another thing you can try is proxy server from analog X. Its a great simple ICS tool that I used for a long time before going with a wireless router. Its a free tiny download and is simple to configure. I can also assist you with it as I have extensive experience with it. http://www.analogx.com/files/proxyi.exe download is there http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/proxy.htm info there.

Not a problem always here to lend a hand errr however boogery it might be. Big Booger

I mean does the mouse really need all that power to operate? Think about this, 500 Mhz machine mouse uses 100%, so if you upgrade to 1000Mhz machine, it should only need 50% ???? Just screwin' around. Thanks Conan for the clarification. Sometimes the smallest things screw me up. Big Booger

Whenever I click my mouse and hold it down (left click) looking at the windows task manager I see the CPU usage skyrocket to 100%. I know this should not be happening with a Pentium 4 1.6 Ghz PC 256 800mhz Ram 350 watt PS, etc... ANyone else having this problem, and know how to remedy it? I haven't a clue. Big Booger

If so, then navigate to start/all programs/accessories/command prompt, from there it will stay open all the time even after it completes. You can also create a shortcut to that program on your desktop for extra quick access. Big Booger

It used to take a second to load each screen now its a bit faster, maybe its my internet connection I dunno. Big Booger

I personally think its a great idea, and am going to buy it as soon as the final comes out and the support, bugs etc.. are worked out. My question: will your linux versions run Windows applications like Office XP, Frontpage, etc...? I think that is the point of lindows to be fully functional as a linux operating system while having the ability to run windows Applications. Big Booger

The smaller allocation of File size for attachments gets me every time. Sorry Big Booger attachment below:assshake

I received the lovely name.com virus. that is just super. Anyone else caught this virus. I received it in my Yahoo mail. It was sent as an attachment and the funny part the message seemed to contain the instructions on how to make a virus. Very hilarious. But an id*** would have downloaded it I believe! Big Booger

I'll be at the church on Sunday I promise, now that you have given me hold salvation through your years of prophecy! AMEN. Seriously i appreciate it and tomorrow I am giving this a whirl. Thanks for the link and the PSU advice. Big Booger

It sux, just to be honest, Trillian is nice, but I like yahoo messenger because I have more peeps, family and friends on that system. I dont like yahoo any better than I like MSN messenger, its just yahoo is where all my contacts are, and trillian is what I would use if I had more contacts in the other proggies. Big Booger

http://www.aumha.org/a/loads.htm that site has information about the startup folder which you can get rid of some of the proggies that are buggin. Also try tweak XP, under the sytem+file tweaks click on the autostart icon, Delete the stuff you dont want to autostart. Hope this helps, Big Booger

Conan, you are a friend indeed when a friends in need. Thanks man Big Booger

I get this message upon every cold boot. I have a Pentium 4 1.6 Ghz, 256 800 mhz rambus, 80 gig HDD, panasonic FDD, Samsung DVD, etc... I built this machine on my own, intel MOBO 850GB 423PIN, ASUS GEFORCE 64 MB TI AGP, Aopen platinum Sound card, etc... every time on a cold boot I get that message. As soon as I hit reset the machine boots with no problems. I thought this must be the IDE ribbon cable, it was an ATA 100 cable that came with the MOBO, I have a WESTERN DIGTIAL ATA100 drive. So I bought a standard ATA 66 cable just to check it out, still the exact same error. Never happens on a warm boot always on a cold. I even set the bios to wait 12 secs, before beginning the boot, because I read somewhere the processor might be too fast for the drive, still, a no go. ANyone have experience in this arena? Thanks, Big Booger

I have one 80 gig and one 15 gig on another PC. I am seriously getting that diskeeper asap as I want to try this crap out for myself and be the big cheese supreme, knowing if it works visually often helps more than verbal hoopla. Anywayz I will post on this matter tomorrow as soon as I try this diskeeper out. One other question, are you guys defragging full drives? Or are they partial. I was talking about defraging 60 gigs of my 80. It takes a s***load of time in 98, and not so big of a s***load in XP using NTFS. Just a comment and a question. Your local technical representative, Big Booger #219

Same boat here, As stated before 59.5 hours for defrag in windows 98se, And 6-8 hours in XP with 60 GIGS of data stored! Big Booger I am going to give diskeeper 7 a go, and see what the results are.

The point of NTFS is to make the file system cluster sizes smaller so that you have to defrag less, which means less wasted space, which means the less often you have to defrag your machine. I find it amazing that you have to defrag once a day. I havent defragged my machine in over 3 months, as I am using XP now. However prior to XP, I used to defrag 98 weekly. And believe it or not, XP defrags much faster than 98, ME, or 2K, as that has been my experience, I defrag my 80 gig HDD and have noticed it is considerably faster in XP NTFS than 98 FAT32. with nearly the same amount of data. In 98 it took me 59.5 hours to defrag 60 GIGS of data, On XP it took about 6-8 hours. Big Booger

I actually am wanting it too, I just lifted that screenshot. Applied it to my desktop and took another screenshot. No, XPerties, I am not a tech support representative of microsoft, I teach english in Japan, just practicing for when i start my own tech support business. Big Booger Sorry to joke like that but I thought it would be kewl to have LINDOWS. As soon as I find it, my friends I will surely share it with you. Big Booger

sorry screenshot was too big, making it smaller.

Take a look tell me what you think. Big Booger screenshot attached! is buggy, but its just a preview!

Just click start, click the picture next to your user name takes you to where you can change the picture! They take the long way around. But the logos are very nice! thanks reverend. I might go with a pepsi logo later on! Big Booger

http://www.techtv.com/products/software/st...3353691,00.html good read about file transferring in XP My thoughts: Two options, A. Stick the old HDD back in, use norton ghost, and back up your HDD for transferring to CDR and transfer that way. B. Have an old PC around or a second PC, pop your old HDD in it, set up the file transfers over a network or serial cable connection! Those are my suggestions! Big Booger

fibre channel A fibre channel storage subsystems could easily be built around SCSI drives. Similarly, such a subsystem could be attached to a SCSI bus under a single SCSI ID, evading the SCSI limit of 16 attached devices per channel. Fibre channel is a serial data transfer architecture developed for use over fibre optic cable, although it can also be used over shielded twisted-pair copper cables at a reduced distance. Single-mode fibre lets you connect devices over a 10km span, which offers options for disaster recovery and mirroring, but is not of much interest for everyday applications. Multi-mode fibre, which is cheaper, can support distances of up to 2km. ANother thing are you using Ultra scsi 3? Ultra3 SCSI, as ratified by the SCSI Trade Association, includes five features that take it beyond the capabilities of the 80Mb/s Ultra2 SCSI generation. These are: double transition clocking; cyclic redundancy check (CRC); domain validation; packetisation; and quick arbitration and select SCSI SPI-3 standard. ALSO with regards to stripped sets, you might want to try this site, as it enlightened me very well. http://dvguide.sharbor.com/toasternt/suppo...-stripeset.html Hope this helps, Big Booger
