Try making an ISO of the CD (ignore read errors), then burn it back to a new CD. Sometimes the CRC checks are superficial and are preventing an install, but not a copy.

This may not work if the...

The only real concern I would have is the Windows Genuine Advantage detecting two separate installs when you try to update each of them. I admit I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to...

You really should post this as a new thread, but since you have already posted, amy b, you appear to be having a different problem than the OP. Try clearing your internet cache in IE and...

You could try a Windows Restore Point from Command Prompt:

If that does not work and if the HDD is still in full working condition, you would need a way...

The Win98 CD check is actually looking for a random file from a large list of files on a Windows 98 CD. Short of having the media, I don't think there is a way to slipstream an install.

Any...

That seems awfully big for a DLL. The only ones I can find by using Google are less than 10 MB. If you know the exact version of the dll, you might be able to find it in an online file repository. ...

If you can get it to recognize in the BIOS it is possible. You can try the HDD to USB converter and see if you can plug it in like you would a flash memory device.

I only recommend the HDD to USB...

option 1:

Change the password for the user account you do not want to be able to access the share. As long as the share is not set to allow EVERYONE, that user's authentication will fail against...

Did you break the case by accidentally dropping it? Might have also broken the drive...

You can try a test by removing your current HDD and CD and only plugging in your 1TB drive. Try each SATA...

If the BIOS cannot see the HDD, it will not be able to boot from it. Unfortunately, if the BIOS does not see the drive, there is no diagnostic tool that I know of that can detect or repair and...

You can tell outlook NOT to use Word as your email editor. That will hopefully eliminate the error message.

Just to be sure, do you have anything that can test to see if the battery is good? I've bought brand new dead batteries from Radio Shack before, so it's either more common that you would think or I...

Well, depending on how much data is on it, there is always the copy everything off, format and copy everything back...

The chkdsk thing should work, but it's strange that it is not letting you.

Cool, glad to hear you got it working. The resolution problem is one I have never seen before actually. I'm not sure where to have you check. Update video card drivers perhaps?

It's a stretch, but try this tool:

Ok, so it is giving you a second monitor to work with. There may be a few things you can do depending on your pc layout.

On my old DELL laptop, I have a blue text above several keys. There is a...

If you are careful, you could unhook the HDD from the chasis and then power up the machine, just don't drop the drive. :)

You should be able to clearly feel the vibration at that point which...

Try this:

Close all open programs.
CTRL-ALT-DELETE and open task manager.
Close EXPLORER.EXE
Go to FILE and choose RUN.
Type CMD to open a command prompt
Then from the C:>_ change to the...

...still looking. You already tried a reboot.

Is the computer older than 3 years?

If the windows setup does not recognize the HDD, it sounds like the BIOS doesn't see it either. Some older BIOS require that you run an auto-detect on the HDD...

If that software doesn't work, you can also try GPARTED. It's an open source project you can download from Sourceforge:

When you say the blank green XP screen, do you mean it's green just like your desktop is, or just green?

What I meant by multi-monitoring is that if you open something in a window (so that you can...

Sounds like it's multi-monitoring. Open something and see if you can drag that window off to the right or left of the screen.

I don't remember if Windows natively supports dragging and dropping files to DVD RW. That might be a feature of a burning software that is installed on your machine.

To store files on a DVD RW,...

Yes, the problem most likely stems from the partitions that you installed on. The Microsoft supported process for dual booting is:

Primary Partition on HDD 0 (first hard drive) ( c: ) install...

A bit more complicated than I would ever need to get with a batch program, but point well taken. :)

You can add only 1 pause at the end of the file to get the results too. :) An IF THEN ELSE will only display one result so stopping at each point is more code than you need.

My question to the...

Assuming that the new power supply and motherboard are both working, try to remove all peripheral devices and see if the machine powers on.

All devices being floppy, CDROM, HDD, any USB devices,...

Does the fan come on or just the light?

It sounds like a bad motherboard. Check to see if you have any broken or leaking capacitors. If you aren't familiar with what they look like, they are...

Even if you hide the file extensions, the batch file should work. The code that you have is working for me and I cannot duplicate the problem you are having.

Are you saying that if you uncheck...

You are very welcome. :)

Gotta love computers. If at first it doesn't work, keep pressing the button until it does. :P

Assuming the HDD has no problems (no bad sectors, etc), if you first remove all the existing partitions (including any OEM service partitions that DELL and HP install on their machines), you should...

Most cable or DSL internet providers will only allow 1 PC online at a time. The first PC to claim the internet connection gets it and another PC cannot use the connection unless that connection...

What server is outlook connecting to? Is the password change on a specific date or after a specific amount of time?

I'm not sure I would do any of the other tweaks, but that Flashblock extension sounds really cool. I'll have to check that out, thanks!

I'll add it to my already in use NoScript and AdBlockPlus...

Normally, I pass by tweak posts, but this one is misleading. I would recommend renaming your post closer to what the content describes: How to save on disk space if your PC is being run from a...

How many users are we talking?

Is the problem always on the same machine?

What if the users experiencing the problem log into a machine they have never logged into before?

What you should use is a proxy server or firewall that can block or allow by IP. The HOSTS file is for resolving FQDNs to IPs, like a DNS server would.

However, what you can do, if you know for...
