    Technician's Tool Kit

    lw, Thanks for the info. I can't grip screws so i also use the "little yellow thing" as mentioned by wahnula. I think it is called a retractor. I don't do field work anymore just bench. A handheld or bench magnifier is a must for me. Dental picks (found at local hardware stores)are also good...

    PC takes a long time to boot up

    gearhead03, Try booting into safe mode. If it is still really slow then you may have other issues. Worth trying what TomCologne mentioned using Recovery Console and doing a repair.

    The compatibility-mode drivers might be loading from the DOSSTART.BAT or the SYSTEM.INI. Maybe even the WIN.INI Load or Run line.Might be worth having a look there.

    remote wake up

    pilihp, If your modem came with a cd or if you have the utility cd for your mobo then you might want to have a look there first. Most retail modems came with a cd that had phone center software on it that would do exactly that as well as caller id, voice mail ect. I haven't bought a dial-up...

    Making and restoring an 'Image'

    gbaughma, "I almost *never* have to reformat a machine and "start over". And shame on techs that do that; they're giving up on the problem instead of understanding and fixing it." I couldn't agree with you more......
