Thank you.

The NIC has jumpers, but they aren't for resetting an IRQ on the NIC. I have the spec sheet for the card. It says the jumpers are for power saving and wakeup LAN. There is also a rotating switch for PCI ID selector. Range 0-3 according to the spec sheet.

Hi, it's a bios message. I have already cleared the bios, it still hasn't helped. :( I don't have a spare network card at the moment. I wish I did. When I hit ESC on the keyboard from the POST screen, Win XP Pro loads normally and the nic is in the hidden devices section of device manager.

Ok I am beyond stumped on how to fix this. Here's what happened. My previous video card got partially fried. I wonder if that happened due to switching inputs on my dual input monitor!!!! So a friend gave me an agp2x ati card. I put it in and now it doesn't want to play nice with my ethernet...

Yes to all three questions.

Also are you sure its not showing up? Do you not get additional drive letters in My Computer? No. My Computer only shows one drive. What does Disk Management say about the second partition? Doesn't exist. The drive is shown as one partition. The laptop doesn't physically turn on at all.

My friend's old laptop went kaput [as in doesn't turn on at all] and she asked me to backup the data on it. The hard drive has winxp installed on it, ntfs with two partitions. Put the hard drive [IDE 2.5 inch] into an external USB enclosure. Hooked it up to both a winxp pro s3 computer and a...

Thank you so much for all your help. I was tired when I wrote the question. You answered my question. I just need the text to stack vertically that's all.

I was hoping to pull this off with a few lines of code not a function that does it by individual character. I was looking at that function before and wondering how fast it will process on at least 50 words of about 4-10 characters each. I'll test out manual's comments example.... I guess gd...

$font = "arial.ttf"; imagettftext($image, 16, 90, 590, 350, $textColor, $font, 'Thank You'); Is there anyway to simulate the photoshop vertical text tool? So each letter individually rotates 90 degrees. i.e. T h a n k Y o u If no do I have to get a vertical true type file for arial or verdana?

$replace="$1 $6$8"; What do the dollar signs and numbers refer to?

Having a problem preserving words. input: $string = 21st street 1st street; or $string = 21st st 1st st; $patterns[0] = '[(?<=[0-9])st|nd|rd|th]'; $patterns[1] = '/ave.*?\b/'; $patterns[2] = '' //confused... $replacements[0] = ""; $replacements[1] = "ave"; $replacements[2] = "st" $str =...

I was given some non validating huge xml files to work with. I need to print the words enclosed between certain tags. Example: There are 25 instances of words inside <def> </def> tags in an xml file. How do I output only the 25 words in between the tags? The xml files are on average 3MB...

Well I am very happy to say that I used a copy of gparted live and my hard drives are still intact! WooHoo! Initially wanted to use presizer but it only works on hard disks with a certain cluster size? 512 bytes, my relic of a dell [10 years old] has a 13 gig maxtor that apparently has a...

Tight fit for an installation of winxp? I was going to install a really stripped down version of it. Winxp pro only took about 1.5 gigs last time I installed it.
