  1. Does VER typed in a FULL SCREEN DOS window inside a WIndows 9x provide anything different from the output of the same command typed when booted in plain DOS on the same machine? :unsure:

    Yeah, it tells ME ME ME ME ME, the freaking OS!!!!!! I don't believe what HE says!!!! Why fart around telling him what to do? If I don't get some basic hard facts?!?!?!

  2. how about this contradiction:

    when in windows and I would go to the folder and double click on the software icon the PC would reboot and load that software directly. The desktop would never show briefly.

    How can you go to the folder, in windows, double click on something.... yet you never see the "Desktop." ???

    What program, besides the windows desktop, did he use to click on the software icon?

  3. Maybe there is a communication problem.

    That's why I suggested typing in "Ver." But nobody listens to me :-)

    It will tell you which version of DOS is really installed, and therefore what Windows is actually present. otherwise, this is all just a wild goose chase.

  4. but before the PC actually enters GUI win the program shows up.

    Could be that the DOS program is placed in the "Startup" menu, and set for Full Screen mode. The Alt-Enter method should work to reduce the window size.

    Also try hitting "Ctrl+C" or "Ctrl+Break" or else type in "Exit" and see what happens.

  5. IF he has access to DOS, the quickest way to find out what version of DOS, and therefore whether or not Windows is installed, is to type "Ver."

    Type "ver" and hit enter. Tell us what it says.

    *Edit*

    Once you get access to your CNC Machine again, please type in "Ver" and then hit enter. Tell us what version of DOS/Windows it really is. Okay?

    If it really does have a Windows start up screen, don't forget to try: hold down "Alt" key then press "TAB" key a few times to see what happens.

    Good luck.

  6. (1) Have you tried pressing "Alt+Tab" to switch out of the program using task manager? Hold down the Alt Key and press TAB, while continuing to hold the Alt key, keep hitting TAB. See what happens.

    (2) Have you tried hitting the F8 key before Windows loads... to get into safe mode?

  7. The moss wouldn't work on the moon, there's no atmosphere or water. It's totally in-organic on the surface of the moon, at least at the equatorial region. At the poles, however, there are organic materials trapped in ice.

    Seeds of life can sprout in moon's icy pockets

    That's not to say that life itself might be forming in frozen reservoirs. The organics created in these simulations would need to become even more complex to be biologically useful, says Michael Callahan at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. "You can further react them to make more interesting things," says Callahan, but the organics made in the current simulation are many steps removed from the base molecules of DNA.

    ^ a long way off from saying Moss can grow on the moon :-)

    So, if there is a hidden moon base, it would probably have to be at one of the poles :-)

  8. Scandisk does not have an issue with the 137 gig limit issue. If that was the case I would not have been able to install Me on my aspire one.

    EDIT: Nor would I be able to run a scandisk check on it.

    Oh, okay :-) Wasn't sure.

    @ ROTS

    My experiences weren't much better. I long ago quit attempting to install Windows ME on anything besides what it was specifically designed for -- meaning, it came with ME originally installed from the factory. I can live with a pentium III processor and less than 512 MB Ram. It's no big deal to me. Never understood the appeal of partitioning up hard drives for more than one O.S. per disk.

  9. Second time I've removed one 1 GB of 2, so only 1 GB left. Everything was fine until second reboot, then "updated system files, continuing to load" message and... Nothing except blinking cursor right after the words "continuing to load".

    What you mean by "second reboot" is when it reboots during the Installation process, right? When Windows ME is installing, it copies all the files then it reboots itself, then it continues setting up the system. Is that where it crashes? That second reboot?

    The finalized version of Windows doesn't actually load then, correct? If I understand you correctly you are just stuck on installation? The first "wave" of files is copied to your hard drive, then it reboots to continue intallation, but it hangs there?

    ....you might need a better/different CD-Rom.

    I had this problem once where I couldn't finish installing Windows ME. Problem turned out to be a dying, defective, or messed up CD-Rom drive. Or else Windows ME didn't like that particular brand/model of CD-Rom. I put in a different model and it finished installing Windows. Otherwise it would just hang at the "second reboot" during installtion. Sorta like what you describe.

    Again, this is only my opinion... maybe somebody else has a better idea. Good luck.

  10. Are you using an authentic install disc for Windows ME?

    I've burned copies of my Windows ME cd and they always turned out error prone. I would install Windows with one of these burned copies, then before you know it, all sorts of kernel errors would pop up. Or else it would crash while updating system settings right after installation. In the end, the system was never stable. All that disappears when I use a real copy.

    That's just a suggestion :-) Of course, you could already be using an authentic copy. In that case, I don't know.

  11. Well, I wasn't really being serious what I said about linux. Just so you know :-) It was sorta just the heat of the moment.

    Anyways, sorry about that, guys! :-)

    So, please excuse my "uncalled for", "gratuitious", "unbecoming" and "failed-to-meet-Jaclaz's-expectations" comments from posts #84 and #86 above.

    Now, back to having fun, and posting youtube videos! (I hope)
