  1. xmasbus.sys is corrupt again. I am thinking of a repair install. If this is a no go then fresh install. M

    Website I Built.

    Thanks guys. I made a few tweaks, I am doing the editing in notepad until I setup Expressions on our server. Then when I remote into the server I can edit it there locally. We are not allowing ftp on this server so that is out. Again thanks for the input. Found the egg? M
  3. I have memberships other places but everytime I log in I have to get the password reminder. This is home. We all know the regulars and we have a concern for each one. Happy Birthday BT!! This is a heck of an accomplishment for a young man. Hell for the most part most of the mods can be called kids by the majority of the membership, referring only to age not ability. I would make sure this was on my resume'. Then we can have a letter of recommendation thread. Hmmmm. Hats off to Jeff. M
  4. I like the third because the swirl and it is off set. But there again I am the only one who likes my imaginary friends. M

    Thanks guys this is exactly what I was looking for. As for MS Expressions, well I played with Dreamweaver a few years ago so I have nothing "new" to compare with. But for the most part I was comfortable with it in a mater of hours. This may seam like a long time, but I am no web designer. It will allow you to manipulate the page while viewing it. Over all I give it a thumbs up. I am still trying to get the code validated using an online html checker, every change I make give me another validation error. M
  6. Thanks Shane, This is very valuable information. Everyone who does hardware should file this tidbit away. M
  7. Hey folks I did a website for the new company I work for. I did it in MS Expressions Web. I need feed back. I do not have php on the server so the contact form does not work. Look around let me know. I am trying to put google maps on also, not having any luck. Like any site it is a work in progress. I left an egg. Should be easy to find. SolvPro M
  8. Been there done that, got a shirt. Nothing. M
  9. I was thinking along those lines also about the board being bad. I kinda do not want to keep replacing parts on trial and error. The last few weeks have not been going in my favor as far as hardware issues. M
  10. I have a pc it does not power up. I swapped the PSU, Nothing. I swapped the mobo with a new one, Nothing. I had the new psu and mobo, still nothing. I checked the connections, all pins fow power and what nots. Everything is connected. I get no post, no fans,and no smoke. !!!? Could it be the processor? If so do I swaf the mobo also, or can I return it. Which processor to get. I am not into swapping processors much. This is the pc. These are the processors from newegg. I only have a newegg and zipzoom fly accounts. The pc was working at night, nothing the next morning. Mike
  11. stay with the d-link if it serving your needs. You can put open source firmware on the linksys to play with it. As for as the neighbor. Turn it on and monitor the traffic, when they connect shut it off. Then when he is over drinking a brew with you he will ask all kinds of questions about "a open connection." But you have to wait untill you feel the are moving lots of traffic. It's just funnier. Kinda like the windex commercial with the birds ringing the doorbell. M
  12. You will be able to host your own email and website, along with others. I was thrown into a server swap, the IT company that was working this company we are contracted to did not label any cat5. Sold the company devices that were never used.... Good luck. M

    I think the guys in the dark suits finally caught up with him. He has been quit lately. Is anyone brave/stupid enough to go to the basement to check on him. M
  14. I like option 2. I dunno why.... m
  15. Found the explanation below @ this site. Hope it give you some insight. * I moved an M3U to another place on my computer and now it won't play. A lot of times the paths to the MP3 files in an M3U are "relative", that means they look for the MP3 files in relation to where the M3U file lives. Example: If I had an M3U in the following location on my hard drive: c:\mp3s ...and it contained path to an MP3 like: Abba\Annoying_abba_song_1.mp3 ... my MP3 playing program is really looking for that file in: c:\mp3s\Abba\Annoying_abba_song_1.mp3 ... so if I move the M3U file t
  16. I also say you are WAY more than fair. I do stuff at my house, their house and the company I work for. If show her the benefits of having the faster speed so you can remote into her machine if she asks. The time to drive out and back PLUS your time on site. Try to relate it to a business she is familiar with. You can rest your head friend, you are fair. I have been known to charge more if I am getting grief from the customer when I am doing work on the side. Just hoping they will not come back. Mike

    Idiot Admin

  19. use "find" to search and replace?? just a thought. I did it in MS Expressions Web M
  20. jbruce, Welcome to besttechie.net. I remove your email address from your post. Members can contact you with a PM (private Message) if needed. Then you can give that person your email address if you want. Crossover cables have a different color code at each end, if you didn't know. The 169. address is windows giving the address to itself. Windows is not getting an IP address from the hardware upstream from it, ie: switch, router. The router/modem from your ISP my only allow 1 IP address behind it, Get a router set it to DHCP, put the out from your ISP to the internet/WAN of the router. Now the
