It turns out that they had attached a camera and a scanner, but had not installed the drivers. I started unplugging things to swap out the nic but realized that I needed to install those drivers first, so I reconnected everything, and restarted the machine. The new hardware installation routines...

I am going to have to ask them to run it and email me the log. Thanks heaps and when I have more info I will post it. Thanks. Monty Palmer President Paltechs www.paltechs.com

Hello All- A client has a win2k SP4 box that connects wirelessly using a Linksys WMP55AG card to a Linksys WRT54G. I have scanned the box with Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware, HijackThis, and AVG. I have emptied all temp directories and caches. I used RegTweak to address registry inconsistencies, and have...

Hey linney, The machine is simple XP Home so last article from MS will not work. Also, I have tried to access the key as a user with admin rights, and as the default admin account in safe mode with the same upleasant results. Looks like I am going to have to try SubInAcl. One question...

Thanks linney I will read through this stuff and let you know what happens. Cheers! Monty Palmer President Paltechs www.paltechs.com

Hello all- I have an XP SP1 machine that I am trying to upgrade to SP2. However, when the update runs, it encounters 15-20 registry keys that it cannot backup. When I manually go into regedit, as soon as I click on the key it gives me an error saying that it cannot open the key because I do...

Yeah I went to Sony, and downloaded everything that seemed appropriate. Nothing helped. In the device manager the Linksys, the Realtek RTL8139, the 1394 net adapter, the direct parallel, the wan miniport packet scheduler miniport, the wan miniport PPTP and PPPOE are all listed as unknown, with...

Hey all, I am sure that I am overlooking something here, but a client wanted me to install XP Pro on a Vaio that was running Me. I downloaded the realtek drivers for XP, but the device manager says that the driver cannot be loaded. Tried the same thing with Linksys WUSB54G USB adapter...

Hey all, Read about the UBCD4 in another group and wanted to know your experiences with it. The one thing that I found intriguing is that, unlike knoppix, it can write/delete ntfs. Any thoughts or comments? Thanks heaps. Monty Palmer President Paltechs www.paltechs.com

Thanks jimp56, but I already uninstalled The Broadjump Client garbage, and there was not anything else that was added to the uninstall list. The install routine said it could not see the modem which is why I aborted the install. Need to reset the router becuase it is set to work as a bridge...

will also run successfully in safe mode. Every time I get an error, it is telling me that the instruction at one memory location referenced memory at the same location. Please any help, or am I being ignored for recommending knoppix when it was no help at all? Monty Palmer President Paltechs...

ran chkdsk /r and then restarted the machine. Getting an error : "The instruction at 0x00b414ba referenced memory at 0x00b414ba. The memory could not be written". OK to terminate, cancel to debug. Any ideas? Thanks! Monty Palmer President Paltechs www.paltechs.com

I was using the SBCYahoo install CD, but after the installation windows loads, but then explorer.exe stops running. I can load apps using the task manager, but cannot get to the restore functionality. I used "last good configuration" and am still getting the same result, the desktop loads, the...

Suncity, I have been going through this hoping I could put some steps together for you and unfortunately it looks like the best you are going to do is be able to do in Knoppix is open them to see what they are. Knoppix can no longer write/delete to NTFS. I checked my Oreilly Knoppix hacks and...

what does it mean specifically when you say that you cannot reinstall? What are the messages/errors that you are getting? Did you back up the registry before you deleted entried? No, neither do I. Need more detailed information about what is happening that prevents you from loading your...
