try clearing your cached files to start with

Zachery 43 The Geek Father Team Colleague

try booting to safe mode

after post continue to press f8 over and over (to make sure you catch it)

you should get a options screen boot to safe mode

make your self another account with admin permissions


also as a side note NEVER upgrade from a 9x serries to a NT serries OS as you drag problems from the 9x with you :)

Zachery 43 The Geek Father Team Colleague

to be honest i have no clue,

also remember the servers distance from you will also effect your ping times

try download.com and search for cablenut download it

open the tweak settings for your OS / 56k (2000 56k i belive)

thats such a nice computer, having 56k almost makes it a joke :(

ill start working on sumthing after the weekend ^^

Novell has its up sides and down sides. personally i think novell will die out over the next 5-10 years, it was made back in the day when windows had no security, and now that windows NT serries is higly stable and powerfull novell will die out, its just as epxensive if not more so than windows, a Novell 6.5 server needs a MININUM of 180megs of ram just to boot and run the GUI, i belive windows 2k3 will run on 128 megs of ram (not recomended, but my 2k3 runs flawlessly on 196)

Windows is moving more towards some linux features, and Linux keeps gettin more and more like windows its just time before no one will be able to tell them apart

Not to be mean but lets fix you stats first you have either .95 ghz or 950 mhz :)

and you have some CD / DVD roms

did you run an upgrade? or a reinstall. with an migration from windows 9x serries to windows nt serries i NEVER recomend an upgrade as you tend to take problems with you

ive never heard of that error before >.>

Zachery 43 The Geek Father Team Colleague

Zachery 43 The Geek Father Team Colleague

Zachery 43 The Geek Father Team Colleague

you shouldnt need IE for your dsl to work fully

Zachery 43 The Geek Father Team Colleague

if anyone noticed he said "laptop"


ALL newer laptops beit p4 or AMD use a dynamic speed to conserve power, so then, if the computer only needs 1.2 ghz it will only use 1.2 ghz ;D

Zachery 43 The Geek Father Team Colleague

please type in full english if you can help it :)

try to uninstall and reinstall it

Zachery 43 The Geek Father Team Colleague

Zachery 43 The Geek Father Team Colleague

Zachery 43 The Geek Father Team Colleague

my best suggestion to you would be to try to find the isntall data on your hd and remove it...

Zachery 43 The Geek Father Team Colleague

have you scaned for spyware? and or virus?

Zachery 43 The Geek Father Team Colleague

if you cant use AVI preview to view the .avi partaily downloaded files and it wont work in preview you probally cant :\

Zachery 43 The Geek Father Team Colleague
