 | Hello, I believe Netscape under the days of OS 8 - 9 kept the emails inside a folder called Profiles. You might have to go to backups, and retrieve them from there. I am trying to think if I have an OS 8 computer to test that theory out on. …  |
| | Hello, Most likely, it will not allow you to format an active system partition. What does that mean? It means that if you booted your computer XP, and it was booted from the C:, it will not allow you to format that partition. A format is a disk operation that …  |
 | Hello, I hope that is not your social security number as a username. If so, please have it changed. One thing I did wrong in college was let my number float out on checks, and well, that was just dumb! Anyway, your program is going to need a few things: …  |
| | Hello, I *think* that is is going to be determined by how many threads you have enabled on your webserver, such as apache or IIIIS. You might be more interested in how many threads may be open instead of a client. For example, I could be 1 client, but accessing … |
| | Hello, OS X has always been a bit IFFY on SCSI support... I have a G3 powerbook, the Lombardi, and certain things on SCSI do not work, and certain things do work. I typically go into OS 9 if I need to do SCSI work. Will your iBook load OS9? … |
| | Hello, The iMac was designed to be a consumer - oriented computer with limited expansion options. It was based on the ideas that drove the original Macintosh back in the 1980's.... simple form, all in one design, detached keyboard and mouse. I do not think these iMacs have an expansion … |
| | Hello, What I used to do in the day was make a floppy disk that had a Ram Drive available, so that I could boot with the floppy disk, and then move the system folder to the Ram drive, from where I could eject the floppy disk out, and load … |
| | Hello, I vote Bush. I think he is the lesser of two evils. I would like to see a stronger conservative on the ballot, but that will not happen this time around. Christian |
| | Hello Chris, What do you mean by Integrate? Simply access files on a server/workgroup, or server/domain? Or are you looking to host computer accounts and such with the Active Directory, and have taps into other management? 10.2 (Jaguar) and 10.3 (Panther) will connect out of the box with the SMB … |
| | Hello, IN the future, please do not hijack another conversation in the threads. To do so is bad manners. I have created this new thread for you. If you are brand new to Linux, your best bet is a good book. SUSE, RedHat, Mandrake, etc are going to share the … |
| | Hello, Apple has improved their Disk utility software on the CD-ROM, and that is all I have needed for OS X. Whatever you do, DO NOT use an OS 9 utility for OS X. That is a great way to force a machine rebuild. Christian |
| | Re: at ease password Hello, I would do a re-install of the OS. Why? because you do not know what the initial owner may have installed, or left behind on it. There could be some personal data on there, or some wierd control panel, or some software you are not properly licensed to have. … |
| | Hello, Just so that I understand the question correctly.... you are having the users of OS X log into an Active Directory domain, and then when they make a print out, you wish them to re-authenticate? I am not certain this is possible, unless you force the user to logout … |
| | Hello, What speed is your WAN connection to the remote office? We have a VPN here that connects our two offices, and it moves along just fine. As for your orig question concerning mirroring the drives... that would be fun even in a pure NOS environment, where you had both … |
 | Re: "e" equals.... Hello, Assuming that you mean e as that math constant e, I found: e = 2.71828182845904523536028747135266249775724709369995 But, you should really write a program as described by: [url]http://www.gwydiondylan.org/gdref/gdlibs/libs-transcendental-e.html[/url] And really figure it out for yourself. I had Mathematica crunch out PI to 100,000 places for me on my Mac LC once. … |

| | Hello, It is possible that your Microsoft Office is corrupted. I would re-install it. If memory serves, Office is a drag-and-drop application, that sets up everything on it's own when you run it for the first time. Christian  |
| | Hello, When you purchased the computer off Ebay, did you re-format it and start over? You might have morsels leftover from the last guy, and it is always advisible to clean house when starting a new setup / environment. Think of buying a car-- you would want the dealer to … |
| | Hi, I am thinking your computer doesn't like to sleep with the ISDN attached. Remove the USB cable, and try your steps a few times. Write back and let us know, Christian |
| | Hello, This topic is in the proper forum. Let's not worry about that. You mentioned that your hard drive was partitioned into two. It is unfortunate that when files are on your desktop, they are part of your profile, and thus are stored on the C:\ the directory structure that …  |
| | Hello, OS X does have a "safe mode". It is triggered with a keyboard sequence, of which I need to go look up and get back to you with. Christian |
| | Hello, When booting from the XP CD, the software should ask you where to install it. In that screen, you should see the partions available listed. You should be able to delete the partition, effectively forcing you to re-partition and implied re-format. If you are having troubles booting from CD, … |
| | Hello, Do you have a second keyboard around? Try that out, and see if there is a failure too. If an external keyboard has the same problems (highly unlikely), then it could be software. The external keyboard (USB) would be a good short term fix. But I would put my … |
| | Re: OSX - .DS_Store Hi, .DS_Store is a system file. Mac OS X leaves these files around as part of the OS management implementation. You will see them on servers, and if you go looking around hidden files and so forth. This is not a virus. I have changed the name of the thread … |
| | Hello, We have two things going on here... the proper transfer of license (political) and the OS issue of asking for the floppy disk. The OS 9 environment is caught up looking for that disk, and you will need to find a way to satisfy it's thirst. First, the political... … |
