    You can’t take the “built-in” administrator account out of the “Administrators” group. That’s where it belongs and is likely why you got an error message.

    I’d definitely take it out of the “Guests” group, though.

    Leave it a member of “Administrators” only, then change or remove (temporarily) the password to get access to the account.

    Of course, you shouldn’t be using the default Admin account as an everyday user account, so you shouldn’t have any files under ownership of that account. The default Admin account is meant for management and maintainence of the operating system and group policies, not common user-level tasks.

    You can set up a different account and take ownership of any files currently allotted to the Admin account. Google for “take ownership XP” for instructions on how to do this.

    Please let us know if you found someone’s advice to be helpful.

    It depends on how much you use it, but no you don’t need to have it in the startup menu, it just won’t update automatically when you drop something into it from another location, and you won’t have immediate access to what’s in there. The main difference you’ll notice is that when you open it from the desktop you’ll have to double-click it twice – the first time nothing will apparently happen, but the program will have started and will be checking to see what has changed. The next double click will actually open the dropbox folder.

    I found no useful “hits” when I searched with: Bannsan 94v-0 BS-6

    but searching with: Bannsan BS-6
    does yield some.
    (94v-0 is a marking found on thousands of electronic devices and merely indicates the device meets or exceeds the requirements for a standard spec.
    http://www.hagans.biz/pdf/ul94v012.pdf )

    E.g.

    When I search for Bannsan BS-6 in this:
    http://mbed.org/forum/mbed/topic/19…

    ….it shows a possible LCD part number – 162B-D Rev A

    You may have that part number or a different one.

    If you search the web with whatever part number it has you may be able to buy one.

    E.g. I searched the web using: 162B-D Rev A

    and got a “hit” on this site:

    http://www.uscomponent.com/catalog/…

    You can request info about whether that part number is available and how much it will cost you.

    The dos setup file that I have from iomega for zip drives is iodrv-dos-x86-10.exe. Try that setup file. If you google it you should be able to find a download.

    I assume the parallel drive is external. Make sure the parallel/printer port it’s connected to is set to ‘bidirectional’ in bios setup.

    Are you sure it’s a parallel external zip drive using a parallel cable? Iomega made SCSI external drives that looked exactly the same as their parallel ones and used the same DB-25 cable connection that parallel ports used. You can connect a DB-25 SCSI cable to a parallel drive (and vice versa) but it won’t work so make sure that’s not the issue.

    I tried once to install the drivers on a floppy bootdisk but had problems somewhat like what you’re having. So if you’re trying to install to a floppy instead of the hard drive that may be the reason.

  7. See if you can determine exactly what you have. Some Athlon II's were Phenom II's with a core (or 2) disabled plus the L3 cache disabled. Sometimes it was because the cores or L3 (or both) were defective; other times perfectly good cores & L3 were disabled. Newer Athlon II's lack L3 altogether sRead more

    See if you can determine exactly what you have. Some Athlon II’s were Phenom II’s with a core (or 2) disabled plus the L3 cache disabled. Sometimes it was because the cores or L3 (or both) were defective; other times perfectly good cores & L3 were disabled. Newer Athlon II’s lack L3 altogether so obviously there’s nothing to re-enable. It’s not a true Phenom if there’s no L3.

    Junkware Removal Tool (JRT)

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/dow…

    ccleaner

    http://filehippo.com/download_cclea…

    JRT installs to the desktop from where you run it. It opens into a dos style window; follow the instructions therein. It will reboot the system as part of its process.

    Install all the above using manual/custom option – NOT the default/proffered automatic. Watch and carefully uncheck all those pre checked boxes (so helpfully pre checked) other than the actual utility itself. That way you avoid acquiring al manner of pest and changes to your system; many of which are PIA to eradicate.

    Retain any logs generated for possible reference if the pest persists…
