    I'm going to Toronto for all next week and I need to be able to go online with my laptop. My home DSL provider doesn't have a dial up number anywhere in Canada. Does anybody know of a ISP account there? I've heard of them before, but have never needed to try one. I sould sign up a cheap, limited...

    WIN ME for me?

    Well I cannot dispute something is wrong. The memory brand is Crucial, and while not infallible, it is a good brand. I have changed MB, HD and video card in search of this problem. It is also up to or over a month between occurrences. Mostly right after a new driver install, but not always. My...

    I figured out why it didn't work 8-D

    I am an experienced user. I have set up many machines beginning back with DOS 5.0 then WIN3.1, etc. I am not inept. I set up WIN2000 and loved it. Stable, nice interface, I could burn CD and print and the same time. Only problem is what happened Friday, and other times. Without warning I get a...

    Win2k or WinME???

    I have stopped liking WIN2000. It normally runs great and smooth, but when I do have an problem, it's a disaster. I bought a MSI 694D 2 cpu motherboard and installed it. Got it working for a few weeks then intalled a upated video driver from Matrox. Upon reboot it had a stop error and rebooted...

    Video driver failed to initialize? WIN2K problem

    Thanks, but I was kinda hoping for a little more than that. I'm using my wife's computer now to check for any help. Can anybody else provide any info? This is the kind of crap that was driving me away from Windows 2000 before. At least when WIN98 had a problem I could always get around it. I...

    Video driver failed to initialize? WIN2K problem

    I have a VP6 with dual 700E and using RAID 0. I set it up last week with Windows 2000 Professional and was very happy with it. I was having a little problem with my Asus AGP-7700 Deluxe video card. I couldn't get the video in feature to work. It said I didn't have a Asus card installed? I went...

    Help with new WIN2000 install on VP6

    I received my VP6 today along with a pair of IBM 30G ATA100 drives for a RAID 0 setup. I currently have a Win2K/Win98 dual boot setup(I had WIN98 first). I need some instruction on how to install the new drives and install a fresh WIN2000 OS? I'm not bothering with Win98 this time, as I have...
