You can also run scandisk ( or any other utility ) from DOS. You must boot into DOS or change to DOS mode to do this.

**** XPerties, you did all that in just 2 days! I think XPerties should be the MSFN graphics guru.......

Welcome to he forum Mkazak. Give this a try, sounds like your problem to me.

Thanks........

That would be " Works 7 ".........

The spell check is grayed out in OE. I have word 7 installed. Any ideas?

Maybe this will help, if not it is still some good information...

Here is my new sig and avatar. Simple, but then I am no unreal............

After once locating the host file by using the search function simply rename the file, I renamed it to " host.txt ". Now you can read the file in note pad. If you decide after reading it you want to keep it or just delete a few of the URLs that have been placed there you can rename it again back to just " host " and away you gooooo............

Actually, the Hosts file is one of my pet peeves--- several badly-done "internet accelerator" tools and ad- and pop-up blockers actively misuse it. As George found--- despite his heroic troubleshooting efforts--- misuse of the Hosts file can be *extremely* difficult to track down. I strongly recommend NOT using the Hosts file for any internet-related purposes; and to avoid using any tools that make use of the Hosts file. They almost always end up causing more trouble than they solve. How strongly do I recommend this? Well, we've even called it the "Evil Hosts File" in the past. <g> Lots more info: Link to infromation.. Read item #5 on the list.......... Source: Lanagalist.com

I just do not seem to have the artistic flare.......... My new little sig, what do you think?

Interesting comment the_JOHN, fonts has always been something that people have liked about my sigs...... Very intersting.........

What is your thoughts on this one?

It is a bit blurry because my computer is, no wait, my hands shake, no wait, it is a fast flash, no wait, because it was made a bit blurry.... w00t I am working on a revision, see ya soon...........

Now we all know that I am not the artist in the group, however what do you think of the new sig gang?

Happy B-day and many happy returns...

True, how true........ The quality of the site is not found in it's standing among the popular vote, rather in its content.......

I like your sig gamehead200. Changing it of course is up to you. Myself I am just trying to learn new techniques...

Thanks for the fonts Jay. You are correct it is a matter of taste on the look of the sig. Question: how did you do the 1 pixel selection? That does give it a nice boarder. I might have went as far as using a shadow under the second layer (boarder at top) to give it some depth.

Quote by me: I am using PSP 7 and working with PSP 8 beta. Much easier to use than Photoshop and less than $100........ (Photoshop is a rich mans progy)......... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jay look at the second part of my statement. ** PSP7 ** is under $100... ** PhotoShop7 ** is over $500..... Price is something that has to be looked at by most of us. For the money PSP7 becomes the choice with this in mind. With this of course we must yield to features that are yet to be refined. As well Jasc is coming out with PSP8 soon and IMHO is going to open up more for the home user in the graphics area. There is also the mater of the ability to see the graphic in ones mind before one can put it on the screen. This is practice, practice, practice for the larger percentage of users. When we put a simple sig up for all to see it is not to seek praise (which is always welcome) but rather input as to what we can do to change our view of how to construct a sig. Thoughts on how we can do this are most welcome and we do appreciate the effort that is taken by others to share there ability to do this. Telling someone that they have to use software that is out of reach because of cost just to do simple graphics is just insensitive to others IMHO...... You might want to look at this as well....... ** PSP sites.... **

Nice link MSNwar. I have a buddie still using Win 98 and this should help out, thanks.......

I like your sig there Doggie. It has some depth to it with the shadowing...

---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Quote from Jay_Stealth -- its not much easier than photoshop ive used both. the only reason why you might find it better is because you dont know how to create your own styles and effects so just use the pre built filters in psp7. photoshop is so quick for doing stuff once you know your way around it especially with keyboard shorcuts ----------- With all do respect Jay, what the hell is you problem? You never seem to have a kind word to say when it comes to graphics done by others. We may not be as good as you at putting together graphic work but then again why do you seem to always have to make negative comments instead of offering some assistance or a helpful hint or two. I would have to say that you are around 12 to 15 years old, or at least that is what you portray. Get a life............
