Error Alert? 1 2
by Guest Angel- 32 replies
- 1.8k views
Hi everyone, I was on the 'net and I received this pop up. It said to the effect Error alert. I think that is what it said at the top. A window popped up wanting me to download a registry cleaner. I click the close and then a gray box that wanted me download a program with an ok button and all the buttons at top were grayed out you could not close. I was not about to do it. I then did the Ctrl-Alt-Del and got it out that way. This happened a couple of times in 2 days. I had just opened a newsletter from a site I trusted and went to the website and shortly got that. I then unsubscribed the newsletter. Did it come from the website or someplace else? What else …

IDE_USB

The IDE drive is from a laptop and runs with the USB cable power. I can hear the drive running when I hook it up. It was working on the laptop before. I have seen the Disk management but nothing there. The problem seems to be that the windows fails to install the new hardware. It gives me message that recognised "USB-IDE" then as "USB Mass Storage " then it pops up saying "Failed to install new hardware" reason being that device is not recognised. I dont know how to solve it.

My Documents folder is gone!
by Guest tlotzerguard-usergroups@yahoo.com- 2 replies
- 413 views
I hid "My Documents" and the "Windows" folders on a Slave Partition (G:) on my HP at home, then told the Tools: FolderOptions: View to "Do not show Hidden files or folders". The problem is when I told it to "Show hidden file/folders", they are still invisible. Matter of fact all of folders I set to Hidden attribute are hidden also. I did a DIR in DOS and it could see the hidden folders, but I can't find a DOS command to switch a folder attribute to UnHide. The DOS command ATTRIB only works on files, though, I'm not positive on that one. I was going to make a new directory to copy the contents of the "My Documents" folder and subfolders to, but I ran a pro…

please help - CD writer has suddenly stopped writing
by Guest matthewsarler@yahoo.com- 1 reply
- 313 views
Last night I put a blank CD in my CD writer and tried to copy some files to it. I got the message: 'access denied - make sure the disc is not full or write-protected'. When I clicked on Properties, it showed the disc as full, even though it was fresh out of the box. I tried another new disc and got the same thing. I'm wondering if this has anything to do with something I did recently. I was having trouble ripping CD's to MP3 using Exact Audio Copy (dropouts of a fraction of a second every so often), and someone advised me to 'enable DMA', by checking the DMA box in the Control Panel dialogue box for the writer. It made no difference to the ripping problem so I…

DVD burner with Win98FE?
by Guest Dee- 12 replies
- 636 views
I always assumed I couldn't install a DVD burner on my Win98 First Edition machine because every burner I looked at in stores "required" Win98 Second Edition. Then it occurred to me that maybe it's just the bundled software that required SE and it was not some limitation inherent in FE that wouldn't allow a burner to work. So is it true that I could install a burner and use some free software, such as DeepBurner or Express Burn, that works with Win98FE? Thanks, Dee

My 1999 dell computer chokes when trying to connect to the Internet. This started about two months ago, I use Dial-up networking and I have to redial up to 6 times before it will connect. I get the following: Disconnected from AT&T Dial-UP Networking was unable to complete the connection Error: 629 You have been disconnected from the computer you dialed. Double-click the connection to try again. I stopped all virus and pop-up stoppers, tried different access numbers and called AT&T (India) multiple times over a 2 month period. Basically they said my modem drivers are out of date and I should contact Dell for an update. Dell said I have the latest dr…
