I'm not quite understanding exactly what you want to do.  Can you post a screenshot?

I want the rows with duplicate numbers gone but not any other row

Ok, so you just want to clear the individual cells with duplicates or the entire row? 

Like, with the duplicate 76355, you just want the 2nd number to go away and display as a blank cell?  Or do you want that entire row gone?

Possibly the USB driver.  There are ways to troubleshoot it, but I know you're not the most tech savvy person out there and this is something that I know I wouldn't be able to adequately explain and you'd probably end up making things worse.  Maybe a supernerd like GF could talk you through the process. 

If it's a relatively new laptop (say less than 2 or 3 years old) then you might want to consider taking it to a computer repair.  Preferably a real computer repair shop, not Geek Squad at Best Buy....unless you purchased it at BB and got Geek Squad protection with it. 

If it's older than a few years, I'd just scrap it and get a new one.  Do yourself a solid and get a Macbook.  You'll pay more upfront but it'll last you a decade.

its not new and it was cheap as shtein...i just went ahead and ordered a new laptop....doesnt seem worth the trouble and i can still use this one for everything that doesnt require usb ports

Good thing is (I assume) you're still keeping all of your music on an external.  It'd be kind of challenging to move all that content to a new computer since your USB drives are dead.

Also, I just recently upgraded my Office suite to Office 365.  shtein is pretty dope.  Got a friend who works for Microsoft and he hooked me up with a friends and family pass that got me a 1yr subscription for $20, but it's not overly expensive to begin with....1yr sub costs a hundy. 

But the best part of it is that I can share it with up to 5 people and it's not OS specific, so I have it on my Mac desktop, squaw has it on her Windows laptop and I'm going to put it on my mom and daughters' laptops as well.  Each person gets their own account that comes with 1tb of free OneDrive cloud storage.  I think it also allows for use of their mobile apps on 5 devices too....though I doubt any of us would ever use them.

Can't install it on a Chromebook, but their web suite looks to be identical to the desktop suite, which makes it far superior to google docs. 

Even at full price, it's not a bad deal.  Way better than paying $300 every time they come out with a new version.

I do have that but I also have all my music on one of those micro disks

only thing on my hard drive was programs...I'm dumb but I ain't stupid when it comes to my music

My vertical scroll bar has recently gone into hiding.  I have to fish around for it to appear so I can scroll.  I don't like that.  How do I make it display permanently again?
