Thank You vb5prgrmr! I didn't have much hope for the Label object (having tried all the dis/enable-refresh things already)- but I had to ask. I'm now reviewing all the other objects with '.print' properties to see what I've been missing. Thanks again - I was hoping the answer wasn't going to be...
Maybe it's an 'XP' thing - but my simple 'Big Clock' program that is nothing but a label (with big font) and a timer (1 sec) on a form is updating the time shown in the label's caption with an extremely irritating 'blanking' just before displaying the new caption. (It makes me want to blink.)...
Yup! 'Dud' or 'incompatible' or whatever - I moved on. The Linksys 10BaseT EtherPCI NIC with a Winbond chip is now in and working and showing it's MAC address like a good NIC should. It took a little 'back-n-forth' - installing/uninstalling/disabling onboard LAN/reinstalling NIC - to get this...
Addendum...
By enabling all integrated devices the Realtk NIC is pushed to PCI bus #3. Can't disable enough things to get it down to #1.
It's funny - apparently not all AwardBiIOS v6.00PG bios menus are equal. The BIOS screenshots I found online (...
Thanks Ben - I went looking for the 'OS' thing last night but all my bios has in that dept. is a "Is it OS2 or not" (not) thing. I've tried end slots and a middle slot - no diff., but did notice that the NIC card registers as being on PCI bus 2. I noticed that the only other things on that bus...
An update...
Yes, it IS rset8139.exe version 5.09, 2008 for RTL8139X.
Yes, it works fine in XP. In fact, I'd say it works really fine, as clicking my shortcut to a folder on the slave computer (Dell DIM8100/ME)popped up so fast I had the thought "Gee, that opened faster than it does on the...
Thanks guys - for the corroborating 'it might be a dud'. I was kind of hoping all those cheap cards for sale on eBay were there for some other reason.;-)
I did think of allowing it to install under XP, but since 'recognized as existing' was more than what I was getting with it's own...
Motherboard - ABIT IC7-G
Dual boot - XP/WinNT4
I'm trying to get a Realtek 8139D NIC to work with NT4 so I can run an obsolete/unsupported CAD program (that's licensed to the MAC address) on my new 'wide screen' system ('cause NT4 and dual monitors = oxymoron). The Realtek NICs, as I have been...
My program is done ;-) but I still need to polish off the whole registry/installation part. VB6 Learning Edition was fine for the basics, but now it's time to 'get it out there'.
I'm about to hit eBay - what should I look for?
