PCA Forums

Man... This is sad. Blade was a great guy. I wish I had known him better. Strange, but for me, when visiting or being a part of forums, you almost think the person on the other end of a message post, will always be there. Then something like this brings you back to reality. I'll always have that chi...

Most on this board haven't heard much from me lately... I've never been a frequent poster. Been trying to spend a less time on the pc and get more into life. Anyway, to get to the point... I'm overwhelmed and can't help but say this..... But I had heard that over in Buckingham Palace, during the cha...

Man, that stinks! I clicked on "install minimal/customize" chose the advanced option as well and only checked to download only. I had just downloaded it myself on my win98 machine, and it never once told me to reboot to install anything. I did that before posting just to make sure. Why oh ...

Executioner, You'd have to do exactly what Kakarot suggested. Just point it to a folder you want to save it to, then burn it. Just to clarify for others, what I had originally suggested, was from the point of view of, if you already had downloaded it, but didn't want to go through all that again. Go...

Blade, do you currently have IE 5.5 installed ? If so, and you're running '98, look at the "windows update setup files" folder just below your windows folder. It contains all of the cab's, ect... for IE 5.5 that you had installed. You could burn it to a disk and install it over and over. I...

I had a very similar situation. Bought a grab bag mobo real cheap. Put everything in, power up, fans come on, hard drives spin up, but nothing on the screen and no beeps. I determined that the mobo was bad. All the parts tried were all good parts, in fact they're running in another machine right now...

I wouldn't think CS would be anymore demanding than just Halflife itself. I remember running HL on one of those cacheless 266's @400 with 64m ram, and a voodoo2, only getting occasional stutters, but very playable. My nephew used that setup for over a year and a half and had little complaint, even p...

Only if you get it working.

If you still can't flash it, maybe you could call around to some mom & pop shops. Sometimes you can get lucky and find someone that has an EEPROM burner.

Good luck to you.

Read this entire thread, especially the post from someone named bladerunner.

I just did a simple search with my browser and came up with this, hopefully you'll find something useful in it.

Hmm... interesting Kakarot... I'm not really sure, but I would definitely set it that way for the nic that is connected to the cable modem. I've only fooled around with Sygate once, but thats been over a year ago. I'm still trying to learn this stuff myself, I do find it interesting. :) Come on Schw...

Very good point Executioner. It's always one little forgotten detail......

Add the Netbeui protocol, then UNbind file & print sharing from your TCP/IP protocol . With file & print sharing bound to tcp/ip, your pc's will be visible to the internet, and enticing to hackers. Netbeui should make your pc's visible on your LAN. (im not 100% on that but pretty sure). Good...

Ewww, I hate having to return crap. runk


>>" I've done more flashes than Kodak " hehehe

My main intention was to be informative as to what "boot block" is, but frankly, I'd try exactly what CaterpillarAssasin suggested.


If you've never done a flash, be sure to read the instructions carefully.

Good luck!

I'll try to keep this general, but the boot block is a portion of the bios that does not get overwritten during a flash. It is there for recovery purposes in case you have a bad flash. I've never tried it myself and my knowledge of it is kinda basic. When a flash goes bad, you might not have any vid...
