I have a Windows machine used as a file server. I also have a Mac on the same network with Samba enabled and the shares configured; however, when I add a file from a Windows machine to the share, it is not displayed on the Mac share until I disconnect and remount the share. How can I get the...

You might aso check the boot priority settings in your BIOS and move your hard drive ahead of what might show up as "LAN". This way, the OS on your HD will take over before Boot Agent gets a chance.

I need to get to an MS-DOS Prompt outside of Windows so I can disable Intel Boot Agent - the program that does this cannot run in a command window. A floppy formatted within Windows with MS-DOS System Files does the job well on my desktop (I get a prompt), but the laptop I'm trying to disable...

http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/File_Filter.aspx?FileName=proboot Download that and extract it. You'll need some way to access it outside of Windows - I would recommend formatting a floppy (right-click on A: in My Computer) with MS-DOS System Files (check the appropriate...

Works like a charm. Many thanks.

I recently DROPPED a laptop, destroying the motherboard but thankfully not the hard drive. Instead of messing around with it, I just bought a new machine. I put the hard drive from the old machine into the new, and naturally could not boot. My solution was to partition the drive with...

You're right and what you say makes sense. However, Micron and Synaptics both distribute an InstallShield executable. Is there a way to extract the driver files alone from the installers, or do the driver files themselves extract to the installer's "program files" folder? I should point out...

I just flashed my bios using the latest available from Micron's website - still recognized only as "Standard Mouse on PS/2 Port". The EVIL thing about it is that the driver supplied apparently lets you define actions for the left and right buttons regardless of what your device is, and there's...

How do I unplug a laptop's touchpad?

I have a Micron TransPort ZX laptop with a Synaptics Touchpad. After installing Windows XP Pro (after a format), I cannot change the properties of the touchpad (and "Tap-to-Click" is driving me crazy!!!). When I go into the Mouse control panel, all the Synaptics options are disabled. I've...

This was just a temporary measure anyway -- I did plan on a wireless network.

I've searched for days for howtos on how to set up internet connection sharing. They all go through this process of right-clicking on the connection you wanna share, clicking the Advanced tab, and simply checking a box. For some reason, this option is not available on my system. The only...

Ok, I tried another disk -- no go. Same problem, same frustration. I hope this doesn't turn out to be a hardware problem, because I already fixed a hardware problem by replacing the drive...unless it's something on the motherboard, which, being in a Gateway Profile 3, ain't real easy to replace.

You misunderstood, probably because I didn't make it all too easy to understand I use Windows XP Pro as my primary OS, on an HD shared with Mandrake Linux in another partition (dual-boot system). I have attempted to read floppies in Windows -- the drive "makes noise" but then I get...

My floppy drive is quirky, as was the last drive I put in this computer. Yet I am doubtful it is anything related to my motherboard. Read on... I should first point out that I'm using a Gateway Profile 3 -- this means that I have a laptop floppy drive, a Teac FD-05HG "slim jim&quot...

*bump* anyone know? :-\

Two full black ink cartridges are not solving my problem of not being able to print black with my Epson Stylus C60. Color works beautifully when black is not necessary. I've read about some nozzle cleaner stuff, but since it isn't widespread, I didn't simply jump to buy it. Is there anything...

Is there a way to disable Access's insistence to have this damned replication crap when a database is copied into a briefcase? The result is a copy of the database that is filled with extra fields and that is limited in that I cannot change its design. All I want to do is be able to have a...

Yeah, I found that out after I posted this...damn Microsoft

I would like to use a picture to fill in WordArt in MS Word, but for some reason the "Picture" tab in the "Format WordArt" dialog is disabled, as in the screenshot below:
