Where am I supposed to go to tell WinXP not to ask me to enter a passw everytime I boot up? Thanks in advance, JDL

I am reinstalling WinXP over a partial install, and since I ignore whether the installation will replace every file found there I would feel better deleting the Windows directory before attempting a reinstall. Thanks in advance, JDL

This pc freezes while doing the memory test. I have already changed the memory and I keep getting the same results. I have checked the IDE cables (40pins, one cable for each IDE device, both devices at the end of the cable) and CDrom and HD jumpers and everything is as it should. I have also...

Can anyone please suggest a hardware specs extractor (or whatever they are called) other than Belarc Advisor? I have already ran B.Advisor but it cannot tell me a word about this odd graphics card I have installed, nor the modem :( Thanks in advance, JDL http://www.sunnylandbaja.com

This is the taughest case I've had so far. The 2 main problems are: 1. Many files cannot be copied during the copying-files part of the setup (right after running "winnt.exe" from the i386 folder (under DOS). 2. And when finally under a different attempt, it succeeds copying all files without...

In order to set my HD as master I am supposed to place the jumper in pin 5 to 6. Now how am I supposed to know which are pins 5 & 6 ?!!! Is that counting from upper left corner to upper right corner? thanks, JDL http://www.sunnylandbaja.com

Can anyone tell me why my only HD is not being found? I have already put a different one thinking the problem was the HD itself. Now it seems the problem may be with the cables or the motherboard, wouldn't it? Both HDs are totally accessable as slaves on another pc. Any ideas? Thanks, Jim...

At first I've got so excited about the tv-tuner that I didn't realize that I cannot listen to music from winamp unless I borrow the speakers from the tv-tuner. Could someone suggest a solution to having only one set of speakers and 2 sources: tv-tuner, and onboard sound. Thanks in advance...

Can someone please translate the following: "this utility helps change SiS IDE controller running from at PIO mode to at DMA mode under Win2000 without double restart the system." Am I even supposed to be interested in using it? Thank you, JDL http://www.sunnylandbaja.com

Is it an standard practice to install mobo & BIOS drivers when doing a clean OS install? This is something I always overlooked, so I normally just go ahead with the OS installation, and I won't bother with the MB & BIOS drivers unless something doesn't work later on. But it just ocurred to me...

I know, this one is like a very basic question, but I just rather ask than get into trouble ;) I just installed Win2k, the problem is that this pc doesn't have a video card. I never installed an OS in a pc w/out a video card, so I'm not sure how to proceed in order to improve the colors and...

How can I see info about the HD while in DOS? I am about to reinstall Windows, and this HD is supposed to be 30Gb, but according to Magic Partition & FDISK the HD is only 9.797Mb! I don't get it! How can this be? Thanks in advance, JDL http://www.sunnylandbaja.com

I had to install a TV-Tunner card without its drivers (long story). My question is: how can I get the Hardware Wizard to stop telling me to install the tv-tunner drivers. Thanks in advance, JDL http://www.sunnylandbaja.com

Does anyone know if there is a way of having the folders to show a preview of the selected file like Win2k does? I really miss that feature. If it's an image file one can see a thumbnail of that image to the left in a column along with other pertinent info. And if it's a sound file, one can...

I just installed the Hyperion (4 in 1) drivers for my KX400-8xV Pro motherboard (from Albatron) after over a year of suspecting of using the wrong drivers. The problem is that when rebooting Windows2k sp4 attempts to load, but it can only load up to 60% approx, it hangs right there. What can I...

A friend of mine upgraded to SP2, and ever since he can't connect to the internet nor his LAN. He is using a cable modem and a router. We know the problem is not with any of these devices as his roomate can connect just fine. One thing we noticed is that his connection (in the Network...

I just recently lost the data on my Visor (out of battery) while I was upgrading from Win2k to WinXP, fortunately I made restoration CDs while I was in Win2k so I was able to go back to Win2k (including the Palm Desktop applic). However, prior to that I did create a new account in the Visor when...
