    I found if you have mapped drives that will sometimes happen. I finally just reformatted/reinstalled AGAIN and it went away.

    Sharing folders in XP Pro

    Under Win98/Me I was able to just assign a read or read/write password to a folder I wanted to share. I'm not looking for security just the ability to keep wide open shares closed unless needed to avoid (for one thing) viruses like BugBear spreading. How the heck do I assing a simple password...

    Weird problem with FDISK

    << What exactly did you type? Like what parameters did you put in? ie. a:\>fdisk ... >> FDISK :) There are only 2 or 3 command line options for FDISK. I even downloaded the Microsoft FDISK update and still the same problem. I've been doing this for 16 years with never a problem running...

    Weird problem with FDISK

    << Maybe your floppy with fdisk on it is messed up? >> That was my first thought but it wasn't the case. :( P.S. I'm trying to partition a 40gig drive.

    Weird problem with FDISK

    I have an Intel 850MV Motherboard with P4 2.4gig CPU & 1 gig RDRAM. I'm trying to create a FAT32 partition on a brand new hard-drive using FDISK off a WIN98SE Boot floppy. When I type FDISK I get the "do you want large drive support" message. I answer YES (or NO) and it drops back to the A...

    PointClick claims forms? Who got this email?

    Don't even waste your time being concerned over it. The first people to get any piece of a bankruptcy are the banks. Then they pay like 3c on the dollar from the highest creditors down. We'll be lucky to see 10 cents (total). The letter is a legal requirement of the court. It must be sent to...

    Joint Class action committe: ETAK PCMCIA GPS SYSTEM

    It's CNET's error, we need to confront them. They posted (according to ETAK) an unauthorized rebate form. I would have never purchased this item if it wasn't for the rebate. Now I can't return it (cut out UPC and mailed it).

    SKYMAP 2000 GPS - PCMCIA V1.0 SINGLE 1-DOC $75 rebate-NOTE~early buyers~pricematch yourself w/onvia

    I think C-NET is the one at fault here since the rebate form (according to ETAK) was never autorized by them. I received my PCMCIA model, cut out the UPC, &amp; sent the forms certified mail (I send any rebate forms $50 or more via certified to CMA) - so I can't return it. I would NEVER have...

    10% Off For Onvia through Pointclick is active NOW

    Pointclick has me confused. If I buy a $300 CPU from ONVIA for example, send in the reimbursement form etc (assuming I follow their procedures) do I get a CHECK from POINTCLICK for the $30 or is it a credit to another purchase from one of their &quot;partners&quot; ???? Also, has anyone ever...

    HP DeskJet 930C and E-Stamp Rebate UPC Code ***UPDATES*** POST HERE

    FastEddieG ... I agree with you 200%. They specifically ask for a UPC BAR CODE. That's what they asked for, that's what I sent. I gave the printer to my kids and they tossed out the box already. If they reject this there is going to be hell raised! They got mine on 6/22 ... haven't heard...
