| | Unfortunately, it sounds like the reinstall left your programs and data intact, but overwrote your Registry with a new "clean" Registry. When programs are first installed, they write information into the Registry which basically tells the operating system how to "handle" the programs. A fresh clean Registry contains none of … |
| | [QUOTE=Catweazle]I would not bother installing Windows XP on a 233MHz/128Mb system - it'd run like a 'dog' on a system with low specs like that one.[/QUOTE] Agreed. If 2K is working well for you, stick with it. In terms of your networking question- yes, 2K and XP will network together … |

| | Re: Win98 CD key If you haven't wiped your original install yet, you can retrieve the key like so: [url]http://personal-computer-tutor.com/abc2/v15/vic15.htm[/url] If you've already reformatted, you're probably out of luck. You can try giving Microsoft a call, but they'll probably charge you a fee for Win 9.x assistance.  |
| | [QUOTE=alc6379]It wouldn't matter then if the Local Area Connection is unplugged, as you're not using that connection. Don't remove the driver though-- it's not interfering.[/QUOTE] Yes. The Local Area Connection will be the Ethernet (wired) network card in the laptop; the wireless connection will be a separate entry in your … |

| | Re: Pop-before-SMTP The POP-before-SMTP authentication scheme usually has a time limit associated with it. If you haven't authenticated to the POP server (by checking your mail) within the specified timeout window, you may get the 550 error. The next time it happens, try checking your mail first and then resend the message. |
| | The brand isn't the important bit really- what we would need to know in order to help you get the drivers is the make and model of motherboard and/or specific information about the hardware devices (sound and video chipsets, for example) you're having trouble with. |
| | If it's only one address, it could also be a problem with the site/server. Open a DOS box and try the following commands: ping [i]URL of site[/i] ping [i]IP address of site[/i] nslookup [i]URL of site[/i] nslookup [i]IP address of site[/i] |

| | Depending on the make/model of the straight 56k modem, it may or may not support the v90 enhancements.

| | Re: Missing dll I'm moving this to our Security forum. Please read the many "bridge.dll"-related threads in that forum- the error is the result of "spyware" on your system. You'll want to thoroughly check your machine for spyware, but to fix the bridge.dll error specifically: Choose "run" under your Start menu and type … |
| | I'd agree with the above; the condition of the phone line is most important factor in getting (or not) a good connection speed. A degradation in line quality anywhere between you and your telco's CO will result in a poorer connection speed. Also, where are you getting the 12-18k figures? … |
