I have no good idea as to where to post this, but this area looked pretty good. I want to ask if anyone here knows how to put a transparent mark on a high res scan. Maybe you have seen some of the scans i am talking about. They are usually very high quality and in one of the corners there will...

Well, like my daddy used to say, "If that dont beat a hen rooting in a rock pile." I hooked up a new cdrom drive to the ide on the motherboard and it is fine now . I thought i had tryed it before, but i guess not. The cables had me fooled. They are regular ide cables so i just ASSUMED...

I have an older Packard Bell 166 system with the cd rom drive attached to the sound card. Problem is, i cant access the cd rom with a boot disk. i have upgraded this system from win95 to win98 and made a start disk. I still can get to the cdrom drive. I have tryed hooking the cd as a slave with...

Hi all, I am working on an older pb multimedia 415. Problem is i cant get any ram to work in it. From what i can find out, it has a FM530 motherboard that should support 128 meg of ram. A spec sheet i found on the net says "standard ram". I have tryed several different combos and cant...

I just want to thank everyone for the help. I can always count on this forum for the right answers. I think i finally found what was wrong. I dissabled a network card and now it will boot in about 40 seconds. I really dont see what clearing the bios had to do with the network card. There is...

Thanks for the reply, I set the bios to default and then checked thru it. There is no place in bios to set the cache for any of those things. I notice on the info screen as it boots up that it says there is no cache moeory or and no l2 cache. It is kind of like part of the bios is not showing...

I have tryed all this and nothing has helped at all. It looks like i may have to format and load evenything again. I even tryed reloading windows and ie5.5 and it is still the same as it was. i also ran into another problem that has come up the last few days. some of my .exe files that i have...

I have this same problem in IE6.0. I have tryed everything listed in this thread and the problem is still there. Everytime i try to type something in a box, it will freeze up for a few seconds and then go. The autocomplete does not work either. I have unchecked and checked all the boxes in the...
