I only have 1 USB port, and this's a 1 time need for a floppy drive. I was able to create a virtual floppy using this program: http://chitchat.at.infoseek.co.jp/vmware/vfd.html Thanx for the help people. Jae

The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 8500 (service tag d88qh31). It's Intel based and in the bios there's a SpeedStep option (it's selected). Windows was reporting 256mhz, when it's supposed to be 2.4GHz. It was stuck there so I reformated. It ran at 1.2Ghz after that (Home/Office power setting). After...

I have SP2 and current with XP updates. Is SpeedSwitchXP still necessary? Has XP addressed the throttling issues? Thank you. Jae

I have a program that installs from CD and needs a 3.5" diskette key to activate. However my laptop does not have a floppy drive. I tried mapping A: to my desktop's floppy, but the program says it didn't find anything in my floppy drive. I dunno what else to do, and I can't get a hold of...

Hmm... I like your 2nd idea of protecting the cd from being copied. What's a program that can do that? Jae

I would like to add basic copy protection to cds that I burn. How do I do this in Nero? Or is there another program I need? thanx! Jae

If I plug my webcam, SanDisk Cruzer, or Compact Flash reader into my usb port, Adobe Photo Downloader pops up. This happened after I installed PhotoShop Elements. How do I make it stop popping up? It's pretty annoying. thanks. Jae

I used to use McAfee ASAP, and my computer ran very well. I almost didn't notice it taxing my system when running in the background. Unfortunately the license has expired. Since ASAP ran well, I went with McAfee VirusScan. Now my computer's running very very slowly. Will Norton Antivirus be...

when I used pc133 ram, it wouldn't work. guess it requires pc100. Jae

awesome. thanx people! that fixed it. Jae

I have a Compaq Armada m700 1000mhz. I bought 2 generic 256mb pc133 modules, but the system says incorrect memory installed. I bought the computer with a 64mb pc133 and 128mb pc100 modules. The exhisting pc133 downclocked... so why won't my new ones? Jae

When I go into the Bios setup, it shows at 1000 MHz, which's correct. But Windows XP sp2 says it's a 700mhz. Norton thinks it's 700, and so does CPUz. Where's my other 300mhz? Thanx! Jae

dell, ibm, hp, compaq... i can't seem to find their refurb sale site. can i get some links? thanx! Jae

actually, I was looking for a contact cleaner for automotive purposes...My idle's pretty funky and I think it's due to the connections. Everything checks out at the dealership (already did the 60k service, which cost a booty!) and they're outta ideas too. The lubrication thing was to keep out...

I was looking at this product and thought it was ok: http://shop.store.yahoo.com/webtronics/404b-340g.html Does anybody have an opinion on it? Can somebody recommend a low cost contact cleaner? It would be nice if it had lubricant or dielectric properties. Thanx! Jae
