On my Persario 1200XL the windows splash screen fills the screen and
the pre OS loaded text is awful. I cannot find any unstretch commands
in the BIOS...? How to get it to look less ugly??

I deleted a program (think it was PowerDVD) that came bundled on my
XPS Gen 4 computer using the Windows Add/Remove. The trial period had
elapsed !
When trying to open Record Now, the PC locks up with a blue screen of

I have signed up for DSL and am required to have a Ethernet card. Does my
Dell Dimension 4600 computer have a Ethernet already installed? I looked
under device manager (Windows XP Home)and there is a listing for a Intel (R)
Pro/100 VE Network Connection. Good enough?

Am looking at 5100c but cannot find a place on the Dell website were they

windows\system32 directory provided no information, but maybe that is
how this beastie operates.  

Sorry for the cross post but I'm at my wits end on this.  I've googled up
the wazoo and can't find an answer ;)
I have an I5000 that I bought from an old place of employment.   About a

How can I set the Asset Tag (and Owner Tag) on my new D610 laptop?
I found a utility called ASSETA00.exe.  It self-extracts its files to a
floppy.  You must then boot the D610 from the floppy since the utility
will only run under DOS.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and or comments.  The
"Band-Aid" I am using now is Zone Alarm.  Norton's AV had been
compromised so I un-installed and then re-installed it.  Between ZA,
Nortons, Spy Sweeper, and HiJackthis I have had no more alerts that

Will I be able to unhide the hidden drive partition(s) when I receive
my Dim 9100? I want to be able to image the partitions to a usb

I purchased a Dell Dimension 2400 & 9100. The 2400 came with 256MB of
PC3200 DDR CL3 in one of two available [MM] slots. The 9100 has 4 [MM]
slots with, in two banks, with a 256MB PC2-4200 DDR module in each
