Automatically close idle document using

Hello,

We have a word document at work that gets edited/updated by many ppl, problem is sometimes ppl forget it opened and others cant edit it

I needed to put a vba code in this particular document to save & close document if selection does not change for 5 minutes even if user is using the computer for other purposes.

Thanks in advance

Anwsers to the Problem Automatically close idle document using

Download SmartPCFixer for Free Now

Install this code in a module in the document, and save the document as a "Microsoft Word Macro-Enabled Document (*.docm)".
See
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if needed.

Const interval As Double = 5 ' minutes
Dim selStart As Long
Dim selEnd As Long

Sub AutoOpen()
    selStart = 0
    selEnd = 0
    Application.OnTime When:=DateAdd("n", interval, Now), Name:="CheckStatus", Tolerance:=120
End Sub

Sub CheckStatus()
    If Selection.Start <> selStart Or Selection.End <> selEnd Then
        selStart = Selection.Start
        selEnd = Selection.End
        Application.OnTime When:=DateAdd("n", interval, Now), Name:="CheckStatus", Tolerance:=120
    Else
        ThisDocument.Close SaveChanges:=wdSaveChanges
    End If
End Sub

When the document is first opened, it starts a timer.
After 5 minutes (or whatever number of minutes you assign to the constant named 'interval'), the CheckStatus macro will run.
At that time, if the selection has changed since the document was opened (or since
the previous time the CheckStatus macro ran), the selection's location is updated and the timer is restarted.
If the selection is still in the same place, the document will be saved and closed without notice.

In practice, there could be a couple of 'unintended consequences'.
One is that this code doesn't care whether the selection has moved away from its previous location and then back to the same spot (most likely the beginning of the document, start = 0 and end
= 0), so it could close the document prematurely.
Another is that the same careless person might notice immediately that the document has disappeared, and reopen it before anyone else gets a chance.
I don't think much can be done about either of these possibilities.

If you can replace Word 2007 with Word 2013, it allows simultaneous editing of a document by multiple people.
Each user's edits lock only the paragraph(s) that they're editing, and those locks are released when that user saves (and everyone else is notified
to refresh).

Check Windows System Requirements

This error can be due to some configuration requirements for you system. If your PC hardware is not up to par, then make sure you upgrade where necessary before continuing:

Microsoft Windows Requirements :

Are there system utilies that can be downloaded after a pc is bought?

I am a collage student taking computer science networking.

Is there a list of "aftermarket" system utilities? If so, I have been unable
to find it.

There isnt a definative list, if you search for system utilities you will probably get most hits from utilities that state they will optimise and speed up your PC, for the most part these are utilities that can cause system/program failures.
If you want utilities for networking ask in the networking group

How to Avoid Downloading Malware

Where are you getting the download?

There are malicious people who download valid copies of a popular download, modify the file with malicious software, and then upload the file with the same name. Make sure you are downloading from the developer's web page or a reputable company.

Cancel or deny any automatic download

Some sites may automatically try start a download or give the appearance that something needs to be installed or updated before the site or video can be seen. Never accept or install anything from any site unless you know what is downloading.

Avoid advertisements on download pages

To help make money and pay for the bandwidth costs of supplying free the software, the final download page may have ads. Watch out for anything that looks like advertisements on the download page. Many advertisers try to trick viewers into clicking an ad with phrases like "Download Now", "Start Download", or "Continue" and that ad may open a separate download.

I have some rows hidden in my worksheet for various reasons and then I apply an AutoFilter.
Afterwards I want to return to the previous state but when I select "ALL" in the AutoFilter, Excel reveals all the hidden rows, including those that were hidden
prior to the AutoFilter. Is there any way to work around this?

