Why is my computer so slow?

There are many reasons a computer can be slower than when it was new. Windows computers tend to get slower over time as programs are added and removed and changes are made to the software and operating system. You can maintain it as much as you like but it always will get a little slower as its used. Think of it as a car that you tune up over and over but it never runs like it did when it was new. Many people will format their hard drive and reinstall everything from scratch every couple of years to keep things running smooth.
If you don't want to do that then you can perform various maintenance procedures like cleaning up unnecessary files such as temp files and log files. Windows has a built in disk cleanup utility or you can use a third party application like the free Ccleaner which does a better job. 
Another thing you can do is to defragment your hard drive on a regular basis to keep it optimized. Windows has a built in defragmenter or you can buy a third party program such as Diskeeper or PerfectDisk which will do a more thorough job.
One of the main reasons for computer slowdowns is caused by spyware infections that you get from downloading things from the internet that you may or may not even know were being installed. There are many free anti spyware/malware programs that you can download and install to scan your system for infections.
You may also want to check your startup items using the Windows System Configuration Utility or msconfig to see if there are any programs set to startup with your computer that you don’t want to start up that may be using resources and slowing it down.

I am unable to send or receive email?

Verify that your computer is able to see the Internet and/or other computers to ensure that your computer is not encountering a connection issue, which would be causing your e-mail issue. Ensure that your Internet e-mail server or your Network e-mail server is not encountering issues by contacting either your Internet Service Provider or your Network administrator.

The tool will take a while to download the software so be patient, particularly if you have a slow Internet connection. After it downloads, the software also goes through a preparation process and downloads some more files, all of which takes time, perhaps as long as an hour even on a high-speed connection.
5. Click Accept on the license terms screen. Wait again as the software checks for updates. You may want to walk away, as this also takes several minutes.
click accept
6. Click the Install button. Wait 20 to 30 minutes for the computer to copy files. It will reboot several times.
Click install
7. Click Next at the login screen.
Click Next
8. Click Use Express settings. You can always change some settings later.
Click Use Express Settings
9. Click Next on the "New apps for the new Windows" screen. The computer will say "finalizing your settings," and then take you to the Windows 10 lock screen.
Click Next
10. Log in to your computer. Windows 10 will take another couple of minutes to do an initial setup and then it will take you to the Windows desktop.

This workbook has lost its VBA project....

Ask Tech Support Specialists Now


Answer

You get this error because during the installation of MS Office, the "Visual Basic for Application" was not installed.

By default this is installed, but you can uncheck it. "Visual Basic for Applications" is needed to run macros and add-ins such as ASAP Utilities.

Without Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) several Excel features in the following categories are unavailable:

· VBA Projects, XLM Macro Code, and ActiveX Controls

· Uncompiled Add-ins (.xla files)

· Menu Items, Toolbar Buttons and Shortcut Keys related to VBA

We still don't understand why Microsoft doesn't make this error message more user-friendly and just tells that Visual Basic for Applications isn't installed.
Quick solution

To solve you can simply change your installation of MS Office and add this feature.

1. Close Excel if it is open.

2. In the Windows Control Panel choose "Add or Remove Programs" (or Programs and Features in Windows Vista or Windows 7).

3. Select Microsoft Office in the list and click on the Change button.

4. Choose "add or remove features"



5. Select "Visual Basic for Applications" in the "Office Shared Features" list and set it to "Run from My Computer". Then click on the continue button.



6. After the installation is finished you will be able to use ASAP Utilities when you start Excel and see ASAP Utilities in the menu.
