 | Re: CD Problem What software have you installed recently? That's the 'biggie', because most such problems are created by software conflicts which stuff up the settings and Registry entries related to your drive. But the questions asked by DMR are very important also, together with these: What cable did you attach the new …  |
 | Re: Quote Game Posted by [b]Coconut Monkey[/b][QUOTE]Bit hard to replace the graphics card in a laptop though. :-/[/QUOTE]  |
 | What motherboard do you have? What make/model RAM modules do you have? |
| | Okay. What editing prograsm are you using? I'm betting that its settings are configured to not overwrite files, and possibly to incrementally add a number to the filename. Another possibility is that is storing backup copies. Click Start -> Search. Choose files and folders. Onstead of entering a filename, click … |
| | umm.... Janine, that doesn't make sense. MpG, could you please let us know what make and model of scanner it is, and also what, if any, OCR software is being used with the scanner. When you scan a document the scanner by nature creates an image file, not a document … |
| | Hi TokyoPrince [url]http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315341&Product=winxp[/url] That's the procedure. but I have to ask. Why? There's not enough difference between Home and Pro to make it worth doing. Unless, of course, you need to connect to a Domain rather than a simple network. In every other respect, given a few settings and a … |
| | In addition to that, if the previous display card did not have an ATi graphics processor, you should ideally format and reinstall before using the card. But check that you are not using the card with detail settings set too high. A 9600XT isn't really a high performance card when …  |
| | Here's a more detailed technique, which should work for really stubborn cases of this. [url]http://www.pcuser.com.au/pcuser/hs2.nsf/web/8CF21B49252CDEE4CA256F07008278C7[/url] |
| | I'd personally choose an Antec NeoPower or an OCZ ModStream if I was to purchase a modular PSU, not one from a little known manufacturer. Antec and OCZ have a reputation for manufacturing quality product. Yes, I've seen instances where problems have cropped up from the use of XConnect PSUs, … |
| | dcc, if asking a question like this you should indicate just what your budget is, so that people can recommend components you can realistically purchase. You should also indicate what country you live in, because members at Daniweb come from all over the world!  |
| | Make a Windows startup diskette. Download all the device drivers for your system and put them on CD. Boot from the floppy, format, and install again. then load your drivers and software. Stop using AOL software and browse the net with a decent web browser! |
| | errr..... uummmm....... What disk utilities or other system tools software have you used recently?  |

| | 21 porn popups? Quick! Drape a blanket over that PC before someone sees it :D Sorry, I couldn't resist that. Someone will be along to help you really soon now :)  |
| | There are many places you can download WinAmp from. Use Google to search for winamp download and you'll find lots of them. Try another download location and you'll possibly get an uncorrupted download. Moved to Windows Software section. |
| | Use My Computer' or Windows Explorer, navigate to the folders where you stored them, and check that they're still present. If you're accessing documents from over a 2 year period then the 'Recent Documents' thingy on the Start menu is a next to useless way to access them anyway. |
| | Could you post details of your motherboard, processor and ram type/speed please? I'll move this to the appropriate hardware section if necessary. |
| | All that did for me was displayed some of the page code for pages I'd visited. Not a single thing that I'd entered from the keyboard was displayed, no matter how many times I tried.  |
| | Hi Janine, You've mentioned that you've looked on the internet, and caperjack has recommended that you use Google to do so. I have to wonder abour your internet search techniques. If you're simply typing some text into a search box and pressing the 'Search' button, then perhaps you need to … |
| | Point one: There is no such thing as a '2600MHz' Athlon XP processor. The fastest one ever produced is the 3200+ model, which runs at 2200MHz. If your processor is a 2200+ it is supposed to operate at 1800MHz Point two: There have been more than one model of many … |
| | This usually relates to a conflict between video drivers and DirectDraw. Ensure you have the latest versions of DirectX and your Display driver installed. Get the latest version of DirectX from Windows update. Get the latest version of your display driver from: * The system manufacturer website if it's a … |
| | Questions should go in the section for the appropriate Windows version, djm 123. I've moved this to the Windows 98 section for you. |
| | Your 2200+ processor uses a 133MHz bus setting, but the system uses DDR modules, so it actually operates at a speed of 266MHz front side bus. That's the speed of the communication line between processor and the system. If the 400MHz PC3200 module is compatible with your system and recognised … |
 | Re: Viewing Binary Sure there is. Use a Binary or Hex editor. Heres a listing: [url]http://www.bookcase.com/library/software/msdos.util.binedit.html[/url] This one looks good to me: [url]http://www.hhdsoftware.com/hexeditor.html[/url] The DOSSHELL of MS-DOS 5.0 and later had that facility built into the Editor :) |

