Older than dirt me is.

I am switching to Trillian PRO ASAP. Thanks All

yep, its called format c: LOL There was a batch proggie for that somewhere here on MSFN a while back. A desktop shortcut could be created, etc. I think I saw one at tucows or a shareware site.

I am tired of the constant updates and everything in general. What is compatiable with Windows Messenger?

Buy a stand alone machine that plays and copies with a PC interface. Then your TV and PC are connected to the machine.

Hey, he is an Eagle Scout, has a girlfriend, and still found the time to do all that. I read that article over a month ago and was impressed with his determination and drive to go beyond the norm. Most Cool

Tinker, do you mean that the BIOS or Windows does not detect the HDs? First step in detecting the hard drive(s) is through the BIOS 'automatic' HD settings( of course you know that). Manual settings cab be unreliable on 'some older mobos, but I know you have the new Intel mobo, so that is not a concern. What is a concern is maybe the mobo is defective! Easy way to be sure is to watch the cold boot settings. If the result is "Not Found" (depends on your BIOS manufacturer for the terminology) then I would suspect a faulty BIOS or faulty onboard IDE controller. Maybe setting the BIOS to default settings and tweaking it afterwards will find a solution. Wish I was there to experiment with it. It is possible to Flash the BIOS and sometimes a faulty Flash will setup just fine, but actually have faults. A new Flash may be in order? Now if the four HDs are the only devices on the two IDE channels then they all should be deteced by the BIOS. Do you have any other devices sharing the two channels? What about the CD-ROM drive, etc? How are they configured? I know you have them on a controller card now - but how were they configured before? But, you did the right thing in the long run, a 133 controller card is what I would use for anything with more than two HDs. Connecting the CD-ROM, CD-Writer, DVD Player, etc to the two primary IDE channels does free up some data paths and keeps it all free of congestion or bottleknecks. Controller cards can cost as little as $15.00 if you shop around and thats a small price to pay for optimal performance. Hey bro, sell em and get SCSI

MSNwar I did not do an on-line compare. Those are the reports for the on system test. What are the advantages of the on-line compare? Is this just one way that 3D Mark can hassle you to buy there product? OK, OK......... Tinker's Score Tinker, I believe the reason is so that all things are considered equal.

hey Lezend, cool sig

Cool!

Ha, Pia show us your bulges Afraid?

Tinker, what is the url for the compare please?

and where the unit is only 6 months old. Is there dust buildup inside the case, are you running the rig without the case, is it on carpet where a vacuum cleaner moves dust into the case? Even a new PC can get dirty inside if any of the above conditions are true. Is it running hot?

That is a very nice photo Lynchknot. Wish I had that much room in my home office Are you using a MAC?

The way I see it and correct me if I am wrong please is that everytime you do a windows update the registry will be examined for changes that indicate a cracked key? Then the user receives a message that the OS is invalid (something to that affect) and WHAM dead in the water? If true, then what is the point of running a cracked OS. I mean it is the OS afterall. Not like Adobe where you could operate your PC without it. Yep, Linux looks better all the time.

arse. lol Personally, I have been using that term most of my life. That is a long time since I am older than dirt. Yes, it is an odd term for 'most' Americans. Sometimes my 'mates' look at me funny when I use it. Really, I just never gave it a second thought. lol. Oh, I am presently d/ling "a** Worship 2, On Your Knees". Maybe I should rename it to "ARSE Worship 2, On Your Knees"? "Bollox" is a new word to me. Also, llama. Just an old man trying to keep up with you young studs

Hey, the admins or mods are editing the score summary! You guys are really gonna p*** him off you know.

duh my arse Tris. How am I supposed to know everyone's email addresses. lol Cmon €L1T€, prove it with a verifiable email address, you have been contested. Time to Walk-The-Walk guys. Happy now?

Thats nice lynchknot. Very colorfull. You are really good at this stuff

Seditive, Shhh, She might hear you Pia, doesn't mind, she lets me look, but NO TOUCH! LOL

Q. What is a page file? A. paging file A hidden file on the hard disk that Windows uses to hold parts of programs and data files that do not fit in memory. The paging file and physical memory, or RAM, comprise virtual memory. Windows moves data from the paging file to memory as needed and moves data from memory to the paging file to make room for new data. Paging file is also called a swap file. Have you deleted all the temporary internet files and cookies stored on your computer? - In IE 6 click Tools > Internet Options. - Select the second option "Temporary Internet Files". - Click two tabs, Delete Cookies and Delete Files. Hope this helps ... Let us know
