[dba-Tech] Calculator

Steve,
Did you upgrade over w2k or do a fresh install of XP?

If you upgraded that could be your problem. It may have "upgraded" the problem from 2k to XP :o(

Sorry if this sounds too simple but have you tried removing the calculator via Windows XP Add/Remove applet then adding it back again?

John

Dear Group,

I'm almost too embarrassed to ask about this. I recently upgraded my Windows 2000 w/s to Windows XP Pro. All went pretty well except for a couple of programs that wouldn't work unless I logged in with Administrator rights.

One thing that I hoped would be "fixed" when I upgraded was the Windows calculator. In Windows 2000 I'd start up the calculator to translate from decimal to hex and back. The standard calculator looked and acted just fine; but when I would switch to scientific the calculator window would get a bit taller to accommodate the extra rows of keys, but it wouldn't get any wider. And no scroll bar to see what's on the right side of the calculator. It would still work. I could type in a decimal number, hit the Hex button, and Ctrl-C the result into my HTML editor, say. But for the life of me I couldn't figure out why the darn thing wouldn't let me see the whole scientific calculator.

Now that I've upgraded to XP the calculator still acts in the goofy fashion. Does anyone have a clue as to what I can do to cure this?
