I am under the impression that only certain versions can be hacked (there are 4 different chip combinations available), and then it's only for the region. Are you saying that you can hack the macrovision?
No, I don't make your point. If you get a good salesperson they should do whatever it takes to make you a regular customer. After all, every regular customer was once a first timer.
This will soon be moot. Congress is expected to approve a new fee (read TAX) of $10 per tech item as a recycling fee. This fee will be used to fund grants for companies that actually do the recycyling of tech items. There was just an article on this in one of the tech mags.
No, commissioned salespeople are hired to develope a base of loyal/returning customers. A good salesperson will know to offer his regular customers a break in sales price without going below his/her commission level. They will also tell the customer when they don't know the answer to a...
This still only affects the states in which the online store has a presence. It changes the policy of stores like Walmart that were claiming that their online and B+M stores were separate entities.
From a FAQ on the Dell site, it says to pick the media and folder with the file USMT2.UNC on it. The file that the XP wizard put on the CDR is USMT2.IMG. There is no choice of file types in the wizard, it does it all by itself. Microsoft says I have to get info from Dell since XP is OEM from...
I am trying to transfer some files and settings from my old WinME machine to my new Dell XP machine. I have gotten the needed volume down to about 70 megs and told the wizard to use the "other" choice for removable media and pointed it to my CDRW drive. It recorded the info fine and the wizard...
These are still out there. I found 5 in central VA yesterday. 2 were open box, but I got a new one from a RS 4 hours away, put it on my RS card and they shipped it free.
If you've got a Sam's Club nearby check out their gas prices. I pay $1.18/gallon for regular with a sam's card while all the other stations in the area are charging $1.29-$1.39 for the same grade.
NBC had a segment on USPS priority mail on Thursday that said during their tests it actually took longer to send anything priority than 1st class. Most took 1-2 days more by priority. They interviewed a postal employee who said that if the package is going less than 600 miles he would never use...
A quick note about a quote from the other thread.
<< Regarding SVHS vs VHS tapes: Myself, I go the other extreme I use SVHS tapes for my VHS recordings. I find that SVHS tape is worth the extra money because the tape surface seems to be more consistent and gives me a better signal to noise...
Unless Motorola has changed their policy you can have as many receipts as radios that you buy. I did the rebates from last year on the 289, 250 and 6300 radios. Each receipt had anywhere from one to four radios on it and I had no problems getting all the rebates.
A few months ago I posted a question regarding a SiSoft Sandra tip T403 about switching my print setting to an EMF data type to increase printing speed. Someone replied with the correct method to change this setting and it did work for me. Now my dad needs to change this setting and I no longer...
My OD will only do price override to tagged price if the item shows up at regular price. If it's a clearance item marked way down when they scan it it will show "invalid" on the register, then the cashier hits the clearance key and the low price shows up. I did this on several of the Motorola...
This "Freebie" is totally bogus. Lifeline knows nothing about this CatholicFreebies site. The only way to get a $50 is to change your Long Distance service to Lifeline.
Athena,
I disagree, most rebate dollars come from the manufacturer not the retailer. If the rebate fullfillment house can switch you into accepting less dollars for your rebate than they can pocket the difference. If complaints come in to every vendor and each vendor complains to Parago then...
Do any of these apply to WinME?
I tried the first two suggestions but they didn't work.
I removed Tweak from the system as I was anticipating upgrading to XP and the advisor claimed there would be a problem with Tweak. I'll try reinstalling it and see if I can find the logo removal.
Mitzi,
Thanks, I followed your instructions and printed out a new report, it really did speed up the print job!
One other question you may be able to help with, under "Windows Info" I get a "Tip T1308" it says to Boot without the Windows logo to reduce boot delay.
Any idea where I find this one?
I ran a Sandra ME edition performance tune up report and two items have me stumped.
The first is under "Printer Information" - it says "Tip T403 - Lexmark Z42/Z43 series: Print to an EMF data type to improve printing speed"
How do I do this?
The second is under "Process Information - Tip...
I found the answer, in the troubleshooting FAQ's from USR it says that the modem can only be installed as com5 in Win95/98/ME. It says only in WinXP will it be assigned the next available com port.
I just installed a USR pci modem. Before installing I removed the old modem (com2) and then installed the USR as per the instructions. The modem installed itself to com5, not to com2 as I had expected. The modem is working as I am using it now, but shouldn't it be configured as com2?
How would...
This was new about 6 months ago. It is a good deal for those with Sprint PCS and Sprint LD. The sign up page says new Sprint LD customers only, but I was an existing customer when I called and they gave it to me with no problem. After your free 50 are used state to state rate is $.07 and in...
I've been with earthlink for a couple of years now. Whenever they send me one of these promotions I call in and they send me the item and add a 3 month commitment to my account. I got the webcam and the digital camera this way. I never had to change email addresses or pay a higher price for the...
Iwas at Staples to pick up a modem that will work with XP so I can do upgrade. I picked up a USR Performance pro 5610B with v.92. Right next to it on the shelf was a PNY nVIDIA TNT2 M64 PCI card (32meg) on sale for $64. After coupon $54. The box said it had XP drivers with it. The problem came...
Okay, just my 2cents...
When pricing the car with the dealer you are better off making them believe you ARE going to finance it thru the dealer. They will usually give you a lower price than if you say you are going to pay cash, because they know they will make up the difference plus even more...

Yes you can get a one day pass at Sam's. Go into the store to the Customer Service desk and ask. My store always has the coupons sitting on the CS counter. They have two parts to the coupon, one half is a one day pass, the other is good for a $10 gift card when you get an advantage...
