thanks. I use Earthlink and I'm pretty sure that they do, but I'll check it out. Although, it looks like a V.92 will cost 2x as much as a V.90, so i may just stick with the V.90.

Hey, does anyone know about the compatibility of a 56K V.92 modem? I have a 3 year old custom built PC with a P3 550 running WinXP Pro. My 56K V.90 modem just crapped out and need to purchase a new one. I've heard about the relatively new V.92 modems but I'm not sure if they would be...

I'm using 2K. I haven't yet had a chance to check that site, but thank you.

I wanted to create a few batch files to auto-start numerous programs. I can't rememer some of the commands i need to customize these scripts to my liking. Does anyone know of any good websites that I could check out? Also, Does anyone know the command to close the command window after the...

I haven't tried that method. The machine is at my house and I'm at work, so I won't be able to try that untill I get home tonight. I should've tried that last night. Thanks for your help, I'll let you know how it works out.

But if the drive was dead, why would the bios in my XP machine recognize it?

Jumpers are correct and IDE were correct. I'm having trouble understanding why my bios would pick up on the drive but WinXP wouldn't. I would think that even if the HD wasn't compatible with XP that XP would still pick up on it. I'm confused. Just to clarify - because I haven't done this in...

I want to install a new Hard drive into a machine that I'm rebuilding. To format the new drive, i decided to put it into my existing Win XP Pro machine because I figured that XP would automatically pick it up so that I could format the drive in computer management. This process has worked for...

Just a thought, but make sure that you have the latest antivirus updates downlaoded and installed. i've worked with many people whose PC's have had symptoms of a virus but its users swear they don't have a virus because they ran Norton and it didn't detect any viruses. I'll then check to see...

Yeah, that's what I figured. Thanks for everyone's help.

I should also note that I put the "faulty" HD in my Win XP machine and XP did not recognize the drive.

I checked my bios settings already, and I did an auto check on the HD but it still did not recognize it. I'm not familiar with the cmos battery. Where is it located?

i know that's the easiest way to determine the memory, but i don't have a pc that will run the edo. About a year ago I worked on a pc with edo memory. I added more memory and have these two sticks of edo left over. I wanted to sell this memory but obviously i need to figure out how much it is...

Is there any way to determine the amount(in megabytes) of memory just by viewing the stick? I know you can tell what type of memory, but I need to figure out how much memory it is. I don't have a pc that can put this type of memory into to check. If it helps the stick of memory i have is...

I recently rebuilt a P2 450 with Windows 2K. I added a new cd-rom drive, too. I was going to add more memory, too, so I took out the existing RAM to see what type I needed to buy. After I reinstalled the RAM, I was having trouble with the video card- it wasn't recognizing the card. It turned...
