  1. Thank you, that is perfect. I was faced with the task of learning VB XX. As I am a hardware guy it would have taken a long time.
  2. Does anyone have a utility to change the User & Company in the Registry using a simple on-screen box that asks for the User name etc. "Enter" and the names are changed. I can hack the registy but would like an easier way Any help would be appreciated.
  3. You may want to think about the latest version. It's FREE http://www.ubuntu.com/download The new 6.06 version is a lot better
  4. Play safe, unplug your master XP Pro drive just in case. Make your "Spare" drive the master and format it using a DOS disc, or run FDISK or any of the Wipe Drive utils on the web. Make SURE you wipe the spare drive ????? Install Vista I did an install over XP and expected Vista to format and install, instead it left both XP and Vista, I had problems. Leave the screws out of the case side so you can change cables easily or go buy a Slide In Tray from Comp-USA, Best Buy or Frye's etc. I am not that impressed with Vista at this point, seems slow and harder to navigate. I suppose I am used to XP.
  5. You need to build a "PE CD". Self booting CD that is a modified XP. http://www.ubcd4win.com/ Check in the downloads section and follow instructions. Make the CD on a friends PC and then boot from the PE disk. Start - Programs - File Managers ?? If you have an external HD or Flash, have it plugged in when booting Find and copy your files.
  6. There is a later version of Memtest, it was re-written and is called Memtest86+. I use this on ALL machines that show problems. Download site is below, choose "Pre compiled booteable ISO" http://www.memtest.org/#downiso Also atached the file (really small and self booting) memtest86__1.65.iso.zip
  7. If you think Nlite is fun and saves time, try inegrating drivers into your CD. http://www.driverpacks.net/ & http://www.uawiki.org/doku.php for the instructions. Only goes to prove, people do not need drugs when you can get high on this stuff
  8. If you are using ANY NAME BRAND PC and you reinstall XP Home or Pro the normal activation via the Internet will not work, you have to call Microsoft at 1-888-571-2048 and activate over the phone. I install OEM (system builder) versions of Home and Pro every day of the week and recently have had the "Blue Star" in the System Tray after initial install with Nlite, RyanVM, Bashrat drivers with a NEW SER # during install. I add all the programs the client needs and then I "Activate Windows". You then have to goto Microsoft and "WGA Activate", the Blue Star goes away. The above leaves nothing in the system tray. Did you goto Microsoft's web site and do the WGA fully ?????
  9. As far as I know, there are three (3) version of IE7 B2 There is a 32 bit XP version, a Windows Server 2003 32 bit version, and a combined 64bit XP & server 2003 version. Did you get the correct one ?????
  10. Try this, it works really well and it's free. http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html
  11. Sound A is now working. Still getting a 404 error on LAN Sorry to bug you
  12. Getting a 404 error on the following: LAN Sound A Thanks for your great work.
  13. The biggest, best and quietest Fan/Heatsink is: Zalman CNPS7700-CU Copper CPU Fan For LGA775/Socket478/939 Huge copper heatsink and a 120mm fan $40 - $47 I use these for my own machines and for clients Servers
  14. Are you using an SIS 661 Chipset ? Are you using Bashrat's drivers ? If the above is true then it is a problem with one of the driver packs I am in the middle of sending a bunch of stuff to the author.
  15. The old motto still applies: Try BEFORE you buy I have used Driverpacks for a couple of months and am about to donate. I tried it first. Please note I tested it for some time first and never found any of the problems you seem to be having. Just created four DVD's all working flawlessly with the exception of SIS 661 chipsets (Bash is looking into this) While I realise you subscribed, please do not diss the author without trying ro resolve the problem first. Every programmer has errors/bugs in the code and we pay good money for those bugs to Microsoft or Symantec. Bash writes this stuff for the users of this board and most of the time does not get paid for it, would you do that.
  16. FYI I will answer my own question: Turns out the problem is the FULL/BIG version of Trend Antivirus Suite If the suite is turned ON = NO Network links. If the suite is turned OFF = Everything works fine. There is probably some Trend setting that allows the Network to operate, not my problem, the laptop owner can figure that one out. Hope this helps someone in the future.
  17. I have a friends new HP laptop with Dual Core, 17" LCD, SATA HD, Wireless, etc., NICE Problem is: Can go out on the Intenet with Wired 10/100 but when I try to link to a known working peer to peer network I cannot see any drives. When I try to map a drive it shows the Workgroup and that's all it does. Have checked the Worgroup name and it is the same. I plug my laptop in and everythings works as expected. Never experienced anything like this. Any ideas
  18. Try using Google, this was the first hit. Google search criteria:= Excel dropdown menu http://www.excel-vba.com/excel-drop-down-lists.htm http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=excel...G=Google+Search Hope this helps. Google is a wonderful resource, try it ??
  19. Ignore the above. I put the wrong freakin DVD in. Removing Drivers Pack A did NOT make any difference. BSOD with the same error.
  20. HWIDS attached Screwd up. Read the next post. If you need anything else tested, let me know. hwids.txt
  21. Had the same problem with Gigabyte GA-8S661FXM-775 & Foxconn 661FX7MF also 775 pin Error code: Stop: 0x0000007B (0xF78E0528, 0x00000034,0x00000000,0x00000000) I will load XP the normal (slow) way and send HWID's Used a clean XP Home SP2 file set, integrated RyanVM 2.06 with Nlite 1.08. Installed all your driver packs. Created an ISO image with Nlite. Works fine with other chipsets Anything else you need to diagnose the problem
  22. With the help of all you guys I figured it out. Look for KB907265. It reinstalls MMC.EXE and a couple of other files. Everything works, YEEH Thanks for all your help and I hope this answer helps others.
  23. Thanks for the tips Jeremy. I have just downloaded Dial-A-Fix and will try it on this box. Client is to tight to buy anything else. Remember, user is a four letter word !!! Did not find any Virus's or Spyware. I gave the FULL error, the heading is "MMC.EXE - Entry point not found"
  24. When I start Defrag I get the following message: The procedure entry point ?PickIconDig@@YGHPAUHWND_@@PAGIPAH@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library mmcbase.dl I have searched Microsft's Knowledge Base, useless. Anyone ever seen this, I have 3 PC's having the same problem. XP Home SP2
