    Getting Ready to move, Packing Tips?

    I take my PC(s) up to the cottage usually once or twice during the summer.  I just throw the monitor on the floor of the van making sure that the glass is covered with a blanket, toss in the CPU box, make sure that both items don't fall over, and head on up the highway!  The...

    Noise SB Live card

    I have basically the same problem with my embedded sound when I run Windows 2000 on my PC.  Like you mention, sound is all crackly and broken up.  When I reboot and go into Win95, the MP3 and Wav files sound great.  Must be something to do with the Win2K sound...

    laptop or desktop which is better?

    Dollar for dollar, you best buy, by far, is the desktop.&nbsp;&nbsp;For the same CPU/HD/RAM etc. the notebook will probably cost you double the money for the same performance.<br>If money is no object and you need the portability, by all means, go for a notebook.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then, get yourself a...

    Psion cards on Thinkpads

    Is the Thinkpad cardbus or pcmia?&nbsp;&nbsp;I don't know too much about these things, but apparently the older notebooks are PCMIA but <b>NOT</b> Cardbus.&nbsp;&nbsp;Unfortunately, the Cardbus cards fit into the PCMIA slots just fine, thank you, but getting them to work is near...

    Error 16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem

    How did you determine that your problem is the NTIO.SYS file?<br>I'm not very clear on exactly what is the original problem.&nbsp;&nbsp;Do you have a problem running a specific 16bit app or can you not run command.com or from the Start&gt;Run box?&nbsp;&nbsp;&quot;Command&quot; is the 16bit...

    ethernet speed

    The protocols that you use can affect the speed.&nbsp;&nbsp;You will get different results if you use NETBUI vs IPX vs TCPIP.<br>The quality of the interconnecting cable can affect the speed.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you have a CAT5 cable then it should be good for 100Mb/s so it shouldn't affect speed...

    Micron PC will not boot past POST -- cannot enter setup even

    I had a similar problem last night with a PC.&nbsp;&nbsp;Did some changes, rebooted, <b>BANG</b>, no video and speaker just a whining and I could not even get into the bios.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ripped everything apart, had the motherboard bare on my workbench but still the same problem.&nbsp;&nbsp;I then...

    Peer networking doesn't find all computers.

    I think for Netbui and file sharing, you must <b>create and share</b> at least one folder or printer on each PC before the PC will show up in Network Neighborhood.&nbsp;&nbsp;It doesn't seem to be this way with TCP/IP protocol but it does seem to happen with either Netbui or IPX protocols.<br>...

    Control Panel Freeze

    When you launch Control Panel, it looks through your system directory and finds all the CPL files.&nbsp;&nbsp;Normally these would be in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.<br>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;So, what you can do is perform a search (Find) and look for all the *.CPL files in the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM...

    Windows 98 Installation on Ancient Machine

    The other way to install would be to install the hard drive in another PC, say a Pentium.&nbsp;&nbsp;Install 98 bare bones as you don't want to waste time customizing it to the Pentium.&nbsp;&nbsp;Once it is up and running, yank out the drive and reinstall back in the 486.&nbsp;&nbsp;Fire it up...

    Why does my keyboard turn off on boot-up

    The status of the NUM LOCK key is specific for each user, and it is disabled by default. If you want the NUM LOCK key enabled for use before a user presses CTRL+ALT+DEL to log on, you must use Registry Editor to change the default<br>behavior.<br>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>To enable NUM LOCK before a...

    Drive Mappings Ghosting

    Sounds like the NET Use command is mapping the drives &quot;persistent&quot;, which means that the PC remembers the connections so that the mapping does not have to be done next time the user logs on.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then, the user logs off sometime during the day and then logs back...

    Nt Networking

    Have you considered using Windows 2000.&nbsp;&nbsp;You might even get away with using Windows 2000 Professional, the workstation version rather than the server?&nbsp;&nbsp;It has Internet Connection Sharing built in and works great.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am using it will my home network, dial-up to my...

    Problem Installing ODBC Driver

    Do you have admin rights on this PC?&nbsp;&nbsp;Are you logged onto the PC as local administrator, or domain administrator or a user with equivalent rights?&nbsp;&nbsp;Each key in the registry has security as well just like the folders, so there could be some problem with rights.&nbsp;&nbsp;If...

    How do get past 26 drive letters for pseudo-CD-tower?

    Go with your own second suggestion.&nbsp;&nbsp;Create one folder called CDs or CDROMs and then create a sub-folder under that for each CD.&nbsp;&nbsp;Copy each physical CD into its own folder that you have created.&nbsp;&nbsp;Share each folder individually and the users can then map their own...
