There have been quite a few questions lately on clearing CMOS passwords and easy formatting/partitioning. This freeware claims to do both, I have not tried it yet as my test system currently has no FDD and I am too cautious to run it on my main setup. Could be a very handy tool though Quote: A...

I have posted this to the Win 2000 forum without result so will try here. I have a user with a new Sony CRX 175A1 burner in a P4 running Win 2000 pro SP2.

I have been running an XP RC version on a test machine for some months. I have used both FAT32 & NTFS and can see little difference. Maybe NTFS is fractionally slower. I am about to install a retail version of XP Pro on my main system and would appreciate anybodies comments on which file system...

I am trying to assist a Win ME user who has a problem with his drop down menus (File, Edit, etc). Instead of appearing instantly they open extremely slowly, opening down and to the right. This is happening in all MS Office programs but not, as far as I can see, anywhere else on the system...

There is a conflict between the POP3 Scan in Trend Micro's PC-cillin and Eudora which resets the POP and SMTP servers to localhost, also changes the User name. I believe this also happens with McAfee and Norton virus scanners. Neither Qualcomm or Trend Micro are any help, each basically blaming...

I have an Epox EP-MVP4M mobo, onboard sound and video, K611 400 CPU, Win 98 SE. This system becomes unstable if more than 64K RAM is fitted. Lock ups, BSOD and spontaneous reboots occur. These do not occur immediately but after at least 30 mins of use. CPU temp is OK (Approx 43c). Several RAM...
