  1. hi shadow ive had it on for a whole day and ive scanned with Adaware twice and there wasnt any spy ware.normally when i scan with adaware i get the mru files and that sis all ive got so far tho i set my cookies at prompt and block so if a cookie is to be place on my sys it prompts me first . it is easonably safe. ive scanned for virus several times. if i post any thing on the board i try my best to make sure it is reasonably safe marty

  9. hi team at last ive installed mandrake 9.1 this time on a stand alone and not with winxp but ive found the same problem as before it wont auto detect my modem nor my sound card. i have an isa sound card.and in th startup configuration it asked me if i had an isa card and i checked that box.but it said i need to start. SNDCONFIG.im lost here . and the modem when i had mandrake on my sys before i had to configure the modem manually.so where do i go to do that . nearly 2 years since i had it on so my memory isnt as good now as it was then. besides the compny who sold me the modem helped me to co
  10. i had mandrake 9.1 on an earlier compt but i didnt have enough resources. so i bought a 10 and a 20 geg hdds. which meant i had to change my sys. i hadto buy a modem compatable to linux it wouldnt recognise win modems the company i bought the modem off helped me to configure it into my sys. then the sys wouldnt recognise my sound card.so i had to buy a sound card compatable to linux. so buy this time i was wondering how much more hardware i needed to buy to get this sys to work. so you see how frustrating it was becomming. ok i realised mandrake was free but it was becomming apparent the har

    for several days i havent been able to get into my knoppix disk it was displaying an error. to day i tried it 3 times . and now i inserted the disk and the knoppix home page came up what ide been trying to get for 3 days. the mystry is i wasnt on line when i inserted the disk .so does any one think i need to be off line first. then go on line when the knoppiux home page comes up. im on line now so every thing seems to be ok. this has been frustrating for me and it has made me angry and so ive been short with some of the posters which i regret. now i realise most people try to help . but when

    has any one seen a post from sultan in the last 2 days. ive looked here and g4 . but there is nary a sign marty
  17. when i first read the post it looked as tho the poster wanted to send an email but didnt want the reciever to know who it was from. so wanted to know where do you get a hush mail program from. some one posted dodgeit. i didnt know a hush mail program existed so i was a bit puzzled whith the post marty
  18. yes i must have subscribed when i was at techtv cfh ive reinstalled twice since then. cant remember it, but i see they used my user name.so some where i must have used my name. however when it comes to a virus we cant be to careful. tho i have to admit ive only had 2viruses once at c.f.h and once here.or at g4.but my scanner went mad and i got rid of it before it did any damage.but for the life of me i cant remember emisoft. those days i used to go into all sites in spite of pete and daves warnings but it has rubbed of me now and i try to surf safe.
  19. hi il how do you recover the sound icon from the notification in win 98 a friend is haveing this trouble .weve been in to check the box.in sound options and it is greyed out. so i presume it is either a driver or needs to have the volume control program reinstalled.i can do it in winxp but not win 98. marty the sys says the driver is ok. so the volume program needs to be reinstalled or expanded like you posted for me in xp

  21. sorry about my replys i find linux frustrating .poster after poster come on to the board.and say there is nothing to it.like in my first post. i say it is not user friendly. dont worry i experimented with it. 2-3 years ago. and ive posted on all the boards on how to combat it . when i first got the knoppix disk. i went to my library to try and study it and the developers said it wasnt for ordinary users it was developed more for the techniachly minded . im not technicaly minded . so i class it as not user friendly. what is wrong with that statement. when i bought mandrake 9.1 the problem wa

  23. those signs are called ~~~ tildes and usually appear when you configure your address book at least that is what petecovell posted and explained. the poster was a new memeber. who with drew the posts. maybe i upset him with my post if so i didnt mean to.he may have taken it the wrong way hope he comes back.or may be it is a she. marty
  24. i dont give a s---t what you think of my post ive posted the problem 8- 9 times and if the sys was as well used as you spout why havent i got an answer. one thing i wont be using any linux sys after this. isnt user freindly. only for some one with tech knowledge. and most important you have to know how to use the console. in front of me i have the history of linux and no where does it say FOR THE ORDINARY USER it says for the tech minded. marty.
