Thank you, I'll go & open my neighbor's machine & check the memory. At least it's a start, right ?
The computer isn't mine, but I know for sure that the case hasn't even been opened. Do you think I should open it, & make sure the memory is in place ?
Anybody know what this message means?
"Alert! OS Install Mode enabled. Amount of available memory limited to 256mb. Strike F1 key to continue, F2 to run setup utility. "
This machine boots to the windows screen, then this warning comes up. Pressing the F1 key does nothing. Also, the hard drive sounds like its going nuts for a short time when the message comes up.
TIA,
JohnD
It is an HP Pavilion a1640n. I picked up that Intel E7300 processor & fan that you mentioned. I STILL haven't put it in~ Business is finally getting more sane, and I intend to do it soon. Nothing to set - just drop it in & fire it up, right?
TIA,
JohnD
Hi Bruce,
GREAT reply - but I'm not sure it'll be understood~
Going to try to put that new, faster PC in this week, BTW. Been working on a business project, & will be VERY happy to get it in & over with ~
Hey - thanks for all that YOU do, ok ??
TTYS,
John, a (pretty tired) fan
Very good post, fabian
re. margin - I had 3 margin calls in one week in October, '87~ It took my credit cards & a very wealthy friend to keep me alive. That was one tough week~
Hi Phil,
The pages are full-sized, it just seems that if there is more print/data, the print-size on her monitor simply shrinks to a small, illegible size. Strange, I know~
HTH,
JohnD
Got a call from as friend who uses MSN & Internet Explorer. It seems that when some web pages & emails load, tjhey are so small that they are ilegible, depending on their size. Any idea where or what setting might have been changed to cause this??
TIA,
JohnD - who ALWAYS returns to IHub to get help~
Also true of ASTM, FWIW~
JohnD
I suspect that there are many of us still around. In my case, I'm a lurker, with nothing to add~
Please keep up the good work.
JohnD
Try MA/RI~
I had the same problem since last nite. I fixed it by just going to;
"investorshub.advfn.com"
It took me to my regular screen, already logged in~
FWIW,
HTH,

MCZ was one of Bearmove's favorites. I believe he was holding many thousands of shares. Anybody heard/spoken with him ?? I hope he's ok.

Hi Phil,
I actually reached a HUMAN voice this morning at Verizon. They found the "telephone-side" of the connection to be bad, & will have the line repaired by monday afternoon... At least the DSL side has been ok, so far. Hope I don't jinx it now! ;<}
Thanks for all your past & present efforts for all~
JohnD - seemingly in one mess after another....
I forgot to tell them that I had DSL~ It IS with Verizon also, match~ Now I'm wondering what they tested. It is so DAMN difficult to talk to a LIVE person, but I guess that is what I'll have to try to do today. The DSL side is fine, just the phone line w/no dial tone. ;<} Is it possible that the splitter has gone "bad" ??
Thanks,
JohnD
I (naturally!) didn't describe everything enough. The Verison DSL line has a splitter, & the DSL is fine, but the phone has died, & has no dial-tone. I have tried unplugging & reconnecting everything, at the damn phone, with no change~
I hop that I've explained it better~
Thanks for your efforts.
TIA,
JohnD - land-line dead ....
Anybody telephone-smart ? I've got a cordless phone that has no dial tone all of a sudden. If I call the number from my cell, I get a busy-signal. Verizon claims the line tests fine. I don't have another phone to check the line. Anybody got any ideas ?
TIA,
JohnD - phone-challenged~
Any idea where QID will open today ? PM action is pretty interesting~ <g>
JohnD
I wonder what would happen if there was a power outage~
Noticed gold now 887. & silver is 16. Pretty big jump~
JohnD
FFHL up over 50% today on big volume. Anybody see any news today ?
HTH
JohnD
Is this what you're looking for?

FFHL is moving up in PM, and on pretty good vol. this morning.

Anybody familiar with "Kodak Gallery" ? I've just learned that if someone has shared a "gallery" with you and their computer crashes, you lose the pix too. Is there any way to save a gallery to/on your machine, so that it can't be lost???
TIA, & hope I explained this well enough~
JohnD
OT~
I'm pretty sure that it was BoA came out with a rather "inovative program" to give credit cards to illegal aliens, by not requiring any social security numbers~ ( a new, "untapped market" ) Seems kind of fitting - "Bank of AMERICA"~

Hi tc,
Does that "wizard" offer you the option of using your external hard drive ? If not, I'd buy any hard drive I had to - just want to know if I would HAVE have to~
Sorry for my ignorance, & thanks for your help.!
JohnD - trying to keep out of trouble - IF possible~ ;<}
Acronis will create what they call "Bootable Rescue Media," which I do every month or so, by burning a CD~ I always copy my entire hard drive to an external hard disk once a week. I'm not very technology-savy, but believe that if I connect my external hd to another machine & boot from the "rescue media," it'll work. Now the "caveat" - I've never tried it~
FWIW,
JohnD-who thanks you for all you do for us "in need of help" ~
Bruce, what are the differences between Casper and Acronis True Image? I've used Acronis for a couple of years, & wasn't aware of Casper til you mentioned it. I'm curious if I should consider switching~
TIA,
JohnD
Just noticed that gold & silver closed up nicely today~
FWIW,
