    Erro Deleting File or Folder ("...being used by another per/prog.)

    the best thing that works for me is this: if you get an error message when attempting to delete a file, right-click the file and click properties. if any other program is using the file, the control will be released at this point. click ok on the properties window and attempt to delete again...

    Need help with PC "freezing up" problem...

    I noticed that all of your PCI peripherals use IRQ 11. I'm not entirely sure if this is something Win2k does automatically, but you may want to check into it for hardware conflicts. other than that there is nothing in your hardware setup that i can see immediately. Perhaps you just need to...

    TOTAL SYSTEM CRASH

    what did you keep from your packard bell? just the hard drive? or is this a completely new computer? it sounds like you may need a new HDD if that's the only old part. they don't last forever, you know. especially if you only have "3 megs left on my hard drive."

    CD burnner

    i have two suggestions. poo head is right, having admin rights to the program and the burner are essential. With that out of the way... the other thing is a file called winaspi32.dll. go to adaptec.com and dowload the latest version of this file. if you are still having problems, it is because...

    Telling momory chips apart

    There should be a small white label placed on one side of the chip. it will have number of pins, size of silicon chips, total storage of RAM, and bus speed. Look for this on the end of the stick.

    Insane HP Printer can't complete jobs!

    I think it may be a driver issue. What driver version are you running? Do you have PCL-6 compatibility or just PCL-5e? This may be important to your older 98 machine talking to the printer. If your printer driver on Computer A is PCL-6, roll it back to 5e, or vice versa. Don't forget to...

    Overheated??

    This sounds like a definite heat issue to me. Firstly, the problem arose again when you replaced the outer cover on your case. Have you thought of a new case where your components are not so close together? Also if you installed a case fan you'll want it as close to the processor as you can get...

    Need help with PC "freezing up" problem...

    After reading everyone's comments I'm not sure if there is much left to be tested, but most of my freezing problems are from video conflicts or memory problems. As stated already, it's good to turn the color depth down to 16-bit, and also try running 800x600 instead of a larger resolution. One...

    Command for checking MBR health?

    you are absolutely right, thanks for pointing out my faux-pas. i was under the impression it read fat32, but was not capable of running it. and by the way, if you use a boot disk, it uses the kernel in the boot disk, not the win2k kernel, so it really doesn't matter what boot disk you use to...

    Video is crashing my computer!

    does your radeon card contain a video out, either an s-video or rca plug? if this is the case, and you DO have a tv connected at the same time, your computer may treat this as mulitple monitors. if your monitor is set to 800x600 you will not notice this being the case. however, if your monitor...

    Command for checking MBR health?

    I have found the best way to run a 2k install is to first run "fdisk" from a Win98SE boot disk. Using FDisk, delete the partition(s) on your primary HD. Restart the machine and start the Win2k install from CD. This will ensure a clean install of your Windows. Windows 2000 will ONLY run...
