I set up BIOS and start loading XP on my computer. The install stopped me and asked me to put in a full version of windows even though the disc I put in there is the full version. I bought the disc through my college and it has an activation key and everything. Is anyone familiar with what to do? Thanks, Matt Hello everyone,

I got a problem with extracting specific phrases withing a long list of rows. Here is an example of 6 rows of my long document:

We sell big and small blue widgets at http://www.bluewidgetsdomain.com/
Our website is http://www.bluewidgetsdomain.com/
We sell many kinds of widgets. Go to this site for green widgets at http://www.green-widgets-domain.net/
Our website is http://www.green-widgets-domain.net/
We sell widgets. Check out red widgets at http://www.red-widgets-domain.org/
Our website is http://www.red-widgets-domain.org/

Qn 1) How can I extract the words bluewidgetsdomain, green-widgets-domain, red-widgets-domain from each row and delete the rest of the words

Qn 2) For the rows that have the phrase [widgets at], I want to extract all the words before [widgets at]. I would also like to know how to extract all the words after [widgets at]

Qn 3) I want to extract all domains with ending with .com only. (example, in this example the http://www.bluewidgetsdomain.com/ will be extracted)

Qn 4) I want to extract the words between [We sell] and [at]. (example, for row one, the extracted words will be [big and small blue widgets], for row 3 the extracted words will be [many kinds of widgets. Go to this site for green widgets], for row 5 the extracted words will be [widgets. Check out red widgets] )

Qn 5) If the domain have dashes, I want to remove the dashes. (example, http://www.green-widgets-domain.net/ will become http://www.greenwidgetsdomain.net/)

Qn 6) I want to remove all the slash at the end of the domains. (example, http://www.green-widgets-domain.net/ will become http://www.green-widgets-domain.net)

Qn 7) I want to delete all rows that start with [Our website]

I'm working on a vista machine that's got me pretty stumped. When I try to log in w/ username & password it sits on the welcome screen until I press ctrl+alt+del. It doesn't bring up the normal window that lets you log off or start task manager or whatever, it just goes on and finished loging in shortly after. Anyone seen this before?

I've disabled everything is msconfig and it still does it. It works fine in safe mode however.
