Vince is right...the Win98 re-install isn't the problem. I have DSL, she's got dial-up. I wanted to get all the Windows Updates, plus other programs like MSN Messenger and Yahoo Messenger, along with a couple games and other programs . If I had it all set up beforehand, she wouldn't have to mess...

I need to make a full restore Win98se CD to send to a friend who has a computer that is identical to mine (HP Vectra 300Mhz). I bought a couple of these at a company auction and fixed one up and sent it to her, but it caught a virus and messed up everything. My intention is to set up Win98 on...

I've read other posts that said having an antenna in the attic will cut the incoming signal strength by as much as 50%...so you'd be getting close to the fringe as you have it set up now. Also, each splitter on the line will decrease the signal by about 3dB, so that doesn't help either. Plus, I...

Doesn't appear so...the manuals make no mention of being able to assign different remote codes to the players. I just thought I'd take a chance and ask in case someone would know otherwise. Jeff

Yeah, I figured that's how it was....just thought maybe someone had a tweak to somehow get around it...other than masking tape :) Thanks, tho...

I have 2 Sony DVD players (7000 and 330) at the same location. Is there any way I can control these independently with the same universal remote? I looked through the manuals to see if I could change the remote address of the players, but didn't find anything about it. Thanks, Jeff

Jerry, If you happen to be left with just a dish and lnb when you're done selling, please let me know. JL

Never mind... After doing a bit of research, it appears it's nearly impossible to get DirectTivo service in a NRTC area. Unless you don't mind jumping through a few hoops and getting a bit creative with the truth about where you live. JL

Does anyone know if this offer would also apply to an area served by Pegasus (NRTC)? I didn't see anything on the DirectTV site with a disclaimer to that effect. Also, can you elect to install yourself, or must you set up an installation appointment? Thanks, JL

Agree with Rob...Safe Mode is the way to go when defragging in Windows. JL

I might have a chance at a used Lehman Black Cube for $320. They say it's the 'improved' one, and I'm assuming that means it has the power supply upgrade. Think that's a decent deal? JL

Michael, I am definately hooked on vinyl. Even tho I sometimes get to the point of pulling out hair with messing with my Rega, I still enjoy hearing my lp's. There are so many subtle things going on, I can't help but smile when I hear something I missed before. And I noticed my tolerance for...

Thanks Jeremy, I'll check into it. Just what I need...more ways to spend money. Oh, well. Can't take it with you, right? One thing, tho...that upgrade they talk about on the Denon site seems to be an upgrade to an already upgraded 5800. So there are actually 2 upgrades to be done to the...

Jeremy, I never got the upgrade for the Denon. I don't frequent the forums regularly and had no idea there was one available until just recently. I wrote to Denon to see if it was at all possible to still get it done, but haven't heard back from them. What exactly was the upgrade for and how...

First of all, thanks to all who responded...I appreciate all your comments. I really don't mean this to turn into a cd vs. vinyl thread, but I feel I have to comment on a couple things. Arthur S: I *think* the 5800 bypasses the digitizing circuit when using it in Direct mode, passing it...

I've just started getting back into vinyl after 20 or so years. I just got a Rega P3 2000 turntable with an Audio Technica AT440ML cartridge on a RB300 arm a few weeks ago, which I'm running through the phono input of my Denon 5800. The Rega seems to be a fussy table, but I've done some tweaks...

You say your hard drive is big enough, but how full is it? Do you have more than one partition on it, and if so, is the partition you are saving photos to getting filled up? If you have plenty of room, before you do anything else, try defragging your drive and see if things improve at all for...

If you want a simple cleaning solution for vinyl records, just use distilled water (steam distilled is best) with about 5%-10% isopropyl alcohol...go to your local drugstore and try to find at least the 91% isopropyl. Don't use the common 70%...it's not pure enough to be used on vinyl...too many...

Thanks for the tip, Chris. I sent the guy an email but he hasn't gotten back to me yet. Brian, I'll send you an email to discuss what you might want for it. Thanks JL

Anyone have 1 or 2 of these they don't need anymore? I'm looking for the 7800 model...the one with the 4 learning buttons on it. Or, if anyone knows of anywhere online where I can still purchase this remote, please let me know. Thanks... JL

If your motherboard has a built-in ethernet port, this setting is usually found in the bios, IF the motherboard supports this feature. You may find this mentioned also if you go into Device Manager and look at the properties of your network card. On my computer, under the 'Advanced' tab I have...

Also, don't forget to check out Dell's refurbished computers. Sometimes you can run across a pretty good deal there, especially when they offer their free shipping and so many $$$ off specials. But the inventory changes so much, and the deals never seem to run when you find a decent computer...

Would the "Wake On Lan" setting have anything to do with this? I never have used this, so I'm not sure what it all responds to, but seems it might come into play with an always on DSL connection....then again, maybe not. JL

Don't they have an exchange program for damaged or non-working disks? Making you pay another $36 to replace a recovery disk is just stupid. If you haven't already, I'd call HP Support and ask them about this. Then again, they'd probably charge you $36 for the tech support call, so that wouldn't...

Thanks for the responses. I was going to buy them for a friend that got DSL service, but it turns out he bought them from the phone co. already. They were charging $10 ea. for them before, but they finally wised up and lowered the price to $5 ea., so I guess he'll get by with those. I'll keep...

Anyone know of a good, cheap online source for phone line filters used with DSL service? I could get them from my phone company, but they want too much for them. Thanks. JL

The modem is probably set to use Comm 3...you can verify this by looking at the modem properties in device manager. If it is, it's just a matter of enabling Comm 3 again. If you look in device manager under 'Ports', is Comm 3 listed? If it has a red X in front of it, you should be able to...

This happened to me when I installed a new graphics card. It sounds like you're set up for using 2 monitors. It will display the desktop on one, and your taskbar/start menu on the other...or does it show the whole desktop on the other monitor...can't remember... Anyway, go into your display...

Speaking of Commodore 64's...I remember buying an external hard drive for my Amiga 500 back in 1989. $600 for 20 MEGAbytes. Hard to believe what I was thinking back then... JL

I did a quick Google search for "email auto reply", and came up with a few things, but nothing on the web that appears to be free. There is a service that will do it for $11.50 a month: IS&C If you're using Outlook 2000, you can download the trial version of ReplyMate Otherwise, it...