 | Re: Wow Hi, The Mac is also a wonderful platform. Linux could use a nice Photoshop equivalent. Yes, there is GIMP out there, but I believe it is limited to 256 colors. I'd like to see thousands / millions myself. FreeCiv is a nice Linux game, along with Chess and the one … |
| | Hello, Are you running OS X? OS 9? Were you trying to use iDVD, or the Disk Burn Utility? Perhaps Toast? Let us know some details, and we can help you. :) Christian |
| | Hello, It depends on what distro you are trying to work with. For example, I know that RedHat allowed me to do a floppy disk --> FTP installation. You might want to go and find a older, more compatable NIC card. I have had great success with 3Com cards, such … |
| | Hello, Your keyboard may have taken a static shot and zapped out. It can happen. But -- do you have a keyboard that supports the "number pad" on the keyboard? Some laptops do this, and instead of letters, you will get numbers. If that is the case, you might have … |
| | Hello, FIRST, BACKUP your computer. Don't read my next set of thoughts. Get it backed up, and get a schedule together to plan for the future. Burn to a CD-ROM, or some floppies, or consider an online storage (I built a file server, but that is an advanced solution). As … |
| | Hello, You might wish to try Mozilla's Firefox product. It is nice, fast, stable, and works well. Christian |
| | Hello, There *might* be a way to directly connect a Mac and PC via Firewire, but without knowing your model, I cannot say further. Back in the day, there was a "SCSI Disk Mode" that a powerbook could go into under OS9, and hook it to another Mac via a … |
| | Hello, The problem with BPL is that it is really noisy electro-magnetically (meaning radio waves), and could interfere with AM, Ham Radio, FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Administration), Citizen's Band, and Military communications. BPL in the United States, so far, is destined to splatter anywhere from 1 - 80 MHz with … |
| | Hello, I was killing some bugs on a user's system, and found one with a License.txt file. I find this particularly amusing that someone would write something. Here it is: THE DELFIN PROJECT, INC. END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT ("EULA") FOR THE PROMULGATE® CLIENT SOFTWARE PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE USING … |
| | Hello, It is possible that OS X won't see the Asante talk bridge. Couple things to check... -- Is the Asante bridge running IP? If so, can you ping it? HP Jet directs do use IP, and you can telnet into them. I have not used the Asante bridge, so … |
| | Hello, My guess is that the Border server is not up-to-date with NDS. Might want to do a DS repair on the entire enterprise, and make certain everyone has the same copy of the tree. Let us know. Christian |
| | Re: iCal auto-start Hello, Yellow is correct. There is another way to do it if you want things to startup for all users. You can find that folder on the System Volume --> Library --> StartupItems Christian |
 | Re: How do I? Agree. Need to know the model number. Some of the powerbooks had a chip on the battery (they were called intelligent batteries), and you had to run a reconditioner program here and there. My Powerbook G3 battery gets a little funny under OS X, and in order to do maintenance … |
| | Hello, "help wanted" is a forum for people to post classified ads, such as "I need help and want to hire someone." Your post belongs in the Windows security forum, and I am sending it there for review... System services may be found on 2000/XP computers by looking into the … |
| | HI, I think there needs to be the this discussion, and might as well keep it here. Although no one will argue that politics is a "science" and good luck with the tech support on that. I think that we have to bozos running for office. I'll be voting for … |
| | Hello, I am assuming your Samba server is on the Linux box, and you are connecting from Windows over the network. Storing the files in the Recycle Bin is very dangerous. I would rather train your users to delete only what needs to be deleted. There will always be the … |
| | Re: novell Hello, Novell is a Network Operating System, just like Linux and Windows 2000 / 2003 Server. Novell was the dominate networking environment in the PC / Mac world, until the mid 1990's, when Microsoft prepared NT 4 Server, and then Windows 2000 server. Novell handles printing, file sharing, web sharing, … |
| | Hello, Does Command - A work in other applications? Is there another shortcut that you see next to Select All... in the drop-down menu? I do not use Entourage, so cannot verify. Christian |
| | Hello, Never installed a computer with the other languages. Where are you making changes? A particular control panel? Help walk us through please. Christian |
| | Re: IE over Firefox? Hello, Yes, do change from IE to Firefox. DOn't delete IE though, as some agencies with narrow-vision will only code for that particular browser. On my Mac, I also keep IE and Safari around, just in case. I do see little differences among the versions of Firefox that I have. … |
| | Re: Need some advice Hello, This is your basic modern computer. Good for word processing, internet, some games, that sort of thing. It will run Windows and Linux no problem. Ethernet card will let youwire into a cable modem or DSL line if you wish. DVD Rom will let you access DVD disks. Unknown …  |
| | Re: smb rights Hi, What are you using to configure samba? SWAT? Webmin? Did this just start happening, or has it been around for a while now? Might also be useful to post your samba.conf file. Check it first to make sure there are no passwords in it. Christian |
| | Hello, The easy answer according to me: Macs are superior in quality of hardware, and design of the operating system. They work very well for me, and for the folks that I support, but they are just computers! The better question is to ask your self what you want your … |
| | Hello, I did not see this one at first, because it is in the discussion and not the support forum. Moving it there.... I agree with yellow, but would take his advice further.... rebuild the laptop from the ground up. You do not know if any software there is stolen, … |
| | Hello, It is possible that your drive is bad. You mentioned that you checked a bunch of disks... all home made, or some commercial too? How about Music vs. Data? You can try going to a Radio Shack and getting a CD-ROM cleaner. It is a CD with a little … |
The End.
