Legacy Operating Systems

I want to uninstall my network card driver completely. I am using Win XP, I go to my device manager and uninstall the driver from there but when I reboot my system Windows loads the driver again. Is there some way that I could completely uninstall the driver and it doesn't get loaded when the system restarts?

I've read in this newsgroup that Windows should be reinstalled about every 2 years. As I wrote in earlier posts, the floppy drive on my computer has a problem--I think it's the controller--so I can't use a boot disk. The question is, after reformatting the hard drive, can Windows be installed from the cd without installing the cd drivers from the Win98SE boot disk? -- { : [|]=( DaffyD® If I knew where I was I'd be there now.

Hi all ! I'm trying out the new firefox 3.01 and have found out that this version has an annyoing limit of "one file at a time from one site" ! In other words, if there are like 20 files from a site, and I want to download them all using FireFox 3.01, I have to download the first file, wait until it is finish, before the second file is downloaded, and so on, and so forth !! Is there a way to enable FireFox to download _more_ than one file at the same time from a single site ??? Please help !! Thank you !!

Hi all. I have a windows 2000 server with sp4. It is my sql production server used by my company. SQL service use up 1.3GB++ ram base on my check on task manager. Services.exe use up about 400+MB ram which i find it unusual. My users are complaining their applications which connect to my sql server is very slow. I suspect it is caused by high mem utilization as free memory available can go as low as 10MB. I have checked the internet and have installed debug diagnostic tool on my server but do not know how to use it to check if there is something wrong with services.exe. Pls advise how i can use this tool or if there are better alternatives. Thks in advance…

We use ntbackup to back up our server each night. Normally this works fine but since introducing a remote access solution for staff it seems that if staff leave a server based program open on their workstations the backup system doesn't back the files up. This is beginning to get problematic as some important data is being excluded from the backup. Other than trying to make sure that staff close programs is there anything else I can do to make sure that the data is backed up successfully? Is there a way of automatically closing programs at a certain time? thanks in advance.

I have looked at the third party printing solutions but I am unable to find if they support Dymo and Seiko Label printers. Did I miss something or should they work?

I installed an Hauppauge WinTV HVR-4000 pci board in my AMD 3000+ XP x64 pc, all the driver and software installation goes well. Digital tv and radio channels are ok (still to try sat has I need a cable) but I have problem with analog tv and radio channels, the audio is scattered and cpu goes high in this situation. Seems to me strange that digital channels are ok, where analog gives problem, so I think I should update some driver or codec, how do you suggest to proceed? May it be an hardware fault or incompatibility? There is no audio cable, audio goes directly to the pci bus, the four tuners of this board use a new technique that digitizes all the signal t…

Hi all: Trying to do a fresh install on an older Thinkpad Laptop. It's a IBM Thinkpad 2647-AMU with the following specs: PIII 700MHz (256KB), 256MB RAM, 12.0GB HDD, 14.1 TFT 1024x768 LCD, 6x-2.3x DVD drive, 3Com combo Setup hangs with either 35 or 34 minutes to go. It's got to be some hardware issue and I was just wondering if anybody knew offhand what it is. Thanks Tom Young

I finally got my bios to recognise the new HD by disabling the Promise drivers and making sure the SATA drivers were loaded. I am trying to load Windows XP on it as a clean install. But I am running into a bunch of errors that stop the installation and cannot find them discussed in the MS knowledgebase. I have both an OEM version of XP Pro, and aftermarket XP home and Pro. I have tried using both, with similar problems. It would make more sense if I got the same error message each time, but no! Ideas please? With the OEM disc: 1st try: File pci.sys is corrupted 2nd try:File intelide.sys is corrupted 3rd try: File \i386\ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded. …

Hi there My PC has a removable HD Caddy, so I can use other OS. I thought that I would upgrade, and put in a Maxtor DiamondMax 320Gb SATA drive, to use as extra storage, accessible for all the various OS. Windows Vista can see and use it, without me needing to do anything, and also Ubuntu 8. Win XP 64 Pro cannot see it. On boot up, if I look in the SATA bios, the HD is listed, but I cannot do anything as nothing is ‘highlighted.’ But I don’t think this would solve the problem. I have an Optronix MB OP-K9A8PRO-ALF, chipset Via K8T800Pro+VT8237 with an AMD 64 3500, and 2Gb Ram. The Optronix CD is no help, and the company seem to have disappeared now. I co…

Once upon a time my desktop icons had no color background for names so the text appeared to be floating on the wallpaper, rather than on a solid color (Appearance/advanced/icon - both item and font color were grayed out) I only want a color back for selected items. Is there a reg key that will reset it? Thanks

The file types of media files on my PC have got mixed up. Most media files on my PC now have the Winamp filetype as their icon in Windows Explorer, even though they do not open in Winamp when you double click on them by default. In addition, in the 'File Type' section of Explorer, all of these files are listed as 'Winamp Media File', even though they are associated with other programs, such as WMP9 and flvPlayer. How can I put this right? Thanks

I have a .gif file which, when "dragged", to a printer prints correctly as an image. When I attempt to get the same result from a batch file using: "print /d:printername file." I get garbage output. When I omit the printer name argument I get a dialog asking several irrelevant things. What I want to do is accomplish the same result as the drag-and-drop operation did in a batch file (i.e. the correct printing of the .gif file as the image it represents).

Hi, I'm stumped by a networking issue I'm hoping someone can help with. I have a Windows XP Pro (SP2) computer connected to the internet via a D- Link 524 Wireless router and a cable modem connection. I also have a VoIP phone adaptor connected to the same router. Here's the problem. For some reason the VoIP phone adaptor connects to the internet just fine, however the computer does not. The router's address is 192.168.0.1 The computer gets an IP of 192.168.0.100 (assigned by DHCP). I have verified that the computer's default gateway is set to 192.168.0.1. If I ping yahoo.com, it resolves the correct address 206.190.60.37 but is unable to ping yahoo.com …

My Plan To build a new and better computer for my Digital Photography. So far I have made a tentative decision to use an Intel S5000XVNSATA motherboard with a Xenon 5130 Processor. I will start out with 8GB of memory. Also I will install/use the Windows XP Pro 64 Bit Operating System. My Epson printer has a 64 bit driver available. Is all the above feasable? Thanks for any assistance Bob AZ

hi. please help... everytime I reboo the computer, I have this error message window: "error loading C:/program~1...... the specied module could not be found". I've already unchecked it on "msconfig" and on the c:/. And I went to the "add or remove programs", it's listed there, I tried to remove it but I still have the exact same error message. This happened after I ran a virus scan. How can I get rid of that start up error message? I'm using winXP SP2. Thanks very much in advance.
