Thanks for your help, and I also learned how to spell "modem".

can a motem work sometimes and not work other times - even when the computer troubleshooting says "no problem"?

still a problem Thanks for answering. It's still not working. No I don't know which update it was or how to find it. Do you think it is possible the motem is faulty even though it says it is?

see if this might apply: we received a windows update Nov 10th - the same time we started having trouble. We just deleted the update and the computer seems back to its old self. What's up with that? Could that be it?

The thing has worked fine for 4 years, now will dial & "connect" or "code 721" or "code 777", or "timed out while dialing". My wife has spent probably 30 hours working on this problem. The only thing we can tie it to is my wife starting to download KAZA then changing her mind and stopping...

It's a most expensive cup of coffee It was 169 $.

Thanks for the global counsel! I didn't know about the help with diagnosing/getting keyboards on the web - I should have..... I had already sent it in. They've received it at a Toshiba "laptop depot" in Louisville, Ky. I'll have to just see how they will handle it - I mean if the 3 year...

The waste of this really vexed me. I just had this Toshiba Tecra A-2 4 months (didn't get that extra insr), got coffee down the wrong pipe, started spewing left, laptop started to fall, looked back and spewed - not much - on keyboard. I then did what was probably the worst thing now that I...

This is probably what is happening. I was wondering if there was a way to find out whether it was this or something else. The program I was referring to was "All Ports" - which I downloaded from DOWNLOAD.COM - I wondered if this was a possible application.

4W4K3 I have a Dell with Windows XP/ Norton/ AVG Anti-Virus/ Spy Bot search and destroy. There doesn't appear to be any virus or spyware left to remove. I have clicked on Norton and it has said "system status refreshing". I thought there might be a way to find out what's going on with one...

When I turn my computer on sometimes it starts doing something, whatever goes on in those little "hotels" - but I can hear the electrons bouncing around. During this time my computer is slow as a glacier. I suspect it is Norton checking things out or Microsoft shuffling the register - but...

Thanks Switch, The little Toshiba is running windows 98 - not sure which. I'll check that site. Not sure what "ghost" means. A usb backup drive I assume means more than one of those little key chain storage devices.

:confused: Toshiba 470 CDT, works good now, bought it cheap on Ebay, "blue screen of death", then restored, printing, accepted "word" "excell", it's now working great. How can I make a backup disk for this since it doesn't have a cd burner or floppy disk? I have another (good) computer. Can...

It seems like this camera used to autofocus better in cold weather. Now, it wants to blur - the Attention!AF symbol comes up it seems at about 30 deg F. Is this a camera problem or common to digitals?

Tnx I did that I got on the web and downloaded I think 7 years of updates. It didn't help. I have decided to send it back to the Ebay guy for repair/replacement. I like the Pizza Box except for that. I wasn't going to try anything exotic with it.

I bought this Toshiba Satelite 470 CDT on Ebay. It was originally sold in '98 (Toshiba from serial #) and has Windows 98 (SE I think). It was a little while before I realized the USB port won't recognize anything - printer, storage unit, scanner. The guy I bought it from says he will look at...

:confused: I just got this Toshiba Satelite 470 CDT pretty cheap on Ebay for use with my construction records, etc (no internet use). I have a new main battery ordered, but it says the "internal battery" is "not there" (thats the screen report). I have a new "clock battery" ordered (I'm not...

I just got notice this pizza box is on the way! What can I expect (I've only experienced this Dell xp something giggahz. Do you have to turn it on the night before? Seriously, what will it do.

Thanks, that gives me the picture pretty well. It's like putting a v8 in a lawnmower - you could do it but why. (Guess I'll learn to look at speed)

Thanks for the input. I think I have the link here: I don't see anything about video. By the way, is it possible to change the processor or is it not practical? It does sound like it will do what I want from your answer. It mentions 1000 Mb Hard Drive, also dual PCMCIA slots (is that memory)...
