Thanks for the timely reply, trizoy and sorry about my delay in replying, but... it was the weekend and I didn't want to think about work too much. I was actually able to get it to install by searching for printers (Start -> Search -> For Printers...), finding the printer, right-clicking it, and...

We have a medium-sized network at work and in one area, about 50 computers in a small space use one printer. They all run Windows 2k, including the computer the printer is shared from. All the computers can access the printer, but one. It can see the printer, but when I try to add it, I receive...

I think it's a great idea as a learning experience and to be able to feel that you have accomplished something. My C++ programming class wrote our own browsers in high school and we used Borland Visual C++. However, a free C++ editor is Bloodshed Dev-C++, so you might want to check that out.

What you should be looking for (at least, it's like this on my Dell) is a purple-ish disc that has your OS on it. Put that it, boot up, then look for an option like "restore Windows," then just follow the directions. Good luck, mate.

No. Well... this'll work if you want to upgrade to xp pro sp 2, although if it's not a work comp, that's technically illegal... well, it'll work provide it's the right type of dell laptop (needs the right drivers)

From my experience, beeps usually show something is wrong with the processor, so your chip might have just had enough. If you have another comp you can borrow, try swapping out parts with it to make sure your HD, RAM, etc are fine and try to find the problem that way. Slow and steady wins the...

Yeah, just put the disc in when it's starting up. You'll need to make sure it boots from the CD, which is in the BIOS screen. With your laptop, you'll probably get there with F2 when the black Dell screen first shows up. You should find it in the boot sequence list, or something similar.

LMAO... sounds like a nice siggie to me... newegg doesn't deliver to igloos... hah! :D P.S. Just saw your location... love your humour, mate.

Viewing angle is measuring how steep of an angle you can view the monitor from. For example, you normally sit right in front of the screen, but now move a couple feet to the right. You are now viewing from a different angle (which angle depends on how far you move). A larger viewing angle means...

If you absolutely do not want Automatic Updates at all, go to Start->Run type services.msc Look in the list for Automatic Updates, then Disable it, then Stop it. Voila!

Be very careful using these programs. I tried one and it messed up my kernel. Thankfully, I was able to repair it without losing any information, but it was a hassle. I recommend just being happy with your boring startup screen. If you really want, there is a way (through regedit) to keep it...

Green volume bar? I'm not quite certain what you are asking, but if you can't see the sound icon on your taskbar, it might have been hidden by one of those programs. To get it back, go to Start->Settings->Control Panel->Sounds and Multimedia (path might be slightly different based on your...

When your computer is starting up, you should see a message that says push something (F8, I think?) for advanced startup options. Do that, then pick reboot in safe mode. That automatically puts you as the administrator, I believe. I'd check myself, but I'm using 2k Pro, sorry.

As far as finding the printer's IP (I don't know if you still need this, but I didn't see anywhere in here that you had found it), it should be actually on the printer somewhere. If it is not on a sticker, or something, you can get to it through the menu. Every printer is different, so I can't...

Thank you. That looked a lot better than anything I found in my searching. I'll let you know if it worked tomorrow when I make it back to where I was working earlier today.

Exactly what I need to know (sort of...)! I'm running a Windows 2k server with 3 separate servers sharing the work. One of them is in a separate room because the main printer is installed to it. I want to get this printer separated so I can have all three dcs in the same room. I've searched...

I recently reinstalled Windows. After encountering and fixing various hardware problems, I began installing some video games. I begam with Worms World Party, but when I tried to run it, the screen goes black (like it's starting) and then... nothing. Back to Windows. I reinstalled the game and...
