions/partition_types-1.html If the above does not work, RESTORE the MBR and try using testdisk on the HD: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk jaclaz

NO, I just asked because it was nice and it is not easy to make a GRUB image. Here is my experience on those images: jaclaz

It is hardcoded (actually it is plain text) inside the IO.SYS system file. Probably (but I never tried doing so) it can be edited. jaclaz

Which format is the archive? If it is a .rar file, 7zip should NOT be able to do it, as it has ONLY UNRAR capabilities. Deleting a file from a .rar file means actually re-creating the file WITHOUT the deleted file(s), though the operation is transparent to the user. jaclaz
