This is on a computer that I built for a friend. He first called me and said that he had not been updating his NAV definitions and that he thought something had gone wrong with his computer. On examination I found that the CMOS recognized that there was indeed a CD ROM drive (and that the...

Well, Last night I wiped Windows ME and I reloaded it. With the 12/12 bios installed WinMe loaded just fine. After the last reboot I loaded the Via 4in1 drivers (ver. 4.25) and the USB filter. I have also moved my Hard drives to the Hot controller. Oh, I forgot to mention that for the reload...

Thank you for posting the article! I will post results tomorrow.

If any of you read the operating systems forum you might have read that I was having trouble with my Lexmark Z51 and WinME. Well, instead of reloading an old system (Bh6, Cel 566)I decided to replace the lot. New SysteM: T-bird 850 Abit Kt7-RAID (with 12/12 Bios) 256 Meg PC100 ram Maxtor 30...

I've given up on my current hard drive. I cannot get ME to load properly. Yes, I have tried system restore even my Rescue ZIP. I did originally install ME as an upgrade. I have purchased a new 30 gig Ultra AT-100 and I will load ME cleanly tonight. YEs I called lexmark! They were of no...

Here is an update on my printer problem. On my ABIT Bh6 rel. 1.01 I changed the printer port from PPP to ecp/pcp. On reboot windows found a new port and installed drivers for it. However, when I try to print I get a new error message "data area to small". Similar results occur now...

ANd yes, I have a BELKIN GOLD printer cable 1284 or whatever standard. I will try your other suggestions. Thanks

My omission here. THe Z51 is parrell only. NO USB.

Configuration INfo, Overclocked Cel II 566@850mhz 256 megs Ram Windows ME. LEXMARK Z51 printer First things first. I have already been to the Lexmark and microsoft sites. Microsoft technet does recognize this error but only has a solution for the Cannon multipass printer which of course I...

You need to provide some additional info. What voltage and FSB settings have you tried? Start by putting back in your 600 and set the FSB to 66 MHZ and the voltage to 1.7. If it posts and boots at 66 MHZ then try gradually adjusting the voltage. At some point you should hit a happy medium...

For overclocking an INTEL CPU take a look at the ABIT motherboards. I have built one machine using the BH6 and three using the VH6. The VH6 has the Via Apollo chipset. The beauty of the Abit boards is the Softmenu controls. These allow you to tweak the voltage and FSB speeds without having...

Yes you can. In the control panel click on the SYSTEM ICON,then click on PERFORMANCE, virtual memory. You must set a minimum page file of 2 MEGS on the primary (C:) partition. This is necessary so if your nT workstation blue screens a log can be kept. So, change the number for the page file...

Did you do a CLEAN install or did you upgrade? If you upgraded then it is possible that the Windows 98 SE versions of TCP/IP and the winsock related files got copied in ME. I had a similar experience when I upgraded to ME from 98SE on my home machine. I could connect to my ISP but nothing...

Upgrade rebate is not limitted to BEST BUY.

Then have your friend call MICROSOFT. They will walk him through the repair as they did for me. Good luck
