    Secure a DI-524 Router used as WAP

    Thanks for the response. Any settings changed on any of the configuration menus inside the router will "auto" reboot the router the way they should to save settings. When trying to set the wireless security menu with the WEP key etc., when I click on the apply button nothing happens (a dotted...

    Secure a DI-524 Router used as WAP

    I've configured a wireless access point in an existing wired network using a DI-524 wireless router. I have DHCP disabled on the DI-524 and am using a Linksys RT31P2 for the wired network. Everything works except being able to secure the WAP. When I go to configure the DI-524 and try to enable...

    XP won't open or create ZIP files.

    Thanks for the help. That did the trick.

    XP won't open or create ZIP files.

    I'm running XP pro with SP-1 and all critical updates. I noticed today that XP will no longer open or create ZIP files. Sending files to a "compressed (zipped) folder" does nothing and creates no kind of error message. Using "extract all" opens the wizard but creates an error message that there...

    Boot disk failure

    Thanks, everybody. The CD image was very small (less that 1.44 meg). The floppy replacement for the laptop was a little too steep for me, so I just bought an external USB floppy for less that half what the HP unit would have cost. Problem fixed.

    Boot disk failure

    No, I'm not using "Go-Back". The combo drive is listed in device manager as a QSI CDRW/DVD SBW-241. The problem is only related to getting the latptop to boot from a bootable CD. It will boot to several burned bootable CD's that I have around; Windows, Linux, Emergency Boot Disk, etc.

    Boot disk failure

    I can get into bios with no problem, and all the settings look good. Nothing is disabled as far as boot. There is no PW set. There are three symbols, the one in the middle resembles a heart, and the other two perhaps foreign looking symbols.

    Boot disk failure

    I'm trying to boot PC DOS in order to run ghost and image the hard drive on the laptop that has the broken floppy drive. Getting the image to the external drive isn't the problem. It's getting it restored. I need a bootable CD in order to boot ghost and access the image on the external drive.

    Boot disk failure

    I'm trying to image the hard drive from a HP ZE5170 laptop that has been dropped and has a broken floppy drive. The laptop has a combination CD-RW/DVD drive. I created a floppy emulated bootable CD to start Ghost. When I try to boot the laptop I get three strange symbols that stay on the screen...

    Floppy Drive Problems and XP

    bcastner, I had already read this Knowledge Base article, and the first suggestion to resolve the problem is to format the disk. However, any of the disks that can't be read in my computer also refuse to be formatted. As far as the workaround, I don't think I'd want my wife or kids trying it...

    Floppy Drive Problems and XP

    This problem is affecting 3 of 4 my computers running XP pro with SP-1. I can insert a floppy disk and it isn't recognized as being formatted; and if given the option to format, the formatting fails. This occurs with new formatted disks as well as with known good disks. Sometimes, for whatever...

    ctrl +enter shortcut quit working

    Thanks, smah. The inline setting fixed everything. I thought by default that it was checked. I've never had to go in and change it in order for it to work before. There seems to be something that's changed some settings. Gif images aren't loading now either, but that's another thread. Thanks again.

    ctrl +enter shortcut quit working

    My ctrl+enter keyboard shortcut no longer works. Now it simply performs a search. I haven't changed any settings that I'm aware of. After it quit working, I did go into the advanced settings of IE and reset to default settings, but that didn't fix the problem. I know it's probably something...

    System crash....

    mainegeek, I had already removed hard drives from the system as well as all PCI cards, but failed to mention it. I tried moving the memory to different slots as well. I'm using a Antec 500 watt True Power PS. I think as GOAOZ said....it's a toss up between the CPU and motherboard. But given my...

    Add Remove Programs Won't Start

    I'm running XP Pro with sp-1 and all critical updates. I'm always installing and uninstalling a lot of different software. Recently when I tried to use add remove programs, I get a Parser Message: Value Creation Failed " Line 472. I'm not sure where to look to fix the problem. Event logs...

    PCI-based IDE/ATA Add-In Controller Card........WHAT..??? HOW...????

    TroKnight, You don't mention what OS you have loaded. I'd do some checking around before you try to use it with XP Pro or 2000. I've tried installing Maxtor Ultra ATA/UDMA/133/100/66/33 PCI adapter cards on two different MOBOs both running XP PRO, so far I haven't gotten either to work. Maxtor...

    Burning failure

    Bro2, I had a similar problem with a lite-on burner. I can't diagnose what the log file has generated, but getting rid of NERO fixed my problem. You might want to try some different burning software like Roxio or CloneCD.

    Copying entire hard drive with XP Pro

    Mulga, You don't mention if your disk is basic or dynamic. It makes a difference. I couldn't get Drive Image to work (two different versions). Becoming frustrated, I did the unthinkable and read documentation. Powerquest Drive Image does not support dynamic disks.
