    Roxio GoBack vs. System Recovery

    I run XP Home (came with the HP laptop, can't justify the upgrade to Pro)...very mixed feelings about it. Anyway, that's another rant... I have Roxio's GoBack...the basic version that comes with Norton Systemworks 2002. I have used it a few times (successfully). I have a 10Gig hard drive and...

    Re-Connect to ISP problem

    Ok, I've had the problem again. My version of the message closely matches what you have listed, however, there is no mention as to which device it is nor any buttons to lead me towards any property pages. (Boy I'd love it if there were!) I went into the event viewer and the event that I get...

    Re-Connect to ISP problem

    I'm on XP Home and have recently begun to have a wierd problem. I'll be dialed into my ISP and sometimes if I let my connection timeout, when I redial it goes through the connection gyrations and then says it can't connect. I'll pay more attention next time but I believe the error is...

    Opening XP shares from 98 Machine

    I finally found a solution to this problem!! I was messing around in the event logging services in XP and thought I'd look at the messages when I tried to access my XP shares from the Win 98 side (the point at which I'd receive an error message). I found this message in the...

    Opening XP shares from 98 Machine

    Yes, shares have been established on the XP machine (at varying levels on the C drive...root, various folders, etc.). I get the same result with all of them. As far as I understand it, it IS using Simplified Sharing (I believe that's the default for Home Edition...which is what I'm using)...

    Opening XP shares from 98 Machine

    I have a 98SE machine and an XP HE machine "successfully" networked together via a crossover cable. The following works correctly: * can fully access the 98 drives from the XP machine * can see the XP machine and all shares from the 98 machine * can ping the XP machine via name and...

    IDE setup for best performance

    I have a computer with 2 hard drives and a CD-ROM and a CD-RW/DVD drive. My desire is to create a setup that allows I/O to go the fastest without a lot of conflicts. To that end, I've set up the drives as follows: Primary controller: Master: 40GB hard drive (Operating System and all software)...

    XP HE to Win98SE password question

    Thanks for the tips... Can you make the users without passwords? I don't mind signing in (too much) but I'd like to refrain from passwords here at home. Thanks...

    XP HE to Win98SE password question

    I have a big ol' 2-computer network going here! I have a desktop box running Win98SE and a laptop running XP HE and a cross-over cable running between the two. I ran the network setup wizard on the XP box and ran the setup wizard via the created disk on the 98 box. The two connect seamlessly...

    Thanks for the tip. Looks like a potentially great site for the kind of knowledge I'll be needing with my notebook. Thanks, David

    XP HE CD for OEM pre-install

    That helps a bit. I'm not trying to use one license of XP on 2 computers, I would have 2 licenses if I had the CD also...but since one license didn't come with the CD, I'd like to use the 1 CD for the occasional fix to 2 licenses. Thanks, David

    XP HE CD for OEM pre-install

    I'm an XP newbie. Just got it because I got a new laptop from HP with it pre-installed. I can't fathom being able to live long-term with an MS OS withOUT having a CD of the OS for periodic re-installs on top of the current system to fix minor things. Of course, HP only gives me...

    Prob w/USB Canon digicam and XP Home

    It would appear that I'm at least not completely alone in my quandry. Unfortunately, it's not clear that there is a direct solution...nor where the fault really lies. Thanks for turning me on to those groups though! David

    Prob w/USB Canon digicam and XP Home

    I'm stumped! And so is HP and Canon! I have a new HP Omnibook XE3 laptop with XP Home Edition pre-installed...AND NO XP CD!!! (yes, I'm YELLING about that ;c)) and a fairly new Canon PowerShot A40 digital camera. The FIRST thing I did when I got the laptop was to connect and install the...

    How to extract data from laptop hdd

    I have dealt with HDD's in desktop machines and feel competent enough in that area to swap HDD's in and out. A friend of mine, however, has a dead laptop machine (that he's already replaced). He wants the data from his dead machine (cracked motherboard...won't even power on) and has given it...

    Zip Parallel Drive Causes Reboot

    Well, I'm running Win98 SE and I recently downloaded and installed the lastest BIOS update on my ASUS MB but the problem persists. I may need to also do the same from Iomega (which I've not done yet). I'd much rather have a CD burner but it's an issue of $$$ at the moment...but boy would it be...

    Zip Parallel Drive Causes Reboot

    I have a Zip 100 Parallel Drive. If I access something on the Zip drive right after a fresh re-boot all is well and works as expected. I can even do some some simultaneous printing and Zip access. BUT...if I've been on the computer for a little while (even without any printing) and then put a...

    Vcore Voltage Warning - What is it?

    Ok, I've got PC Probe running (anyone else have problems with the windows in PC Probe being too small to see all the entries?), and I've been to Intel to find the specific voltage requirements. I found out where the voltage requirements go on the BIOS and adjusted them (don't know how they got...