Thanks

[Solved] Atikmpag.sys and Atikmdag.sys Blue Screen

Atikmpag.sys and Atikmdag.sys Blue Screen

So here are my system specs that would be important in regards to this issue :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series - Driver Version 8.961.0.0
Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 Build 7601
AMD Anthlon II X3 425 Processor
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Basically, when I am playing games such as League of Legends, it has become more often that usually at some point in the game, my screen will get a diagonal pattern of 0.5cm^2 squares, predominantly red but have discoloration (RGB).
At this point, I can still
hear sound comming from the game (via headset).
Then, the screen will go black, where i can still hear sounds for a few seconds, then I hear nothing.
Then, the screen turns back on.
It gives me a page with a blue background, and along with other info, an error
that says either ATIKMDAG.SYS (this is what used to happen), or ATIKMPAG.SYS (This is what it shows now).
Along with this however, there are 3 vertical bands stretching from the top to bottom of my computer, of discoloration, (RGB) in a pixelated matter, about 3 inches in width, equal distance apart.
As i leave the screen, within 20 seconds the screen begins
to pixelate and discolor all over, to a point where i can no long read the error message.
This screen stays on until I shut down the computer.
When I restart the computer, the blue HP screen that gives me the option to view boot menu, system recovery, and
2 other options by pressing the F keys.
On this screen however, there are 3 bands of discoloration.
Next, it moves to a screen that scares me.
It is black, with flashing white boxes ALL OVER the screen, with all different colors, and the wierdest characters
i have ever seen, somewhat like the matrix that everyone knows of, except instead of being green scrolling on black, there is no scrolling just blinking, flashing, and all sorts of colors.
So after this point, it will move on to the screen that lets me choose between Safe mode, " " with networking, " " with cmd prompt, and Start Up Normally.
On this screen again there are 3 bands of discoloration.
If i press safemode, the bars persist throughout
the whole startup process, and the screen is pixelated beyond belief.
If i start up normally the bars persist to the windows logo screen.
At this point, it stays stuck on this screen for a while, before it moves on to the blue screen I mentioned before, which
does not go away.
So the only way to turn my computer on, seems with waiting, countless tries of unplugging, turning off the power, and starting + restarting.
It starts maybe 1/30 tries.

----
Now, to fix this i have done a couple of things.
I have gone on the AMD website, and updated my drivers.
I have cleaned the outer ducts of my computer of dust.
I have tried unplugging, then plugging back in the monitor.
----
Now I need to know how to solve this issue.
I have no prior knowledge of taking apart my computer (which is an HP Desktop, with an LG monitor), so I would prefer methods that would not involve buying a new motherboard/video card.

----
Please help, as this is very urgent.

Manually editing the Windows registry

Caution: Unless you an advanced PC user, please do not edit the Windows registry manually.

Because of this risk, we highly recommend using a trusted registry cleaner such as SmartPCFixer Using a registry cleaner automates the process of finding invalid registry entries, missing file references (like the one causing your MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION error), and broken links within the registry. A backup is automatically created before each scan, with the ability to undo any changes in a single click, protecting you against the possibility of PC damage. The best part is that repairing registry errors can also dramatically improve system speed and performance.

Click the Start button.
Type "command" in the search box... DO NOT hit ENTER yet!
While holding CTRL-Shift on your keyboard, hit ENTER.
You will be prompted with a permission dialog box.
Click Yes.
A black box will open with a blinking cursor.
Type "regedit" and hit ENTER.
In the Registry Editor, select the Error 0x9C-related key (eg. Windows Operating System) you want to back up.
From the File menu, choose Export.
In the Save In list, select the folder where you want to save the Windows Operating System backup key.
In the File Name box, type a name for your backup file, such as "Windows Operating System Backup".
In the Export Range box, be sure that "Selected branch" is selected.
Click Save.
The file is then saved with a .reg file extension.
You now have a backup of your MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION-related registry entry.

The next steps in manually editing your registry will not be discussed in this article due to the high risk of damaging your system. If you would like to learn more about manual registry editing, please see the links below.

Average of cells excluding those with specific formatting (Fill)

Hi,
I have a table of data from which I want to get two averages from each row.
One is the normal average, the other is the average which excludes certain values. Those values to be excluded are designated by colored fill (highlighting). I still want those
values to be visible, but not included in the 2nd average.
My current average formula is "=AVERAGE(D3:Z3)" which is filled down the page.
I cannot work out how to alter that to exclude any highlighted cells.
Can it be done?
Thanks.
