I had this same problem twice, it baffled me the first time.
It turned out to be the 400 mhz memory I had on my machine was'nt compatible with the motherboard, lowered it to 333 in the bios and worked fine.
The other was also memory related, just plain old faulty mem.
I don't know if this...
I feel sooooo stupid, I'm sorry I wasted all your time.
I know I tried all the different jumper settings I could, I don't know if I was just so frusterated or if I had the hdd so screwed up from formating and screwing with it that it just did'nt work.
At any rate I put the jumpers as...
Thanks for the reply WOLLUF,
I thought I had put all the info in but I forgot to mention I checked double checked and goofed around with the jumper settings, no change.
POST shows 32 gig, I have manually put in info and let it Auto find, still no sucess.
I have not tried the other IDE slot...
Hi again all, I apologize for the length of this post. I wanted to give all the info I could.
Components are:
Win98SE (I’m trying to install XP)
ASUS A7V8X MB (with latest and greatest BIOS)
Maxtor 5T060H6 60 gig HD.
I have been trying for a week to set up the HD for 60 gig without using the...
Hi all, I haven't asked a dumb question for awhile so I feel entitled to throw 2 at you geniuses!
Twice now my computer (1.8 gig, win 98se) has frozen with just my wallpaper showing and the mouse cursor, both times the file "logagent.exe" was the culprit. I had to replace it and...
You all are so smart!
I have asked some really dumb questions and you have really helped out.
This one is more of an annoyance, when I close programs sometimes an empty box stays in the taskbar until I click on it, why does this happen?
It doesn't seem to be any one program or under any given...
I hope this question isn't too stupid.
I just built a new computer and there is no place to install the SCSI card for the scanner. (ASTRA 610s) It's for the older slots, I can't remember their name.
Is there another way to connect it? Possibly a later model card I could use? Any way to use...
Just in case anyone is interested, although I cannot imagine why, I'm still employed and solved the problem with extreme knowledge, experience and exprertise.
I tried everything we all agreed on, no luck at all, the computer just would not see anything over 16 colors and told me so.
I found...
Phil,
I stated earlier I wasn't that smart, now you're rubbing it in. I'm sure If I knew what you were talking about I'd be very impressed!
I can get you a deal on an Escalade though. (left drive only)
If I get the fricken fracken display prob fixed of course.
If not I'll probably be in a...
YUP,
Phils fault.
I think I'm just going to have to use those pictures of him at the last Christmas party to save my arse, I was hoping to save them for a more financial reason though.
Thanks for all your help, any more thoughts are trulu appreciated. I hope I can contribute something here...
WIN98USER,
I had rebooted the comp twice after my amazing "fix" and it worked without a flaw. According to him he was attempting to download a file from a General Motors website (I run the service dept at a GM dealer) and it just locked up.
He couldn't remember what the file was and...
Enkrypted,
Great minds think alike, I left him one of those little posty notes telling him how fortunate he was I found and removed it for him before any more damage happened! just buying myself time.
I really appreciate all your thoughts on this.

Jennifer,
Thanks for the advice, my concern is I would owe the boss a keyboard also and I'm soon to be unemployed do to this!
Seriously I wish I would have thought of removing it under safe mode, I was just blinded by frustration.
An additional bit of info: When windows starts I get an error...
Believe it or not I did not try that, but I did think of it about halfway home.... felt pretty stupid.
I meant to type SFC, System File Checker. I must admit I was soo frusterated I had a cocktail while looking for an answer on the net.
My gut feeling is deleting it in safe mode won't help...
My bosses hp 800 mhz pc had the greeting card, no buttons on the taskbar when minimized problem. I followed the directions and removed the programs from uninstall programs. Problem solved, I left a cocky note as to how wise and smart I was.
Another coworker used the computer it locked up, upon...
