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...

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...

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?

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...

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...

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...

On my old computer I jumped the memory from 128 megs to 512 megs and didn't get any increase in speed. But when I added a faster drive I got a big jump in speed. I really believe in drive speed. Now am going to buy a new computer from my white box man. He offers EISA 10,000 rpm drive; Ultra ATA...

Occasionally when I click on a database to start dBase and use the database I get this: Compiling line 1 (shows some high asci chrs like spades or faces; they are apt to be different next time used) Error on line 1: *** Unrecognized command verb Error on line 6: Line exceeds maximum of 1024...

Often I search fields for a word, using this way: List for 'the word'$fieldname. That does not work in memo fields. Could you give me the correct way to write such a search for a memo field? Thanks. Am using dbase4 for Dos.

My SCSI orb hard drive specs show much faster burst mode than regular speed. I don't understand this burst mode concept, as presume it always turns 5400 rpm. And is there a way to get burst mode more of the time by buying something else to help the drive?

I have a windows 95 computer with a partition running 95SE and a partition running 98SE. I have always left USB turned off. The local cable company is offering 1 MHerz cable modem for free this month. They prefer to hook it up USB and Win98. Tried to turn on USB in 98 with my 98 CD and it...

Using dbase4 I can print to my Lexmark laser a "list" command, but when stepping through the database to print selected records, turning print off and on in the program, the "print buffer" shows on the printer but goes away without doing it. Has set on LPT1, RAW, Spool, Delay...

At home, I have several computers of various ages, each of which offer much different features I want. But I have no room for several computer stands. KVM seems the obvious solution, stacking the towers and using one stand. But I have been unable to find anyone whe ever saw or tried that...

Maybe I am expecting too much. Have a database that will accept a picture field. When I enter a picture there by Ole, I want it to sit quietly in the little box, but if clicked, to pop up to the 600x800 size it was saved earlier. I did this, and it worked just as a wanted for a time or so. Now...

I use dos dbaseiv and have written a huge database with several fields. I have 800x600 bit .jpg pictures relating to many of the subjects discussed. I have a windows database that reads my dos database and allows pictures. But: They are clear only if small .bmps. They make the screen crowded...

Using dbase IV 2.0 I can list for 'word I'm looking for'$memofieldname. But the similar situation, looking to find all memofields that contain data, List for memofieldname > ' ' gives "data type error". Could you suggest how to word this search better so as not to get the error?

I am very happy with Win95, but when an update required Win98, I used system commander to divide C: and put part with each operating system(95,98) and have used that for a while. But S.C. put Win98 in a partition formatted as fat. There is a Win98 convert-to-fat32 program in Accessories, and I...
