Have you released and renewed the IP after reconnection? Does device mangler show any yellow ! marks? You could boot to safe mode, remove all...
Take note of said file, copy it somewhere safe.
Stuff that only shows up in Safe Mode, is stuff that's been there, and is now gone. They're all safe to remove. If you find that DX is messed (it...
I'll try and explain it simply. To avoid drive letter confusion, I'll use Partition 1, Partition 2, and Partition 3. 1.) Run Fdisk, make 3...
Heh, that's a round about way of saying if one drive screws up, you can boot to the other and clone. The answer is yes, doesn't matter which one...
I guess it was too much for you to read. It's got nothing to do with if YOU have a new drive or not. I realize that he first mentions a new...

Here I always thought that "manual" was that guy on the assembly line that built my motherboard :rolleyes: :D
Upgrade still allows for a clean install. During the install process, you will be prompted to put in your windows 98/2k disk to prove that you...
Usually to get into BIOS, you tap the DEL key as the system is booting up. Set first device to CD_ROM, second device to HDD-0. Make sure you hit...
LOL, ok, I'll agree to stop calling it **** ;) Sure, I do, all the time! :D My point exactly. The user has to learn somewhere, and nowhere does...
Bill, I admit readily that XP is not for everyone. Most users that are happy with 98 have stuck with it, and are still using it, or have gone...
Heh... Don't get me started on McAfee! ;) What's different is the amount of room it takes up, and the hoops one has to jump through to remove it,...
