I have Vista ultimate 64 installed finally and functional and rock solid. To do that I had to scrap a Nvidia 7600 GS for an ATI card. the ATI card is a discard from a friend and not as good as I would like. Are there any ideas for a AGP card that only uses one slot. All I lost going from xp pro 32 to Vista ultimate 64 were 2 scanners Nikon does not support a film scanner in 64 bit, and Microtek said the same thing. For 5700 scanner Solved by moving to another computer that is networked. I did try VMware and was able to get 5700 to network but for the same grief moving to another computer is just as easy. My printers Epson 3800 has all drivers and in…

In Windows 98, how do I turn on automatic logon in windows 98 using regedit?

I have heard that M$ is promoting Silverlight as cross platform. Is it including Win 98 as a cross platform system?

Running Win98 (NOT SE). While reinstalling the Dial Up Networking and Server, I accidentally overwrote a newer file with an older one. (I said No instead of Yes.) Didn't catch the filename so it's gone. How can I find out and update that file? I tried "Windows Update" which worked last time I tried, even long after MS stopped supporting or updating Win98. Is there now no way to bring Win98 up to date (as of 2006 or whenever they stopped)? Harvey

Recently, I installed a new firewire hard drive (ide)enclosure. XP found the SDP2 for it, the drive and so forth. However, its found one thing that I cannot locate drivers for, and, I have no clue what it is. The errant unknown entry begins as "WDC_______HID" Yes, the hard drive is a Western Digital. The enclosure is USB2/firewire, am using firewire. I even went as far as doing a clean XP install. Same problem. Additionally, I select to not bother me about this hardware again. Next time I turn on the enclosure, same screen wanting to install the HID device. -- Dave

My laptop doesn't recognize my printer via the usb ports. I was trying to install a printer and i changed something about the ports in the device managger (i dont remember what) and after that I've been unable to use the usb port for printing purpose. but they still work for the other devices (scanner, external HD, etc). I uninstalled all the printers and try to reinstall my hp laserjet 1018 but at the end of the process it state " an error ocurred during the instalation of the device. The specified port is unknown".

I have been having an issue with a Terminal Server in a Small Business Server Standar Edition Environment. I have attached the Terminal Server as instructed to the Domain. First created the Server and then ran the connect computer via IE. It worked fine. Original problem was related to Terminal Server slow performance. We upgraded the Server from 4 GB of RAM to a hefty 12 GB of RAM. I know the limitation of the $ GB in a 32 bit environment but I figured that it would allow a better performance - since it never hurst to have plenty of RAM. The server is a dual Xeon processor and so far I have tried making changes and tweaks to the registry to see i…

Win XP Pro w/SP2. My taskbar always showed the applications that were running until a couple of days ago. Then it will no longer show the application that is running. BUT I can get to them by pressing Alt + Tab. This is much more difficult to use than just clicking on the Icon in the taskbar. I tried 7 times to restore my PC to a previous point but it failed on all 7 tries. Can anyone please tell me how to get the taskbar to show the programs that are running on the PC? Thanks in advance for any help. JungleJim -- Jungle Jim

Hello everyone, I am working with a client to upgrade their Windows 2000 based network to Windows 2008. I am a bit constricted on the number of servers that I can have and had to make certain sacrifices forcing me to run Terminal Services on a Windows 2008 Domain Controller. I realize that's not recommended practice, but it's better then running a DC on a heavily used SQL and Apps server. I ran adprep with /forestprep and /domainprep /gpprep switches on the Windows 2000 AD environment successfully. I was able to add a Windows 2008 DC that will also be the new Terminal Server. The dcpromo process completed successfully. Dcdiag and manual che…

Hi Suddenly some websites are hardly readable, the font seems to be changed and I can only read it if I chose (very) lager characters or set zoom to 150%. Before this sudden change there was no problem. I can't thinks of any changes I made to the system in between, though there might have been a windows crash. The wiki site is one of the sites with this problem (http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoofdpagina). Using Firefox3 on the same computer shows the same site in perfect condition. I run winxp sp3 with ie7 (latest updates). Thanks for reading. Gerard Verhoef

I'm using the camera wizard to transfer JPGs from my camera's compact flash card (using a USB card reader) to my PC's hard disk (XP SP2). The speeds I get are slow, around 10 Mbs (looks like USB 1.1). However, if I open a DOS window, and use the "copy" command, I get over 100 Mbs. Also, if I use Adobe Bridge to copy from the card reader, I get over 100 Mbs. My BIOS is all setup for USB 2.0. Any ideas why the wizard is so slow?

I am trying to Reinstall XP, i cannot find the so called 386 Directory (Folder) on my Hard Disk. This is an HP Pavillion desktop and XP came preinstalled and i did not get a CD. I have the XP cd key.

Ive also tried hitting f10 during boot up which shows as the key to enter recovery mode but i just get beeping sound and every time I press it and it does nothing but boot up as normal.How can i reinstall it.
