| | 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. |

| | 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 … |

| | 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 :) |

| | 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. |

| | 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 … |

 | 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.

| | 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 … |
The End.
