  2. God Said, "Adam, I Want you to do Something for me." Adam said, "Gladly, Lord, what do You want me to do?" God said, "Go down into that valley." Adam said, "What's a valley?" God explained it to him. Then God said, "Cross the river." Adam said, "What's a river?" ! God explained that to him, and then said, "Go over to the hill......." Adam said, "What is a hill?" So, God explained to Adam what a hill was. He told Adam, "On the other side of the hill you will find a cave" Adam said, "What's a cave?" ! After God explained, he said, "In the cave you will find a Woman." Adam said, "What's a woman?"

  15. when i first installed xpro my specs read 4gig hdd 650 cpu 128 ram so any thing above that will will be good mine was a bit slow and you needed a bit of patients but it worked and as well i was on dialup i was a member of many boards at the time and most recommended a sys much bigger that was ok for some who could afford it but those days i didnt have the money now i have so all depends on what you can afford so those specs i hope can give you a rough guide good luck marty
  16. one of the reasons Timspo14 has posted here is to get help if he was going to pay for those repairs he wouldnt have posted here would he that is what this board is for not to advertise professional help ok Timspo14 if you go to pc support and look for th thread commonally recomended tips and links you will find help there and it is free if you have a disk it would help some where in that thread is a solution i havent had to use the repair console so i do not know how to activate it from the hidden partition i know how to delete it but that would require you to have an install disk

  18. im not sure if this will work on win98se try clearing your history and temp files then go to start run type cmd at the prompt type ipconfig/flush dns press enter. then come out of the cmd start- run in the run box type regsvr32 urlmon.dll press enter then reboot this works on xp but it is worth a try on win98 marty

    Bubba

    That Ain't Bubba!! Bubba died in a fire and his body was burned pretty badly. The morgue needed someone to identify the body, and Bubba didn't have any remaining family members, so they sent for his two best friends, Darryl and Gomer. Darryl arrived first, and when the mortician pulled back the sheet, Darryl said, "Yup, his face is burned up pretty bad. You better roll him over." The mortician rolled him over, and Darryl said, "Nope, that ain't Bubba." The mortician thought this was rather strange. So he brought Gomer in to confirm the identity of the body. Gomer looked at the body and said,
  23. yes dell have a hidden partition were the recovery program resides this saves dell hp and some others from supplying you with an instalation disk by law in my country a disk has to be supplied with the compt there is a downside if you have crash and your sys gets corrupted when you try to boot in the black screen it will say you need a sys DISK TO BOOT a boot floppy wont work either then that partition needs to be deleted in europe they tried sue those companys that used this practice as they felt a cd needed to be supplied i think the case is still being fought there is a wipe dis
