Wiping HDD to go with the copy of ME I have. How can I remove the\some scratches from the 2 Recovery CDs. No DiskDR, or anything like that.

When these files come to copy sys hangs. Even tried to unzip these files on my

  11. In the bios make cd rom boot first. If fdisk/format has been done, you could remove the floppy then reboot. I had problems with making bootdisk last night, possible problem with the floppy I tried to use. M
  12. Noted... Will have him dbl check some settings this am then call ISP. About a year ago they "upgraded" the service, after a week or two all customers were back online. M
  13. ~~tipping hat to mark~~ Happy birthdat
  14. I don't want to discourage you, BUT...look for some independant news sources. Of course you can read everything and form your own opinion. I'm not saying you can't see beyond the printed word. Main stream media is not high on my list. M
  15. ISP is a local that closes @ 5. No tech support untill about 8 am. Nothing was changed, as far as I can get. I would not figure that A/V, firewall would not allow connection al of a sudden. M ~~Edit~~ If anyone has a set of Recovery CDs for a 'Paq Presario 5700T Would help me out with another machine. Yeah I know...just thought I would try to get a set teleported to me. M
  16. I had a call from brother-in-law. XP don't remember if he has pro/home. Prolly not updates as he is on dial-up. Getting error message that Outlook cannot connect to server. Checked tools/email accounts... user name,password,in/out mail appear correct. Has not said any changes were made, unless the OL did something and is not saying. Uses this machine as a work machine primary, home secondary. This is about as much info that I have at present, yeah Like I remembered the error message number. I'll walk him through the webmail so he can check it that way, 'till I can get Outlook working. I'll b
  17. It is a conspiracy...really...no really. Bill Gates is investing in OTC pain relievers, stock went down, SP2 came out, stock back up. M
  18. I seem to remember a delete prefetch/pagefile command. I can't find it in my notes. Remember warnings that it would sslow the sys if it was applied too often. M www.tweakxp.com has lots of tweaks
  19. I can't even log in anymore. I feel my machine knows that is not the place for me. I'm not missing anything. When the switch took place I tried to get the "feel" of the place. It just didn't go. I prolly have 1-2 thousand hits to B's site before the boards were up, just looking for a place to call home. ~Pinned threads~ They are useful if there are used. It appears those are taking us space. ~~Mods There are a few mods there from CFH. I'm sorry I put a vote in to have them as a mod. I really do apoligize guys. (They know who they are.) What is needed there is a nanny. They have so many thread
  20. Thing to do is to find what happened so it can be prevented in the future. Here are some utilities from a good site. I can't comment on how good any of these are. They are shareware or freeware so no money lost. M
  21. Basic things you would want on your machine as soon as it is back up and running. Somethings for me would not be for you. IM, P2P programs and such. But basiclly (sp) that is what you want. It took me about three (well alot more that that, I'm stubborn) installs before I did a fresh install with just my esentials, then burned image to cd and a back up to a second physical HDD. Now I load "crap" after that. Like Joe friday said: Just the Facts... M
  22. I use the "back Up" util in xp pro. Sofar it work ok, make doubles of folders if I don't pay attention. Also I have this backing to a second HDD, just incase some happens to the drive itself. Have antivirus looking into backup, compressed, and sys restore. That paranoid security thing. This back up util can run when any file is changed, as most other prog can be configured to do this. Dailey, Incremental, Differential back up. Can't explain these in detail at present, fog on the brain. What OS are you running. M
  23. My thing with Dallas it that I don't think you could buy everything. Salary caps are good. M
  24. Being from louisiana I might have taken offense,if I didn't feel the same way. Go Cheese Heads Jack'ville Jaquars Colts any one but DallASS. M
