Thanks for the response. Any settings changed on any of the configuration menus inside the router will "auto" reboot the router the way they should to save settings. When trying to set the wireless security menu with the WEP key etc., when I click on the apply button nothing happens (a dotted...

I've configured a wireless access point in an existing wired network using a DI-524 wireless router. I have DHCP disabled on the DI-524 and am using a Linksys RT31P2 for the wired network. Everything works except being able to secure the WAP. When I go to configure the DI-524 and try to enable...

Thanks for the help. That did the trick.

I'm running XP pro with SP-1 and all critical updates. I noticed today that XP will no longer open or create ZIP files. Sending files to a "compressed (zipped) folder" does nothing and creates no kind of error message. Using "extract all" opens the wizard but creates an error message that there...

Thanks, everybody. The CD image was very small (less that 1.44 meg). The floppy replacement for the laptop was a little too steep for me, so I just bought an external USB floppy for less that half what the HP unit would have cost. Problem fixed.

No, I'm not using "Go-Back". The combo drive is listed in device manager as a QSI CDRW/DVD SBW-241. The problem is only related to getting the latptop to boot from a bootable CD. It will boot to several burned bootable CD's that I have around; Windows, Linux, Emergency Boot Disk, etc.

I can get into bios with no problem, and all the settings look good. Nothing is disabled as far as boot. There is no PW set. There are three symbols, the one in the middle resembles a heart, and the other two perhaps foreign looking symbols.

I'm trying to boot PC DOS in order to run ghost and image the hard drive on the laptop that has the broken floppy drive. Getting the image to the external drive isn't the problem. It's getting it restored. I need a bootable CD in order to boot ghost and access the image on the external drive.

I'm trying to image the hard drive from a HP ZE5170 laptop that has been dropped and has a broken floppy drive. The laptop has a combination CD-RW/DVD drive. I created a floppy emulated bootable CD to start Ghost. When I try to boot the laptop I get three strange symbols that stay on the screen...

bcastner, I had already read this Knowledge Base article, and the first suggestion to resolve the problem is to format the disk. However, any of the disks that can't be read in my computer also refuse to be formatted. As far as the workaround, I don't think I'd want my wife or kids trying it...

This problem is affecting 3 of 4 my computers running XP pro with SP-1. I can insert a floppy disk and it isn't recognized as being formatted; and if given the option to format, the formatting fails. This occurs with new formatted disks as well as with known good disks. Sometimes, for whatever...

Thanks, smah. The inline setting fixed everything. I thought by default that it was checked. I've never had to go in and change it in order for it to work before. There seems to be something that's changed some settings. Gif images aren't loading now either, but that's another thread. Thanks again.

My ctrl+enter keyboard shortcut no longer works. Now it simply performs a search. I haven't changed any settings that I'm aware of. After it quit working, I did go into the advanced settings of IE and reset to default settings, but that didn't fix the problem. I know it's probably something...

mainegeek, I had already removed hard drives from the system as well as all PCI cards, but failed to mention it. I tried moving the memory to different slots as well. I'm using a Antec 500 watt True Power PS. I think as GOAOZ said....it's a toss up between the CPU and motherboard. But given my...
