thanks, but the solution turned out to be surprisingly easy... even if old school. I realized that PM8 DOS boot disks were using Caldera to boot and load successfully, although PM8 could not delete the bad partition that it created and that was causing the problem. MS DOS 98 would not boot,

I think internal phone lines have 4 wires (2 lines). Normally, I see these as Red, Green, Yellow, and Black. No need to further confuse with various White w/stripe wires. I leave this coding to the "experts." ATM! Is there any good reason to have a central phone block/box inside the house so I

Rick, Interesting share. I missed the "X-Ray" pix. And, now, I find in 2010 that I did NOT spread my AS5 properly on my C2D's. DAMN! It is tough when manuals get revised and I miss the revision! I spread my AS5 on the small, round silvery puck of the Intel HSF. Did the old "credit-card" tr

Red stars like noise? That's the kind of thing you see when the video ram is OC'd or overheating AFAIK. I guess... I see lots of bright red stars. I am not overclocking the video card... no need for this four year old game with this pair of one year old 4970s. I don't think it is overheating
