Re: [H] No Longer a Dell Fan
Exactly, puffed caps and the computer usually will not boot. Sorry Chris we order them with enough ram and I don't work on the help desk anymore so I don't really touch the desktops. Ben contact me off the list and we can work out getting those cd's to you.

[H] SoundBlaster PCI 128 CT4730 Auto Play Issues
I have formatted Drive C and done a clean install of Windows XP on a Compaq Presario S4100CL Athlon 2600+ computer. I have done all of the Windows updates etc. The onboard Realtek AC '97 Audio allows Windows Media Player 10 to play audio in different formats, but the final output (the green one) sends on audio to speakers or headphones that I know work. I have check the standard settings for volume levels and nothing is muted. I disabled the onboard audio in the BIOS and re-enabled it, still to no avail. I disabled it again and tried to install a SoundBlaster PCI 128 CT4730 sound card, but the install of the software hangs up windows, even in Safe Mode. I tried each of the available 3 PCI slots with only the sound card, leaving the other two PCI slots open, to no avail. I am sound card poor here in my shop since most computers have been using onboard audio for years. Only recently did I finally sell of my last SoundBlaster Live! and Soundblaster PCI 128 cards and have just bought these two new PCI 128 cards to install in computers with inoperative onboard audio. I have no other models to try. I did install one of these SB PCI 128's into my shop computer and it works fine. This mess is just another piece of convince evidence I have gathered in over 8 years to prove to me that custom built computers are far more easier to work with than name brand computers. Not only does the onboard audio fail to send audio to speakers or headphones and the sound card will not install, Auto Play will not work either. I tried two new CD/DVD devices, to no avail. I checked the Auto Play settings and they are all ok. This is a rebuild into a new case of a Compaq computer. If I can not resolve the audio issue, I will end up having to trash this motherboard and CPU. Surely I am missing some simple something. Perhaps it is as simple as trying different brand sound cards until I find one that is acceptable to the Compaq motherboard. Have any of you went through a stack of different brand sound cards trying to get one to work in a computer? I have in the past. I do not have a stack of them to go through this time. Is Auto Play tied into this problem somehow? Any ideas in solving the audio and Auto Play problems will be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance, Chuck

I had a small mom/pop shop install a SB128 in a ladies IBM machine saying that her Realtek didn't work. I pulled the SB changed the Control Panel/Sounds and Sudio Devices/Audio tab so that the Realtek was the Default then I held the SB in my left hand some 3 feet away while playing Tada with my right hand to show her there was no magic trick that the mom/pop place had screwed her. The speakers that came with the IBM weren't amplified the volume had to be turned up quite a bit but they played just fine. CW could you back channel me please? Thanks --+-- Wayne D.

[H] SBS 2000 Question on licenses
How do you determine how many licenses are installed on a SBS 2000? If you go into the Licensing Control Panel applet it comes up with the error To add more licenses, refer to the Small Business Server Console but no where in the small business server console (that I can find) does it show you how to determine how many licenses you currently have, only how to add new licenses. KB296052 is especially frustrating, as it is titled How to determine the number of client access licenses that are installed in Small Business Server but doesn't actually tell you how to determine it. Also of complete annoyance is the following website: http://thesource.ofallevil.com/sbserver/community/sbs_faq.mspx It has: Q. How do I determine the number of CALs installed on my SBS 2000 server? A. From the Administrators Console, click Help. If you still can't find the number of CALs installed, take a look at http://www.sbs2000.info/tips_tricks.htm for an example of where to find this information. Of course http://www.sbs2000.info/tips_tricks.htm is a site hawking the sbs2000.info domain. If anyone knows, please share! I'll post here if I find the answer first.

[H] Anyone interested in a PocketPC based PDA Phone?
Offering it up to the list before I put it on ebay. I have an unlocked GSM T-Mobile branded MDAIII, which is a Windows Mobile 2003 PDA phone. Various other carriers have the same phone - it's known as the Siemens SX66 (without camera), iMate PDA2k, XDAIII, or by it's OEM name the HTC Blue Angel. Specs: 400mhz Intel XScale Processor 128MB RAM 320x240 screen Slide out backlit keyboard SDIO/SD slot 802.11b wi-fi Bluetooth Quad Band GSM/GPRS USB Sync Includes the original box, charger, cradle, manuals, software, etc. The cool thing is there is a site dedicated to hacking these phones (http://www.xda-developers.com) and there is a hacked Windows Mobile 5 firmware that runs on this phone, albeit a little slow for my tastes. If you have a data plan you can sync with an Exchange server so it acts like a poor mans blackberry. Alternately, it can poll POP3 and IMAP servers for email and whatnot. It's a great phone, but I want to get the HP 6515 with internal GPS. Asking $550. -ben
