    motherboard/cpu question

    No, and No. Socket 370 is for celerons. Socket "A" is for athlons. There is a number designation for socket a, but the number escapes me right now. . .472 maybe? There are going to be dual athlon motherboards soon. The amd 760 chipset will do it, but it's expected sometime next...

    Modem config problem

    Windows 98 is a plug-n-play OS, while NT is not. You will have to make sure your bios is configured for "non-pnp OS" so the modem will be given hardware addresses by the bios. Then you should be able to manually add the COM port and address the modem. This is assuming it is not a...

    Close a MS-Dos Window?

    You could shell to the "kill" command. Very ugly, but if you know the process name or number it could be very effective. David Moore dm7941@sbc.com

    printericons

    I know of a reason the icons dissapear, but I don't really have a good solution. The icons dissapear when the print spooler goes bye-bye. The only solution I have found is to replace the spooler files. As for how to replace them, I user a good old fashion windows re-install. In the case of...

    Netscape + WIN ME

    hehe, isn't microsoft getting sued for things like this? I hate to even say this because I personally used to LOVE netscape, but *gasp* you may be FORCED to use IE. I have had very poor luck with the latest versions of netscape, so much so that I finally gave up trying. I still run in under...

    System Error keyboard driver specified incompatible

    what is your current "KEYBOARD=" line in your system.ini? I'd bet that whatever file it points to should be replaced. I'd extract the appropriate file from the windows CABS. David Moore dm7941@sbc.com

    Primary IDE controller[dual fifo]problem

    There are a couple possibilities I can think of. If you have one or both devices set as cable select or you have a bad IDE cable you can get the yellow explanation mark. You could also try changing the bios to user type HDD instead of auto, if you have not already. You could also experiment...
