    Or

    2. Right-click your (Notepad) document. ‘Open With’;
    Wordpad, or whatever.

    Again, save in whatever format you choose from the list offered.

    3. If creating documents from scratch, and Notepad’s .txt format is neither required nor
    necessary for the purpose, use Wordpad. It’s a basic text editor/word processor, but
    still feature rich.
    It comes with all versions of Windows and does all that most folk need.

  3. From what I can find the DMS-59 port does NOT include audio. HDMI does include audio. So, your idea will not provide a total solution. I believe the major difference between DVI & HDMI is that audio is incorporated in the same cable.

  4. So you've got XP on a physical drive jumpered Master and dos on a drive jumpered as slave? A 1920 MB partition is about 2 gig but the drive is 20 gig so you've got 18 gig unused? Or was 1920 MB a typo? A 2 gig partition is the maximum size for a fat16 partition which dos 6.22 uses but 7.1 can use faRead more

    So you’ve got XP on a physical drive jumpered Master and dos on a drive jumpered as slave? A 1920 MB partition is about 2 gig but the drive is 20 gig so you’ve got 18 gig unused? Or was 1920 MB a typo? A 2 gig partition is the maximum size for a fat16 partition which dos 6.22 uses but 7.1 can use fat32 which could allow a single 20 gig partition.

    When you’ve got 2 OS’s on 2 separate drives it may be easier to disable the master in cmos/bios setup and then partition, format and install the second OS on the slave.

    Then when both drives are enabled in cmos it’ll boot from the primary master. When the primary master is disabled it’ll boot from the primary slave or secondary master or slave (depending on how they’re connected) It’s a little bit of a hassle because you’ve got to go into cmos each time you want to boot from a different drive but you don’t have to hassle with a boot loader and then wonder what’s wrong.

    You’re not really green until you’re soylent green.

    this might serve IF there are no other empty lines you want to keep:
    @echo off
    for /f “tokens=*” %%a in (textfil) do >>noblanks echo %%a
    move /y noblanks textfil
    ::===== end
    be sure to keep a backup copy of the original file, since that last command writes over it.

    EDIT:
    Another possible method is to use cable rather than wireless, using a “PowerLine” (or Home Plug) adapter which works via the domestic power cables.

    Always pop back and let us know the outcome – thanks

    The computer is tying to boot from LAN because it is not seeing your hard drive as a bootable device. When you power your system on, tap the F12 key, this will bring up your boot menu. Do you see your hard drive listed there? If you do, then you need to go into the BIOS and go to your BOOT list and set your hard drive to boot first. If you don’t see your hard drive in the boot options, then your drive failed and you will have to replace it. See less
