Wierd. I'm going along just fine--doesn't matter where I am (application, Windows Explorer, whatever), and all the sudden the screen goes blue. No error messages, just turns blue. I reboot, and all is normal again--until the next time. I ran an up-to-date virus check--nothing. Any ideas? Butch...

Every once in a while, the task bar on my Windows XP desktop turns black for a few seconds, then returns to normal. The last time, the task bar just stayed black, and I had to reboot because neither the mouse nor the keyboard would register on anything except the start button. It doesn't happen...

Thank you for the comment. However, the largest attachment I have tried to send is 374KB, which falls far short of 2MB. I believe it is a Windows 2000 problem since I had no troubles at all with Windows 98. I am just getting familiar with Win 2K, so does anybody know how to adjust the MTU...

All I know is that I remember having a machine wih Windows 3.11 on top of DOS 6.22, and I had to use a DDO to get it to recognize a 1GB HDD. But . . . I dunno . . . perhaps it was the BIOS of that machine. If you say you saw it in DOS itself, Blujacket, I believe you. It's good to know. Butch...

The maximum sized partition under DOS 6.2 is 512MB, unless, of course, you use a DDO (dynamic disk overlay) program, which is designed to fool DOS and BIOS (in older machines) into allowing a larger disk. Such a program can be downloaded from the site of many hard drive manufacturers. Butch...

Okay, I spotted it! Besides misspelling "attachments" (typo), I said I can't send attachments "of any size," then I said small attachments are okay. The latter (small attachments) is correct. Butch "It's what you learn after you know it all that counts" --My Dad...

I upgraded a machine from Windows 98SE to Windows 2000 Professional and then installed SP4. Ever since then, I have not been able to send attachements of any size, and even large emails (lots of graphics and/or text). Small attachments ( < 100Kb, for instance) seem okay. This happens not only in...

Thanks, fellas. You guided me right. The Microsoft solution didn't work, but it was supposed to, according to them. Well, back the drawing board, wherever that is. Butch &quot;It's what you learn after you know it all that counts&quot; --My Dad http://ld.net/?topscribe

I am trying to install an 80GB HD. Even though I used the auto detect in CMOS and it reported the proper size there, fdisk finds only 18GB, as does format. BIOS is Award v.6 00PG, and I am using a Windows 98 Startup disk. Since it is a Western Digital, however, I even tried to use WD's Data...

Here are some suggestions off the top: 1. Check the interface (ribbon) cable. While common sense says that, if one drive works off the cable, both should, this is not necessarily so. Not likely the problem, but an easy place to start. 2. Check your drive jumpers on both HDDs. You likely know...

That modem will not coexist with the COM port. It wants to BE the COM port. So you must go into CMOS and disable COM1 since you said that is where the modem is installed. This must be done BEFORE you install the modem, so you may have to remove it before you reboot into CMOS. After you have...

The generic init string for Diamond Supra series is supposed to be AT&F2W2. You might try that. But I envision your possibly needing more. Assuming you don't have a buggy or corrupt firmware, you might go to SonicBlue's page (they sell the Supra). It is here...

Usually, John, if the modem produces its handshake sounds (I assume that is what you are alluding to) through the speakers, there is an audio cable involved so the signal can be conveyed through the sound card. Otherwise, the sounds would come from a little speaker on the modem itself. I have a...

If you browse some of the places that sell used software, such as a large used book store, you may run into a copy of QuickBooks 5.0. This is the last edition of QuickBooks, to my recollection, that can be installed on Windows 3.1x. You should be able to get it for a relative song, and you...

Enter M1L2 and see what happens. Theoretically, that should give you some sound. Butch &quot;It's what you learn after you know it all that counts&quot; http://ld.net/?topscribe

Is there an audio cable connector on your modem? If so, do you have a cable going from your modem to your sound card? Butch &quot;It's what you learn after you know it all that counts&quot; http://ld.net/?topscribe

Pyramus, you question my credibility, and you question my patience. And that from someone who came in on a conversation about FSB, and thought we were talking about RAM. Butch &quot;It's what you learn after you know it all that counts&quot; http://ld.net/?topscribe

I forgot this: In that &quot;Extra settings&quot; box, try entering simply &quot;M0L0&quot; without any other init string. (Of course, those are still zeroes.) That just might do the trick for you. Butch &quot;It's what you learn after you know it all that counts&quot; http://ld.net/?topscribe

First, I have to assume you are using Win98 or ME since you didn't say. Double-click on My Computer on your desktop, then Control Panel, then Modems. You should now be in the &quot;Modems Properties&quot; box. Be sure your modem is highlighted, then click the button there titled...

Take everything out of the box so it is empty, then shut down (off) your computer and restart it to reset the modem. Then see if you can find some more init strings on the 'net. Here are a couple more links for your investigation: http://reboot.topcities.com/ http://www.modemhelp.org/ You can...
