  2. I had the cpu off of a HP zv5000. It had thermal compound grease. Reapplied a dab good to go until the power plug died, replaced the mobo (thanks to ebay) another dab of grease and off we went, up and running again. It also had the 4 spring loaded screws.

    A Must Read

    I had to post this for all to read. ***The following passage is from a sermon by John Hagee of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio: I want you to close your eyes and picture in your mind the soldier at Valley Forge, as he holds his musket in his bloody hands. He stands barefoot in the snow, starved from lack of food, wounded from months of battle, and emotionally scarred from the eternity away from his family surrounded by nothing but death and carnage of war.

  9. I had read that myspace will incorporate a cross reference database of registered sexual offenders. This is all good but can you say John Smith, or John Q. Public. But it is a step in the right direction.
  10. Hey folks I just wanted to put a bug in your brain. MDA raises money throughout the year, it is not just for the Labor Day Telethon. They are making it easier to reach friends and family who are out of town or out of state so they can help raise money. I have a link to a page I set up for an event we have in Feb. Check with your local office, bottom of page - MDA in your community, to see how you can help. Every year MDA sends kids to camp for a week, a week where they are equal.

  15. Here is my "Path" C:\Program Files\Motorola\Canopy\NetworkUpdater\_jvm\bin I installed this Network Updated and everything went to the crapper. Two fold question, Why did it happen, How do I fix it? This just started recently, since we first discussed it. M
  16. Every time I install something it gets put to the beginning if the system variables path. Then all dos commands need to be typed with the path typed in, ie c:\windows\system32\xxxxx. What gives? I use telnet,ping, and ipconfig alot while working. Any ideas? M
  17. Ok it has been forever since I touched html but.....heres the thing. Forum links are on the left and scroll bar is on the right. Could an option be set in the users control panel as to left or right scroll bar. Or left or right justified forum links? May be a windows thing with the scroll bar, google here I come. Just a thought, as I am bouncing from the left side of the screen to the right and back left.... M
