Thanks for the suggestion, tgreer. I don't know if that will work, but it sounds like it just might. I didn't even know about the adobe knowledge base...DUUUHHH! Thanks for the help. Email me! dsaunders114@yahoo.com Real men pray...especially techies!

This is a new Vaio laptop running XP Home and using Adobe Pagemaker 4.5 and Acrobat. We have Distiller 4.0 and 5.0 installed. When trying to print in Pagemaker the error is "cannot locate postscript printer driver". When trying to print in MS Word the error is "cannot locate Distiller printer...

OK, thanks ANFPS26 for the article. There was a link within that article that led to the revelation that Intel i845-based boards (which this Dell has) will ONLY support 1.5volt AGP cards, so my conclusion is that this ATi card must require 3.3volts. Oh well! Seems there is more to finding a...

I have a number of AGP cards available, but several will not fit in the slot of this Dimension4300 (hmmm?) The machine's specs show it has 4x agp. Is there a slot type difference that prevents certain card types from being used? The card I really want to use is an ATi Rage 128 32mb (great...

Sure, I have thought of it. Why should we have to tear apart machines just to install XP? I have had two installs end up in the hosed bin because of this "enumeration difficulty". Techs should really not have to be required to remove mounted hardware in order for the system to...

Thanks, Linney. This machine is not at my disposal to check, but I will try let you know if it resolves. On a more general note about XP, though, I have been experiencing more and more stupid hardware conflicts lately. They always seem to revolve around USB or ZIP devices being attached. For...

I have just installed a brand new HD and XPpro. Everything is fine but one strange behavior: the first time you open My Computer to explore the system it goes into what I think is an indexing mode. The "flashlight of uncertainty" shows up on the screen while it appears to be rebuilding...

After the installation of a certain demo software I tried to run it (with the cd in the cdrom as is necessary) and I got the following error: "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk1\DR1." This machine is running Win2000pro and the hardware is...

I am trying to install a demo version of a medical instruction software. After the installation I tried to run it (with the cd in the cdrom as is necessary) and I got the following error: "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk1\DR1." This...

Yes, I believe it does! Thanks for the tip! Email me! dsaunders114@yahoo.com Real men pray...especially techies!

Does anyone have advice about AOL compatibility with pop-up stoppers? The built-in AOL defense isn't doing the job it is supposed to, and the IE ad blocker I installed doesn't seem to have any effect. I haven't used AOL for over five years now, so I don't know what their issues are nowadays...

On a related topic I have a question for all those who have been kind enough to help: My brother-in-law and I managed to set up sharing on the drive of my powermacG3 (running OS 9.2) I was able to browse the drive from one of my networked PCs no problem. Once we had been thorough in the sharing...

I am not sure what you are asking. I have tried using the same user name and password as on the PC, having changed the owner name and password in the Mac to match. I have tried accessing the Mac with several different owner names and passwords that I have set up in the file sharing on the Mac...
