just got on and read the above posts---thanks Mosaic! Haven't felt too chipper this afternoon and evening--just got up from a rest. May have to hit the hay early, but wanted to be around. QoH: are you serious about those speakers?? https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
A-hem.........A-hem!!!
I am on Mercy! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
heh heh heh
Congrats! But I thought it was a boy? https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
It is ! Lord have Mercy! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
This is great !
Pages are really slow to load need to odo the iSpeed thing too.
Lots of stuff to adjust and add. This keyboard is strange too.
Er...exactly what do you mean by "strange"....
Unusual! Like me https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Just feels different..kinda touchy
My addresses didn't work on the floppy neither did my bookmarks. Oh well. I'll worry about fixing that later.
Get this one running good then go back and repair OLD.
No it's 5.0 something. needs the updates.
Another thing to do.
I think it just needs a little adjusting like we did on the other one. That file did transfer to this computer on a floppy. Hopefully it is in tact. If not I'll download it.
Got to put the other stuff on bistros CD on here too.
Just closed the preview pane on Outlook Express.
I'm going to shut down and install the iSpeed and the new stick of RAM too.
Thar' she goooooooooes...somebody stop her!!! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
To install TweakUi: Right-click on the .inf file on that CD--it'll install to Control Panel.
Suggested Settings:
Mouse: Menu Speed--one notch above "Fast"
If you have a wheel mouse--check the box
General: UNCHECK everything under Effects. Those Windows effects chew up memory and slows performance--cute at first, then irritating. Can check "beep on errors'.
Explorer: Hate that little arrow on shortcuts (I KNOW it's a "shortcut"--they're ALL "shortcuts"). Select No Arrow.
Uncheck all the below except "Save Explorer Settings" and "Adjust case of 8.3 filenames".
IE 4: Check "IE 4 Enabled" and "Detect accidental double-clicks". Don't worry that it says "IE 4".
Desktop: You can use this one to remove those occasional "unremovable" icons off your desktop. Comes in handy.
My Computer: Leave alone.
Now click over on the arrows for more selections.
Control Panel: just use if you want to get rid of some icons in Control Panel. best to leave alone.
Network: You don't have a network (or is THAT in your plans too? https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ Leave alone.
New: In an Explorer window, when selecting File>New, the pop-up menu will give you a choice of Folder or Shortcut, then lists some applications to associate with what you're making. With just about every app you install, Windows puts an entry in here automatically---can get crowded to the point where you can't select anymore--too big. This feature allows you to get rid of those entries that you don't want there.
Add/Remove: Does NOT Add or Remove. Sometimes Add/Remove programs under Control Panel doesn't get rid of the entry after removal--the program is gone, but the name remains. This feature will get rid of the name.
Boot: CHECK "Function keys available", "Start GUI automatically", and "Allow F4 to boot...". UNCHECK "Splash screen"--this gets rid of the Windows splash screen on bootup: speeds it up a bit, but if you REALLY like that splash screen, then leave it checked. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Repair: About the only one here to mess with is Repair Icons--whenever the desktop icons do not display correctly--clears and repairs the icon cache--comes in handy from time to time.
Paranoia: Named after my personality. Self-explanatory entries--your choice. Same for "play CDs" entries. All mine are unchecked. Don't like CDs playing automatically as I insert them.
There...long enough? https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ Have fun with it. Watch how fast your start Menu pops up after you make these settings--be thrilled and amazed....
Oh yeah...that did it!
The RAM is in, too. and iSpeed tweaks done. There we go. Much better. Thanks to bistro.
These windows flllllllllllly open now! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
More tweaks ! Yipppppppppppppee!
Ok I'll go install the tweakui and other things on the CD.
Hi all, looks like you don't need any more conversationalists at the moment. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Take care of yourself, Bistro, gargle salt water 3-4 times a day. Take 2 aspirin and check back in the morning. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Train, where are you - I'm headed for 98.
Have fun QoH. Be back.

Welcome finally to the World of Speed. How's those speakers? Working? Don't forget to check out those TweakUI settings on Page 2--didn't do all that typing for nuffin'... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
https://discussions.virtualdr.com/I saw um. I'm fixin' to do that now.
Can it be any faster. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Speakers are doing fine. Sounds like a thunderstorm when the desktop appears. Neat.
I have to check out those sounds in there too on the Sound Blaster thingy now that I can hear them.
...oh...and I was teasing about the Cerwin Vegas
Had to come back to copy those tweaks before shutting down.
