Thanks Norm, doing a lot of reading at the moment . . . looks like some learning but I think it will be well worth it once accomplished.

I appreciate the help.

Slipstreaming sounds interesting, but from what I read I thought it ws only for adding the service packs to prior versions of the OS, but if I can add other components as well that's great! I too want to keep it rather light with just the basics; office, adobe, NOD32, and the flash players like adob...

I was wondering if it possible to make a Windows Xp Pro SP3 CD/DVd that would have all my favorite programs already to go on it, so I can avoid installing everything after installing the os. I know I can make a ghost image but that only works on the same system, I want one that would work on any sys...

Hi, I am running XP pro on a new machine I made; Asus P5N-D, Intel Quad Core 2.5G, 2G RAM, MSI NX880GTS. I have been networking all my pc's at home for years and have never had this problem, and all of them have the same operating system. The problem occurs when I set the "local security policy...

There is a much easier way to make a DVD out of AVI's and that is to use WinAVI instead WinAVI Converter Home Page . With WinAVI you can in one step create the DVD files needed and then simply burn it with Nero, or whatever burn app you like. This is done without having to make the extra step of con...

Thanks FP that makes sense. I guess I'll just send these off to the professional printers then.

I like Outlook Express because it is so much smaller than Outlook. Plus, there are several nice back-up and restore utilities for it to make data recovery a snap.

I can't seem to figuree out how to make the background fit the entire page. It always prints about 1/4" from the edges and therefore leaves a small white border. I have tried it in Publisher, Word and both Office 2003 and v12 BETA wioth the same results. There must be a way to make the backgrou...

Thanks Mega Vectra, great material. I only wish it was as simple as it is with Outlook Express . . . Outlook sure is a pain in the arse.

Much appreciate the help.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to create or edit e-mail messages in Outlook in html? I have been using Outlook Express for many years and I can simply click on "view" / "source edit" and create or edit the message in html, but I have not been able to find anything in Ou...

I'm a 5 . . . maybe I need sensitivity training.

Dennis Weaver, and now today Don Knotts. Who's next? They always go in three's.

Many thanks for the help, :bow and sorry about the delays in replying back as it's been rather chaotic here lately. OK, I've checked all the cables and they are all straight-through cables. The Linksys Hub I am using has from left to right: ports 1,2,3,4, with 5 and uplink in common. I have one of t...

Thank you for the help, this is tremendous! Well . . . FP I am using cables that I purchased from a store to run from the hub to the three computers. I have no idea if these are crossover or whatever type cables. I just bought ones that the salesman said would work for this purpose. I have configure...

I am running cable broadband in my garage through a cable modem and then into a D-Link DI-604 router. In one room of my home I have three machines that I want to network. In this room I only have one cat-5 outlet, so I bought a Linksys 5-port hub and used it to accomodate the extra machines. It work...
