    Changing start-up order in Win98

    . . That's the way they installed themselves. The whole point was to force WinPOET to run last, so Zone Alarm had higher priority. I've discovered that anything started up prior to Zone Alarm (imho) appears to not be monitored by Zone Alarm, and I'm trying to toughen up security on...

    Mandrake Installation Trouble

    . . The problem is: corrupted stuff. When you installed Mandrake, did you partition the entire hard drive ?? You shouldn't have. If you were planning to dual boot, you should have only partitioned the part of the drive for the install, and left the rest of the hard drive...

    grub on sata master, ide slave

    . . Actually, you can't get true RAID function that way, but you can emulate RAID 0 (limited by the one SATA drive). You're mixing apples and oranges, and Linux has problems with that. Set it up with one or the other, I suggest the IDE - and get a Raid Control Program installed...

    mandrake linux9.1 installation problem

    . . It's not able to detect something - most likely, your hard drive, or your video card. Check your cables, make sure they're plugged in all the way. Do you have another OS still on the system ?? You might want to format the HDs before you install Linux, especially if you had...

    Does Redhat Linux get Virus ????????

    . . Here's the short answer: NO. Here's a slightly longer answer: For now. Here's what to do: Dont ever download and open an Email on your system. Get a Yahoo account and use that to read your Email. As for security: Goto your Control Center, click on...

    port 113 closed how to stealth

    . . First off, goto www.grc.com and run a stealth test. About half the way down the opening page, you'll find the ShieldsUp! link - click on it, and follow the instructions, which will bring you to the third page. you'll see some options to choose what ports you want scanned, choose...

    Selective Start-up problems......

    . . Thanks Marc - for the timely replies (and the info)... :) I think you're right - this system running 98 should do just fine for my daughter - she doesn't network or cluster - she just needs nice looking system.... now, if I can just do an install without running into all the...

    Selective Start-up problems......

    . . I agree, but it's nice, and twice as fast as my litle girls' system, she's 12 now, and ready to get on the Net, and Xmas is coming... Besides, it came without any disks, and I don't have all the Compaq jive disks to take advantage of, and I've had problems installing other systems on...

    Empty user logon Dialog Box

    . . In DOS: At the prompt, enter: del *.pwl ("del space star dot pwl" without the quotes) Hit return. On the next start-up, don't fill in anything. It won't bother you again.... Gnasty . .

    Selective Start-up problems......

    . . OK - I did it this time.... I bought a used Presario 5000 that didn't work from someone that couldn't screw the top back on a peanut butter jar, and didn't want to have anything to do with it anymore - it wouldn't even start-up - not even a light would come on. (I won't say how...

    added ram - computer is slower

    . . KarateLois: If you're still having the problem, it might be easier to fix than you think. MOTHERBOARDS have problems with plating matching, in otherwords, if your RAM is two sticks of SILVER PLATED RAM, they're homogenous - two sticks of GOLD PLATED RAM are homogenous - two...

    Changing start-up order in Win98

    . . tsuji: OK, here's what happened: In: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run There is the following: (Default) (value not set) ScanRegistry "C:\WINDOWS\scanregw.exe /autorun" SystemTray "SysTray.Exe" TaskMonitor...

    Changing start-up order in Win98

    . . No - they start-up as the system boots into the first screen As they do, they show up in the start bar (on the right, by the clock), then bit defender runs. :) I remember quite a bit, having used windows for so long, I just can't remember where to set my start-up...

    Changing start-up order in Win98

    . . Thanks for the quick reply tsuji: All I have in my start-up folder is bit defender for Yahoo Messenger. I'm sorry, maybe I wasn't clear enough - I want to set my AV to priority=0, and Zone Alarm to=1, and everything else to start up and run after that....

    Changing start-up order in Win98

    . . Hi everyone, I'm the new kid on the block: I recently ran into a problem w/Verizon. I was a Windows user since 3.1, and eventually migrated to Nix (around the Red Hat 6.0 release) and have been using that ever since - until this problem, that is.... Rather than type it out...
