    Two XP sessions at once?

    Greetings, I find myself constantly switching back and forth between my XP partitons. I use one for testing and experimenting, and I use the other as my main workspace. Problem is, It takes forever to shut down and reboot into the new partition. Is there any way that you can simutaneously...

    Can not share in XP Pro/XP home

    Greetings, Make sure that you turn off the firewall which is automatically enabled sometimes. Just go to your network connection, click advanced, and make sure it's off. That dumb barely mentioned issue kept me busy for a quite a few hours... Hope this helps. Steve

    Requirements for simple network PC?

    Hmm... OK, here is my setup. From wall to DSL to Router to two PC's. I guess you could call that a network, but the only thing I do is transfer files back and forth, and print to the printer. Both PC's access the Internet no problem. Here is the message that I get if I try to host a game...

    Requirements for simple network PC?

    Hey guys, You were absoloutely correct. I have the DSL connected to a lynksys router/hub and the hub is feeding the pc's, and I was trying to host an internet game and it wouldn't allow me to because of proxy server. If I use the DMZ function to connect one pc directly to the internet, how...

    Requirements for simple network PC?

    Hi, All I want to do is connect two pc's to the network server, and the only function of the server is to connect to the internet and share the internet with the other pc's. Right now, I have both pc's connected to the hub and then DSL. It works fine, but I would like to have only 1 pc...

    Convert value to string (123="123")

    xlhelp, Yes, thank you, you have put me back on track. I tried that before and assumed that it wasn't working. The reason that I thought that it wasn't working is that: If I have a three digit number for example 123 in a cell. I am able to use that cell both in a math function and in a text...

    Qbasic in Windows XP

    Griff, First, why are you running XP? Second, I have the exact same problem. Read the thread from Sept 15 on. It's working a little bit better for me now. I love Qbasic, Steve

    Qbasic in Windows XP

    Hmmm, Just when I thought it was over, I tried dilettante's suggestion of using "C:\WINDOWS\system32\command.com /c qbasic.exe" and it seems to work better. Still some lag, but I can run media player while qb is open. Also, if you do it that way, you get "microsoft windows...

    Qbasic in Windows XP

    Hmmmm, Well, I have a P4 2.2GHZ, 512MB of ram, so that's not a problem. Also, I just want to make sure that we are talking about the same loop. We're talking about the "loop" of the OS waiting for keyboard input, NOT A LOOP IN BASIC, as in the Do Loop above right? Do you think that...

    Qbasic in Windows XP

    Yes.... Ahhhh, the good old days of QB. I have QB4.5, and I still use it today to whip up quick programs. I remember buying that program, and it came with like 2 200 page manuals. Now, all you get is a pamplet. Enough rambling... I too have been experimenting with running QB on XP and have...

    Errors during load, Invalid file reference

    Hmmmmmmm, I just copied the fm20 file, because it said it was missing. I have no idea what it even is. Question: Could the problem be that I have installed VB into a different directory, and I also moved the folder containing the programs and such from their original location? Thanks, Steve

    Boot Drive Sequence

    Hi, I'm sure this question has been answered before, but I would really be grateful for help. I have just installed a second HD. I have XP on the first drive, and have not yet added an operating system to the second drive, but it is formatted. Second drive is visable from the first drive...
