Thanks for your replies. It turns out the card is bad. It's past the time to return it so I just junked it. Luckily I got it so cheap it wasn't really worth the trouble to RMA. goombawaho, you're exactly right. I have a refurbished wifi router that I've been using for several years but I...

I've just installed a nvidia quadro4 750 XGL video card (recertified from a liquidator, got it cheap) into an old emachines T3265 (AMD Athlon 3200, 1.5G RAM, nvidia nforce2 chipset). When I first installed the card it booted fine and seemed to work OK. Later though it began to display blocking...

I have a home network with 2 XP Pro and 1 XP Home machines. I also have a networked inkjet. I want to keep my children from emptying the printer cartridges by restricting printer use by User Group or by User ID. (They have Limited User rights.) Is there a way to do this in XP? Thanks!

Thanks for the replies. The Corsair won't work so I'm sending it back. I should've investigated a little more before buying. ZipZoomFly was pretty good about taking it back so I ordered a Kingston 512 MB PC2100 stick from them. Restocking was 15% but I guess that's just the price of education.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1100 that uses PC2100 266 MHz SODIMMs. I installed a Corsair PC2700 module that I thought would be backwards compatible but the machine won't POST. Dell says that only PC2100 will work. Crucial Memory Configurator says PC2700 is compatible. I'm confused. I thought the...

Thanks to all. Think I'll skip it.

Has anyone heard of this site? http://www.office.softforneeds.net/ It seems too good to be true. I was wondering if it's really legitimate.

Problem solved. It was the wireless adapter. Apparently the Netgear Configuration Utility won't run properly under SP2. I disabled it and let Windows manage the wireless network. It started working immediately. All the printers and shares became available.

Last night I installed SP2 on a Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop running XP Pro. All appeared to go well until I tried to access a shared printer on another PC. Got an error message saying can't locate printers because print spooler service is not running. Checked services and found that print spooler...

I'm considering building a PC primarily for home use but I'd also like to be able to transfer and edit videotapes to DVD. What would be some recommendations for motherboard, chipsets, PSU, etc? I need to keep the budget $700-$800 or so. Thanks in advance for any advice.

One of the easiest ways is to use Adobe Acrobat PDFWriter. I'm not sure if this is available as a free download or if it only comes with Acrobat. You can print to a pdf file and email it. All the recipient needs is the free Acrobat Reader.

Would you need to have NetBEUI installed or would IP be enough?

I use a laptop to connect to a domain via VPN and cable modem. I need to be able to install software. I'm able to get admin rights by deleting the SAM (FAT32) and logging in as Administrator. I set up a username and password exactly like the domain. I can log on to the local machine. When I try...

Thanks P0rkCh0p for the post. I tried your suggestion and it got me in but when I tried the user manager LUSRMGR.MCL on my machine it still denied access to change the admin password. Is there another user manager applet I should look for?

Yes. I set up the same user ID and password. Fortunately I saved the old SAM file and was able to restore access to the domain. There has to be a way to make this work.

I have something similar.... I work remotely and log in to my company network through a cable modem, VPN, and router set up in my home. I need to install another printer and some PDA software but I don't have admin rights on the local machine or the domain. My company techs are in another state...

Read somewhere here in another thread that Win9x can only make use of something like 320M of ram. Can't cache any more that or something. Any more can actually cause system slowdowns. You might want to search the threads here or MS Knowledgebase to verify.

Type it from a C: prompt in the DOS window.

Try typing mode con lines=xx where xx is the number of lines displayed. I don't know the max but it will show at least 100.

Had a similar problem going from IE4.0 to 5.5 SP2. Needed to upgrade because of scripting errors on intranet page. Tried upgrading from MS download site but ie5setup couldn't locate download servers (?). Found IE5.5 on CD and installed. Couldn't connect to anything. Couldn't ping names or IP...
