    portmapper problem.

    Elminster; I've gone over to the data center and checked and my MAP does include the server name and I had obviously forgotten since it's been many months since I've been back to the MAP statement. I'm still going to monitor your thread because I'd like to be ready for when the same problem...

    Start a program at bootup

    Kim; You are correct. I did misread your first post. So I went back and followed your first post but the START UP folder is currently empty, but programs AVG (anti-virus from grisoft.com), ZoneAlarm, MailWasher, PopUpStopper, IntelliPoint, volume adjustments and 4 Toshiba programs are all...

    Start a program at bootup

    Kim; What you describe is adding a program to the start menu which does not cause the program to be activated at bootup. In the case of my laptop, I have 31 items on the start menu, very few of which are brought up at bootup. Items that are brought up at bootup appear at the far right of the...

    Start a program at bootup

    I'm using MailWasher from MailWasher.net. It's running on my laptop and a friends desktop and doing very well. I'd like it to be up and running at every boot-up. I thought that I knew how to do this, but I'm not getting there this time. Thanks for the help. Chris C.

    portmapper problem.

    Elminster; I've got a network that I set up with a WindowsNT server and Windows98 and Windows95 workstations. On the server, files or folder are SHARED using a name that is then passed to the workstations. On each of the workstations, we MAP to the name specified in the SHARE on the server...

    Credit Card Security issue

    Basiljohn; Jontmke almost hit the nail on the head. I don't know how Amazon would know if you had a "foreign" program running, whatever "foreign" might mean. Contact Amazon and they will probbaly tell you that the message did not come from them. If the message about the...

    MODEM INSTALLATION

    Wisegi; I've found that when you try to re-install a modem, the old install gets just a little sticky but not quite enough to make it usable. So, we have to get rid of what is there. Right click MyComputer, click Properties and the DeviceManager tab. Expand the Modem object, right click on...

    How does one disable 98 Start up logo

    TekTippy4U; On Windows98, would it be only the ReadOnly attribute to be unchecked? Starting with WindowsME, things got a little worse. I don't know how to get at the System attribute since it no longer appears on the Properties. Do you know how it's done and if it would need to be turned off...

    WinME-On shutdown WINPPR32 not responding

    With some embarrasment, I realized as soon as I saw the two replies above that I had failed to do the things that I should by this time do automatically. Had I entered the file name as the search argument to Google, I'd have realized what the problem was very quickly. Today I got back onto the...

    WinME-On shutdown WINPPR32 not responding

    On a system running WindowsME, every time a shutdown is started we get the error message "WINPPR32 Not Responding" and then must tell it to end the task and then do the shutdown which finally works. How do we fix this so that we no longer get the error and can you explain what is...

    Whats the deal?

    skiflyer; Sure. M$ wants to be rid of DOS, so in XP they hide it better and try to make it impossible to boot to DOS. But every Windows release has been going in that direction. And "protected kernal mode" means nothing to the average user and certainly wouldn't persuade someone to...

    Whats the deal?

    skiflyer; There was no typo. WindowsXP is Windows98/WindowsME with things moved around to be more like WindowsNT/Windows2000. The announced goal was to merge Windows98/WindowsME and WindowsNT/Windows2000 so that there would be a single product. At a higher price of course. Chris C.

    file deleting

    DOS gets a little touchy about how a file name is specified. As you already know, you can't use a long file name to access a file when using DOS. DOS will allow access to the DOS 8.3 version of a file name which contains what would be an invalid name if the invalid name is enclosed in quotes...

    can't get usb cd-rw to work.

    I think that there is a patch to make USB work in Windows98se. Try Google for Windows98 USB. Chris C.

    HD detected but not readable

    Older Western Digital drives had a 3 year guaranty. In the absence of a sales slip, Western Digital will accept manufacture date. As for the problem - I've seen cases where the drive is recognized during bootup but still not usable. This often is a result of the FAT being destroyed. In rare...

    Whats the deal?

    I think we need to understand ethical business practices. Any company can make any product and sell it for any amount they want to. Of course, the quality and the price must respond to market pressures. When you have a monopoly where there are almost no market pressures, the rules get a...
