Thanks for the response, Beowulf. The ISP is a local provider in Johnstown, PA. My machine's running Outlook XP. There are no error messages per se. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, jpger

Hello all, I just switched from dial up to DSL. I am using Outlook to download my email. I have been unable to set up my new DSL email through Outlook. Any suggestions? Thanks, jpger

Who do you use for your ISP? I've had a similar problem that ended up being an issue with my ISP.

Hello all, My Toshiba Satellite 1805-S203 notebook at work has an annoying problem; if I walk away from it for awhile, it goes into standby, then the LCD shuts off to conserve power. Sometimes when I come back to work on it again, it becomes unresponsive to keystrokes and the screens slowly...

I suspect it may either be a bad power supply or a bad bus on the mobo. Do you see anything on the display?? You mentioned you're getting LED lights on the CD drives. If the display starts detecting drives and memory, your BIOS should be fine. I agree w/rockerfellerz. Power supply's a...

Cat5 or Cat5e will suffice for the connecting your router to your PC. The main difference between 5 and 5e is the maximum transmission speed of Cat5 is 100 Mbps, while Cat5e is 1 Gbps. Cat6 is used for Gigabit Ethernet, but unless your router is capable of transmitting that fast, you won't...

mccall you rock! Although the KB article listed a different key from what I had, deleting it worked like a champ. Hopefully itsgoodtobeking will check his thread so he can get back on track as well. Many thanks

Well I finally got a chance to try my luck with the jumpers. Both were on CS so I put the CD on MA & the ZIP on SL. That was all it was! Glad to find out it was something simple. Thanks to Cindy1 & mccall. BTW, do you have any input on these two threads? thread68-761331 thread68-754045...

Does the BIOS contain any Advanced Power Mgmt options? The board should have that feature in BIOS

Cleaned up startup and ran msconfig. There was an entry in the startup that I removed, but the real culprit was an entry in Device Manager. Under disk drives was my HDD and my printer! Clearly something got mixed up when my sister plugged in her Flash drive. Thanks koala15 & micker377. Case...

I've seen an earlier post where cleaning the rollers and taking a small file or something to them to score the surface (effectively giving them "grips") alleviates the worn-out roller problem, but having never tried it myself I don't know if it will work.

I've seen systems that utilize a mainframe/dummy terminal topology w/CAT5 as the video feed to the dummy terminals. So it's feasible, but not too sure how to implement this system in other ways

What are the specs on the 1 PC that doesn't auto shut-off?

Hi all, Got a Vaio laptop (2 yrs) that's running Win2K. Periodically a window pops up stating that it's going to update product drivers. If left unchecked, it reveals that it's installing "HP Photo & Imaging 1.0 - HP PSC - HP OfficeJet". This didn't occur 'til my sister plugged in...
