Updated to 7.07 and that seems to have solved the problem. Did it twice, in less then a minute. First time considerably less, like 15 seconds. S

Tried it again. Took 3 minutes to spool 10 pages. It looks like a Reader 6.0 problem. It goes to "Not Responding" in task manager for no reason. So, doing the math, 16 X3= 48 minutes to get ready to print. Have to try updating reader, maybe that will help. It only uses 3% of the processor, and...

I'm on a mouse roll. The Kensington Mouse in a Box is out of production. MY 60 dollar BoomerSpeed hasn't worked nearly as well as the old one. Couldn't go left with it, trying to play Quake 4. Took the trackball out, and, it feels egg shaped, seriously, egg shaped. That would explain it's...

HMMMM. I printed from a Dual Xeon 2.8 GHZ,2 gigs of ram,going to a HP 4000N, over my network. However, it maybe that PC MACLAN is the culprit, since for some reason, the card in the HP was setup for macs, and, without a intervening program, the computer is not viewed on the network, unless...

Got an Indian based, bad English email that Kensington doesn't have any trackballs for my mouse. :evil: S

Downloaded BugMeNot, then opened the file from Firefox, and it installed. Wouldn't do it from their server. VERY COOL. Thanks S

Sechs: Drop me a private with your email, and I'll attach the file, and you can try converting and printing it, if you'd like. The document won't print until it's converted, which in this case, meant changing from Micro to full size. S

Thanks I can't seem to get it to download from here. http://roachfiend.com/archives/2005/02/07/bugmenot/ Getting can't install due to download error messages. S

What is Bugmenot??? S

That's funny. I have a mouse in box that some low life student at Balboa did the same thing to. Have to give it a try. Thanks S PS Despise NIkon's website, software, and support. Anything mac, at this point. I really like Samsungs Laser Printers, have one that works just fine, and was...

My manual would require me to get a jeweler's lighted magnifying glass to read. I suspect the reason the manual took so long to print is that each page was tiny, and, reader had to resize each page to make it readable. It still failed to use the resources avaliable to speed up the process...

Try it after you forget that you logged in prior, without purchasing a Camera, because you wanted to look at the features and manual prior to purchase. Also, if you don't hit your magic little sequence, getting through the Nikon website is really annoying, and, when you get messages that you...

Before you can download the manual for your camera, to get a printable version, you have to go through a registration process, that requires screwing with cookies, etc. Then, you find out either your name is taken, or, you forgot the password, unclear which, or, you failed to register the...

*nix? s

Anyone else used AcroPDF? Tannin, I'm typing on a machine using Corel Suite 12, and, for 12.00, how in the world could you beat it with a stick??? OEM. My SO, Lisa, has used Wordperfect 8 and 9, and 12 has been bug free, and an easy transition. S

I thought it was the scanning features in Adobe Pro that might have made it worth more then a few cents. That said, it finally converted, and printed the Nikon D50 manual, but it took about a half hour. *nix? S

Right now, it's taken me 30 minutes to get into Nikon's website, and, another 15 minutes to print the manual, thanks to Adobe Acrobat Reader, 7.0. Adobe is becoming enough of my life I'm wondering if going up to Reader Professional might not be worth it? Anyone worked much with it, or that...

After a wonderful day at the office, I came home to a non-booting, SO computer. Pop in XP disk, try and boot from that. Forget I have to switch from the wireless keyboard and mouse, to the wired stuff. Find SCSI LSI drivers floppy. Do that, and, after a few, "windows does not detect any disks"...

Hi Has anyone had success using any VRS programs to do word processing documents? If so, what program did you use? Thanks S

OK: Been kicking around trying to figure this out, and so far, this is the site I've come up with: https://www.securepaynet.net/gdshop/hosting/hosting_build_website.asp?prog_id=insupport&ci=1805&se=%2B I gather the software allows easy access and changing of the webpage, without knowing HTML...

My bad. :wink:

Isn't S*ny famous for shipping with outdated firmware? I know I had to download, and install, the current version of their firmware to get the burner to burn at 8X, which was on the box. Otherwise, the old firmware it shipped with only went 4X. Costco is a great place. Returns without many...

Small community with that size rounds. JDJ, Lee Jurras, Linebaugh, Bakers, Brost, they all know each other. S

Ok Let's get specific. This is the website. http://www.jrhgunmaker.com/ The site needs to be added to easily, spell checked, and modified easily. Any suggestions on the easiest way to do this? Thanks Greg

Hi I've got a friend that has a business, and he needs a website working and functioning. I'm wondering what you need to host a website, and what costs are involved with your service provider. In other words, is SBC going to freak if I use my broadband to run a website? What software am I...

