You may have already found the solution to your question, but in case you haven't, I will offer this advise. My system boots between Linux, Win. 98, and Win 2000 perfesional. I have two hard drives. The secret...Linux and Win 2k both have boot loading utilities that will give you the option...

You may want to try the "safe mode" install. This will cause a little more work for you, becasue you will have to manually pick out your hardware. But the install may be more stable. It seems that when the lizard probes for hardware, one runs into the risk of the system hanging (or...

Funny, I just tried to install Lycoris(Redmond) last night and I ran into the exact same problem. I finally got the install to work, however. When the part of the install came up for managing the partitions, I selected the "for experts" partition management feature rather than letting...

Thanks for the reply. I ran across this situation again since I posted the question. I didn't notice any conflicts on any devices, but I will pay special attention to what you suggested about the serial port. As for uninstalling the modem....I thought of that this time and tried it. I tried the...

Hello, this is Tpex and I do tech support for an ISP. With DSL, you won't use the dial up adapter, but it won't hurt to keep it in the Network icon of your control panel, ESPECIALLY if you have Windows ME. A dial up adapter is a component on your computer that allows you to use a modem or ISDN...
