Forgetting the Lada Niva :)

Being dos 6 makes it easier. Ive never installed or used dos so I cant tell you what to do from experience. It should be quite straight forward though.... Have a read of this MS article FDISK /MBR rewrites the Master Boot Record

Sounds like the MBR needs to be rewritten. Do you know which version of dos? Im guessing a later version (5 or 6) I find old pcs like this very appealing! One day i'll have a collection! I like the old cpus too. The old intels are going up in price now too. A couple of years ago 4004 used to...

This freeware worked good for me. LightLogger - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com Simply install it then under the start, programs, heavenworld, lightlogger is show logs (default) This is a html page shwoing websites I logged into complete with username and...

Not without installing a program first which will log that sort of info. Its not anything ive had to do before but ill have a look at whats around. What operating system do you use (windows xp, vista, linux etc?) and which internet browser do you use? (internet explorer, firefox, opera?)

What sort of computer is it? 286? 386? Does it have a harddrive? Is it an os/2 system? EDIT: Ok, I think you might have a typo in your message. Zenith 386 sx. Microsoft os/2 1.3 seems to be ok on that system. Not sure about Windows 3. Finding either will be tough! Post back with as much...

I think most (if not all) motherboards will support 64bit cpus. Check the list of supported cpus on your motherboard manufacturers site. To get a 64bit pc you need to choose a 64bit CPU and a 64bit operating system. To make full use of your 64bit capability you need 64bit compatable...

I used to get a murderer... now I get a management consultant company. There is someone by my name that directs a human origins program and also an american politician from the 1700's Where's that murderer gone!

No, im a breakfast dinner, tea person :-) I used to be cheshire folk, now im in wales!! But im less than half a mile from cheshire and shropshire. Northern... which is what counts!

knowing the whole story: the bible, god, radiocarbon dating, the big bang, evolut I have had my OU fees paid for by the government. As long as you earn less than £20k ish you get a non repayable course grant and also £250 for materials. Thats from the proper Student Loans Company which dish out...

Check your BIOS settings. I know a windows reinstall doesn't touch the BIOS but its worth checking if windows doesnt recognise your onboard lan card.

You would normally get to BIOS if it was a power problem. Its always worth checking every lead (power or data) whenever you start rooting around under the bonnet!

ESD? ? Sorry, dont know what that means. Not unless you mean electrostatic discharge. The only thing ive known to have killed a hard disk is dropping it. Check you have plugged it in correctly. Old pcs like you 150mhz jobby dont always have a notch in the IDE cable and it is very easy to plug...

knowing the whole story: the bible, god, radiocarbon dating, the big bang, evolut We didnt get taught about the big bang or evolution when I was in school. I remember being surprised to learn that we didnt have to learn about terminal velocities in school either. But they tell you about how...

Thanks for the reply. Sniper. tbh I cant be bothered messing about with it anymore. Ill just create a single shared folder and throw stuff in that. I wanted to share the whole drive but sod it! Its only so I can keep a few films on the big desktop hdd. The main thing is the printer works!

I have a vista laptop and an xp desktop. Both are part of the same workgroup. Both have a shared folder. When I try to access the shared folder on the vista laptop from my desktop a username/password box pops up. I fill in the blanks and I can access the files. But when I try to...

To be honest mate, that doesnt make any sense at all. Are you saying that when you turn the pc on the power supply fan and cpu fan spin up but nothing else happens? Do you get any beeps when you turn the pc on? The best thing to do in this situation is to run the system barebones. That...

I stopped paying attention to the performance and quality of components a long time ago so feel stuck in the middle of a minefield! 80% tinternet 15% processing RAW images 5% games (but may increase) Im tempted by the quad cores but i'll only benefit when playing games.... and im not...