Hi My SO uses Aol, and, I've found a rather intresting bit of work. the process file waol.exe was using between 95-100% of the processor on the Athlon 3000, at idle. When I started working, it continued sucking up the cpu. I stopped the process, did a little research, and, it seems to be...

If someone GAVE me a super high end mac, with scsi raid boot drive, and removeable drive setups, I'd certainly consider playing with it. Otherwise, forget it. S

David's better then he gives himself credit for. It's already disabled. Thanks Greg

Mercutio: The last of your four instructions doesn't seem to go to the right place. Could you check that one? "4. Open Admin Tools > Local Security Policy > Computer Config > Administrative Templates > System and change "Display Shutdown Event Tracker" to Disabled. " Computer Config is the...

I really don't trust apple at all with hardware. Even their famous laptops have had some sort of twist, or problems, in my experience, or been absurdly overpriced. Their towers have sucked eggs, giving you a emachine with a Alienware price. S

Sorry Sol: I'm not thinking the last couple years, I'm thinking from my first Mac Plus to now, in perspective... s

Well, still issues are the OS changing every six months? Now, that shouldn't have any hardware excuses. Will all the 3rd party software producers do the upgrade every month charge, as in the past? I can see this with pc hardware, easily. Want to upgrade? No drivers, unless you upgrade to...

While this guy didn't really give it the full run, it looks like a Seasonic, but 50 bucks cheaper. Competition is a good thing... s

What an amazing change in business strategies... I can't get over the incredible change.... Almost makes me think macs might, sometime in the far future, be a viable alternative. Now, if they just provide quality, unneutered, hardware for thier price, I'll be convinced... s

Mercutio: Enjoy it. Female attention can be a wonderful thing... s

Mark: What OS are you running? Can that machine work up to 8 cores???? s

I just got out of a school district, Cabrillo Unified School District, Half Moon Bay, that has a standard, POS, install, with 2.4 ghz celies. They SUCK eggs. Even with a stripped down, ultra low price install, it barely matched my 1.4 ghz, 8 year old, or so, Athlon. When coupled with a...

One of these nights, we ought to wander down to the Sardine Factory.... s

My early 20's I had the experience of a 16 year old. My late 20's I became a 50 year old. Where do you think Merc fits on this scale, after reading his experiences...? s

Sam: David has his s... together. His idea of partying, is, well, lightweight, compared to the stuff I did at his age. He's amazing, that way. Alcohol, in moderation, doesn't make one depressed. David, in my observation, keeps control, and awareness of the evils of alcohol. Salinas is a...

Mercutio: I don't see David drinking himself silly, but, slightly indulgent. Still, in his area, not a lot to do. Seems like they roll up sidewalks at Dark, down there. As for the 18 year old: Have a more worldly view of age. The majority of the world is still on the old common law system...

Hi David Try going here http://www.traffic.com/index.html and setup your highway routes, and alerts. I think you can get on the net with your current phone, anyway. With that, you can check at anytime, what the freeways are doing. I've found if I check the freeways at departure, it...

Doesn't anyone see the small detail, that it requires going mach 5 before it starts working? Just a minor detail. At Mach 3 Titanium starts flowing. I want to know what materials will take sustained speeds at Mach 5, much less Mach 8. s

By the way, about every two weeks I was getting a virus in some spam email. It's been two years now, and, thanks to the email features, and scanning in Penicillin, I have been virus free, knock on wood... S

No I didn't pay for the anti-spyware, that was included in the Penicillin package, which, so far, has kept this machine virus free, though Penicillin is really annoying... S

That's the really weird part: I ran Adaware, and, I have Trendmicro Penicillin, paid version, including their anti-spyware program. I also ran their web based spyware program, and it found a bunch of stuff my paid version didn't. You just reminded me to run trends free version of anti-spyware...

Hi I just went through a really fun experience. I was told I needed a new Code4 to view some windows media player files. I was suspicious, but tried it anyway. WRONG MOVE. It installed files into my temp folder, in Internet Explorer, that appeared to be linked to a warning about I had...

LM: The difference between the drives, in all the tests I looked at wasn't enough to get me to fork over the money. But, my CF-51 came with a ATA 6 4200 rpm drive, and sustained data transfer is not the double that I look for, before buying a new drive. Tony can certainly afford to play with...

Hi Since I have two of these now, I thought I might post a bit about the heat stuff. With my computers, I've been trying to cut noise down. On the server box, this meant not installing a 120mm fan to blow over the PCI cards, and, in the new box David built, it meant keeping the fans running...

Mercutio: No, just a very nice set of headphones I can plug into the front of this machine, with out having to squirrel about with the cat to plug in in the back of my server box. "Have you tried running the installer in Windows XP compatability mode?" Yes, no joy. I guess I could just buy a...
