 | Hello, I have unfortunately seen this problem on Compaq Presario lines too... the hidden partition with the masters on it. What a cheap deal.... for a company to not provide the media. Just think of the couple of bucks needed to send the OS along on disk. Personally I would …  |
| | Hello, First, your 268 adsl is measuring bandwidth in BITS, and reporting to you a download rate in BYTES. There are 8 bits to a byte. Also realize that is a therotical maximum, and doesn't account for protocol overhead, or the speed of the sender. If you are connecting to … |
| | Hi, I just wonder if instead of electrons and wires, we had pipes and water. Imagine a hydrolic computer. We would have leaks instead of bugs (wait, we do have memory leaks... better think of a different term... drips? But water under pressure doesn't drip... it squirts) so we have …  |
 | Re: A grain of rice Hello, I would clarify. What brand / type of rice? Wild Rice? Cooked or uncooked? :) Sorry. If I had to guess, I would say 1/2 gram. Christian |
| | Hello, As the Laptop is able to get to the internet, and as the workstation can see the laptop, we know that: * Hardware is good. If the workstation could not see the laptop, this would not be good. * Laptop's protocol is set accordingly. Can get to the internet. … |
| | Hi, I will move this post to the Storage area where it might have better service. As for using your DVD drive... it is mounted internally, meaning that it is either SCSI, IDE, or perhaps FireWire. Guessing it is IDE. If so, you may be able to get an external … |
 | Hello, You can also try booting an alternative OS. For example, if your computer was a Windows 2000 Server, try loading Knoppix on it, and use linux to access the hard drive. You can also try a floppy disk with DOS on it, and some network drivers, and an NTFS … |
| | Re: Formatting Help Hello, Yor computer has three hard drives. When we speak of RAID and partitions, we like to use the word VOLUMES in the server world to describe how the data is stored on your computer. Backup your data first. Then, you can boot from the CD-ROM, and destroy all of … |
| | Hello, I would suspect the nVidia card. I have seen numerous times at work the nVidia cards and their drivers act up. We found ATI to be far more reliable and stable. If you have a older video card laying around, give it a try. Or see if you can …  |
| | Hello, This brings up a very important question, and I am researching it. If others have some thoughts, feel free to post. Looking historically, the new chips should support the older operating systems, but this is a much larger shift than Apple successfully worked in the past. More to follow. … |
| | Hello, The quietest device I have seen is the Apple Mac Cube. No fans. The quietest device I have ever owned is my Palm. Maybe you should look for a tower to put under your desk, or perhaps a computer to put in another room, and then use remote control … |
| | Hello, Your first major mistake was to upgrade your computer without making a backup. I bet you will learn from this, and not make this mistake a second time. Backups are the lifeblood of your data. Also, had your data been on a different partition, you could re-format C: and … |
| | Hello, This could be tricky for you concerning the LaserWriter Select. It is a postscript printer, so you should be able to make a printer for it, and use any postscript driver for basic printing functionality. I have not used the Asante hardware to convert from ethernet to Localtalk / … |
| | Re: Suse display Hello, I am brand new to SuSE myself, having worked with RedHat / Fedora for a long time. If you left your computer so that it boots into the text mode, then you have a chance to login as root and work with the file system. I would see if … |
| | Hello Katie, Have you found an answer concerning this? I am wondering... just found the thread and am curious. Christian |
| | Hi, I don't use any internet speedup utility. I do not believe the claims -- the FCC in the US regulates the maximum transfer speed over dialup, so that means vendors have to come up with means of compressing data in order to achieve the claims. But then we have …  |
| | Hello, I think freedoms of expression are necessary, as long as you do not impede on my freedom to ignore you. For example, you may have the freedom to smoke a cigarette. I have the freedom of breathing clean air, so please do not smoke near me. A number of … |
| | Hello, Welcome to DaniWeb. Please do not hijack other people's threads... your problem is different and unique, and you are welcome to start your own discussion. Powerbooks require the C button to be held down to boot from the CD-ROM, whereas your iMAC is seeing the CD-ROM in the drive, … |
| | Re: The 10th Planet Hello, Any picture of Pluto is a bright dot. Not even the Hubble Telescope can resolve the planet clear enough to see if there are clouds there, or ice. Pluto has the interesting fact that it has a moon, Charon. The two orbit each other around a central mass point … |
| | Hello, I prefer cable modems. Mine has been nice and steady and very reliable. At least it is not BPL. Broadband over Powerline is a rotten deal, especially in the incarnations of using medium high-frequencies to distribute the signal. I think wireless in the 802.11 band is going to get … |
| | Hello, I am curious if the computer's BIOS properly registers the second hard drive, and am curious if your computer was running something else, like a linux, before turning it into a Win 2000 box. Windows 2K would recognize FAT or FAT32 as a hard drive format, but perhaps if … |
| | Hello, It could be the video card, or perhaps the switch itself. You did mention that the BIOS POST was looking funny -- and that is outside the control / influence of Windoze. Do you see the same behavior when the monitor is connected without the switch? In my switch … |
| | Hello, For the others reading the thread, you may wish to tell us HOW you did it. Giving back to the forum is almost as fun as asking things. :) Thanks, Christian |
| | Hello, I would run an anti-virus scan, and would then run an adaware scan. You can also check to see if IE is at fault by downloading and running Firefox. If Firefox works just fine, you have a gremlin in IE. I suggest you try AVG Antivirus, as it is … |
| | Hello, I am not certain if it is hardware or software, based upon what you are saying. What I would do is disconnect the monitor, and reboot the server. Remote Desktop into the server, and see if it is stable. If so, you can think about monitors and video cards, … |
