    Black and White Playback in PowerDVD XP 4.0

    Has anyone else had this problem, where the playback is in black and white, not color? I seem to remember having had the same thing crop up in version 3.0 and changing a setting somewhere to restore color playback, but I can't remember where it was. Frame grabs save as color images, but the...

    FIC PA-2013/Keyboard Mystery

    I hope somebody's had the same experience and can advise... I recently transferred a box from my wife to my sons, changing only the peripheral hardware. The motherboard (FIC PA-2013), RAM (256 meg), sound card (SB-16 PCI), and chip (K6-2/500 mhz) were all working fine in the original setup...

    Roxio EasyCD Creator/DirectCD in Windows XP

    I'm planning on doing an upgrade to XP from an existing installation of Win2k in the next day or two. At least until the XP upgrade comes out of EasyCD Creator and DirectCD 5 comes out, I'll be running the latest release of that software. According to the report generated by the XP...

    Do you still have the number to get a replacement mouse? I checked the Microsoft website and wasn't able to find anything specific. Thanks!

    25% off sale at Fandomshop.com

    Not only are their prices extremely high, but they offer very little selection in favor of large packages. For example, if you wanted to purchase a single action figure from a specific manufacturer or show you'll find yourself out of luck since this company likes to collect individual pieces...

    Where do I get the AMD Case Stickers?

    Does anyone have an extra unused K6-2 case sticker they would part with? I have quite a number of K6-3s I could give in trade. <g> Thanks!

    MS Intellimouse Optical and Win ME

    I'm using the Explorer on my Win2k machine and haven't had any problems. I went through several mousing surfaces just for feel, not performance, and ended up using a metal Sun mousepad a friend got from work. It's perfect. I have my wife using the standard optical intellimouse on her computer...

    any PCI modems guarenteed to work under Windows 2000??

    I just built an Athlon system a week ago with the ASUS A7V mb which forced me to go with a PCI modem. I got a ModemBlaster 56 and I'm pretty pleased with it. It logs on faster than my Zoom ISA and connects uniformly with a strong 48 kps connection versus the 46 kps max I got with the Zoom.

    PCI to ISA Bridge Problem with VIA Chipset in Window ME Clean Install

    I've just done a clean install of Windows ME on a K6-2/500 with a FIC PA-2013 motherboard. Everything went in find except I'm getting a flag in Device Manager on the &quot;VIA Tech 82C586B (PIPC)PCI to ISA bridge.&quot; I get the same notation regardless of whether I'm using the Win ME drivers...

    I remember some time past that someone posted a link to a patch which allows access to DOS in Win Me but I can't find it anywhere. Would someone please repost the link? Thanks!

    WinME Clean Install Probs?

    I've done an upgrade install on a desktop system with a K6/200 with no problems. I also did an upgrade on my 300 mhz laptop which went fine the first time except for not displaying the systray icons for AC current/battery consumption. Basically, the upgrade didn't import/preserve the portable...
