    Default Mail Client

    I use the internet regularly with no problem. I send and get e-mail. All my internet settings are default. But when a program offers a link to their technical service, and I click on the link, I always get "Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly...

    CD Drive Won't Open

    My CD drive sometimes opens with the button and also with the right-click eject command. Other times it doesn't open. I can uninstall and reinstall and it works a while. Had this problem with a Sony so replaced it with a NEC and having same problem. I figure some program is accessing it, but...

    What does message mean?

    I have a "reminder" .txt file that opens when I boot up my computer. It worked fine for months, but this week when I close it, after reading, I get the message: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." OK? That explanation is "over my head". Can someone say what it means in English?

    Keeping Program Menu Nice

    I now have an XP computer and prefer to use Classic start menu. In Win95 it was easy to keep "programs" menu under control by right clicking start\open\programs. For example if a program installed where you had to go through two directories popping out before you got to the program, the...

    Moving drive to XP Computer

    Bought all new adapters and cabling and the drive did install. Disk management showed working fine. And it did, I wrote and read from it all morning. Then shut down at noon. Tried to boot up at 1:00 and the computer said "boot error" and would not boot. Same error on repeated tries, then I...

    Moving drive to XP Computer

    One more think I just noticed. The disks that had been tried in the drive on XP will no longer work in the drives on Win95.

    Moving drive to XP Computer

    Had 3 SCSI orb drives on my Win95 computer.They worked beautifully. Hooked one to my XP computer via a SCSI to USB adapter and it worked, but was slower and sometimes had to be reinstalled. So bought an Adaptec AHA2940 SCSI board and installed it in the XP computer so the orb would run like on...

    Pasting Desired

    Clicking on the MS dos icon in upper left corner of the box gives a menu. One choice is copy enter. I have tried just copying and also using an enter. Then the menu gives the choice paste. When I click it I get "Clipboard is Empty.

    Pasting Desired

    Thank you both for writing, but win95 does it different or I'm too dumb. Hitting enter makes the selected area unselected. Can't find a place to choose Select All on my screen. Windows programs paste great to my fields but can't copy from the fields. When I "select" with curser, the dbase copy...

    Pasting Desired

    I know dBase DOS 4.2 is not an ole program. But I run it in a windows box, which gives some icons at the top. The Mark box works (you can select an area of type with mouse). The paste box works great. All that's lacking is the "copy" box not working. Anyone know a workaround, even if...
