I know this is a techie joint, and I love it, but you folks have meted out much wisdom in this thread; nice to be in your company. BuddyB :)

I'm working on this computer for a friend. It's dead in the water; won't turn on. I bought a new power supply hoping the simplest fix would be the answer, but no, no life. So, the next thing to check will be the RAM, then the processor; can't think of …

It's a 350 watt PS. When I plug it in, and it's not connected to anything it doesn't seem to fire up. Shouldn't the fan turn on even though it is not connected to any computer peripherals? I hooked it up first to a computer and it didn't fire up …

Has this replaced <TD></TD>? If not when do you use one over the other? Thanks, BuddyB

I see this vBulletin thingy in your post. Duh, what is it? I must lead a sheltered life. BuddyB

I'm running 2m pro, 130 megs of ram on a Compaq Dell Dimensions V400. There is an old install of McAfee that I want to get rid of and can't do it. When I go through the Install and uninstall applet not only does it not uninstall, but it freezes …

[QUOTE=Kinseeker69]You can either use the XP CD to format the drive or use a WIN98 boot disk[/QUOTE] That didn't work for me because of the NTFS I presume :) . BuddyB

My system sports WinXP Pro Svc Pk 2, 512 megs of RAM on an ASUS MB. I am not a neophite computer person, but I'm not familiar with the inner workings of firewire; am just beginning the journey. I have a Pinnacle systems firewire card with two ports. There is …

I'm trying to help a friend, and she's messed up the system someway. It is a Compaq Pentium II destop with a Gateway 2000 CrystalScan 17" monitor, and the system is 98SE. In Device Mgr. the monitor showing is the PCI VGA, and the problem is it will not give …

I'm actually fine in the auto IP dept, but I wanted to look and see the set-up. When I tried to execute cmd from Run, but no deal. I got the requester that states this app is not suitable for DOS applications. I know that you can do this from …

I really need to purge a couple of lines from XP Pro, and can't raise anything with regedit. How does one access the Registry in XP Pro? Info on the subject really appreciated. Thanks, BuddyB

I've seen this, but can't seem to find it. In one of the Icons in the Control Panel I believe you can see IP info, do release and renew, etc; and it's not through the "cmd" in the Run menu. Anyone aware of this? Thanks, BuddyB

You're looking at "Category View" I believe. In the left pane select "Classic View" and it should bring up all the Icons. BuddyB

I don't know when it happened, but I can't seem to raise the address slot. When I right click in the grey area it says that Address is checked and should be showing, but it is not. I've unchecked it, re-checked it, closed IE and opened again, but nothing seems …

I'm obviously overlooking something, but don't know what. The system is an ASUS KM2M Combo series with 1.7 GHz processor, built-in audio and video. The operating system is Win2000 pro and there's 256 megs of RAM on board. I know the speakers work, 'cause I can here them when I …

I had this problem once before, and don't remember what I did to correct the situation. I'm running XP SP 2. When I installed FireFox the fonts changed in IE for whatever reason. They're now large, and when I look at the same project in FireFox the fonts are smaller. …

I need some ideas. It's a 1.7 GHz processor, 256 megs of RAM. The MB is ASUS and the machine is running XP Home edition. It goes through the BIOS screen comes to a screen that should allow you to run safe-mode, etc. (but it won't allow you do do …

Well, it would appear to me, maybe, a vector drawing program, Photoshop and Dreamweaver. What you show hear appears to be a template from one of those package thingies. I know a lot of those are done in Photoshop period. With layers you can arrange to suit yourself, then save …

I'm working on a Win2M machine, 400MHz, 138l megs RAM. For some reason it won't see a new HD (80 megs), but putting it in another machine it's recognized and seen. I haven't a clue; ideas anyone? Thanks, BuddyB

I've designed a template to use on eBay. Of course I have no problem inserting my graphics and copy, but for my wife, when she looks at it she see's a lot of gibberish and dangerous territory to fool around in. So, I would like to design a form, of …

It's an Asus MB, 256 megs of RAM, 1.7 mhz processor. This is the first time this has ever happened and I have no explanation. A hard drive died. The machine has 2 HDs - C&D, A, Zip drive and CD player. The old D drive became the C drive. …

I'm trying to add a drive to a 2000 Pro Win machines. There's already a C drive. I just want to add it and make it the D drive. However, the machine does not recognize the HD. The drive is OK. I tried it in another machine and it appears …

I should know this, but have been unsuccessfully trying to change file associations on my XP Svc Pk 2 machine with 2 gig AMD processor on an Asus MB. The problem is simple, I've downloaded and installed the trial version of Paint Shop 9 Pro and it's taken all the …

I'm working on a friend's computer. It's a 1 gig processor with 128 megs of RAM. Basically he's screwed it up, so I reformatted and installed 2000 Pro on it again. I can install Norton on it and everything is fine, but afterword when I try to install MS Office …