| | Hello, You need to tell your router's configuration that anything coming in on the WAN port for TCP 3389 needs to be sent to the IP number of your XP box @ port 3389. For example, 24.123.132.13:3389 needs to be sent to 192.168.0.10:3389 Also, if your XP box is running … |
| | Hello, It sounds like you are trying to use the printer and print via the network. The Deskjet 5150 looks like it supports USB only compatability. Can you give us some more information on the Linksys Print Server? I have a feeling you have a driver conflict. Christian |
| | Hello, Ah. Hypercard! I remember those days. Very useful document format. I looked around Apple's site, and found: [url]http://developer.apple.com/macosx/spotlight.html[/url] Which talks about how Spotlight works, and inner details about it, but it did not mention Hypercard as a supported file type. It did leave links on how you could write … |
| | Hello, There is a system patch to go from 9.0 to something like 9.0.4, or perhaps, even to 9.1 You should move your OS up the path to get to 9.1 if possible. CHristian |
| | Hello, In my experience, you need to be the admin/supervisor to install an environment, such as Tomcat, or Apache, or things that interact at the higher level. There are some scripts out there, such as yappa-ng that a user could install, and run from his own area. BUt things that … |
| | Hello, Is the Firewire drive enabled for sharing? I have not tried something like this before, so do not know if you even have to enable it or not. But there might be a setting somewhere in the disk properties that regulate sharing or not. Christian |
| | Hello, It sounds like a problem with OS X. Try rebooting in OS X and seeing if it works now. If not, first go to the System Profiler, and make sure that the OS sees the Optical Drive. If it does, go to the Disk Utility and do a scan … |
| | Hello, I am wondering about the details -- if the drive was cooked, and unusuable, I am surprised he was able to get data off of it. it is possible for the boot / OS part of the drive to be corrupted, and yet have the data survive, but fried … |
| | Hello, I would start up the install from DVD clean. Format the drive, and start over from scratch. It sounds like something is missing and wrong, and as long as you are not out of square 1, you might as well go back to the entrance door. Christian |
| | Hello, I work daily with Fedora Core 3, and am tempted to switch to SuSE to learn more about that desktop and work with it. I have not had a problem with Fedora / RedHat, and admit that I have not explored GenToo, Mandrake, etc. I tried Debian, and quickly … |
| | Re: Which Linux? Hello, I am a RedHat / Fedora fan, and also liked SuSE. I did not get into big-time programming though. Christian |
| | Hello Rich, I would like to help you work on this, but need a graphical network diagram to sink my teeth into. If you can make a drawing and scan it, and attach it as a .pdf or something, I would be happy to look. Christian |
| | Hello, I have no experience burning with RW from my Mac. I have never had a problem with R or DVD-R though. It is possible that you are ejecting the disks before the burn is committed to them. OS X allows you to setup the burn before actually committing it … |
 | Hello, I am sorry that I did not catch this post earlier. Missed the radar screen. Windows Profiles are user specific, and very easy to corrupt. They store everything unique to the user -- the IE shortcuts, pieces of MS Office, the color of your desktop picture, bunches of internet … |
| | Re: Hi Everyone Hello Bonnie, Welcome to DaniWeb. I hope that you have a pleasent stay here. I think you are the 4th or 5th Ham here on the site. I am thinking of doing some articles here concerning BPL and other little snippets. Take care, and enjoy. Christian |
| | Hello, I am sure that it is possible to setup a mail server using Windows XP. Probably not the best suited environment for it, but it should work out. The larger question is if someone else is going to be able to receive your email effectively. More and more places … |
| | Hello, It is possible that you can no longer open photoshop because of your program deletions on your hard drive. It is possible that Photoshop was using a chunk of hard drive space as virutal memory, and when you deleted programs and added some new ones, it is possible that … |
| | Hello, There has to be something messed up on the settings of your computer. Perhaps you have a C: and D: drive, and are "looking" at the wrong one. Or perhaps IE was told to download files to your floppy / USB drive (if you have one). IT could also … |
 | Hello, Technology will not solve a social problem. There are a couple things that you can do to force the issue of the game problem (assuming all are within the web browsers) * A week before you implement, record the dns name of the various game sites that your people … |
| | Hello, Sometimes you need to be patient on seeking answers. The people here are all volunteers, and posting a question in the afternoon / evening of Jul 26, and expecting complete answers within 48 hours, can be pushing it a bit. Hang in there. People will come around. Looking at … |
 | Hello, At the various companies that I have done contract computer support for, I have not had a problem with Dell. I have run into problems with Compaq desktops, but Dell has been responsive and there for me when we needed parts and drivers. IF you decide to go ahead … |
| | Hello, I would install a second hard drive @ 160 GB (probably make it 180 GB second drive, as drives are not exactly sized, and your second one has to be at least as large as the first one) and I would mirror the partitions using the Disk Administrator. I … |
| | Re: Xp won't install HI, I would also make sure your computer is XP compatable. Go to [url]www.microsoft.com[/url] and find out what the minimum specifications for XP are. Christian |
| | Hello, WAN means that your connection goes through the router's firewall / routing scheme, whereas the LAN ports imply that you are on the same subnet. In English, this means that if you wire your computers with the WAN port, you will need to configure the firewall and routing on …  |
 | Hello, Just for next time... as you saw that Setup is inspecting your hardware.... message, this tells you the following immediately: * Your boot order was fine * Your IDE / ATA subsystem is fine * Your startup disk loaded correctly * Your RAM was counted and initialized properly Lots … |
The End.
