    Upgrading drive to 30Gb----PROBLEMS!!

    Ok......that's what everyone is telling me, but the cable end that goes into the floppy only fits one way, there is a notch at one side so it has to go that way. The other end of the cable is notched on one side to fit into the motherboard. The cables themselves will not go into the slots unless...

    Upgrading drive to 30Gb----PROBLEMS!!

    Hi, If by lead you mean the cable that runs from the board to the floppy, I have checked that three times, there is only one way in which it will fit because of the notches on the cable. Does that make sense? Of course, I'm here asking you guys for help because I am certainly not as technically...

    EXCEL 2000--- illegal closing everytime I print invoices

    Thank you Dreamboat, at least the macro reminder has quit, lol. I have tried what you said to do in your FAQ....saving it into a new book. That did not work.

    EXCEL 2000--- illegal closing everytime I print invoices

    Has anyone else experienced this and if so what'd you do? Everytime I use Excel to do invoices and then print the invoice, Excel has an illegal closing. The printer is installed properly. It will never print either. Also, is there anyway to get it to stop asking if I want to disable or enable...

    A new HD in an old PC

    Also, I'd like to add, that I have never done anything like this before. The hardest thing I have ever done to anyone's computer is reformatting. The biggest problem I've ever run into doing that is not being able to delete the partition. So please be patient with me as I have no formal...

    A new HD in an old PC

    I have no idea, I can't get any further into the computer but what I just showed you in the previous post. I press F1 to go into setup, but it won't go. It will only give me a load error. How do I get into Bios if I can't F1? Thanks, Aqua
