  1. RoadRunner for the last two years with 1.5mbits download and 400 kilobyte upload capability. Excellent and reliable. The $44.95 a month is a little excessive but having 3 computers on a router it works great.

  2. INCD is Nero's packet writing software and if you have a Mt. Ranier capable CD-RW it only takes about 20 -30 seconds to initialize and it is ready to be treated like a floppy. I use Version 3.34. which works great. The new version that is out 4.01 does not recognize my new drive and will not load anything.

  3. :) I agree with Tinker. The one comment about Bush and election is Bush did not get the popular vote because the Democrats stopped the counting in most states of absentee ballots if there was no question who was winning the state. Most absentee ballots are from service people who voted for Bush.

    As a military retiree we know who the enemies of this country are

    Our enemies:

    Vietnam War -- Vietnam, China, US Media, US Democratic Party

    Cold War -- USSR, US Media, US Democratic Party

    Gulf Wars - Iraq, US Media, US Democratic Party

    :rolleyes:

  4. :) FYI,

    I have been using PCPITSTOP site for quite a while and with a new machine I have been testing it quite often. I recently noticed that my PCPitstop was flagging my harddrives for slow transfer. I did not have this problem when I originally acquired the machine. I used the history function and found out when the problem had started. It was when I had installed McAfee's Virusscan 7.0. I disabled the program and reran the tests. Everything was back to normal. I checked the settings for System Scan and noticed that it was set for "all files." I changed it to the "default files" setting that I had also set on my old machine and re-enabled the program. My harddrive transfer rate stayed at the normal rate. I thought this was an interesting find and wanted to pass it on.

  5. :) Has anyone had any network problems after returning from hibernation. My PC using Roadrunner as its Internet Provider will not reconnect if it has been shut down by hibernation. The only way to get back the connection is restart. Any ideas, because hibernate is useless if I have to restart anyway for my network to work. Thanks for any advice. :rolleyes:
  6. I have the Scanjet 2100C that came with the XP Pro Bundle I purchase. It has worked great with XP using its built in Wizard but the software that came with it, HP PrecisionScan LTX is not compatible. They have come out with version 1.11. I installed it which is another story, but it appeared to be a nice program. It included Scan to Web which allowed you to scan pictures to a Web site for sharing pictures, and it included OCR which appeared to work very well. The Bad News is you lose all your XP ability using its wizards for controlling the scanner and I found out last night it also messes up your communications to CDRWs. I was able to burn a CD but was unable to read various ones. I uninstalled the PrecisionScan software and deleted the Scanner from Device Manager to get my XP ability back. I also was able to read the CDs again. I guess it time to wait for the next update from HP.

    :cry

  7. Hey, I got the same message when I upgraded my memory. I had received a 256M Dimm with my XP purchase, but I didn't put it in till later. I got the System error and a few others. I rebuilt the system. (I found out later I could have probably ran re-install. I replaced my memory and all was good.

  8. Same indications. I try to keep my Start menu and bar at double wide. Sometimes it does after a fresh boot come up correctly, but after a logoff and back on it goes single again. Same indications in Explorer. Sometimes status bar, sometimes not.

    BTW :) Sig is good except too much jacket:D
