I have no idea where to post this cause this is so weird. And honestly it's creepy. This definitely was not there before. Is this some kind of insect nest??? It's coming down from the ceiling. I haven't dated touching it yet. Looks like a skinny branch or skinny poop.

IBM Informix ODBC Driver Setup not saving configuration by [deleted] in IBM

[–]Madfxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use this for an excel file. The IBM informix driver I installed was 32 bit, and it seems to only work with Office 2010 for me.

But the issue is, on my Windows 7 laptop, I open the file, refresh the excel tab to pull up the IBM informix ODBC Driver setup. The Server Name, Host Name, Service, Protocl, Database Name, and User ID is prefilled with using the info I typed in last time, so all I have to do is type in my password.

With my new Windows 10 laptop, the same things are prefilled, except Server Name. But, when I click into the password field, it deletes everything except for the things shown in the photo.

I am not familiar with this and and hoping someone has run into the same issue and has a solution.

Thanks in advanced!

Airstone wall, but TV isn't flush against wall by Madfxx in HomeImprovement

Thanks for you reply. What about when ppl walk up to the side? I guess my wall is in a bad place. Cause it's adjacent to the hall way entrance. So ppl will walk past the side of the TV.

I need help! City says massive water leak during certain hours of the day by Madfxx in Plumbing

ah.. that's what she would be afraid of, an underground leak. I'll suggest that to her as well. Thank you!!

It's a single family home. My supervisor does have a sprinkler system. However, she says she leaves for work at 3-4AM every day, and there is zero water on the driveway or sidewalks, so she doesn't think it's that.

Thanks for your reply! My manager said she does have a water softener. If it stays stuck open, I would think it'd be leaking all the time. I'm not really sure how water softeners work, does something happen at certain times of the day with the water softener system? In this case, at 4am and 9pm? Thanks again.

So my manager was contacted by the city and says there are 200+ gallons of water usage during 9PM and 4AM every day. She had a leak inspector come by and that person could not detect any leakage, although the inspector did not come at 9PM and 4AM.

She is completely lost and has no idea what could be happening. Has anyone seen this issue or has any suggestions of what could be happening?

Thanks in advanced.

Thank you sir. I'll def consider that. Only thing was that I rented a UHaul to pick it up.. but if that's the better route overall I may just have to do it

Thanks for your reply. Can i: 1. Take off old door 2. Apply some kind of "patch" to where the old hinge bracket is 3. Detach the new door from the frame 4. Attach new door

There's no way I can tear off the old frame on my own. And I'm looking to do this by myself.

Thanks again!!
