    Floppy Drive F?

    Thank you so much. I'll try that in Win. Explorer and see if it's mapped.

    Floppy Drive F?

    You might be both be right. It might be a LS120. Maybe WIN didn't recognize it as such so it got mapped as Removable F. I can't see any other reason for the BIOS not letting me change it from floppy drive "none" to "3.5 B" other than that it just couldn't read the drive...

    Floppy Drive F?

    The page up/down worked. I changed the B from none to 3.5 option, but when I rebooted, the reboot stopped at the last sentence which read "Floppy Disk(s) failure", so I rebooted and went back into bios and reset the 2nd floppy to "none" and it rebooted fine. Guess I'm stuck...

    Floppy Drive F?

    Thanks so much. I'll try the page up - page down as soon as I get home. Never thought of that. I'm sure you're right. Probably right about the ls120 too because when my husband rebuilt this computer (5-1/2 yrs ago) he was talking about zip drives and read/write cds so maybe he was getting this...

    Floppy Drive F?

    I went into the BIOS to see what it said. it showed the second floppy as None - instead of B. I went into MSD and saw that DOS sees Drives A,B,C,D and E. D&E being CDROM I went back to the BIOS to change the second floppy from None to 3.5, but my left right arrows which should have allowed me to...

    Floppy Drive F?

    I'm trying to get my backup computer running and I recently formatted C. I just noticed there's something strange about the two floppy drives - one is of couse A: but other one is shown as "Removable Drive F". Why did someone set it up as "F" instead of say "B&quot...

    Please help with Win Explorer Problem

    I can't get my windows 95 explorer to show the Directories and sub-files. It only shows the second half of the pane which are the Trees of each of those missing Directories/folders. I checked RegEdit and in particular under HKEY-CURRENTYUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion/ Explorer...

    snickm Explorer question

    I also can't get explorer to show normal files only the trees. I tried HKEY-CURRENT-USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer and the only thing I find under the Explorer there is: Cabinet State; Desk View; New shortcut; Handle Recent Docs, Run MRU, Shell Folders; Stream MRU...

    BEFORE I INSTALL VIDEO DRIVER?

    I forgot to mention - the computer is not hooked up to the internet and can't be so I can't have the computer diagnosed from that site you mentioned. Wish I could have would have made life easier.

    BEFORE I INSTALL VIDEO DRIVER?

    Rockerfellerz - thanks for your response. That is really bad news. I'm sure you're right that the description is actually from the video bios. But wouldn't that basic information, the company and the model have to have come also from the video card itself in order for it to show up on the...

    BEFORE I INSTALL VIDEO DRIVER?

    Need some advice: I finally discovered thru DEBUG at the DOS prompt the video driver installed on my motherboard. It's a Matrox Millennium (V1.9) PCIR + 838-9, whatever all that extra means? (my video card is a pre 1998 model probably 1997).I went to the MATROX site and found the earliest dated...

    WIN95 COMPANION

    Thanks for your help. It's even worse than I thought. Obviously, I was ripped off. That CD costs me over $30. Not to have the setup file on the disk is really sneaky and the seller had to have known that. No more EBay for me.

    WIN95 COMPANION

    My Win95 disk was severely damaged so I bought a replacement at an auction on Ebay. When I tried to install it to my computer, it stopped dead shortly after startup. I noticed on the WIN 95 cd it says "COMPANION", which my old CD didn't. Does COMPANION mean that it's programed only...
