Re: [H] Admin password
I just today had to do this, and the following link showed me how-to ... http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=305 Only differences in my case were: 1. I was trying to recover admin password(s) from xp-home, SP2. 2. The part where you wait for the repair install to show: "Installing Devices progress bar in the lower lh corner" turned out to be a row of "progress dots" in the lower rh corner - that's where I pressed SHIFT+F10. I got the console prompt. 3. "At the prompt, type NUSRMGR.CPL and press Enter", didn't work for me due to something that was broken. 4. "If you want to log on without having to enter your new password, you can type: "control userpasswords2" at the prompt and choose to log on without being asked for password.", however, did enable me to access my users and reset all of their privileges and passwords. Only did it once, so I may have missed a detail or two. Hope it works for you, too.

Re: [H] Dos in XP ?
forgot about that one, thanks. Shortcut still needs the alt+enter but is fine.

Re: [H] Dos in XP ?
understand, she does need Internet for whatever reason. Using Qwest and could not get it to connect today, not sure if it is her win98 or Qwest, guessing Qwest. She could use a clean install but IMO what a waste of time. Lady is handicapped ( wheelchair ) so I do not charge her. Not sure exactly what she does with this SW for income. I actually have a refurbished HP I am thinking of giving her. Her current box is a 800MHz Compaq with 128 megs ram. In it's day probably not bad. fp At 12:37 PM 8/23/2008, Winterlight Poked the stick with: >At 11:52 AM 8/23/2008, you wrote: >>Have a customer running win98 because she has a very old dos program she runs >>for book keeping.

alt-enter should fullscreen a dos session? and it should be possible to setup a shortcut that runs it fullscreen?

Re: [H] AV receiver question
Many receivers do not do any video processing, they just pass through and switch. The only processing an A/V receiver will normally is conversion between sources. So if your TV is native 720p you want to output only 720p signal. If you hook up a DVD player that only does 480p, then the receiver would have to convert that. But many consumer all-in-one receivers (and TVs) do a poor job of that so it up/down conversion is a priority, you might want to look at using a separate encoder/decoder box like a Faroudja. If he isn't using a receiver, how is he hooking up his speakers? Even if it does zero video processing, having an A/V receiver is worth it for other reasons - like having to run only one set of cables to the TV. And normally A/V receivers are more flexible terms of what ports and sources you can hook up as opposed to a TV. --- Brian On Sat, Aug 23, 2008 at 1:25 PM, DHSinclair <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > My older Brother is now deep into a search for the "perfect" upgrade from > his current analog TV to a (ATM) 42in hdtv. > He called last night and says he will not need to buy an AV receiver > because his sales folk say that the AV reciever does zero video processing > of an incoming singnal-it really only deals with audio.

[H] AV receiver question
My older Brother is now deep into a search for the "perfect" upgrade from his current analog TV to a (ATM) 42in hdtv. He called last night and says he will not need to buy an AV receiver because his sales folk say that the AV reciever does zero video processing of an incoming singnal-it really only deals with audio. Is this true. (He does use Comcast cable ATM.) I thought an AV receiver did do some, maybe basic, video processing; perhaps limited only to "switching." Thank you. Duncan
