    Can you make a fixed resoltion program run at full screen?

    Good point. I hadn't thought about the actual clicking control buttons and whatnot. I almost always use keyboard shortcuts, but there are a few things that require a mouse. Thanks for the input. I guess I've lived with it at 6x4, 8x6, 1024x768, now I have to live with it at 1440x900. Maybe...

    Can you make a fixed resoltion program run at full screen?

    Yes, I have the Microsoft Zoom Tool, but thats not exactly what I'm looking for, I want to make a single program basically be full screen. Thanks for the suggestion tho. Its not a DOS program, it was originally written for Windows 95 when screens mostly ran at 640x480 or 800x600. There is a...

    Can you make a fixed resoltion program run at full screen?

    Does anyone out there know if there is a way to make a program that was written for a fixed resolution, in this case 640x480, fun full screen on today's newer monitors? My desktop is at 1440x900 and I don't want to lose that space, but its hard to see the program when it runs so small. I'm...

    Can a DOS computer access the internet?

    Does anyone know if there is a service or program that will allow a DOS computer (specifically Concurrent DOS and MS-DOS) to access the internet? Not for surfing and checking email, but simply sending and receiving files via SFTP (ok, ok, I know its not technically the internet). The action...

    Windows install problem... never seen this before.

    Ok, so I may have been wrong on ACPI... I'll do some more reading on this. I've RMA'd the mobo already, and the 2nd one gives me the same problem. ECS tech support says its the RAM (even though I have explained to them that memtest86 runs fine for hours (off a boot cd) and it passes the...

    Windows install problem... never seen this before.

    ACPI on or off, it doesn't really matter. I can't seem to get past the damn error message. I appreciate all the help though. If the new power supply doesn't fix the problem, I think I'll just take it to the Geek Squad or something and let them deal with it.

    Windows install problem... never seen this before.

    Yep, flashing the bios to the newest version was the first thing that I thought of. It didn't help. ACPI is turned off because from everything that I've read, its not a good thing to have on. Basically, from what I understand, it controls power to the peripherals (auto controlled power...

    Windows install problem... never seen this before.

    When you clear the cmos by removing the battery (or the battery going bad) I was under the impression that it will always boot to a checksum error because it 'lost' data. Clearing it via the jumper will not yield a checksum error since it didn't 'lose' anything, it simply reset itself to...

    Windows install problem... never seen this before.

    I did the pull the battery trick (for about 3 hours) then the only thing I changed in the BIOS was 'boot from cd first,' and it gave me the same error. ECS says its a memory problem, PNY says its a windows problem, and Microsoft says its a motherboard problem. I hate companies.

    Thanks for the suggestion! I didn't find that page during my fun fun google searches. Unfortunately it didn't work.

    pc4800 for 85 bucks??

    is this stuff really worth it? you can get DDR2 4200 at circuit city for $35 for 512 or microcenter for $22 for 512 (both after MIR). Why would someone spend 2.5-3.5 times more for memory that would at best give them a 3-5% boost in performance? can someone enlighten me a little please.
