7 ultimate calculator miscalculating

[lectricfunrl]

I had home premium on my laptop and decided to upgrade it to ultimate (win 7 of course). Wierd thing and I can't say if it is from home premium as well, but since having ultimate on the laptop the calculator counts incorrectly.

I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this, if it is a virus (as no virus protection I have setup reads any danger).

How does one go about correcting something like this?
I don't even know what kind of information to post to get help with the issue.

Please explain. What do you mean by counts incorrectly?

 

[kucing13]

counts incorrectly? maybe like this 1+1=11 ?

or its just a total miscalculation

 

[lectricfunrl]

you know i'm not that good with numbers, but lets say I add two and three digit numbers, the sum comes out off by a hundred or so as compared to doing long math by hand. I might not know calculus, but I can add. the calculator counts wrong

i was adding up bank account problems.
i swear i was in the green, it says the red.
i added up my purchases to my balance, i got a figure 100 to the red with the calculator and less than 30 to the red by long math.
i double checked it, i tripled checked it in case it was a late night vision thing.
no, it counts wrong in the double and triple digits numbers.

obviously this doesn't help my bank account issue. boo!

 

[lectricfunrl]

no simple numbers like 1-10 or 20 or so it does just fine. but once i've entered seven or so double or triple digit numbers, the calculation is incorrect.

Can you give us some numbers to test? I'd like to test mine...

Are you entering the decimal point correctly? Give me some actual figures as an example (if these are from your bank account, under no circumstances post any revealing account information).

You might like to use the http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2022-problem-steps-recorder.html so that we can see this problem in action. You will need to zip the file up before attaching it (and please use Zip).

 

[lectricfunrl]

can i post a desktop recording and images? i can white out the bank info, i don't think it shows in the recording save the figures.

the decimal pints are correct it formats oddly in the paste

 

[lectricfunrl]

nother person said to make sure the calculator is in degree. don't know what that means. the oddest thing is the 149 entry was on, then off, now on my statement again. boo boo boo boo boo

Double check your addition again. I reach 1352.61 both manually and by calculator.

Tip: Unless otherwise specifically required, always use the calculator in Standard view.

 

[Dwarf]

What are the amounts you get for both methods? I notice that the last 4 amounts were still pending.

Same here. 1352.61, manually and by calculator.

Same here, 1352.61 manual calc, windows 7 calc, openoffice calc, iphone calc, desk calc, and Linux calc...

at least i know something's wrong.
on the calculator i got 1337.61 i guess.
and I have some images that are for nothing as well.
i got 1286.11 manually.
the last four are pending but the bank likes to change, sometimes they pend and you get charged when they clear other times you get charged before they clear then again when they clear and other times you get charged before they clear.
by hand i got 1286.11
on another calculator i got what you guys got which was 1352.61

wierd thing is i took images of the calculator next to the amounts being transacted, with the total on the calculator and now the image i have says 1210.41

now i'm scared to rewatch the recording lol.

3 people on my simple math problem. thanks. sorry for the bogus report, or whatever :/

 

[lectricfunrl]

it isn't my math man i even added in the new charges and rounded it up it doesn't equal but 1321

 

[zzz2496]

lectrifunrl, I've re-ran your numbers exactly as what you wrote in the doc.txt file, every time it summed up 1352.61, so it's not Windows's calculator problem for sure...
