Drivers for HP Compaq 767TU Notebook - Which OS to use..., XP or Vista?

I noticed that most of the site visitors are looking for Compaq 767TU Drivers. If i'm not mistaken, they are looking for XP Drivers. I intended not to include the XP drivers as I've once use XP in this laptop. Yes XP drivers (definitely not from Compaq) will in some way works. But in order to maximize your machine, it is recommended to use softwares in which it is built for. Yah, I know, everyone says Vista is a crap. But remember, "No software is 100% complete, at max they can be 99% but will diminish over time. I'm currently using Vista, and it works fine.

Or maybe, you are just afraid to use something new, that you are not familiar, right? Well, you cannot be familiar with it unless you use it.

In addition, I heard that MS is not supporting XP anymore.., as decommissioned. A new OS is being developed already, which will be the successor of Vista. So, its as if XP is the old Windows 2000, or whatever old OS model, and Vista is XP, got it?

Modifying Excel 2007 Ribbon Component

For those Excel users who do not have an idea what an Excel Ribbon is, then i think a simple picture will help

This example show you sample ribbons (shortcuts for Excel), under the Home tab you will notice a Clipboard ribbon, Font ribbon, Alignment Ribbon, etc. To modify this you need to download "Office 2007 Custom UI Editor" available in http://openxmldeveloper.org/articles/customUIeditor.aspx. Install this mini application and open your excel file using this editor.

Type the following xml file and then save.

The first part of the xml hides the current Clipboart ribbon of Excel as shown by idmso="GroupClipboard" visible="false". The next part simply imitates the Group Clipboard, as i named it as Virtify Clipboard showing only the Copy and PasteValues part of the ribbon. I intentionally did not include the "Cut" and other Paste functionalities since i want to limit the user of my file to do this.

But note that additional items must be done to limit the user since he/she can use cut/paste functionalities without using the Clipboard ribbon. They could use the classic shortcuts like "Ctrl-X, Ctrl-V" key or simply by using the right click shotcuts. I will discuss these items on a separate blog.

I hope this helps...

Civil Wedding.... Oliver/Princess Style :-)

A friend told me once, that getting married is just like getting robbed, you will not know until it hits you. Hahaha... I know, i can't come up with a better analogy. I got married last year (December 28, 2007) having less than a week of preparation for everything. It just happened, and I am really happy after a long 8 years of relationship, we are at last .... :-)
