    I run XP Home (came with the HP laptop, can't justify the upgrade to Pro)...very mixed feelings about it. Anyway, that's another rant... I have Roxio's GoBack...the basic version that comes with Norton Systemworks 2002. I have used it a few times (successfully). I have a 10Gig hard drive and...

    Re-Connect to ISP problem

    I'm on XP Home and have recently begun to have a wierd problem. I'll be dialed into my ISP and sometimes if I let my connection timeout, when I redial it goes through the connection gyrations and then says it can't connect. I'll pay more attention next time but I believe the error is...

    XP HE to Win98SE password question

    I have a big ol' 2-computer network going here! I have a desktop box running Win98SE and a laptop running XP HE and a cross-over cable running between the two. I ran the network setup wizard on the XP box and ran the setup wizard via the created disk on the 98 box. The two connect seamlessly...

    XP HE CD for OEM pre-install

    I'm an XP newbie. Just got it because I got a new laptop from HP with it pre-installed. I can't fathom being able to live long-term with an MS OS withOUT having a CD of the OS for periodic re-installs on top of the current system to fix minor things. Of course, HP only gives me...

    How to extract data from laptop hdd

    I have dealt with HDD's in desktop machines and feel competent enough in that area to swap HDD's in and out. A friend of mine, however, has a dead laptop machine (that he's already replaced). He wants the data from his dead machine (cracked motherboard...won't even power on) and has given it...

    Zip Parallel Drive Causes Reboot

    I have a Zip 100 Parallel Drive. If I access something on the Zip drive right after a fresh re-boot all is well and works as expected. I can even do some some simultaneous printing and Zip access. BUT...if I've been on the computer for a little while (even without any printing) and then put a...

    Vcore Voltage Warning - What is it?

    I admit it...I'm a software guy and pretty green when it comes to hardware. My machine is a PIII 600Mhz running on an ASUS CUC2000 motherboard. Recently, the Hardware Monitor in the BIOS at bootup time has been stopping saying that there is a problem and that I should go into the BIOS setup...

    Outlook 97/98 accessing floppy drive incessantly

    On one of the computers in our office, I've had a situation where both Outlook 97 and 98 repeatedly read the floppy drive even though no PST files are stored there nor is there a disk in the drive. I'm not sure what Outlook is after and it's quite annoying. Any thoughts from those of you who...
