  1. Someone with networking experience will need to explain "Blackhole Servers" and "Bootstrap Protocol" to you. To my limited networking knowledge this deals with DNS and MAC address issues. As to NetBios I do not allow it because of security issues. I have all ports associated with NetBios blocked. The Gateway Universal Boot Disk is the same as any other Win98 boot disk. I prefer using the Radified WinME boot disk (previously linked) to format the hard drive before reinstalling the OS. The WinME boot disk contains more CD-Rom drivers and allows formatting of hard drives greater than 64MB.
  2. Gateway uses a program called Go Back for restoring the PC. I'm not sure if it was used on the Win98 PCs but it may have.
  3. I use Radified's WinME bootdisk for formatting. Take a floppy and put it in your drive then go to My Computer and right click on the A: drive. Select Format. Do a Quick format then download the WinME bootdosk file to the floppy disk. Self-extracting WinME bootdisk (supports hard drives over 64GB)

  6. Have you tried unistalling then reinstalling Nero? Have you tried to update Nero? Did your version of Nero come with your other burner therefore it is proprietary? Windows XP CD Burning Secrets Can't Write To CD-RW Drive Check your ASPI layer. These describe the ASPI layer. Radified Guide to ASPI Drivers ForceASPI v1.7 Use these to check that your APSI layer is installed correctly. For version 4.60 aspi_chk.exe For version 4.71.2 aspichk_4712.exe
  7. Copped this from Chappy over to G4. You may not know that many non-living things have a gender. For example: 1) Ziploc Bags -- They are Male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them. 2) Copiers -- They are Female, because once turned off, it takes a while to warm them up again. It's an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are pushed. 3) Tire -- Male, because it goes bald and it's often over-inflated. 4) Hot Air Balloon -- Male, because, to get it to go anywhere, you have to light a fire under it and,
  8. Whenever I picture this I think of it being DutchBro or supyall from the old boards. I wish I knew enough German to go to the original site to ask if this idiot ever showed again.
  9. dadkins_1 sent me this. Must be this person watched too many of Kevin's "Dork Tips"! Dangerous Hacker!, Be careful, he might hack you, too...
  10. Every search engine keeps your online use recorded. Just type your user name or real name in any search engine and you will find many things you posted. If you aren't being subversive in trying to aid terrorism or enjoy kiddie porn why worry? If the government wanted to find out anything about you they would already know it. Anyone who is totally paranoid would be running Dban on their PCs every night after using it. I can speak from personal experience what it's like to disappear because of not wanting to be found by the feds. After I found out it's best to deal with your problems and behave
  11. Did you receive the recovery disks with the PC? If not you can get them from HP. What I have done with proprietary PCs that have WinXP Home on them is to buy the OEM WinXP Home disk and format the drives then installed the OS. You can then get the drivers for the PC from HP's site. They run so much better with out all of the added crap that HP or any other proprietary PC maker puts on the machines. Another thing is you can use the key for the machine and use the WinXP Home disk and it's key on another PC.
  12. You youngsters had it easy. In the real old days we had to hammer or hacksaw our way in. One brutal cold day standing in snow upto my armpits I met my first Master Lock. That 4 lbs. Ball Peen and 14tpi hacksaw were repeatedly refused access.
  13. I told flashh4 to just open them and then add to favorites pointing them to the folder he wanted. He could then delete the originals.
  14. Mostly what I've seen about Event ID: 45 relates to a printer queue problem. It occurs when trying to print from a guest or local account but not the admin account.
  15. Everything and anything sweet. Especially if it contains chocolate. Cabin in the country or house in the city preference?
  16. Any site that supplies me with the knowledge and/or friendship which I seek.
  17. Do you have a printer plugged in and have you had any problems with it lately?
  18. 1) Open IE 2) Goto Tools 3) Goto Internet Options 4) Goto Connections 5) Do you have anything listed under 'Dialup and VPN Connections'? I didn't. 6) Click Add 7) Add the connection as needed for your setup 8) Set proxy settings; dialup settings; and automatic config if needed 9) Click 'Never Dial a connection' when the wizard is complete 10) OK out of all the settings 11) Close all IE windows open 12) Reopen IE Subject: 'work offline' error box If that doesn't work read this about changing the registry. Read the whole discussion. Work Offline box appears
  19. I take the gas prices in stride. If you look at the price of a gallon of milk compared to 30 years ago and now do the same to gas you would see that gas is the better bargain. The only way to rein in gas prices is to build more refineries. There is plenty of oil just sitting at the docks and out to sea waiting to be off loaded but without the capability to process it and the demand being so high the prices will continue to increase. I believe the price will hit a $2.50 average and stay there for quite some time. I try to limit my usage by not making unnecessary trips. If I need a few items at
  20. I had to set the modem to port forward TCP 6666-6667.
