2 parallel port?

I have had too many problems adding a second parallel port - IRQ conflicts, among other things. Then you have to take the time to troubleshoot. Go to Best Buy or Circuit City or someplace like that, and get an A-B Switch box. That's what it is called, A-B Switch box. You will need three...

Problem running Scan disk and defragmenting

Screen savers do this! Everytime the screen saver kicks in, the windows swap file changes which which creates a change on the hard drive which causes ScanDisk to restart. Have nothing running except Explorer and Systray, and turn off your screen saver.

I would remove the scanner and all files from your machine. Then use RegMaid RegMaid to clean up your registry. Make sure you delete all references to the scanner from your registry. Reboot into Safe mode, and check device manager for any resource conflicts. Reboot, and reinstall your...

Will computer catch FIRE ??

The only one's that really count (servers, AS400, etc.) are located in a room with a Halon system, So even if they did catch fire it wouldn't last long. And there are some people ... I'd love to set fire to their PC's.

error message everytime I come to this site

That stuff can't get past your firewall, and probably never will. It cuts down on bandwidth, and could be a security problem. Alternately, your versio of IE may be too hold, and can't handle the Java stuff, etc.

Question about maxtor udma66 drive and defrag...

Unfortunately, when you install certain softwares they write some of their information to certain clusters of the hard drive, and always reference that spot. They won't allow defrag to move them as it would screw up that program's operation. That is why defrag rearranges everything around...

Restart problem

If it is not a video problem i.e. drivers, card failing, I'd take a look at power management, as in disabling it and see if that doesn't solve your problem. I have seen more shut down/restart problems caused by BIOS and Windows fighting over who's going to control power management.

what's a "windows protection error?" and how do I get rid of it??

This is usually caused by a hardware problem - bad RAM, incorrect device drivers, failing card. Boot up into safe mode, and check device manager for any problems - you can see all devices in safe mode, which you can't otherwise. If you have recently installed a device, take it out and try...

Or hit the F8 key when you see 'Starting Windows 95'. Or, in Tweakui, go to boot tab, and check 'Always show boot menu' and enter number of seconds to wait.

Have you tried reseating the processor? I've seen flakey stuff like this before - sometimes reseating, sometimes replacing the processor with another one has solved the problem.

Serial Mouse Problem

Serial port may be bad, connector may be bad, may not be enabled in the BIOS, may need drivers - check device manager - may have IRQ conflict - check device manager and BIOS. Why don't you just copy the file over to a Win9x machne and open it in Word (or any other text editor)?

I almost got it

Some wild shots in the dark here - try Netmeeting ??? You aren't by any chance using NetBeui instead of TCP/IP? Double check your protocols and network settings, and try deleting all cards, etc., and reinstalling with the most current drivers. Also, can you ping the ISP from the laptop?

PCI Bus Mastering

Older MoBo's with ISA slots had Bus Mastering enabled/disabled. You also had to be careful with the placement of the PCI cards - closest to the MoBo, but farthest away from the ISA. You need to read the documentation for the MoBo.

Why can't I get a serial mouse to work on this machine?

connecting to an outside network neighborhood

I believe you need Virtual Private Networking to connect to another PC like that, and you would need to be able to get behind the ISP firewall(s). I think it would be easier for them to get a phone modem and for you to call their PC.
