    com ports

    My grateful thanks to juliowizco, Ed Fair, and Buckeye Computers. Each of you gave me excellent advice and I have stored it away in case I need it again. However, it proved to be something simple (like my daddy always said, "Never overlook the obvious.")and when I tried the simplest...

    com ports

    I have a Dell Optiflex 150 (Wish I didn't)anyway, up until now I have had control over the modem speaker and could have it silent so I could do things at night when I cannot sleep, and not wake the family. Now my modem has jumped to Com5!! I have tried to remove the configuration, add it using...

    system or modem speaker shut down

    I have a DellOptiflex GX150 (wish I did not), In the past I was able to shut off the sounds of the modem connecting. Now I find myself not being able to do anything to cut that sound. I've explored sounds (muted all), the modem speaker is "off"--nothing cuts the sounds. I need to be...

    setup passwords

    I think I posted to a wrong forum before. This one comes closest, I believe. Problem: screen before windows setup is a password screen. Went into setup and changed the password and now it accepts both. How do I remedy this so only one is accepted? Dell Optiplex GX150 with MS Win98.

    blankety-blank passwords!

    When I start the computer I get a password screen before windows begins setup. That screen accepts 2 passwords. I want it to accept only one. It happened because I went into setup and tried to change the password...now accepts two. Remedy?

    mswindows98 password

    Forgive my ignorance...I should have said it was a "setup" password. It comes to the screen before the windows screen. To be more precise, the Dell Optiplex screen comes on, then up comes this request for a password. I originally went into the setup to change the original password...
