None of this helps. I should have mentioned that I tried uninstalling the Drive and the IDE channel in the device manager. It comes back the same.

I have two CD drives. IDE 1:0 and IDE 1:1. IDE 1:1 works fine, but IDE 1:0 won't mount the filesystem. It reads just fine in raw mode. CD copying programs and like programs can read it just fine. But Windows Explorer doesn't read it.

How do I make the server of my network (running XP pro) pass TCP or UDP ports to another computer on the network? (so that I can access other computers on my network besides the server from elsewhere)

How can I tell if my IDE cable is UDMA or 100 Mhz or 33 Mhz or whatever kinds there are?

Something I forgot to mention: At the same time that the mouse stopped working, in my windows device manager, COM3 (my modem) got a resource conflict (both port and IRQ) with COM1. This conflict was not there before.

I was messing with some port and IRQ settings in the CMOS and now nothing can detect my mouse. Windows (95) can't detect my mouse. I tried reinstalling Win95 but it didn't fix it. (I wasn't even able to use the mouse in the Win95 setup program.) If I boot up a Windows ME startup disk and try to...

...I mean logged on to the _network_. (Sorry)

That's what I was talking about when I said "when I try to setup Windows to be used by more than one user". When I do that, it takes the network logon name as the user name and doesn't let me put in a user name. How can I get it to let me put in a user name after I am logged on to the...

Just leave it on selective startup.

When I first installed my network, Windows 98 had a network logon dialog box and then a user logon dialog box. Somehow I got rid of the user logon box, but now I want it back. The problem is when I try to setup Windows to be used by more than one user, it takes the network logon name as the user...

Hmm.. I'm scared of TweakUI. Once it messed up my user account. I had to delete it and make a new one. I took a look at TweakUI (haven't tried it yet) and it looks like that feature is for the user logon to the domain, but I need something to logon to the network workgroup. Is there anything else?

Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Connections -> Always dial my default connection -> OK

I've seen some computers log on to the network automatically when they boot up. (They fill in the password automatically and push OK.) How can I make mine do that? I don't need it to put in a password, I just need it to push OK.)

Are you sure? Microsoft says that the older OS has to be installed first. (It's not that I don't trust you. It's just that, when the data on my harddrive is on the line, I need an answer that's a little more substantial.) Also, does the beginning of a Windows Me partition need be in the first 2...

For some reason, in WinXP, all of my icons, one day, changed to the old 8-bit icons from Win95. I don't know why. I'm in a 16-bit color mode. How can I change them back to the normal XP icons? (They only changed in one user account. The rest of the users have the new 16-bit color icons still.)
