It gets worse though: I want to boot on a floppy to see what's wrong, but it ignores the floppy. I tried it with the first of the six XP bootdisks: nothing." I've noticed some odd things with clones lately. Even if you have a bootable floppy and Boot from floppy first selected some systems...

I thnk this is where Mr Fixit was going, but do you have an icon in your system tray for your sound card ?(even if its built in) Sometimes cute little features in these sound card drivers will overide the windows settings on boot up. If there is some sort of sound card utility running, you can...

The trouble with many software firewall software for the average not techie user is they messages whether to allow a particular software internet access or not. 99% of the time they are not going to know the right answer. Many users will unknowingly allow the spyware/adware that comes...

OE lets you create seperate IDENTITIES. That way each Identity only gets the email for the acount that you set up. You can name these identities, select which one opens by default and even password protect Identities. I belive its under FILE/IDENTITIES

I've not tried any other free client. Anyone know if these suggested clients are spyware/adware free?

I tend to agree with jsauce, but on the other hand, there has been so many hard drive companies that buy other companies out, I can hardly remember who makes what these days. As for SCSI, just watch out for heat issues. Especially if you build your own systems. We bought clone towers for...

Aprpos? I hate to admit it, thinking I am informed in this area, but I am not familiar with it.

Amazing reading guys, looks like you have come to the right conclusion. Hard to believe people would buy spam protection from a spam email, or pop up blockers from a pop up ad, but people will. I'd bet Symantec would like to hear about this even if they haven't already. Clearly is was designed...

Beware, you may have trouble finding 98 drivers for some components of your newer system.

Is it possible that someone sent a message to "all" and Exchange replied to the sender, but now thinks it has sent the message to "all"

Chris, I might start by shutting all programs down and then killing everything in the system tray to see if the system shuts down ok. Have you tried doing a web search on that file name to see if you can get a clue as to what it does?

"I might go a whole day without a reboot. But once it reboots, it might reboot 4 times in an hour." Sure sounds like a software or memory problem. Your testing in Win98 sounds like a good idea. Win98 doesn't use the memory the same way as win2k so that wouldn't rule out a memory...

You don't mention which operating system it is using, but my first step, since you seem to indicate that it fails after a specific amount of time would be to boot it up in safe mode and see if the problem remains. This should help decide if it is a hardware or software problem.

More and more, I see this guy of thing from adware and spyware. It use to be a privacy/annoy problem with this type of software, but so many companies are using this type of software that they tend to accumlate their effects and bring even top of the line PCs to their knees. I work on a similar...

Gary, To decide which is better (clean vs delete) you need to look at what the file is. If it is a file than came in an email, the answer should be delete it! Make the sender provide a clean one if it is somethign you need. However, if a coworker sent you an important document (and you know...

Murray is dead on in his post. virus writers in an effort to make thier viruses more succesful (spread more) started the spoofing the sent address so that the actual person who is infected, doesn't get notifed that he is infected and can continue to spread the virus. Many ISPs no longer send...

I'm not sure why you think the problem is application dependent? Are you able to print from some applications ok? You don't actually say that. As your other reply indicates, I would suspect a power related issue. My two steps to troubleshoot this, given what we know, would be to move the...

Have you checked ASUS web site to see if there is an updated driver for the floppy controller? Could be a compatiblity/driver issue.

Even though he is a programmer talking about hardware issues :) Mr Barnett is correct, it won't fit or work. Even 266 ddr memory is cheap these days, just buy some! (I worked at CompuServe for 10 years and enjoyed picking on programmers, so nothing personal )

Double J, let me start by saying I have never worked with satellite internet. But I have done hundreds of cable internet setups. in the case of cable, the coax goes to a cable modem. A vast majority of cable modems have outputs in both USB and ethernet. Can you contact your provider and see...
