I can't install my USB Flash (Kingston Data Traveler II Plus 256 MB). As I was trying to install, Windows ME asked me for a file called USBNTMAP.SYS. Unfortunately I have lost my installation disk. Could I get that file from the web or any sources. I have been searching inside the Windows web site...

Hi, I am working on an elderly persons computer and have a question. I formated a Win 98 SE machine and did a clean install of Windows Me per the owners request.

Hi, I have had trouble with my D drive. In device manager it says it a Samsung SD608 DVD ROM but it does not play DVD's. If I put a DVD in the drive it doesn't even register that there's a disk in.

In the meantime, I'd like to use the new drive as a slave. The Seagate disk documentation seemed to indicate that if I upgraded my BIOS and installed...

Geez, have I got a lot to learn! :) That's one reason I enjoy newsgroups. I have never used a flash drive, though I have seen them over at Fry's. I think I'd like to try one for primitive backup purposes and portability's sake. They're certainly cheap enough, and I do have USB 2.0 now. I...

After having my computer shut down for 2 days while I was out of town there is a loud roar coming from the cpu. What should I look at first to track this down? I'm afraid something is about to crash, so I backed up some important data files already, but this noise is driving me crazy. Dell...
