| | Only happens when you connect to the net, eh? And it still happens after a full format and reinstall as well... odd. How is your friend connecting to the net? What browser, conection type, etc.?  |
| | If you're working with XP SP2, the first thing you should try is to [i]completely[/i] disable the built-in Windows firewall on both machines.  |

[/quote]Well now, [I]that [/I]certainly gives us a lot to go on... :mrgreen: Please give us as many details as possible on your IP addressing scheme as a whole, what exact errors you've encountered, etc. As far as the switch goes, the EZXS88W is nothing fancy, … |
 | [QUOTE=bentkey]... or the switch port you are plugging into does not correctly negotiate autoconnect...[/QUOTE] Yes- if changing the cable doesn't hep, try a different port as well. If those suggestions don't do the trick, it might be time to look "inside the box": - Have you verified that the TCP/IP … |
| | * The antivirus and "Internet Security" packages from both Norton and McAfee have definitely caused headaches for a lot of people, and even when they're working properly, they put a heck of a load on your system (especially your startup time). * The free version of [B]AVG[/B] is only the … |

| | Re: A Blown Fuse? If the power supply has blown two fuses, then it is almost certainly faulty power supply. A shorted component in the supply is causing the supply to try to draw more current (from the wall outlet) than it should safely do; the fuses are blowing because of this, because that … |
| | What diagnostic program? A loopback cable or loopback plug is a piece of hardware necessary for troubleshooting certain functions of modem, sound, network, etc. cards; if you don't have one installed when you run certain diagnostics, those diags will either fail or complain that they can't be run without the … |
 | Rakesh, We ask that members start their own thread when they have a question, as opposed to tagging their question onto a thread started by another member. This helps reduce confusion and keeps the troubleshoots more focussed. I have split your question into its own separte thread; please follow your … |
| | If SBC isn't giving you a static IP, you can't just assign yourself a static, Internet-routable IP on the WAN/Internet side of the router; that could cause problems/conflicts. However, your SBC-assigned IP shouldn't really change that often, even if it is technically dynamic, unless you're constantly turning off the actual …  |
| | [QUOTE=jwenting]Well, blatant advertising for Firefox shouldn't be in the IE forum either as it has nothing to do with IE :cheesy:[/QUOTE] Sure it does- This is a forum for fixing problems with IE, and Firefox certainly does [i]that[/i]. :mrgreen:  |

| | A couple of thoughts: 1. Uninstall the drivers again, but this time don't let Windows simply reload the existing drivers it finds. Download a fresh driver load and install that instead. 2. It may be hardware problem instead: - dirt on the lenses - tracking mechanism getting out of alignment … |
| | 1. [QUOTE=walterc]I connect the modem cable to uplink port...[/QUOTE] Technically, the modem should be connected to the WAN port of the router; the router's uplink port is for stacking/chaining the router with another router/switch/hub. 2.

| | If you want to reformat your system drive, you won't be able to do that when booted into the Windows installation on your drive anyway- you'll need to boot from a Windows install CD and you will then be able to choose to reformat your drive as part of the … |
| | Hi funhouse, First of all- welcome to our site. :) We don't troubleshoot technical prolems in our Community Introductions forum, so I've moved your thread to a forum which is more suited to your question, and in which you will get more responses from our other Linux-savy members. In terms … |

| | [QUOTE=i h8 this]nope, its the same exact issue word for word. [/QUOTE] i h8 this, We ask that members not tag their questions on to a thread previously started by another member, regardless of how similar your problem might seem. Not only does it divert the focus of the thread …  |
| | [QUOTE=stranoblaze]has this freezer trick worked even with HDs that had the clicking noise?[/QUOTE] Yes it has, but the chance of sucess depends on the severity of the damage already done. The clicking noise is the sound of the drive's head actuator trying to engage, but failing to do so. This … |

