Oh, and regarding Anti-Virus...
Unless you have a specific reason, don't pay for AV... All these free products get the same updates as the retail products. If your broadband provider like SBC offers one, use it. I think theirs is CE. Second option is probably AVG http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1 Last is Avast. This probably is the most secure as it interfaces to email, Internet, disk, P2P, etc, but it is a slight resource hog IMHO. http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html Since I store everything on my server, I have all three running on differeent clinet machines so I figure I should find just about anything.

What's kinda funny is that I have never had a machine that uses that RAM... I just happen to have them from somebody who upgraded and asked if I wanted the old stuff.

I'm pretty sure I have Jonny's number around here somewhere :looks around franticly: Uhhh, maybe I don't have it.
Dean thanks for the hardware, Scotty thanks for the OS, Cody thanks for the help reformatting. I got pulled over last night on the way home from your house Cody, apparently my registration is expired. But I have a question. There are 2 hard drives now, and one says it has 7.98 gigs of space (the one Dean gave me) and one has 18.8 (mine). Why does Deans have only 8 gigs of space? Does it have something to do with the jumper settings? And if it does can I just rearrange them to make it work or is there more to it?

So what did you end up doing if you didn't use my drive? I thought there was data on his drive he wanted to preserve.
RAM work? Today's Dilbert is priceless...

I tried all 4 of the jumper settings for Master and a couple of the ones for Cable Select, but the system would hang as soon as it booted from the Windows install CD every time. Replacing your HD with his fixed that problem so he said we could wipe it. Somthing that I had never seen before was that after the Windows installer loaded all drivers and asked us to agree to the lic. agreement by hitting F8, it would look for previous installs of Windows and then blue screen with the error msg., "Registry_Error". Luckily I had a Win. 98 Startup floppy and fdisk fixed that problem. The RAM worked great. He's now got 384MB which coupled with his P4 1.2Ghz Processor and XP Home ain't too shabby.

Lol, dilbert rocks.
Wait so we didn't use Deans HD? How do I have 2 local drives? I have: C:\ local, nothing is on it. 7.98 gigs D:\ local, all my everything is there, program files, my docs, etc. 18.8 gigs E:\ CD ROM drive A:\ Floppy The C drive used to be my main local, the D used to be my CD ROM. How is it I have two drives then? Also I didn't bring in the box that Dean put the stuff in from my car, so the drive could be in there, but that doesn't explain 2 seperate local drives. His drive HAS TO be in there right? Where would I just get 8 gigs of extra space? And there was data that I wanted to preserve but you HD wasn't taking the boot disk. Or something, ask Cody, I don't really know this computer stuff.

What? So where the hell does that extra 8gigs and a different local drive come from? Are they coming from the same drive? They both say NTFS I'm pretty sure. I mean total i have 26 gigs of space, how is that possible when I'm using the same drive I was before that is only 18.8 gigs?

If you aren't using the drive, it goes back in to my good usable parts for the needy bin.
It's one of the 7200 RPM IBM Deskstar screamer drives. Still one of the faster drives out there, and tough as nails. Right Click My computer, manage, device manager, and hit disk drives, and get the model number(s). That will tell us what is physically in the machine. Next, Don't close any windows, an in computer managemetn click, storage, Disk Management. On Disk0, and/or Disk1, should have partitions, sizes, and types... You may have to "hover" your cursor over some of the descriptions to get the full details. Type those things up and post them... We'll figure it out. On second thought, you can be lazy, and do a start, run, msinfo32 Go to Components, storage, and then cut and paste the stuff from the right side for the sub headings Drives, and Disks for us.

Yah, what Dean said.
What Jonny is so eloquently trying to say is his computer has no NIC. Anybody have an old 10Mb/sec one they don't want?

You people suck... Figure out what we need before we start...
I can't beleive it doesn't have an on-board NIC under/over the USB ports, but if it doesn't, I have a dozen or so 100mg. I threw out all the 10meg ones ages ago. How the hell did you do Windows update and AV install without a NIC and broadband? You did do those, right?
