    CD-RW/CD-ROM don't read disks properly

    What OS are you using? Some OS' do not commit writes immediately and therefore if you eject a disk that has unwritten data in the computers memory (buffer), the disk information table from the previous disk remains in memory. It often does not matter whether the disk has been written to or can...

    problem with fdisk & hdd partition

    I am not familiar enough with your OS to give you a 100% sure answer. I do know that different OS'/file systems will vary the amount of disk space available (e.g., cluster size, allocation units). Sounds like the OS is simply confused from a previous disk partitioning (i.e., a phantom...

    Can I get rid of fresh Magnetic damage to my monitor?

    In cases where no degausing tool is available (as when my wife left the cordless phone on top of our small TV in the bedroom), a TV repair shop will likely have a hoop electromagnet (or elecrostatic device) and can degause the screen externally. Neat :-) Frak

    Problem with scanner

    The software for the device has an interface that provides some options for scanning (e.g., best quality, reduced noise, dithering, etc.). Try changing these and perhaps the scanner's resolution. I had the same problem with a new HP Scanner and changed a couple of these functions and the grey...

    zip drive problem

    What OS do you use? WinNT (and likely 2K) use a lazy write method and don't commit writes to the disk ASAP. You may need to use the eject function from the IOMEGA Software to physically eject each disk before replacing. I would like to know how to force the computer (or the OS) to commit...

    Im at my wits end, and need help-easy question win98

    I have found it helpful to remove all references of the card from the registry and from the computers system files (System.ini, autoexec.bat, etc.). Use regedit to search for the name of the card and the manufacturer. Look at the driver files and copy them down before removing the card (i.e...

    Hello. I'm writing to find out i

    I have a similar issue with a zip 100 MB disk. It would appear that under NT the disk writes are not written to the disk ASAP (i.e., a lazy write method to free up the CPU and disk for other tasks). When I remove a disk without using the eject feature in the IOMEGA software (right click on the...

    Zif Socket Clip Broken!!!

    With regard to your broken processor socket heatsink clips. . . For socket 370, socket 7 and its predecessors; thermal epoxy (i.e., glue) is easy and worth considering. I have a few heatsink/fan combos that clip directly to the processor itself. These are for older 486 systems. I don't know...
