I have no good idea as to where to post this, but this area looked pretty good. I want to ask if anyone here knows how to put a transparent mark on a high res scan. Maybe you have seen some of the scans i am talking about. They are usually very high quality and in one of the corners there will...

I would like to know how to delete the file names in the previous file list in something like "find files or folders". When you search for something, the names stays in a dropdown list that can be retrived later to use a certain search word again. can the words in this list be deleted...

I am trying to get an older machine to load an Iomega Zip drive to be used in DOS. I have added a line in autoexec.bat to run the Guest.exe program and on boot-up it tells me....no drive letters were added......run time error R6001....then....-null pointer assignment. What am i doing wrong here...

Well, like my daddy used to say, "If that dont beat a hen rooting in a rock pile." I hooked up a new cdrom drive to the ide on the motherboard and it is fine now . I thought i had tryed it before, but i guess not. The cables had me fooled. They are regular ide cables so i just ASSUMED...

I have an older Packard Bell 166 system with the cd rom drive attached to the sound card. Problem is, i cant access the cd rom with a boot disk. i have upgraded this system from win95 to win98 and made a start disk. I still can get to the cdrom drive. I have tryed hooking the cd as a slave with...

Hi all, I am working on an older pb multimedia 415. Problem is i cant get any ram to work in it. From what i can find out, it has a FM530 motherboard that should support 128 meg of ram. A spec sheet i found on the net says "standard ram". I have tryed several different combos and cant...

I just want to thank everyone for the help. I can always count on this forum for the right answers. I think i finally found what was wrong. I dissabled a network card and now it will boot in about 40 seconds. I really dont see what clearing the bios had to do with the network card. There is...

Thanks for the reply, I set the bios to default and then checked thru it. There is no place in bios to set the cache for any of those things. I notice on the info screen as it boots up that it says there is no cache moeory or and no l2 cache. It is kind of like part of the bios is not showing...

I recently had to pull the battery from a system to clear a password. I then set it to bios defaults. Now, it takes a very long time to boot. I have timed it and it takes close to 3 minutes to boot up. I have went thru the bios items and there is just nothing there that i can see that would...

I have tryed all this and nothing has helped at all. It looks like i may have to format and load evenything again. I even tryed reloading windows and ie5.5 and it is still the same as it was. i also ran into another problem that has come up the last few days. some of my .exe files that i have...

I have this same problem in IE6.0. I have tryed everything listed in this thread and the problem is still there. Everytime i try to type something in a box, it will freeze up for a few seconds and then go. The autocomplete does not work either. I have unchecked and checked all the boxes in the...

Thanks for the replys. I added a simple autoexec and config file to the root of "c" and it did nothing. i then renamed them so it would be back like it was to start with. It will not boot to safe mode. it will hang in the same place as a regular boot only with the words safe mode in...

I just took in an older 486dx4-s system and the guy wanted win95 installed. (it had a dos datsbase on it) I formatted and installed win95a with no problems and now it will not boot. It will go past the win95 logo screen and stop at the blue screen with the pictures on it. The hourglass is up...

Thanks for the reply.... I removed the sound card and got the same thing. Next i removed the modem. Problem is gone. I installed a different modem and got the same problem. There has to be a conflict somewhere with the irq or something. I kept looking in the bios and changing things. i came to...

When i try to restart this system, it hangs up right after it says "initializing plug and play cards". next line is "card-01 op13-sa2 sound board". curser goes back to left and system just sits there. drivers are all loaded and sound card seems to be working fine. I have...
