It's kind of a safe-mode to access the hard drive in Windows 9x: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/130179 But it's not recommended because it's slower than the normal "native" mode.

This patch is also useful if you use Windows 98 to get MS-DOS 7.1: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311561 Regards.

I normally install the manufacturer's drivers in order to get more functionality, but in this case I just didn't need anything else. I don't need special effects or equalizers, so Microsoft's drivers fill my audio needs perfectly fine.

sergm, Man, that's bad news, I have a Realtek codec in my mainboard! 🙁 However, I've never bothered to install Realtek drivers. I just use Microsoft's built-in drivers included with Windows 7. Have you tested your Realtek codec using Microsoft drivers? Does it make any difference? Kind regards.

Guys, if you want to compare antivirus, you should take a look at the MOST important metric in real life! The vast majority of malware infections in real life are caused by new/unknown viruses. Detecting older viruses is a piece of cake, almost all of the antivirus get excellent scores and extremely …

This program is also worth checking: http://cmrr.ucsd.edu/people/Hughes/SecureErase.shtml Remember that it must be run from DOS, though.

This sounds like a veeery nasty infection. What I often do is slave the infected drive to another rig and scan from there (though usually I just do the reformat thingy) I did just that. And passed a full scan of Kaspersky (fully updated), Microsoft Security Essentials (fully updated) and McAfee …

Re: Ah, the joys of Microsoft's disregard for UEFI standards!

So, you hate Microsoft for not following standards, and you also hate Asus because they follow standards? Anyway, i think that the whole UEFI thing was just made to make people more confused and less likely to install alternative operating systems... ASUS leaves a lot to be desired in their …

Hi people, Today I've wasted several hours of my life thanks to Microsoft, ASUS and UEFI (in no particular order), so I'm going to explain it here to help anyone who has this same problem in the future. I was installing a computer with an ASUS P8H61-M LX mainboard for a friend, with a 3 TB hard disk …

In reality, I've never find that compatibility helper any useful, but annoying. I agree wholeheartedly. In fact, one of the first things I do to all my Win7 computers is typing this in the command line: sc stop "PcaSvc" sc stop "AeLookupSvc" sc config "PcaSvc" start= disabled sc config "AeLookupSvc …

Running as a standard user under Windows 7 is also a very useful defense against malware. Most malware is unable to run with reduced privileges. If you run as a standard user, you will be asked to type an admin's password when the malware is trying to infect you. The defense is as simple as not …

Be careful, ClamWin seems to be useful for virus only: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqubOCZa0_Y Sad thing is, virus today are very rare. The vast majority of malware is now composed of trojans, keyloggers, adware and rootkits. Regards.