| | Boot into Safe mode'. You do that by holding down the <F8> key after the screens of POST info have displayed and before the Windows logo screen shows, and then choosing 'Safe Mode' from the boot menu. Run the tools you've mentioned from within Safe mode. The nasties you have … |
| | Which browser you using, Jeanne? Internet Explorer? |
| | Re: Modems Arun Sewak, I'd suggest you ditch that modem and replace it with an external one. Some WinModems simply have problems with Windows XP and drivers do not fix them! They are poor quality components in any case, and using an external modem will give a much more reliable internet connection. … |
| | Certainly some interesting things come out of MIT. One of the recent efforts was the generation of a computer program which writes randomly created research papers with 'context-free grammar', charts and diagrams. "[They] submitted two of the randomly assembled papers to the World Multi-Conference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics (WMSCI), … |
| | In most cases you do need to copy the files to floppy. You also need to omit certain .pdf document files when you copy the drivers to floppy, as they are too large to fit. |
| | Hi Linda, There is a time limit in place after which posts cannot be edited by members. This is to ensure that editing only takes place for purposes where the person posting realises that there is additional information which should have been included in the post, and does so shortly … |
| | Okay, some comments if I may. In a professional capacity. I write IT for a living, and get commissioned to write software reviews from time to time. * That's a pretty good attempt to write software review snippets in the way print and web editors like them. Brief comments, a … |
 | [QUOTE=redsabre]Hello to you... and welcome. Look at me, I'm already acting like the welcome wagon here.[/QUOTE] Welcome aboard redsabre, and thanks go to you for showing us so very clearly how well this 'Introductions' section is working! We want people to think of Daniweb as a community in itself, not …  |
 | You mentioned RAM [b]chips[/b]. Try it with just a single module installed. RAM mismatches can do this ;) |
| | If your motherboard does not accomodate SATA drives then you can't use one. In addition, the onlt ATA133 (or UDMA133 if you want to use that term) drives that I know of are Maxtor brand, and I wouldn't go near them. Had too many problems with Maxtor drives in the … |
| | I presume that you have other drives, for data storage. If not then you need to purchase another drive. 2Gb of free space is not enough, by today's standards, and hard drives are not really expensive. You need to have a good look at the 'Settings' or 'Options' or 'Preferences' … |
 | Several issues here, I feel. Firstly, claims that any 'deal' to refuse returns are underhanded and involve Microsoft are quite correct. That's bad practice according to any criteria of analysis, including a legal one. Secondly, any implication that Microsoft would be justified in believing that an OEM or an Educational … |
| | The download is an updated version. |
| | Hi, It's time I sought some assistance from the more technically minded of you. I have a small (big?) problem I'm trying to resolve. The situation is this: For Windows 98, the system can be backed up, using MSBackup, and restored by using PCRESTOR.BAT, which resides in the TOOLS folder … |
| | Hi dcc. Just about any unbuffered, 'single sided' SD-RAM modules of up to 256Mb each should be fine in that system. PC133 modules will simply operate at 100MHz rather than the faster speed. They don't need to be CAS2. On the 'Advanced chipset' menu in BIOS setup, set 'Configure SDRAM … |
| | Re: monitor is dark I'm afraid it sounds like you need to do two things, Isam24. * Drop that monitor into a repair shop to get checked and fixed or replaced if necessary. * Rearrange the electricals or put some sort of guard around them so that baby can't get near the things. I'm … |
| | I'm not sure what you're saying here, Answerpooler. The concept of broadband is that the PC is continually online whilst in operation. You've mentioned "shutting down AOL", but the actual connection of the PC to the modem must be disabled to have your system isolated. I've not had experience with … |
 | Read this topic, danfritschen, and the information linked in it. You'll find plenty of information about the forum there :D |
| | [QUOTE]We're sorry, the product you have searched for is no longer available for sale.[/QUOTE] That said, the Thermaltake cases are very good quality, the power supply units included are also very good quality, and if such a case is affordable for you then it's a sound purchase. Personally, I'd NEVER … |
| | Re: New Daniweb!!! [QUOTE=zeroth]Very good job! I´ll have to agree with scribbler that the add just above the quick reply is a nuisance. [b]Reason being that you can´t see the previous post when writing the reply[/b], so if you need to refer to it you have to keep scrolling up and down. Since …  |
| | That sounds like an error message which could indicate either of two things: * you've downloaded a BIOS update which is not really for your motherboard * you've tried to install a BIOS update when BIOS is not at default settings. If you're certain that you have the correct update … |
| | Depends on how much 'future proofing' you really think you need. I'm still sitting here on an overclocked XP2500+, FX5900XT, still loading new games and not yet frantic to upgrade. That's a generation behind on both fronts! You can grab a Socket 754 entry level Sempron, overclock it and get …  |
| | Hi jeane, and welcome to DaniWeb. The first thing you could do in your efforts to get that eMac going again would be to visit the Mac forum section for your particular version of MacOS, and ask for help from some of the experienced people who hang out there.

| | Unless it's something simple like a reversed power LED connector, I'd be suspecting the motherboard too. Or perhaps a faulty power switch in the case? |
| | That procedure, scott808, os more likely to cause further problems than it is to fix old ones. Playing with the power switch like that stresses components and will eventually end up causing damage. Correct the problem - don't compensate for it! |
The End.
