Hi Folks

I am just about to get a DVD burner (LiteOn 8X/8X) & am wondering which format is the better one to use. Will everyone be read on any DVD rom machine, be it PC based or a home entertainment machine. What should I be aware of for maximum compatiblity. Thanks Ilmars

or is there a new faster standard coming soon (in the next couple or years)? I'm thinking about a D-Link DI-624, that you can firmware up to 108 mbs max, but is there something faster coming up ( I already have 802.11b). I know internet only comes so fast. Thanks Ilmars

I think I've heard of these apps before but don't recall any specific names. If I'm going to blow away an OS but don't want to hunt down all the drivers again, is there an app that will extract the drivers for use when needed after the fresh reinstall of the OS, be it 98/ME/2000/XP? Thanks Ilmars

In the old 98se Media Player (6) you could open lots of windows to play many different file in their own window but I can't seem to find this option in the new Media Player 9. Do I need some sort of tweak app? Thanks Ilmars

already deleted all the users? I had 1 user in win98 with a password. I deleted said user, however on startup it still comes to the "Enter Password " screen with NO user or anything, you can just cancel. What gives? Thanks Ilmars

Hi Folks I have a Kingston Data Traveler 128mb usb memory stick & I was just experimenting to see if I could boot from it. I have formated & sys'd it in Win98se & tried it in a Compaq D510 & D530 that boot from USB. They both see it because the boot process ends at no boot files on USB device. I ...

How do you get rid of your restore points, as in all or some or just one, can it be done...look I'm Dr. Suess. And what is the best amount of space to alot for the restore file (in System Properties). Where is that file, can it be cleared? Thanks, as always, for the input.

I tried a few & BadCopy Pro 3.60 worked like a CHARM!!!

If I have a PC that is being wiped (Win98, actually has been wiped, using recovery prog), which file do I get to transfer the the in/out box etc. to another PC & where are they. Thanks Ilmars

I'm running Easy CD 5 & I accidentally deleted a file ( with many files inside; 150MB) from a CDRW formated with Direct CD. I haven't written anything esle to the CDRW yet so I'm sure it's still there. What are some programs I can use to retrieve it? Thanks Ilmars

ilmars

Thanks for the input. Much to think about. Happy holidays everyone. Ilmars

Hi gang A very happy holiday to ALL!!! My inlaws just got my 7 year old an XBox, which he thinks is great of course. But they say they could change it for a Play Station 2 if we so desire. I know there's lots more games for the Play Station 2 (it also takes Play Station 1 games) and with that ...

ilmars

Thanks...some great stuff at "xxxinternals" but pricey, for me. Ilmars

ilmars

Thanks, but these (XP ones) are just install disketts. I'd like something that will allow me to work within the NTFS, ie copy a file to or delete a dir from, like DOS. Thanks Ilmars

ilmars

Is there a way to make a boot disk for NTFS? Thanks Ilmars

ilmars

Thanks guys........good info! Ilmars

ilmars

Thanks Slickstuff. Anybody have any additional comments about the other things...... Thanks Ilmars

I have a great monitor, Viewsonic PF775, but if I run it at a higher refresh rate (120Hz instead of say 85Hz) do I put more ware on the monitor & shorten its useful life or does it run fine, no worries. I know that a faster refresh rate lessens the flicker but isn't 85Hz good for flicker? Are there ...

Pioneer DVD-114, 2 years old. It has no problem reading them in my other removable hard drives (w/ 98 & 2000). Ilmars

ilmars

I don't get it!!! I have made a bunch of CDR's with numerous apps/games/files in EasyCD5. But there are a few I left open so I could add stuff later. Well later came & I added stuff & then closed out the CD. Any & every PC I've tried them in has been fine, even really old CD drives. Enter XP. I ...

ilmars

Ya I guess it is. My cousin put it on & I dont need a CD for it. Ilmars

ilmars

It goes throught the very beginning of the patch and then it says I have to install Ghost Recon before installing the patch and it quits. Is it looking for it in a particular place or what, its there, but not in C. Where is the default, C:\Program Files\Red Storm Entertainment\Ghost Recon....right ...

ilmars

Thanks YOS .... A great link. Ilmars

If a power supply is completely out of the computer and not connected to the PC (the motherboard) & you plug it in to the wall, it won't crank up. I suppose that you must "jumper" a couple of the wires on the 20 pin connector. Which ones, so as to get it going to make sure it works? Thanks Ilmars

ilmars

Thanks Murman ..... perfect!

A computer that is suspect of having a virus is getting the new Norton Antivirus. But can I bring my updated virus definitions from my PC, the other one is having trouble getting on the net. Is there a particular file that holds them? Thanks Ilmars

ilmars

We put on the new version of Norton Antivirus & it repaired everything except a file called MTX_.EXE which it quarentined. I guess that's the virus. A question, if the older version of Antivirus was fully updated why couldn't it clean up everything. And what about those rescue disks, should you redo ...

ilmars

Hi I'm back. So I first tried the system.bak routine, but I couldn't get past the attrib-r-h step, it kept saying bad command. So then i did the rescue disk, but I was pretty sure that would be a no go & it was. Then I reinstalled & it worked until it booted into the rest of the IE download & the ...

ilmars

Thanks guys....thanks to all. I shall "goof around" with the great info & post later to tell you what happened. Ilmars

ilmars

Hi boys & girls...This guys computer is downloading an update for IE & it freezes partway through. After a reboot it goes to the NAV Auto-Protect dos window & says its unable to load. Then after an "enter" it goes to a blank (win default color) screen & an "explorer" illegal operation pops up. Also ...

I'm running EasyCD 5 Platinum, but I'm thinking of swiching to Nero, I've heard nothing but good things about it. Here's the thing, all my CDRW's are done (formated) with DirectCD. Will Nero see them, or will I have to copy everything to hdd & reformat using Nero & then recopy everything back. Does ...

ilmars

I bought a better cable, it said double shielded, & the picture is back to normal. Why do they even sell the other one? Who would find it advantagious to save a few bucks for a lousy (out of focus) picture. I really hate CRAP!!! Ilmars

ilmars

Is that a normal thing? I added a 6ft extention to a mediocre monitor (already a touch blurry), & now it is significantly out of focus. I have (carefully) gone in to the guts of the monitor and adjusted the focus, but to no benefit. Is the extention of poor quality (it looks fair) or do all ...

ilmars

Everyone keeps saying how good Nero is. Ok so I'll bite, but I'm currently running the latest Adaptec (EasyCD & DirectCD), so will Nero "see" all my CDRW's that were formated with DirectCD or do I have to start all over (about 7 CDRW's). Thanks Ilmars

ilmars

Thanks Norm....feel a little dumb not figuring it out, thanks again ...Ilmars

It's the little things that make a difference.

ilmars

This has always confused me......I have a pullout hdd setup with a few different hdd's, different OS's & an hdd with multiple '98's & bootmagic controls boots. To speed up boots I disable my NIC card in Device Manager ( I'm not networking in certain OS's), but I also have an hdd with the NIC inabled ...
