Which just goes to show how bogus web benching sites are. Results can vary wildly.

It's like those sites which are supposed to test your bandwidth. One day, in sucessive tests, my connection was...

I used to work at CompUSA and the tech shop paperwork was printed on Epson LQ dot matrix printers. The printers were controlled by a print server running NT. Perhaps the WinNT drivers might work...

I ran into this bug recently and it made me crazy until I found the MSKB article shown here.

I avoided tying up the extra disk space by using my usual rule when installing MSO2k. That is, I make...

Can wildcards be used in OE Message Rules?

I know you can enter an entire domain as a parameter in a filter, such as @microsoft.com. Is it possible to use a wildcard in part of a domain, say...

jimvan's right. You do not want to run the NSW that you installed under XP on the 98 partition and vice versa. If you do you can screw things up royally because NSW's setup will install different...

Archive the directory and subdirectories to a zip file using a utility like WinZip or Ontrack Powerdesk. Select the options to include subdirectories, but not to store paths. Then unzip the archive...

Heh...actually text isn't always text; at least not the same text. Notice Wordpad can open and save as Text (Windows so-called ANSI text format), MS-DOS text (plain text), and Unicode text. It used...

Keely,
i4004, I'm trying to confirm that the W2K CD files are where I think they are. I had used the i386winnt command to copy the files from D:w2ksetup to c:. It doesn't appear that was true file...

1) This is really a matter of taste. I prefer Nero over ECCD. In the retail boxed version, ECCD comes with CD Spin Doctor which is a very functional app for transcribing LP's, tapes, and other...

Oh, man. That's the thing about upgrades. Sometimes they work great. Sometimes they're hairpullers.

ATI will get things straight, eventually.

FYI, I tried the GetDataBack software in its non-registered state. I was amazed to discover not only was it able to reconstruct the directory structure, but made access available to every file...

Assuming you have each OS on seperate partitions, you might run msconfig to see what's loading upon startup. It may be that one of those is the culprit. If that's the case, you might see if there's...

Here's a brief rundown on my system before I start:
WinXP Pro
Norton Systemworks 2002

I have a Linksys 4-port that does this (there's also a button on the case). The one I have works well, but it's designed to be placed out of sight as the jacks are on three sides.

Yeah, Plextor is good. I have a Plextor 12x10x32 in one box, and a Lite-On 12x10x32 in another. The Lite-On performs almost as well as the Plextor for a lot less money.

You have mail!

My scanner was the EasyPhoto ImageWave flatbed. I don't have the scanner anymore, but should have the CD still. PM or email your snail mail address and I'll send it to youse if...

This was a clean install, or an upgrade? I've heard tales of some pretty weird behavior when installing XP in upgrade mode.

I installed Nero 5.0.something and it worked fine. The 5.5.6.4 update works just fine, too.

I seem to recall there was a problem when having both Nero and another CD writing package installed n...

<hr>I've always preferred to install Windows from the hard drive if there is enough space. <hr>

I'd have to agree there, for all the reasons we both posted. All the boxes I've had Win3.x or 9x...

<img src=/S/smile.gif border=0 alt=smile width=15 height=15> Cool! I'm so glad that worked, Keely. Well, I'll keep that one in mind in case I have to do that myself.

The black scans in two color mode was a bug in the included drivers. Heh...the original CD that came with my old Storm scanner was formatted as an audio CD. The new CD they sent had the black scan...

You might check if the Hotburn packet writing software has an update. Maybe there's a bug in th eversion you're using. Or you might simply disable the packet writing feature, or uninstall/reinstall...

Yeah, don't spend too much on a CD-RW drive since DVD-RW drives are poised to start falling in price.

Look for a good deal on a 12x10x32 or 16x10x32(or 40) rated drive, say $90 or less. If the...