| | Re: 2 nic cards 2 NICs sharing the same IRQ could be problematic. Try moving one of the NICs to another PCI slot; that might force a reallocation of IRQs on the PCI bus. |

| | Hi Keli, welcome to DaniWeb :) - How are the two computers connecting to the cable modem? Does the cable modem itself allow multiple computers to be connected directly to it, or do you have the computers connected to a router or switch which then connects to the modem? - … |
| | First of all, we'll be able to help you much more quickly if you include the [i]full and exact[/i] text of any error messages you get instead of just stating: "pop up the messege Generic Host Process for win 32 bla bla bla bla". Regardless of how cryptic the full …  |
| | Re: iexplorer.exe It could quite possibly be that you're infected with viruses/spyware/etc. Have a look through the threads in our Security forum for information on how to detect and remove those pests. If you find that infections [i]are[/i] the problem, start a new thread in the Security forum telling us what you've … |

| | The FAT/FAT32 filesystems automatically create a backup File Allocation Table in case the primary FAT gets corrupted. Of course, as you're seeing, the implementaion isn't entirely perfect. If a reformat didn't clear things up: 1. Get a bootable floppy with fdisk on it. 2. Boot from that and use fdisk … |

| | [color=Blue][font=Comic Sans MS] [QUOTE] In this window type: C:\Windows\system32\Restore[/QUOTE][font=Verdana][color=Black] [/color][/font][color=Black][font=Verdana]That command should have been "[i][b]cd[/b][/i] C:\windows\system32\restore"; that's why you got the "not recognized" error.

| | What's the make/model of the computer and/or motherboard? SATA-capable motherboards often still include an interface/connection for IDE drives. If that's the case you'll just need to get an IDE ribbon cable, plug the drive in, and see if the BIOS detects it. If so, you should be good to go. … |
| | More specific information on your problem would help: - What exact version of Windows? Give us the hardware specs of computer as well; as the others have said, STOP errors are often hardware-related in some way. - Is what you posted the [i]full[/i] contents of the BSOD message? If the … |
| | Have you forgotten the Administrator's password as well? This is kind of a sketchy question to post here, because we don't allow discussion of hacking/cracking, and bypassing login passwords could certainly fall into that category. In other words- no offense, but we don't really know that it's [i]your[/i] system that … |

| | [i]Exactly[/i] where in the process of running the Add Printer wizard does it give you the message, and what is the [i]exact[/i] text of the message? Having that information will help us determine where the problem lies, but my feeling is that what Yzk is getting at is correct; the … |
 | Have you tried pestering Tascam, or perhaps contacting the nearest pro audio dealer? It might be a bit of "pulling teeth", but it could be worth it. That's a fairly old card which, as you know, was never meant to work with XP. Finding an answer on a purely computer-oriented … |
| | That error isn't exactly uncommon, but there can be a number of reasons for it. Are you performing a new, fresh re-installation of XP, or are you tring to reinstall "over" your existing installation (an "in-place" reinstall)? |
| | Post your HijackThis log here; not only will it give us an indication of whether or not infections are present, but it may also show us where the nvmctray.dll and nvcpl.dll errors are coming from. 1. Create a folder for HJT outside of any Temp/Temporary folders and move the HijackThis.exe … |
| | When you get the Blue Screens, do they give any Stop error codes? If so, post the full and exact code. |
| | Aside from the possibilities mentioned above, a bad stick of RAM could be the cause as well. Download and run [url="http://www.memtest86.com/"]memtest86[/url]; it will do a pretty thorough test of your RAM and will indicate whether or not the RAM is good. |
| | Please give us some history on the problem, and post as many details as you can about what [i]exactly[/i] you mean when you say it won't boot (does the fan turn on? LEDs? Can you hear the drive spin? etc., etc.) |
| | 1. NTVDM (NT Virtual DOS Machine) is a Windows component which provides a mechanism for running older 16-bit programs on newer (32-bit) versions of Windows.
