Hey there people. I'm just wondering if any of you have done anything to solve something like that.

I have a pretty old game that runs in DOS, which is fine in win98.
I'm just wondering if there is any possibility to run the game in
WinXP. I tried the compatibility mode, but that didn't seem to ...

WinRAR is shareware
$30 a license I think

I believe I remember that WinAce.com offers a freeware program that will extract .ace files
It wouldn't work for me that one time though, so I don't know how effective it is.

I get the feeling that he may be looking for a FTP Client instead of a server. Serv-U is definitely a FTP server I would recommend.
Ease of use and powerful features is what I like about Serv-U

I have set up a Temp folder on another partition and was wondering if anyone knew how to set windows to put all the TEMP files in that folder instead of the usually C:\windows\Temp

I think I remember it got something to do with the registry, but I'm not positive.
Any advice would be helpful.

Go there and see if their Simple DNS Server is what your looking for.

Do you mean you want it to update the TAGs when your playing songs off a CD?
If that is the case, your probably blocking Winamp from accessing the database from the net or the database is down.
Or if you just want to edit the tag
right click the song in the playlist and select File Info

Sid's saying USB isn't supported by DOS (Nice one Sid!

)
Just make the image, put it on a partition on the hard drive
then burn it on a CD from within windows.

Try that SVO-1
It might be what your looking for without the adware stuff.
I believe Winboost also had an option on changing the IE background too if you just feel like downloading winboost instead.

Hey there
do you know of any things that would prevent RASpppoe from installing properly?
When I try installing it, it popups an error saying "There is no information with your hardware in the configuration file."
Any Idea what that means and why it happens?

phenix0000

Well first off, the program looks better than Notepad!

Then in the settings you can set a external viewer (like a browser)
so you just open HTML source code and launch the viewer to view your page.

It comes in very handy.
It's got a lot of other features too
get it at http://www.liquidninja.com ...

If there is no software, it's about the same size as your basic windows OS after you installed windows.

I make my own resumes using Notepad.
I make them in HTML
It's not so hard, just emulate the look of a resume.

Plus, it's free! (Personally, I use Metapad - a notepad replacement.)

phenix0000

So what is it that you want to do?
Make it so it doesn't show it in multicolumns?

phenix0000

You can't delete the favorite folder from windows explorer.
You must go into the registry and edit a setting in there somewhere. I forgot which one exactly. I'll find it and get back to you.
Or you can message one of 'em spammers on SG.

Go download speed tools from http://www.speedcorp.net/tools/

Install the program and try the default settings.
Then go test your connection on the TCP/IP tester on SG homepage.

O!
I thought you wanted to STOP it from updating!

Nice to know you got it figured out.

phenix0000

Thanks for the speedy replies.

I got a tweaked win98 machine so I'm not worried about resources, just trying to get more speed outta my DSL.

Seems like I'm already tweaked to the max then.

Thanks again people!

what do you mean by using your own picture?

do you mean a global change of a kind of files's icon picture?

Hey people.
I'm just wonder is RASpppoe faster than Enternet on win98.
I"m currently using Access Manager from Sympatico which is a customized version of Enternet.

I read about RASpppoe and it seems pretty nice. :)
Just wondering if it would be worthwhile to switch to RASpppoe from Enternet.

If you were using IE, then your download was saved to the folder
C:\windows\msdownld.tmp\

It is a temporary place that IE places files into before it is done downloading it.

It is also hidden so people won't see it unless they "show all files" in explorer

That's another reason y I don't use IE ...

The auto-update feature is hard-coded into Morpheous and you can't stop it.
It uses the server that logs you in to update, so you can't block it even with a firewall.
You either get the update or you can't use Morpheous.

If you want to disable popups, you should get K-Meleon off http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/

In the preferences, you can disabled popups on load and unload of a page.

Or if you want to kill popups with other browers like IE, get KillAd at http://wwwwin.wplus.net/pp/fsc/

Is your connect DSL or cable?

if it's DSL, try this URL

It talks about a Interleaved mode that can slow down DSL.

Hope you find it useful!

just go to DOS and start up Fdisk.
Answer Yes to Large Disk support and it'll have 4 options
read the options and play around.
Make sure you already backed up though
Fdisk might delete your partitions

What do you mean by that?

Norm has a pretty good guide on how to (re)format and install.
Ask one of them regulars for the link to it.

Sorry people, if you PMed me about the program, PM me again
my browser kept crashing and I had to log in again and again, and I lost all the emails of the people that wanted the program.

Lobo, the only thing that I can say to that is: the list COULD be wrong.

Did you even try DAP for yourself ...

Try searching for Dap in the software forum, it's a old old thread, but Norm himself have stated that DAP isn't spyware, in fact, he uses DAP....

I use a more secure alternative to deleting the recent files list in Windows Media Player.

Wow, people here must love to backup the registry, judging by the number of posts in this thread.

Personally, I never backup my registry, I just use Regcleaner and Norton Utilities System Check to clean my registry after I uninstall a program.

All those instructions seems to me very complicated.

I believe you can Reinstall WinME again ontop of your Windows folder and then delete the window000 folder.

That should keep all you settings in place.

Try it first BEFORE you delete any folder though, so in case it doesn't work, you haven't lost anything.

phenix0000

Thank you all for the generous suggestions.

I think I will try Netmeeting first and then NetSupport.
I was aware of the winXP feature, but I don't think I want to install another OS.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any program that lets a person VIEW the other person's computer screen over the net.

I need a program of this type cuz many of my friends and relatives often come ot me for help on computer and it would be a LOT easier to see what their doing on their computer ...

phenix0000

I had that problem before as well!

I usually just do a "view source" on the page containing the QuickTime movie, then I use Getright or Download Accelerator Plus to download it to my hard drive.

In the source of the page, look for a references to a .mov file.

Hope this helps ya!

What kind of tools are you looking for exactly and what version of windows?

For regular maintenance of windows I would suggest Norton Utilties, they got versions for both win9x and win2000, so it'd be a safe bet that it'll run on your computer.