I'm running a 2 gig machine with 512 megs of RAM with Win XP Pro, Svc Pk 2. It's an Asus MB with built-in audio and video. I've been fighting a lot of spyware lately, and somewhere along the way I've lost my sound. Some input on how I can …

Not just my browser, but my entire computer probably. I'm running WinXP Svc Pk2 on a 2 gig machine with 512 megs of mem. My pop-up, spyware situation is like an ants nest. I've run Ad-Aware, Spybot, Microsoft and CW Shredder. I've searched for new downloads, and there weren't many; …

I'm encountering a peculiar situation on a Win2000Pro machine. When the machine cranks up in the AM it is fine and works normally. As the day wears on, with use, the mouse actions get jerkier. Anyone have an idea? Thanks, BuddyB

I'm using WS_FTP and I cannot discover what the deal is. I have access to my folders, but I cannot create a new folder, nor can I delete folders. I do have the right trigger set for deleting folders with files in them, but I keep getting "Permission Denied." I've …

I realize this is standard HTML stuff from the browsers when you HREF a link. Well, I'm using img buttons for the link, and the blue outline, or purplish when clicked looks pretty awful. How may I preclude this showing up when the pages download? Thanks, BuddyB

This is probably a tall order; need some input from the talented folks hanging out here. I'm really just getting started, and blundering my way through the code. I'm running Win XP Pro/1024 X 768; my wife Win 2000 Pro/1024 X 768. I'm going to include the code I'm using, …

Someone was good enough to provide the coding for centering within, say, a table. I need to position a graphic(s) slightly left of center to allow for a background image placed within that table that shows a dropshadow, making it appear to be off center, though it's not. I suppose …

I rush in where angels fear to tread, and changed my msconfig in XP Pro 2 trying to reduce overhead. I may have disabled my firewall or something when unchecking start-up load files. Can someone tell me what file that might be so I can re-arm it? Thanks. BuddyB

..I've been. I remember looking through Win Explorer one time and running across pics I had downloaded from the net one time. This was on 98SE, but I'm running XP Pro SP2. Input certainly appreciated. Thanks, BuddyB

I'm running XP Pro SP2 on and AMD 1.7 gig. My question is, is it logical to run a firewall in addition to the one built into SP2, or will things get screwed up. I also have a firewall built into the router I'm using. Any thoughts on this appreciated. …

I would appreciate someone looking at my site, the source code and giving just a wee bit of direction. You'll notice I've got a nav bar table on the left, and a basic table on the right. In the nav bar table I've included a background and some buttons. My …

What I'm looking for is THE way to set up a catalog of different files that can be downloaded after a purchase and passcode assignment. I haven't delved into this area, so I'm a total blank as to where to look for info on this type thing. Any help is …

If you're going to use a .gif or .jpg as a background in a <td> cell is there a way to keep it from repeating? I've not much fortune with it at this point. Thanks, BuddyB

To do rounded corners with backgrounds, is there any way of doing it other than a background developed in a drawing/paint program? That seems to be the easy way, but the weight can be heavy and unflexible. Thanks, BuddyB

I've done all kind of reading and don't see anything about it. Is there any way to adjust spacing between the lines; anything remotely related to working in a page layout program? I'm trying to run headlines, but there's a ridiculous amount of space between lines. Any thoughts? Thanks, BuddyB

Maybe I had a dream? I seem to remember seeing Javascript balloons somewhere. Something I did notice, in XP Pro when you do a file search there is a balloon that shows the search path, and the balloon expands and contracts with the length of copy that is being displayed …

I've deleted some programs off my machine. Where in the Registry will I find them so I can delete? Help appreciated. Thanks, BuddyB

I'm not sure how to get that to happen. I saw it discussed once, but have forgotten the method and particulars. Any thoughts? Thanks, BuddyB

I placed this question in Web Design forum, but this may well be the place. I have a large upside down "L" shaped graphic I want to use as part of my navbar. It runs up the left side and across the top. I want to be able to drop …

Does anyone know of any way to maintain transparency of, say, a drop shadow over a background other than white? Thanks, BuddyB

I have an Asus board, 512 DDR Ram and a fresh install of XP Pro Svc Pk2. Everything seems to be fine, it flies. One problem is that every once in a while it will freeze; can't control alt delete; have to shut down and reboot. It does not have …

It's a fresh install of XP Pro Srvc Pck 2. Of course IE is the latest version. Anytime I try to read the source and click it in the menu nothing happens. Any ideas as to why? It wouldn't be the pop-up killer in SP 2 would it. If so, …

I think you'll have to use frames instead of tables. BuddyB

I just installed XP Pros Svc Pk2 on my machine, a beautiful thing. One problem I've encountered is that the images do not show in Outlook Express. I know this is a simple thing, but not having encountered it before I'm not sure how to correct this. Can someone lend …

I guess my taste is in my mouth. The site looks OK to me :). BuddyB
