There is no XP Home forum here, so I figured this forum is the closest match. Situation: XP home machine is part of a peer to peer network. It needs to print from a dos program to a printer shared on another machine. I have been using: net use lpt1 \\Server\HP /persistent:yes Unfortunately...

donk, Go into disk manager. If you cannot see the additional unallocated space on the new physical disks, refer to my first response. The more I learn, the more I know I don't know enough. <order>chicken w/garlic sauce combo</order> For those about to rock, we salute you. NO DISASSEMBLE!

Did you try using a shorter cable yet? Did you try sharing it from another computer to see if it exhibits the same problems? The more I learn, the more I know I don't know enough. <order>chicken w/garlic sauce combo</order> For those about to rock, we salute you. NO DISASSEMBLE!

make sure you have a free AGP or PCI slot for the new video card, then read some reviews for video cards at an online vendor that sells computer parts, and lets buyers leave reviews. No better way to make a decision than to read what people have to say about the product you are considering. The...

I have noticed a little bug in Windows where sometimes the sound somehow gets reversed; for example if you look at the checkbox on the volume where it says "mute" it may be clear, but the computer thinks it's set to mute. Sometimes simply checking that box, clicking on the desktop, then...

I agree with wolluf..set the drive as a slave to another bootable drive, and copy your important data NOW. Then do what you gotta do...perhaps reinstall Win98...that used to be a weekly ritual around my house! The more I learn, the more I know I don't know enough. <order>chicken w/garlic sauce...

What do you mean "it won't let me" reinstall Windows 98? In time I spent with Windows 98, I found that reinstalling was usually quicker than trying to pinpoint some obscure problem (although the challenge of bailing yet another flopped Windows 98 installation out of trouble is fun...for a...

Not sure what firewall software you are using, but not all of them allow networking by default. If you are unsure about what a process is, you can do a google search and you will soon learn what those processes are, and that they are to be expected. And as far as your firewall is concerned...

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I believe that partitions/drives larger than 137 GB require Windows 2000 SP3 or higher,XP SP1 or higher, or an ATA 133 card... The more I learn, the more I know I don't know enough. <order>chicken w/garlic sauce combo</order> For those about to rock, we salute...

Zmr, Thanks alot for that! The resolution apparently is a simple update to the Jet database engine. So I guess I can use the autonumber for my recognition, but thanks to you, I won't have the problem described. The more I learn, the more I know I don't know enough. <order>chicken w/garlic...

This might sound silly, but are you sure the "integrated lan" in the BIOS is enabled? I can't see any reason why Windows wouldn't even detect it unless it was completely disabled in the BIOS. You don't need drivers for Windows to at least know it's there. If it was detected at all but didn't...

Zmr, I use Access 2003, but OK, thanks for the tip, i'll look that up to see what the problem is with it... I'll see what I can combine to create a unique id. The more I learn, the more I know I don't know enough. <order>chicken w/garlic sauce combo</order> For those about to rock, we salute...
