Well, Joe, I don't know what's missing but, I have a computer I cannot reload the original version of ME on, because it says I need the ME Upgrade. So I got one. Which will not load because it says i
Eek, that's tough and it has me scratching my head. Lord knows why the full version won't load, go figure. I'm afraid I'm not *that* much of a computer nerd to be able to diagnose your difficulty fro
If you reformatted the hard drive and got 'drastically reduced hard drive space' then you didn't do it correct!! It just doesn't work that way. What 'format' did you use? There are numerous versions
Ken. I've found Netscape to be a source of trouble. I work as an IT tech, looking after a network of 200 odd Windows computers on a 100Mbps LAN, with Novell Netware doing user authentication, network
Tom, the format used came straight off the Windows distribution disks. This is a known deal with some hi capacity hard drives - and I do have the Maxtor distribution disk to restore the drive to the

I think Chester has just about "hit it on the head" so to say. One thing I keep reading is that a lot of home computers have faults, and thus require restarts and resets. At the same time, I read her

Is this a computer users group or a Tentec users group? With the new breed of radios I believe that you'll agree,........ it's both. We've read issues here where a radio won't function after an attem
Ahmen to that!! Once our Orions, or any other SDR's start seeing upgrades, we better all learn to read and follow the update directions VERY carefully. It sure would be a shame to render that new Ori
I'm not responsible for a galaxy of computers, but do have to keep the users in my small office happy. Oft times I believe that a reboot is a time issue. A user sticks his head in my office and says
As far as the TT upgrades go, they could not be easer, only if they came to your shack and did it for you. Have the Argonaut V here and the upgrades upload themselves. I am sure the Orion will work t
Good points. I've published academic articles about them, they are important to keep in mind. I would disagree with the "99 percent" of problems being the user though. I am concerned with the *engine

You guys missed my point completely. I did not say, "ugh, unix good, mmm, windoze bad" I said that I considered the MS OS offerings to be immature. Stability running a single application isn't enough
Boy, not only was I not thinking out of the box on this one, I must have been locked in it! We are creatures of habit. What an incredible concept. A virtual spectrum; just block out the segment you w

My apologies to those who're starting to get tired of this thread, so just a "quickie:" Micro$oft gets much of the blame for system crashes because: (a) they have a long-standing reputation for relea

Ron, no need to apologize...this is one of the more interesting threads I've read on the list. Of course, being in the computer "biz" I'm biased. We have several hundred workstations running Windows;

I think Clark has a good point but as I stated to one user, it is this statement that is of concern. "If you can read, you can upgrade your rig." This should be changed to say "If you read (the instr
