dustypilot22, have some dignity. This is just nonsense, I guess. 😠

I didn't even overclock my rig. Everest was showing 3200 MHz (16x200), but then one day I just bumped the memory from Standard to Max instead of keeping it on Aggressive mode. So, what happened? Now Everest is reading 3216 MHz (16*201).
Funny how that works...

honestly, damn—it led to all those scammers and frauds, kind of like how those self-proclaimed "veterans" are today.

So, I was thinking about this...

Missing childhood, maybe? Or perhaps you were just forced to sing those nursery rhymes in preschool—you know, the one about the duck swimming across the Mississippi with a letter on its head... and now you've ended up with some sort of psychological issue—an antisocial personality disorder, I guess.😁

no? and what's the issue? 😁

Not really an issue.
The trouble was more with the old version—it used to start off like this:
Chapter 1. "How to build a PC."
Chapter 2. "Building a CD/RW drive to run our software."
As for compiling the actual software, that was tucked away at the end.

I think the Wesson stuff is better—it's basically just a soy-based image now, I guess. 😁

I'm just using the Windows default right now—used WinFax 10 back in the day.
The real trick is picking up an external modem (most modern ones are "fax modems" these days, so they handle both). You'll want one that can actually receive faxes while the PC is powered down. I won't name specific brands, but they definitely exist. If you leave the modem on, it just catches the incoming fax and holds it in its own memory until you boot up the computer.
All in all, it’s probably a cheaper route than buying a dedicated fax machine.

By the way—any idea how you can tell if it’s USB 1 or USB 2? Where does it actually say that somewhere?

The absolute best out there—HDD Regenerator.

just don't start

maybe learn some English first, they say:
don't-start-that-mess 😁

Jessica Taylor69 said:So how do I actually do that? Help me out here?

It was ages ago—I don't remember the exact steps. But I think it’s tucked away under "Insert" somewhere.
I'll have to check, though—I still have an old machine at the office running Windows 95 and Office 97 lying around.

Jessica Taylor69 said:Hey everyone—so I finally got that Office installed. Since I'm still running Windows 98, I went with Office 97, which means I don't really have much functionality—not even any icons or charts—but honestly, I guess I'm pretty happy enough with what I've got. 👋

😕 Well, Office 97 actually does include all those features. In fact, the clipart looks better than it does in Windows XP, maybe.

control panel
user accounts
change the way user log on or off
you just disable both there--
log out
then you'll be logging in a bit differently: you'll get a dialog box asking for your username and password
that's where you enter what Equilibrium mentioned.
once you're logged in as an admin, fix whatever issues you've got, and then just undo everything I just described in reverse order.

ps. maybe check if your account is actually in the administrators group—if it isn't, you won't have the necessary administrators privileges, which is probably why you're having that trouble with AVG.

Gerald Doyle18 said:I went through the install, you know? There’s no login prompt—just one single user. Since I'm the only one on here, it doesn't ask for a username or password... I think there was an option to set that during setup, or maybe I just missed it. You don't even get the option to switch users when there's only one account, yet McAfee is still giving me trouble and saying it won't install.

I don't have WinZip on this machine, so I'll probably try downloading it first, getting it installed, and then seeing if McAfee behaves.

Look, being the only user doesn't mean there isn't another account. Windows XP sets up a default "Administrator" account by default. You probably saw the prompt during installation asking for a password for that one, too. You might need to disable the "welcome screen" and "fast user switching" settings if you want to actually get into that account.

Gerald Doyle18 said:Speaking of McAfee—I downloaded it from the web the other day and tried to get it running, but it keeps telling me I don't have enough user rights to install this piece of software. I'm the only user on here, so I figured I was the admin... I guess. I'm running Windows XP, by the way. Any ideas?

Clearly you aren't. Who set up the OS for you?
Maybe try logging in as "Administrator"—just leave the password blank.

dustywalker25, you've got a PM.

Edward Richardson36 said:If you aren't going to listen... Adobe Acrobat is really your only real option. Once you install it, you get that icon in Microsoft Word to save back to .pdf—which is what you actually need, right?

Well, damn—he didn't specify if he wants to save it as a doc or a pdf.
If he wants a pdf, then Acrobat is probably the best bet. It isn't free, obviously, but there are some free little tools out there for that—converting from doc to pdf. I think one is called Smallpdf, or something like that.

I’m not sure I follow—you want to take one page out of eight, keeping just that specific second one you mentioned? If I've got that right, maybe just delete everything else in that Microsoft Word doc and hit save.

Lawrence Miller4 said:Even if you turn off the page file Usage, it seems to keep running anyway—I guess it just doesn't listen.

I don't know—never actually tried it, I guess. 🙂

I set up a RAM disk and shoved my page file onto it—since the virtual drive driver limited me to just 100 MB, I managed to squeeze a 95 MB page file in there. I guess I can actually feel the speed boost, maybe.

Could you explain how to actually do that? Or maybe just drop a link—if it helps, I’m hoping this old junker of mine might pick up the pace a little.
