Hope that your boss is good looking and of the opposite sex and you don't get caught by your other half...lol I agree with the fees that these rip off shops charge. For the price that they charge, they should at least do a back up for you for that price.

If you have a firewall installed, the one in Widows will be OFF. It is turned on automatically when you install SP2 if you don't have a firewall already. To install SP2, any firewall is supposed to be disabled according to MS. The PC that I am on had everything running when it downloaded automatically from MS. I have had NO problems at all. The other PC's that I have put SP2 on where when I did a clean install and it was the next thing put on then I went to MS and got all the updates. It took 3 times like you stated as some are to be done by them selves and there are also updates for updates.

Is the router you have now Wireless? If not, you will need one and a card each PC that you are going to move.

In Windows there are 3 choices. Right click on a blank space on you desktop and choose Properties by left clicking. Then click on Appearence and chose 1 of the 3 colors. You can also download ObjectDock and choose from several of them. There is a FREE and a PAID version. I have the FREE one and have about 20 different ones. CLICK

Right click on My Computer and go to Properties. Then the Hardware tab and then Device Manager. Do you see any YELLOW ? of ! beside the Audio or anyplace else?

I have used many a stick of 133 in a 100 and not the first problem. Most 133 is backward compatible to 100. It does see the whole amount on the stick. I have use 128 and 256 with no problems at all. I just added the stick and have even tried switching the positions and it didn't matter. Go for it.

Go here and you can check on a lot of places. Resellers Ratings and here is NewEgg

Real Player Alternative is much better then Real Time is. Just like QT Alternative is better then QT. Kept up to date more then the others are. And you don't need the originals to do it and they are both FREE.

Better yet. Give it a sound so when you use it for real or hit it by mistake, it will make a sound. Start/Control Panel/Accessibillity Options and put a check in the box that says Toggle Keys. Click Apply, OK then close down Control Panel. Now hit the Caps Lock Key, Number Lock and the Scroll Lock keys and listen to the sound when it is turned on then do it again and it makes a different sound when turned off.

I haven't personally used this one but have seen where other folks have with great success. CLICK HERE You can check the ratings on the page also. Most love it and it has saved them. There are a couple of neg. reports but that could be because they didn't know how to use the program.

What flavor of windows are you running?

You have a ram problem. Plug it back in the first slot.

Did you look at the built in templates? File/New and select one. You may also find some at MS Office update site.

you answered his question :-) is that location of any practical use? Instaiiing drivers must be more complicated then just saving them from that directory and copying them back after reinstall. I am just guessing the inner workings of Windows still is a mystery to me. There is no mystery about it. If you have them and they work, why search the net for them?

I am getting ready to format a PC for a friend and reinstall XP. Can somebody tell me where the drivers are located so that I can copy them to a CD or Floppy. This is a home made rig. Nice little PC was put together for him. The person who did this is no longer in the area.

Are even sure your PC sees the whole 512 in that slot?

what do you mean my "cd hider" - what are you trying to accomplish? Hide dirty movies???

Some ISP's will bounce them like that because their E-Mail program sees it as SPAM and will do that. Sometimes a way to get arround that is by sending it to yourself in the To: box and the rest in the BCC: box.

Well put. If you had a REAL copy and had this problem, MS would fix it for you for FREE...

Right click My Computer then Left click Properties. Then click the Hardware tab and then Device Manager and does it show a yellow ? or ! beside the floppy disc? You might have to click on the + beside it to expand it.

Object Dock is a good one. They have a FREE and a PAID Version. The only thing that I see is every 24 hours of on a reboot, they have a built in popup wanting you to but the program. Have had it for a couple of years on 2 different PC's and no problems what so ever. You can go back and download different stuff for FREE as they come out with it. It does just the basic stuff and you can go right back and get several different add on thinks. CLICK HERE

I would not even worry about a registry cleaner. They usually do more harm then good. If you aren't having any major issues, I would not worry about it. Do you have a firewall that works both Incoming and Outgoing? A spyware program like Spybot Search & Destroy? A spyware program like SpywareBlaster? And of course a Anti Virus Program I delete my Cookies, Temp Files and Clear History and run Disc Cleanup with ALL the boxes checked at least once or twice a week. Other then that a Defrag every couple of months and that is about it. Need a link to Spybot and Spyware Blaster, go to www.majorge
