    Win98 / XP networking problem

    Another user solved this problem earlier today in thread615-594487. Solution was as follows: ".... I made another XP network disk per the instructions and kept rerunning it on the machines that didn't work properly. They're all singing and happy now. ......" good luck

    FATAL ERROR: Unhandled Access Violation Reading 0x24509d0

    Sounds like a problem with the programming of Autocad 2002. Specifically it looks like the programmers did not provide error handling routines for an exception condition that is occurring, (assuming this is an XP version of the program). Check for updates to the Autocad program or report the...

    Battery Keeps loosing set-up

    That's not a common problem and I doubt it's coincidence that it's now happening on a different system. Were any components moved to the new system from the old? A friend once had a MAC system with an odd problem and the vendor gave him a brand new system to replace it....same problem. He had...

    BIOS setup always entered at startup

    Thanks. I assume checking to see if it's keeping the correct date/time between poweroff's is the only test. And yes, she did restore the default BIOS settings and saved/exited the first time it happened. Since then she has just been exiting. Thanks again. ...wee

    BIOS setup always entered at startup

    I have a client who powered off her IBM Thinkpad when it froze. Since then she is prompted to enter F1 to enter the IBM BIOS setup utility every time she starts the system. She has to enter and exit setup before it will continune on to start Windows. Everything appears normal after that until...

    Hard Drive disappeared from BIOS - PC cannot boot

    Sounds like poorly seated cables. Try reseating them, at BOTH ends. Your hard drive should have a label on it that gives the CYL/HEADS/SECTORS info which you can manually type into the BIOS setup panel. I have 2 drives in my system, one which is found automatically, the other I have to enter...

    can Outlook rules see text in HTML messages?

    The text is definitely in the HTML source. I use copy-paste to take the text from the message and insert it in the rule, just to make sure I don't make any typo's or miss something. I notice that the text is in the cells of a table. Could that be the reason it's not found?

    can Outlook rules see text in HTML messages?

    I'm attempting to use Outlook 2000 rules to manage incoming SPAM messages. I've setup a rule to check for certain verbage in the body of the message but if the message is in HTML format it doesn't see it. Is this a limitation of the rules or is there a way to see HTML text? Thanks

    can't rename or delete 123 file

    Since replacing a system and upgrading the O/S from Win95 to WinME my client is having problems copying 123 files. He's running Lotus Smartsuite Millenium Edition and using drag-and-drop to copy files to a temporary directory for subsequent backup. Some of the files loose the 123 icon when he...

    Twunk_16 error

    Sounds like a UMAX SCSI scanner. There have been problems with the drivers for these devices, most often on systems with USB ports. Although the symptoms are not exactly the same as the for the problems I have worked on you might want to update the drivers anyways. Pay particular attention to...

    IE 5.5 Invalid Page Fault Error Please Help!

    Sounds similar to a problem I had recently with a corrupted Winsock2. I found it by installing Netscape which gave me a better message. Search for the title: "Netscape unable to create network socket connection" GL700 provides the correct answer. Another test you can do to see if...

    Runtime Error debugging

    Thanks anyways. The message was asking if she wanted to run debug so I said OK to check it out. The failing line of code looked like it should have worked so I disabled script checking in IE's advanced internet options and the problem went away. The problems she was having subsequent to...

    Runtime Error debugging

    Is there a source for determing the meaning of Runtime Error's? I have a client who is getting a Runtime Error 18 when trying to access her Yahoo address book. I have searched for that code without any results. My process in this case will be to upgrade her version of IE, assuming it is not...

    What is an LS-120?

    Thanks everyone for your help and your patience. I've got the CD running and am installing Win98 as we speak..er..type..you know what I mean! It's not going to be neat but I will be able to hook up the internal CD drive externally by running the power and ribbon cables through the cd bay door...

    What is an LS-120?

    KillCMOS didn't work but I think it is because password's are enabled/disabled in the hardware. On this machine there is a SW1 switch on the MOBO that disables passwords when position 1 is set to ON. I still can't get it to recognize the CD so I'm not done yet. Thanks ...wee

    What is an LS-120?

    'Oh Bother' said Pooh...got the drive hooked up only to discover that the BIOS is password protected. I've found a utility call KillCMOS on the net. Does anyone know if it is reliable or should I just pull the battery and go to bed? Thanks ...wee

    What is an LS-120?

    The only identification of model is the COMPAQ DESKPRO stamp on the front panel. Sorry. The smaller connector has 2 rows of 25 pins each. I'll assume that to be SCSI. The larger connector has 2 rows of pins, 1 with 20 pins, the other with 19 pins, (the middle pin is missing). In the process...
